FARM COLONIES
ASKED TO DRIVE
7 OUT THE TRAMPS
Gov. Hughes Requested to
Make Recommendations
to Legislature,


ALBANY, Dec. 2l.--Robert w. Heb
berd, Commissioner OF Charities; Robert
w. Bruere, of the Municipal Research
League; and Edmund Kelly, lawyer, a
student OF sociology. appealed to Gov
Hughes to-day to recommend in his an
nual message the enactment OF a law
for the establishment of farm colony
for tramps. This statement in support
of the proposition was handed in by Its
promoters:
THE proposed farm colony proposed
in connection with New York institu-
lions has actually rid many countries
in Europe of the tramp, and proceeds
upon the simple and obvious plan OF
putting idle men on idle land.
Although It is difficult to make money
out of the land, 1t is easy to get nourish-
ment out of it. Farm colonies, there
fore, in which the agricultural element
predominates, as in Switzerland. are
self-supporting.
Magistrates are unwilling to COM
nit tramps to the workhouse, partly
because they cannot easily distinguish
the willing from the unwilling tramp
and partly because the warehouses are
overcrowded. Hence, the Importance OF
instituting farm colonies, to which II
will be a blessing, rather than a dis
grace, TO be committed. Thus only can
the burden OF the tramp be lifted off
the community without expense to the
State beyond that o. first instalment,
THE Farm Colony bill proposed pro-
vides for the appointment by the Gov
ernor of five trustees whose duty 1t will
be to select sites, appoint and direct
principal officers and exercise a general
direction over the colonies. They are to
serve without compensation"
