SOL0NS AT WORK
The GOVERNORS SUGGESTION
ON CONVICT LABOR FAY
VIEWED FAVORABLY
PRIMARIES And ELECTION
6tGclow's Bill Combines Primary and
Election, Holding Both at the
Same Time, Changing
Form of Ballot

That the present session OF the
legislature will give serious con id r
alton to the question of paying cen.
victs for their labor, is certain. Coy
ernor Vessey's suggestions a.ong that
line have been commented upon very
favorably, and it is probable tia tn
Board of Charlie and Corrections
viii be autho lied to carry them out.
There are TWO vital reasons fot tue
necessity for such legislation. The
1rst is that conVIct5 are frequently
released from the peEitent.any, pac.
t~ically penniless. They not only can
not rea h their homes without state
aid, but are at a decided disadvantage
I'm starting out to cam an honest liv-
ing. The second reason is F}o ally
more tOrCeful as il concerns the Fam
flies Of the prisoners. 1t Is seldom
that the criminal suffers alone TO-
his misdemeanor. The wife and ch4l-
dren are often left proVelty str.caen
ana without means Of sup. ort when
the husband and father is taken t ON
ghem. If the prisoner is allowed to
work and is earn n money. a Dorti N
of his earnings could be very easily
appropriated to assist his needy ami
