chsts from Wheeling who have ridden
10 that place during the summer have

sidered an outrage. as the riders have
a license tag for the city of Wheeling.
The excuse that is put up by the Dbl
lonvale authoritiesis that thew have
no state license tags. This is all true
enough. in as much as the State OF
west Virginia requires no license for
tne operation OF a motorcycle. How
ever when this is explained to the Of
ncers they put up the excuse that in
as much as the State of Ohio requires
licenses for motorcycles. they are com.
PEELED to enforce the law.
Several cases have been pointed ont
within the past few weeks where r.
Gers from this vicinity have been
pulled In and compelled TO nav a
neavy fine for what they consider no
violation OF the law. IL is a fact that
IN so FAR as the riders are concerned
tney nave committed no violation. as
they have the city license, which Is
all that Is required in this State.
however. reports have come from
good authority that persons carrying
the city license tags cannot be ar
rested for this violation unless they
nave overstayed their limit of FIVE or
SIX days. II is thought that an inves-
ugation will be started within a short
time

There are yet those autoists who

breaking an ordinance passed by the
city council. and placed in the hands
OF the police force for enforcement.
Up until the present tkme there has

the only violation.

to play favorites. yet a little help

CONVICT LABOR
Being Given Thorough Test In Work
on Roads In This state-so Far
II is Very Successful.

Success in convict road work Is re-
ported from West Virginia. This
road work has been developed as the
result OF legislation passed at the last
session OF the legislature. Prior TO
this session Governor Hatfield and
representatives OF the legislature and
supreme court journeyed TO New
York for conference with the National
Committee on Prisons and Prison
Labor.
At the conference, in which rep
resentatives OF the Department OF
Highway Engineering and the Bill
Drafting Bureau of Columbia Univers-
ity participated. a STATE road bureau
was planned TO cooperate with the
State Prison department In working
the prisoners upon the public roads
A recent report received by the Ma
tional Committee on Prisons and
Prison Labor from A. ID. Williams.
chairman Of the Road bureau. states
that to date three convict road camps
have been established. the men being
under the honor system and living in
tents. Two OF the camps are located
on stream and the men each even
ing go bathing and enjoy all the lib
critics OF camp life. Three Italians
have attempted escape. but the Amer
leans and negroes are proving them
selves worthy OF trust
At st. Mary's camp, in solid and
loose rock. the men have averaged
4.O3 cubic yards per day. At the
lnwood Camp the average was 4.33
cubic yards. which included the cree
tion OF one concrete culVert 2Ox3O
feet. % feet long, and sixteen days
labor for one man out of lis laying
thing.
A crew OF citizen labor was also
working at ST. Mary's camp on che
same work and an interesting COM
parison of costs was made: the cost
OF moving material by citizens was
SO cents per cubic yard against 80
cents with the prisoners.
These developments indicate that
through road work West Virginia
will TO great extent solve her pris-
on problem, as will any state wherein
cooperation Is secured between the
highway and the prison departments
