of the Commonwealth? The actual
cost of production, or even a reason
able per cent of profit could be
charged by the State for the material,
and at the same time very materially
reduce the cost for use in road con-
struction, and insuring to the counties
for their limestone, macadam, or 9th
er hard surfaced roads, a splendid,
long lifed surfacing material, that is
dustless, noiseless, durable and at the
same time waterproof Other camps
might be established for the purpose
of preparing limestone as stated
above, and still others for the manu-
facture of brick to be used in the sur
facing of roads, and a very efficient
organization might be had for the
placing of concrete roads as is now
being used in Illinois, Georgia, and
other States where that type of road
is being constructed.
THE men become skilled in the per-
Torrance of their duties, and this,
while preparing them for a better ex-
istence when they have completed
their term, also reduces the possibility
of breaking up the organization by
men quitting. Another important fac
tor to be considered is the reduction
of the cost, the reducing of the cost
making 1t possible for all the counties
in the state-not merely the rich coun-
ties-but practically all of them, to
construct permanent roads. When one
stops to consider that there are one
hundred and twenty counties in Ken
lucky, most of them having a road
fund ranging from $500 to $4,000, while
less than ten have a road fund of more
than $4,000, it is quite an easy matter
to understand the advantage that con-
vict labor would furnish these coun-
ties, where funds are limited, in the
securing of permanent types of road.
"The convict labor would not come
in competition with free labor, for
without it the counties would be COM
PEELED to build a cheaper type of road,
and in many instances would not be
able to build at all, while, with the
convict labor, better and more durable
types of road could be constructed, as
well as a more durable type of bridges.
Even in the fabrication of steel mate
rial for the longer span bridges these
could be obtained at a much cheaper
figure, with the convict labor, than
they could be done by contract

the counties and to the state, one
should not overlook the big advantage

out-of-door labor-bettering him, men.
tally, morally and physically-a much
more healthy occupation than that
which he would find inside the prison
walls

BUILDING GOOD ROADS

More than so counties in Ken
lucky are actually at work building
roads under state supervision and
with state aid. Twenty other coun-
ties have asked for and been grant
ed such aid and are now preparing
to begin work. The statewide road
building movement is on in earnest,
and it is here to stay.
At the two penitentiaries at
Frankfort and Eddyville, there are
1900 men convicts A large pro-
portion of that number are ply
sically capable of working on the
roads. Instead of being so worked,
they are let out to prison con-
tractors at an annual loss to the
state.
At the coming election, a consti-
tutional amendment to work the con-
victs on the roads is to be voted on.
1t has been twice submitted by the
General Assembly and once adopt
ed by the people. That adoption
was nullified by failure to adver-
tise the amendment within the pre-
scribed go days. The necessary ad-
vertising has now been done. The
whole question is in the hands of
the voters, and both political par
ties have declared for adoption
in theis state platforms.
The prison contractor is opposed
to adoption. 1t will put an end to
his profits. Organized labor is a
unit on wanting to see the amend
ment adopted. It will put an end
to convict competition with free
labor. 1t will put men at work on
the roads where there is now a
scarcity of labor.
In the state of Virginia, it was
found that convict labor effected a
saving of $1,000 mile in the cost
of building roads. In a score of
other states, where this labor is
used, it has been demonstrated that
roads can be built with contract
labor at half the cost of free labor
Convict labor on the roads has
proved good for the state and good
for the convict 1t has helped him
physically and morally. 1t has. in
many instances, restored him to
good citizenship. and a convict re-
stored to good citizenship is an
asset; a convict released to follow
life of crime is liability.
If Kentucky wants the advantages
that come from convict labor on
the roads, all that will be necessary
will be to vote Yes for the amend
ment. If Kentucky prefers to let
the prison contractor get richer at
her expense by continuing in effect
a system of slavery, the amendment
will be defeated
But the voter who goes to the
polls and fails to vote on the amend
ment will overlook an opportunity
to do his county and the state good
service.
