Convict Labor.

The Good Roads Yearbook for
1913 contains a summary of the
experience of those states which
have employed convict labor in
road. construction or improve
ment. The main features of the
inquiry made by the National
Highway Association of state
officials are (1) the effectiveness
OF convict labor as compared
with free and paid labor: ~
the effect of road work on the
health and character of the con-
victs; (3) the cost of convict
labor, including guarding, feed
ing, housing, supervision, etc.
The answers are interesting
The effectiveness of convict labor
is generally reported as less than
that OF free labor, usually 60 to
gu Per cent. Several reports saws
that convict labor is as efficient
as free labor; and the Montana
warden reports that his convicts
90 more work than free laborers
All reports agree on one point
the great improvement in the
health and character of the con.
vlcts when taken from the
penitentiaries or jails and work.
ed on the roads.h In Kansas the
effect OF the convict labor on the
community is mentioned also
and the reports are all favorable
the convicts having behaved
well and earned the respect of
the people. VI
The cost is usually considered
the vital point in the employ-
ment of convict labor on roads
Some sweet day we shall become
sufficiently enlightened to FORGET
the cost and consider the physical
and moral welfare of the con-
Wet, the benefits to the commlln-
lty through his improved health
and better character, and the
advantages of the good roads he
builds for us. But still the cues.
ton OF cost is important. Let us
see, what the reports say. mi
Alabama convict labor costs doc
to 56c a day and when properlv
managed" is more effective than
paid labor. In Arizona convict
labor cost $1.51 per day, figuring
in this cost its efficiency as two,
thirds that of paid labor. In
Colorado the prisoners did work
worth $270, 285 in one year. and
showed a labor profit of 1928, 479
over the cost of the same amount
IF free labor. In Georgia. where
about 5, 900 convicts are at road
work, the cost is estimated at
ess than half the cost of free
labor. In Illinois convicts work

Goodbye, old friend. This is
the last issue of the old Clinch
Valley News you will see unless
you borrow from your neighbor,
or steal it. You have been with
us q long time. We have come
to love you. Often, oh so often,
we have gazed upon your name
on our card case! 1t has become
as familiar to us as an old joke,
or a thricetold tale. We have
sweat great drops of good sweat
and paid out lots of cold, honest
cash in sending you the paper.
This, we have done because we
loved you-not because of greed
of gain, for heaven knows, it
has been no gain. If there is
anything we do love to do it is
to work for nothing. Sweating,
swatting flies, furnishing our
own smoking tobacco, boarding
ourselves-all this and more we
delight to do, absolutely free. as
we have been doing for you for
years, and we are sorry we can
not continue this labor of love,
but really, we cannot, and hope
you won't think hard of us for
not CONT nuing. Our banker,
clotheir, groceryman, scotsman,
and all have to be paid cash,
and we are forced to stop. There
is a limit to everything.
Flowers have their time tc
bloom and fade. The leaves fall,
the seasons end, the bank
account dwindles, everything
ends, and so must our free sub
scription list.
So, goodbye until we meet
again. Don't cry and fret.
Leave that to the editor. May
you live long! May some other
charitable editor rise up to take
our place. We express the deem
regrets of the compositor, mail
ing clerk, local reporter "solb"
writer, editorial writer, "Devil"
and all, at this parting.
So, au revoir, which being
interpreted means, goodbye, old
sport. Very affectionately,
