FOR CONSIDERATION
OF AUGUSTA VOTERS

The Democratic leaders have de-
! nounced the purchase of the fire truck
This auto truck adds to the efficiency
of the department; it furnishes pro-
lection to the property of the farmer:
it is in line with the fight that the
present administration has made for
lower insurance rates; it has long been
badly needed.
The last Democratic administration
borrowed $12,500 and did not charge
this amount to temporary loans. The
Viles administration has paid this Leg
acy this year.
The Newbeft administration still
owes the city of Augusta s140619S in
uncollected taxes. Think, Mr. Voter,
what a loss this means to the city. 1t
is needless; 1t is slack business; it is a
black spot for Democracy, and a loose
negligent piece of mismanagement.

The purchase Of truck for the
Highway Department which was abso-
lutely necessary because of the des-
truction caused by the rains Of the |
season.
The late heavy SHOWS of last winter
created an unusual expense. These
storms cost the city $7,19673 as
against an expense of $2,713.75 for the
year previous, a difference of $4,482.98.

CRIMINALS AND WIVES.

A recent North Carolina muir.
der trial is notable in two re.
spects.
}. w. Slaughter of Draper was
convicted of the murder Of man
named Weaver. The verdict Cur
RED a sentence of two years in
prison. This may seem like an
inadequate sentence. But ignor
ing any such consideration. we
find that the jury stipulated that
Slaughter should pay $500 to the
wife of his victim, and also grant
ed the county commissioners au
thorltv to hire out the prisoner
for labor.
It's something new in American
criminology to make the criminal
compensate the person who has
suffered most from his crime.
And yet what a perfectly logical
and sensible thing to do! Why
should not the state. instead Of
contenting itself with inhicting
punishment on the criminal HIM
self, compel him to make restitu-
ton to the extent of his ability Z?
And since. when one man kills
another the chief sufferer is the
victims wife or family, why not
apply this principle to the wife s
relief?
The second significant thing
about this case is the disposition
OF the criminals service. The
hiring out Of convicts to private
employers in general has been
abandoned. and is not to be de-
Tended. But in this instance the
cOnvict's own wife put in bid
for her husbands services, and
her bid is likely to be accepted.
Some critics may find in this a
subterfuge to defeat the law. The
point, however, is that-that if
the prisoner is going to be hired
out at all, it is better that h.
should be working not for mere
exploiter but for the one person
who has most need of his earning
power and who by ordinary
American procedure would be
left without support until her
husbands release. It is merely
a variation Of the new idea that a
convict, with a family should be
paid wages for his work while in
prison, and those wages given to
the family.
Thus two innocent women, the
wife of the offender and the wife
of the victim are saved from much
of the unjust penalty usually I'm
posed on women 'bv men s crimes.
