HELP FoR THE FARMERS.

For two years We have often been
unable to furnish the men needed by
farmers. contractors. and for common
lnbor, often we have had % men work
ing at pcrhnps 20 different places.
Prison Officials sometimes allow groups
of corvicts to work without guards
but the fact that others arc present
acts to deter any that might think Of
escaping. Very many Of our men work
absolutely by themselves. They have
ALWAYS worn plain clothing with MOTH

Circus Tickets for Prisoners
Honor System For Convicts as Tried in Vermont
Sheriff Treats His Charges as Personal Friends
Men Go Out Alone to Earn Money.


The bold idea Of allowing prisoners
to go outside the Jail alone and work
without guards upon their honor. tx in
successful operation today in Yer
mont. In 1906 the legislature provided
that all male persons imprisoned for
certain minor offcnses may be re-
uuircd to perform not more than 10
hours of manual labor within or with
ont the walls of said county 1ali
Afterwards a law was passed that all
persons convicted of crimes for which
the Imprisonment is one year or less
should serve their time in these Jails
In our jail at Montpelier the average
number OF prisoners has been about 80.
At first no one was willing to employ
them. The first trial made was to use
IL small gang to cut bushes ana DO
other work on property owned pS inc
sheriff. Those whose term of sentence
was shortest were employed and the
state was given 30 cents per day Tor
their labor The trial had poor sue
crss. The men had no interest in their
work and hardly earned the small sum
allowed the commonwealth.

Since 1906 the proceeds turned into the
state treasury from Washington county
for prison labor have exceeded the
combined total Of the other 10 counties.
The sum paid to the state from this
county has increased five fold within
three years.
The real benefit has come from tho
lhct that men have had n chance to helm
themselves and their families AS IL
RUE they save their money to hclp
those dependent upon them at home.
In this way the force OF the misfortune
has been somewhat tempered to their
families which have been enabled to
buy food and clothing.

There WAS no work that day for eleven

prizes out of every ten offered in each

in which we may indulge during the
next twelvemOnth, at least.
And it must be remembered. too.
that the Omaha trophies were won
by sections in which so-called dry
farming is the only method of crop
production. While it is hardly prob
able that they could have done any
better-it would have been one por-
ton Of the state competing against
another, and that would have meant
no advantage not already won by the
remarkable success at the Missouri
River show.
The corn exposition at Omaha is 4
pretty big affair-bigger even than
the dry farming cong ress, Il session of
which was held in Billings, and ex-
hibits were entered from all the states
in what is called the western zone.
Montana might easily have made a
better showing. but the displays were
sufficient to capture about all the
prizes worth while so there is no
room for regret.
Frankly, don't you think Montana
may be excused for boasting OF such
unrivaled advantages?

THE BUDGET SYSTEM.

Following Senator Aldrich's state
ment that there was a waste OF $780,
Ooo. 900 annually in the governments
expenditures, and that he could un-
Aertake to save three times that sum
if given the opportunity. President
Taft took up the same question III his
speech in Newark. AS a step toward
reducing wastefulness and eNtrava-
pance he advocated the budget system
in vogue in every other civilized co"n-
try. by which the revenues ana eN-
penditures of the government are
carefully considered as joint prop
osition by some one authority. ~
Washington, as he pointed out, the
house committee on ways and means
amt the senate committee on finance
are concerned in the raising OF rev.
pnue. But when it comes to eNpendl-
lures there is haphaZard distribu-
ton by the various appropriation
committees, as often as not without
any regard for the revenue available.
That confusion and disaster have not
resulted have been due to the happy
circumstance that the revenues
showed surplus over the estimates,
and even this year, when there was
fear of deficit, the new tariff bill
has come to the rescue OF this bum
dering method OF providing more
revenue than had been thought pos
sible. The secretary of the treasury
now examines the estimates OF the
departments and compares them with
the probable revenue, recommending,
when necessary, legislation to raise
additional funds, but his calculations
are AS likely as not to be upset by
congress. With IA budget committee
exercising general supervision over
the government finances much
needed control would be supplied.
In the course OF his address the
president reiterated his opinion that
the cost Of the Panama canal should
be borne as largely as possible by
posterity, and advocate bonds for this
and also, if current revenues were in
sufficient. for inland waterway i'm
provements like the Ohio project,
when fully justified by experts and
definitely entered upon by congress.
He again emphasized his belief that
such improvements should be pressed
fortward "as on. job, not by fits and
starts" Il conclusion that the house
is now committed to and should be as
heartily approved by the senate.
