The problem ii good roads. cause
championel for many years by the
people Of the rural a1id outlying dis
tricts OF the United States, often with
misdirectcTi zeal. and the problem OF
prison ln',cr, In which organized tree
labor has been arrayed In bitter fight
against state and prison officials,
would MT have seemed to have close
and vitsl connection few years ago.
But general movement, now we'll
launchHH In many states and steadily
growing In strength means that the
solving of the one problem will be the
parti& solution OF the other. says
Francis NJ. Buzzell in Popular Mechan'
les. This movement is the building Of
good roads by convict labor.
The movement has not been devoid
of strife, nor has the opposition come
only from convict brokers and con-
tractors. Criticism has come from
public officials, and even from voters.
who. although demanding better roads.
fought the convict labor proposition
strenuously. In the state of Alabama.
for instance. the use of convict labor
upon roads was. and still Is. being
fought with bitter opposition and the
severest criticism, but opposition can
not long stand before the reasons In
favor of the movement.
According to experts who have stud.
led the problem of good roads and the
problem OF prison labor jointly. the
building of public works which could
not otherwise be undertaken Ia the
sole occupation in which convicts tan
be employed which will not encroach
upon free labor, and which will aetu.
ally UNNECESSARILY increase the de-
mand for the services of free labor.
beneiting at the same time the GRIM
inal and the free man. No influence
more destructive upon human charac-
ter can be imagined than enforced idle
ness. while to allow the activity Of the
convict to be employed in making
products for sale at prices below the
normal market is degrading to Amer
lean labor. Not only are these asser-
tions made by those who have stunned
the subject, but also tina. there Is no
branch of public improvement OF such
general Importance to all the people
as the making OF improved highways.
The activities of the convicts In the
United States constitute In the aggre-
gate an enormous force, and how to
use these activities most effectively
in constructing highways Is a vital
question.
The list of states now using convict
labor on the highways Is too long to
mention in detail. but Colorado. New
Mexico and Wyoming are using such
labor to construct great highway
which will run through the three
states. and Washington, Oregon, North
Carolina and Georgia. as well as sev-
eral other states. have gangs at work.
Illinois is using a number Of her con-
victs in crushing stone for the roads,
believing this one Of the most practi-
cal ways of employing such labor In
road construction, although not as
beneficial for the prisoners. perhaps.
as actual road work.
The fact that 1t takes prison-con-
fined men, be they petty or hardened
criminals, into the open country where
they gain a closer companlonship with
nature, Is not lhe least important
phase Of the problem. !

cape from such camp 1t is conceded
that he can easily do so, but that he
may be overtaken elsewhere follows
as a matter of course. and the penalty
one which Is dreaded by any convict
who has a taste of open work-means
that activities will from then on TO the
end of his term be confined within the
prison walls. Only five officers are In
charge of the camp. which Is CON-
posed of tents. The convicts sleep IN
one big tent. and during the day are
divided into five gangs, each officer
having charge of a gang. Eight hours
of road work constitute days labor.
and the men must so to bed promptly
at nine o'clock every night except Sat
urday, on which they are allowed an
additional hour. Amusement is al
lowed to all in the camp. Some II the
conyicts own and are able to play mu-
steal instruments. Cards are also al
lowed. Some spend their time pitch
ing quoits, and baseball game Is usu-
ally played every evening before dark

The method of guarding tie con
victs working on the roads In the Sta

but amusements are just as numerous.

was the building Of a wagon road

the convicts. The character OF the
rock encountered was extremely hard.
making drilling very slow. Neverthe'
less, the average daily work accomp.
lished by each man amounts to 2.42
cubic yards of solid rock moved and
1 cubic yard of earth. and loose rock
moved. AS the lowest bid received for
moving the rock was $3.50 per cubic
yard and for loose rock and earth 40
cents. the average daily work OF a
convict was valued at $4.03. The
camp established for the care of the
prisoners consisted of a stockade. 80

not because of IN irresistible popular |
sentiment for good roads, but because
of the recent overthrowing OF the |
