USING CONv|CTS
ON HIGH WAYS
Many States Have Abolished
Contract System of Work
ing the Prisoners
WORK CONvICTS ON ROADS
Kentucky Could Possibly Save From
Twenty to Thirty Per Cent Of the
Money Expended For Road Work on
the Public Highways Says Commits
sloner Terrell.

Frankfort, Ky.-(SpeciaD-R. C..
Terrell, Commissioner of Roads, when
asked for his views regarding the en-
ployment of convicts on the roads of
the state, granted the following inter-
view on this subject:
I'm recent years the convict labor
problem has been one that has been
given a great deal Of attention, and
prison reforms have brought about a
study of conditions as they exist, with
a view of how they could be bettered,
and as result, most OF the States
have abolished the contract system Of
working the prisoners and have estab-
lished the more modern system of
using the convicts on the public high
ways, and In the prisons for the pur-
pose of preparing materials for the
highways, and on other public works
in the various States Reports from
various Highway Departments over
the United States show conclusively
that convict labor can be used to an
advantage in road building and at a
saving Of both to the county and State
in the cost of labor for this class OF
work.
IN the biennial report of Mr.. T. F.
lyman, Warden of the State Peniten.
tiary of Colorado for the year 1912. II
is shown that there was built one hun.
dred and fifty-seven miles of road
through the mountain sections of that
State, at saving, according to his es
innate, of 1929, ,479,56; that the average
cost per day per man for the laborers
engaged In this class of work was 32c
He further states that the convicts
were able to do the work of not only
ordinary laborers, but some were
found able to perform the services re
quired of experienced men in drilling
blasting, laying masonry, blacksmith
ing. and other skilled labor. With
such labor commanding a salary OF
from 50 to So Fer day, this without a
doubt, shows that convict labor car
be used to advantage on heavy con
struction work, and in places where
more or less permanent camps car
be maintained.
Virginia also has succeeded in this
undertaking, as is shown by the re
suits. For the past nine years con
victs have been used on the public
highways of this State, and Mr., P. st
]. Wilson, former State Highway Com
missioner, and now the Assistant Dl
rector In the United States ofllce o.
Public Roads at Washington, d. c.
stated that more than 1900 men were
used on the public highways of Vir
ginla in the year 1913; that from fort!
to seventy.five were grouped together
| in a single camp-separate camps be
ing maintained in each county-ant
that the cost of clothing and feeding
them, and general maintenance Of thu
men was 52c per day for period o
three years; that the men were no
specially selected, but that the roat
forces were made up OF prisoners n
they were presented at the prisons
that men who were physically weak
or even cripples, were often sent on
as part of the road force. He furthe
states that the contractors who con
tracted for the work had very fire
Quently offered 81 per day for mel
furnished by the State.

THE NEEDS OF OUR TOWN
(Contributed.)

The city is the Gibralter of civili-
zation. 1t is a mixture of the best
and the worst things in the world.
1t is the greatest success and the
greatest failure. 1t is a great battle
ground bteween the good and the bad,
between light and darkness, ignor-
ancd and wisdom, cleanliness ana
dirt. righteousness and crime.
About its three great functions of
production, distribution and personal
service are gathered most of the ac-
tivities OF modern society. About the
first gather the farmers, the carpen-
ters, the masons, the painters, ma
chinists: factory men and day labor
ers. About the second to gather t,,e
merchants, railway men, street car
men, livery men, post nlEn and ex-
press men. About the function of
personal service gather the teachers.
preachers, doctors, lawyers, dentists,
policemen, fremen, undcrtakcrs,
grave diggers and many others.
Among all these gather the gamblers,
the derelicts, the harlots and the par
asites who suck living ,sHom tho
life blood of the city and IpSs1rfr rs :
it nothing but destruction and death.
The chief difference between the
city and town is one of size. The
problems and needs are the same in
the town except they are not so
great.
The town is more important than
any private enterprise in it. If the
town does not succeed the people who
live in it cannot succeed as they
ought.
What every town needs is a greater
spirit of cooperation, more people
who will unite to make their town
success. Every town needs leaders.
If the people of vision and aggressive
spirit could see this and would throw
aside their timidity, load up with
patience and go to work to develop
the latent powers of leadership with
in them they would do a great thing
for their town and would get a
greater benefit to themselves.
| There is coming to our town a
Booster Chautauqua that affords I,
fine opportunity for the people of our
town to get together and demonstrate
that they can unite on work OF
community uplift; and if the stronger
men of our town, and the men and
women who are now occupying po-
sitions of leadership in smaller
groups, such as schools, churches and
lodges will arise and unite with our
strong and capable business men ani
professional men to make this festi.
val the success it ought to be, it will
'ancc our town more in three day
than it will be advanced in three
years without such an effort.
Let us awake, unite and do this
very thing and by doing it learn how
10 do it no;ter in the years that are
| IC come.
There is ru.hing that will pay MS
so we'll as getting together and work.
ing together for higher and better
things.
