The state Of Wisconsin has an asset
In its lands, but 1t cannot sell them at

proposition Is to have the 60 per cent
OF the convicts who can be trusted away
from the prison out on those lands to

the StumpS must be brought down to
some central point near the railroad.
Those convicts who can be trusted

Advantage of Good Roads.

The enormous advantage 10 every
community has been established and is
no longer question of discussion at ALL
citizens in every state without exception
nave learned the extremely high cost of
moving products from the farm to the
market and that nine-tenths of that cost
IS IN the first few miles-that is, the
transfer over ordinary roads
The time will come when under the
experience of practical people like ours
when such thing as bad road between
important points will be unknown. The
Lincoln highway is simply the most con-
spicuous example of what a public road
can be and what II can do for the state
through which it is built Perhaps we
should add that for the greater part of
the way the Lincoln highway is to be
built of concrete on base that long ex-
pertinent has proved to be best for that
purpose"

SAYS FEDERAL OFFICE
Of PRISONS IS NEEDED
George G. Battle Heads Committee
to Urge Establishment Of
Bureau.

1--WE need federal Office of prisons,
said George Gordon Battle of the firm of
O'Gorman. Battle & Vand!ver. Mr.. Bat
tie has just accepted the Craftsmanship
o. committee composed of we'll known
people connected with the national COM
mittee on prison labor. which will in
troduce into Congress a bill for the es-
tablishment of this new bureau.
The office of prisons will parallel the
children's bureau, established in 1911.
which investigates and reports upon the
welfare of children and child-life. The
once of prisons would have wider
field, for to its powers of investigation
would be added the control over all
federal prisoners and powers OF inspec-
ton over all prisons in which they may
be confined
Federal prisoners, Mr.. Battle pointed
out, are at present under control OF the
Department of Justice final authority
resting in the Attorney General. But the
Department of the Interior has from
time to time been instructed by Congress
to assist in the selection of prison sites
and has even had control over the erec-
ton of certain prison buildings. The es-
tablishment of the office of prisons would
center this control and definitely fix re-
sponsibility
Bureau for Penal Authorities.
The Office would also act bureau
to afford to local penal authorities the
results of the best scientific research
along penal and coordinate lines. Be
ing under the Department of the Inte-
rior, it would be possible to draw into the
movement for prison reform the other
agencies under the department The
Department of Agriculture could afford
aid in the development q nenal farm
| colonies: Its Office Of public roads could
assist in making successful the endeavor
of many states to employ their convicts
on the highways: and opportunities for
the convict could be found in the great
public works undertaken directly by the
Department of the Interior.
