WORKING
PRISONERS ON
STATE ROADS
PRACTICE HAS PROVEN SUCCESS
Full WHEREVER TRIED - OKLA
ROMA is ADOPTING POLICY -
WILL BENEFIT WHOLE STATE.

Since the practice Of employing
prisoners on highways was adopted
in Arizona, over three years ago,
the advantages of the system have
become increasingly apparent" states
Governor George w. p. Hunt in let
ter to the National Committee on
Prisons and Prison Labor. Continu'
ing, the governor says:
AT present more than half of Ari-
zona's prisoners are employed in
highway and bridge construction
camps. In addition to the fact that
the utilization Of prison labor in this
way affords healthful employment for
the men and encourages the upbuild-
ing of character, it has been found
that road and bridge construction ac-
complished under this plan is more
thorough than that which can be OBJ
tanned with day labor, chiefly for the
reasons that the prisoners are kept
constantly at one branch Of work and
become proficient therein, whereas
day labor proves to be more or less
transient.
"The cost of prison road construc-
ton. as compared with that perform
cd under contract, does not vary ma
terialy, except in the quality Of the
work done. The preceding statement,
however does not apply to those road
and bridge camps where honor men
without guards are employed. In such
camps the expense is so materially
reduced as to constitute in itself, an
additional endorsement Of prison la
Dor.
"The plan Of employing prisoners
on highways, generally speaking, has
worked out admirably in Arizona and
now receives the hearty endorsement
OF those officials under whose imme-
diate supervision the roads and
bridges are built It has proved to
be both humane and practical

OPINIONS OF LABOR

That labor in England and labor in
America holds similar opinions is
demonstrated in the resolutions pass
ed by the Federation Of Labor in the
state Of Tennessee. The Boy Scout
movement has been condemned be-
cause Of its tendency toward miiitar-
ism. Labor is so thoroughly opposed
TO every movement which tends to-
ward the training Of the young for
battle. That same sentiment would
lead the laboring element to oppose
enlistment in the army and conscrip-
tion would be fought as hard in this
country as it is now being fought
in England.
The seed Of opposition 10 war has
been planted among the men who
must occupy the trenches in time o;

fruit in outspoken opposition to hos
tiliues and in opposition to any law
that forces men TO bare their bosems

ships OF campaigns England cannot
be made a military country, and the

successful, says the Mt. Gilead Reg
