MIGHT PAY STATE DEBT.

In special from the State cap
itoI to the New Orleans Picayune
suggestion is made that the surplus
Caddo levee board funds. due to
the enormous royalties from wells
on levee board lands, be used in
ext ermlnating the State debt. The
special, which states that the Cad
do board received between 800
900 aud $50, 1000 monthly, almost
81 900 day from these wells,
says:
The great wealth accrrling. to
the Caddo levee board from the
vast resources OF oils and Mineral
in the Caddo oil fields is the sub
lect of much discussion ia Baton

bring $40, 900 10 SO ,O0O per month

and where to put it to the best
advantage, is n matter OF sone
discussion. An idea Of approp-
rating this money to the credit Of

some. but the mode in which this
will be done is not known, nor

of the charges made by the VA

the following bulletin issued to-

/ From several Investigations that
have been made. It IS estimated

consideration, the number would
| be much larger Some of the pris-
ons Of Pennsylvania, Kansas and
ONO show such shocking condi-
tlons with reference to tubereu-
IoslS that many wardens admit
that these places Of detention are
deathtraps. Similar conditions
could be found in almost every
state, and III the majority of cas-
es the only sure remedy is the des-
tructi n of the old buildings and
the erection Of new ones.
Only tWenty-one prisons i'll tFf-
teen states and territories have
provided special places fol the
treatment nf their tuberculosis
prisoners These institutions can
accommodate, however. only 500
patents In three-fourths Of the
major prls rs and in practically
all the Jai,s Of the country the tub
erculosis prisoner is allowed free
ly to infect his fellow prisoners,
very few restrictions heiug placed
upon his habits. When the con
gregate mode Of prison life is con
sidered, the danger of infection
becomes greater than ia the gen
eral population, New York and
Massachusetts are the only states
where any systematic attempt has
been made to transfer ell tuhercu-
lous prisoners to one central insti-
tuition. The largest prison tuber-
culosis hospital is in Manila. where
accommodations for 200 prisoners
are provided. The next largest
is Clinton Prison Hospital in New
York, which provides for lao,
The fact that 100000 prisoners
are discharged from the jals and |
prisons of the country annually. |
and that from ten to fifteen per |
cent Of them have tuberculosis,
makes the problem Of providing
special places for their treatment
while they are confined a serious
one. So important is tho problem
that the Prison Association of New
York ln cooperation with the State
Charities Aid Association, is pre-
pairing to inagurate Il special cam
paign for the prevention of tuber-
culosis in the penal institutions Of
the state, and will seek to enlist
