USE THE PRISON LABOR
For the Purpose of Building Real
Roads in Iowa.

There are many good roads enthus.
lasts in Iowa who believe that almost
all of the state prisoners should be-
employed building roads in Iowa, orr
making the material therefor. The
state could supply the gravel or the
crushed rock and could build, own
and operate it's own cement plant.
They believe that the railroad com
panies would cooperate and that the
different counties and communities
would etend some help and that ul,
timately the state would get good
roads without Imposing heavy bur
dcns upon any one.
All sorts of plans and projects are
being urged Thus DR.. G. H. Sum-
ner secretary Of the state board OF
health, has taken up with the state
board Of control the system followed
by the state of North Carolina in
building highways with convict labor.
The state board of control is serious
ly considering adopting some similar
plan here in Iowa.
Now that the system of contract
labor has been done away with at the
Iowa prisons it Is a problem to find
profitable employment for the con-
yicts. In the opinion of DR.. Sumner
the work of building highways is an
ideal Solution to the problem of de-
veloping Iowa roads and it will also
furnish profitable employment for the
prisoners.
I The automobile. tax which each
county. receives, could be used to re-
imburse the state for the work of the
convicts and to pay the cost of the
work in these counties, explained Or.
Sumner. "At the same time 1t is a
/ healthful occupation for the men and
we will be doing much needed
/ work, that OF improving our high
ways
The North Carolina Plan.
North Carolina has worked out
quite thoroughly this plan of using
prisoners in building roads. The
prisoners live in camps. Portable
houses have been devised and the
Camp moves forward from one
stretch of road to the other as the
work progresses. p,
In discussing the question of the
relation of the state to the convict
the North Carolina authorities dc
clare that the state must assume thu
responsibility of looking after thu
moral and physical welfare OF he
prisoners. Among the facts whicl
must be taken into consideration b,
the state in its treatment of prisoner
the North Carolina authorities cit
tn following: ..... ~.

JENKINS SHOWS
EFFECT OF Law
ON FARM HANDS
Employer of Casual Labor Is
Required to Keep Record
of and Make Report on Ac-
cidents.

Operations of the new workme en- s
compensation law as it applies to far
mers. employers of domestic servants
and casual labor is explained by At
wood Jenkins, well-known insurance
man, as follows:
In so far as the payment of COM
pensation is concerned, it is elective,
as you will note, by Section Of the
law, which reads as follows: This act
except Section 81 shall not apply to
casual laborers, to farm or agricul
tural laborers and to domestic SER
wants, nor to employers of such per-
sons; unless such employees and their
employers voluntarily elect in the
manner hereinafter specified to be
bound by this act
You will note from the wording of
this section, however, that it does not
relieve such employers from the re-
quirements as set out in Section 81,
which provides as follows:
Every employer shall hereafter
keep record of all injuries. fatal or
otherwise, received by his employees
in the course of their employment.
Within one week after the occurrence
and knowledge thereof. as provided
in section %, of an injury to an en-
ployee causing his absence from work
for more than one day, a report there
of shall be made in writing and mail
ed to the Industrial Board on blanks
to be procured from the Board for
the purpose.
Upon the termination of the disa-
bility of the injured employe, or if
the disability extends beyond period
of 60 days, then also at the expiration
of such period the employer shall
make supplementary report to the
Board on blanks to be procured from
the Board for the purpose.
ANY employer who refuses or neg
lects to make the report required by
this section shall be liable for a pen
atty of not more than twenty-five dol
lars for each refusal or neglect, to be
recoverable in any court of competent
jurisdiction in suit by the Board"
