BUILD ROADS IN MOUNTAINS
California Highway Commissioner
Points Way for Opening Of Arabic
Lands-convicts to Be Used.

IF you will give us the convicts to
build roads through the mountains
there are 100000 acres of arabic land
on the eastern plateau of the Sierras
that can be opened for settlement"
said Charles +. Stern, highway COM
missioner OF California. in supporting
the bill which passed the California
legislature to permit prisoners to be
employed in road building.
California prisoners have not been
employed in this work other than in
a small way around the prison, but
the need Of opening the mountain dis
tricts has started road building by
the prisoners.
The act Just passed is modelled after
Colorado legislation, under which ex-
cellent results have been obtained.
The highway department is authorized
to make requisition upon the prison
department for the number of convicts
required, and is to organize and main
tain the camps as well as supervise
the road work. The prison depart
ment, however, retains control over
the discipline Of the prisoners, and, al
though the national committee on
prisons and prison labor believes bet
ter results can be had under the West
Virginia system, where the prison de-
partment maintains the camps, both
the convicts and the state Of Cali
fornia will assuredly benefit under the
new legislation.
The men are to be worked under the
honor system, and the prison depart |
ment is empowered to grant additional |
good time allowance to convicts en-
ployed in this work. conditioned upon |
their loyal, obedient and efficient CO.
operation with the state.
To bring about the earlier compile |
ton Of the state highways which will |
make the isolated regions accessible,
the bill went into effect ninety days |
after the adjournment of the legis-
lature.
Reporting the successful passage of |
the act to the national committee on |
prisons and prison labor, Mr.. Stern |
writes: I'VE expect to use from
1000 to 1900 convicts on our noun.
