The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1915-05-27

Always told you Woodrow wilson
was a pretty smart fellow, and II
proof were lacking we might cite
the fact that he wrote two letters on
the subject of Statewide prohibi-
ton, without getting in bad WIN
either side. 1t is claimed the let
ters are not inconsistent; yet the ad-
yocates of Statewide prohibition use
one of the letters to show that VIII
son favors that policy, and the op-
ponents use the other to prove tha'
he is against it. An ordinary smart
man would have written nothing a.
all; but it requires an extraordinar!
degree of smartness to write 1--WE
letters on such subject and ge
away with it.

30 States Now
Employ Convicts
On Their Roads

Thirty states at the beginning OF
the present year had on their statute
books laws providing for the employ
ment of state prisoners in road build
ing.
Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Louisi-
! ana, Maryland, Montana, Nevada
i New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio. Ore
i son. Virginia and Washington fol-
low practically the same system
providing that the control of TINS
work shall be vested in the state
highway commission. The highway
commission or state engineer makes
reouisition to the state prison
authorities for such number of pris-
oners as he can use effectively and
the prison authorities turn over TO
| him such prisoners as are suitable
s for the road work.
&, The prison commission or board OF
n control of state institutions is held
d responsible for the development OF
/. the convict road work in some nine
t states: Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kan
It sas. Missouri, Michigan, North Da
kota. Oklahoma and Wisconsin.
= State prisoners are turned over u
g the county authorities to be WORKED
ir on the county roads in Florida
l. Georgia, and North and South caro-
r lima. This system is not approves
ID by the National Committee on Pris
IL ons and Prison Labor, which hold
SIS that the state under no circum
n, stances is justified in delegating tn
IN responsibility for it's convict waro
an to county authorities.
n The system in New York state
also far from satisfactory, as II
vides the responsibility for the col
struction work and maintenance
the camps between the State mig
y way department and the comm
sioners of the counties in which Il
~ roads are to be built, with the sta
suerintendent of prisons in mn
authority.
In Utah, West VIRGINIA and Wyol
ing the highway department and
nrison department cooperate IN I
~ control of this work. The prison
