GEORGIA AND HER cONvICTs.
Georgia has again discovered that
the lease convict system is both fall
nre and disgrace. The investiga-
ton by the legislative committee has
shown that tho leasing Of convicts to
contractors and corporations deprives
the State of labor needed for Its own
benefit, leads to the corruption of State
officers, and subjects the convicts to
neglectful and cruel treatment. The
revelations Of the infumanity the con-
victs had to endure from Many Of the
lessees have shocked the whole State
and given rise to a demand that the
present system be abolished
The lease system solves none OF the
problems of convict labor, or OF the
proper treatment of criminals. On the
contrary, by no other system is con-
Wet labor brought into more. direct
competition with honest labor; in no
other system are criminals subjected to
more brutallzlng and hope-destroying
conditions. Everywhere 1t has been
tried the same evils have developed.
A bill is now before the Legislature
Of Georgia putting an end to the sys-
TEN by December 81, 1911, and mean
while providing for the betterment of
present conditions. This is probably
the best practical solution OF the sub.
Jet. The lease system, despite Its
many abuses, has become interviewer
