System Shows Saving.

In his biennial report Mr.. lyman says
157 miles Of highways were constructed at
estimated saving of s.,23, 1896 to the
counties in which the roads We're built.
The average cost to the counties 81
cents per man per day. The total cost
for the tWo-year period SIG, 20 II.
To this was added S1DOSO as the cost of
feed for teams, making the total labor
cost $46Si5.44 an average OF s23s. IL per
mile of road MI lyman declares the
cost of building roads with convict labor
is only ~ per cent of that of free labor,

Conditions quite different in New
Jersey. There are in that camp thirty
eight men. including five guards. three

who are on regular camp duty. In addi-
ton, two more are deducted from the list
of those who perform productive labor be-
ca use of extra camp duty. occasional i'll

the thirty-eight only twent y-three are
looked upon as productive laborerS. The
cost OF maintaining the camp is ST. 30

Stevens, highway commissioner OF New
Jersey. figures the value OF the labor at

mately 500 per month. He is said to he

CONVICT LABOR WAGE
NOW ON THE INCREASE
Formerly Valued at 80 Cents
a 0ay-May Go to
$3.50 a Day.

Two dollars d day is the price now paid
for the labor of convicts, and indications
are that their wages will soon be in
creased to $50. And not long ago the
labor OF these same prisoners was valued
at between 90 and 50 cents Il day. Such
is the difference between the old system
of leasing convicts to contractors and
the new method of using the men In the
construction and repair of highways
These facts were contained In a report
OF prison labor conditions III Iowa made
by George W. Cosson, attorney general
of that state. to DR.. Z. Stage Within

the national committee on prison labor
and assistant In social legislation in Co

HORSEPOWER TAXATION VOID
Mississippi Judge Renders Impor-
tant Automobile Decision.

! \ Judge in Mississippi mas declared that
the taxation of motor cars according to
horsepower is unconstitutional. Upon an
agreed statement of facts q case was
brought into court and tried TO test the
constituuonality of the act recently. The
. case was tested by the motorists in the
southern state.
| The act was held void. and the court
said in part:
nder its police power the state has
the undoubted right to regulate the use
OF It's highways, included in which is the
right To compei The registration and num-
boring of automobiles before they are
