CoNVICTS AND ROAD WORK

A great need of Tennessee is
improved public highways. Good
roads increase public comfort, ex-
pedite the marketing of crops, in
crease attendance at schools and
churches and add millions of dol
lars to property valuations
Many states of the Union are sue
cessfully employing the labor of
the eonvicts in building good
roads and tennessee should do
the same. Our pBesent system of
employing convicts in mining
and manufacturing has always
been the subject of legitimate
criticism because they are thus
brought in competition with local
labor. If employed in building
roads such criticism would hard
ly be offered. Although a noun
tain state, Colorado has some of
the finest macadamized roadways
in the United States. Last year
Colorado built, with convict
labor, Isl miles of road, some of
it OF very difficult construction at
an average cost to the different
counties of 81 cents per day pet
man. This labor, it is Stated in
the report of the prison commits
sioners, did not compete with
the free labor of the state for the
reason that the counties could
not otherwise have afforded to do
this work.
About 5000 convicts are being
worked on the public highways
in Georgia, the counties bearing
the cost of maintenance. The
prison Commissioner thinks the
cost is less than half that OF free
labor. The health of the prison
ers, he adds, is 100 per cent better
than it was under the old lease
system
Other states that are using
with satisfaction and profit con.
vict labor for public road con.
struction are; California, Illinois
Kansas, Minnesota, Montana,
North Carolina, Oregon and Vir.
