Honor System for Convicts
as Tried Out in Vermont
Sher treats Ills Prisoners as Personal FriendsMen Go Ont
Alone to Earn Money---No Restraint
Except Their Conscience.

The bold idea of allowing prisoners
to go outside the jail alone and work
without guards upon their honor, is in
successful operation today in Yer
mont. In 1906 the legislature provided
that all male persons imprisoned for
certain minor offenses may be re-
CURED to perform not more than ten
hours Of manual labor within or with
out the walls of said county JAIL" Az
forwards a law was passed that all per-
sons convicted of crimes for which the
is one year or less should
serve their time in these jails.
Sheriff F. FL. Tracey of Washington
county, VT, tells of his experiments as
follows:
In our jail at Montpelier the average
number of prisoners has been about
thirty five. At first no one was willing
employ them. The first trial was made
to use small gang to cut bushes and
do other work on property owned by
the sheriff. Those whose term Of SEN
tence was shortest were employed and
the state was given so cents per day
for their labor. The trial had poor
success. The men had no interest in
their work and hardly earned the
small sum allowed the commonwealth.
Afterward a small number were en-
ployed on the water system Of the city
at one dollar per which was turned
over TO the state for the law provides
that "the proceeds Of such labor If anys
shall be applied In payment of mate

Since 1906 the proceeds turned into
the state treasury from washington
county for prison labor have exceed
ed the combined total Of the other thir-
teen counties. The sum paid to the
state from this county has increased
five fold within three years.
The real benefit has come from the
fact that men have had a chance to
help themselves and their families. AS
a rule they save their money to help
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.
The policy OF trusting the men has
won their confidence for they do not
feel that we are eager to show our au-
thority by ferreting out the least in
fraction of prison discipline. Our eff
forts to make their Imprisonment a lit
tie less hard are appreciated We
learn some of the causes which led to
their confinement. In many instances
by inspiring confidence in discouraged
men we have helped them to turn over
new leaf.

| Governor Burkes administration. 1909
and 1910, $3.50, ,762, or so per cent,
and that the specific tax levied for

same periods $4S7,651, or "a per cent,
and this after the state board of equal
/ ization at it's last meeting cut off
! eight-tenths of a mill for this purpose,
which was equal to $222,S75. The spe-
cific tax levied for all purposes, includ-
ing the general fund has increased
$7l2.424, or 36 per cent.
Greatly Increased income.
In conclusion we wish to impress
upon the tax payers and voters that,
on account of the unprecedented and
tremendous gain in the assessed valu-
alton of the year 1909 over that of 1908,
being $49,632,968, which provided an
increased income for the general fund
of $1Ss,6O5 and $6O,4s7 for all other
purposes. or total increase of $258,092
for all purposes, the real cause is seen
for the reduction of the tax levy eight
tenths of mill, or, in actual amount,
S222,S75 for the year 1910 by the state
board OF equalization.
In connection with this matter it will
not be out of place to state for the fur
ther information Of the public that the
miscellaneous fees collected and cred
tied to the general fund have continued
to increase also during each succeeding
biennial period
The Fargo News, in attempting to
give credit to Governor Burke for the
reduction of the tax levy this year on
the ground of economical administra-
ton" was both cunning and deceptive
when in justification of it's statements
it simply published the rate of tax levy
in mills for the several years last past
also publishing the assessed |
of the state each year. The |
rate of taxation is meaningless unless
taken in consideration with the assess |
ed valuation.
The state has continued from year to |
year to prosper and to grow both in |
population and wealth, and each year |
has been added to the assessment rolls |
more lands, more personal property |
more structures, more miles of railroad, |
telegraph and telephone lines and has |
seen all property enhance in value ma
terially on account of natural condi- 4
tons until 1909, which capped the cll- |
max in increase of values, and on this |
account, and this only, was the state |
board of equalization enabled to make |
the reduced levy this year, and the |
organs cannot throw dust |
