tending the national conference OF
charities and corrections at Seattle
While there he also visited the oregon
state prison which has been much ad-
vertised as the place where the honor
system has been adopted with great
results and where the working OF men
on the roads has been carried on un-
der best conditions.
When l was there they had just
thirty seven convicts at work on the
highways Of the state" said MIR. Dixon.
They said that a short time ago they
had a few more at work, but that tho
number now is about an average.
A conference Is to be held today be-
tween Warden Sanders, the board OF
control. the attorney general and the
state highway commission to agree on
conditions under which some of the
Iowa convicts may be farmed out for
highway work in the state. Up to the
present time it hasn't been necessary
10 frame up any rules of that KIND.
But under the new state Law which
looks TO the ultimate abandonment OF
contract labor system as rapidly as II
can be done the convicts will be used
for highway work. First cequisition
for conyicts is for a dozen TO be used
at Ames.
The number Of convicts out on high
way work in Oregon is not as large as
the number Warden Sanders has been
using in the hayfields recently. The
honor system works all right In Iowa
Ios MI
of the board have no doubt that road
camps can be established without fear
of men running away.
Governor Clarke never at any time
made any engagements to speak, WINE
governor, at Chautauqua assem- oles
for pay.
The story has been printed that ne
would piece out his salary by chau-
,auaua work. He has never al any
time contemplated any such proceeo
Ing. Before his recent illness he nae
planned to deliver a few addresses IN
each and every case without compen-
sation. but nc. &c GO on the chautau-
qua platform or place himself at the
disposal of any bureau.
since his illness he has. OF course
given up all thought of making any
addresses until he has fully recovered.
