Benefit Or Prison Merit
System.

Jefferson City Mo-, February 49,
The State Prison Board paid to con-
victs in the Missouri penltentiary for
the month Of January@S11176, which re-
presented 3 per cent CT their earn
ings for the state for that month.
This money was paid to the priso-
nerS in addition to- the amount that
many of them carried for overtime
that is, work which, they performed
il excess of their a1lotred tasks =,
The amount ofsoyertime money could.
not be determined today, since that
account is kept in the books of Su-
perintendent of State Industries Les:
. Ter s. Parker and comes out of the
Industrial funds:of the institution. :.
The S11z6 was paid under the
workings of the, merit system which
vas inaugurated by the Prison Board
and became effective November 1st,
1917. 1t was taken from the support
fund. .s
The Legislature in 1907 enacted a
law providing that per cent of the
earnings of the convicts be paid to
them, but 10 appropriation was ever
ever made by the. Legislature SO it
could be paid. no. appropriation was
made by the last Legislature, but
the State PrisopBoard decided to
make substantial compliance with the
statute through the merit system.
The policy Of paging the prisoners
part of their earnings was. adopted

i !. Kelly Pool, member of the board,
said 1890 convicts will be promoted to
class i. Prisoners in that class, the

Twelve hundred convicts were 100

January. The average efficiency was
20 PSF cent. The 1900 promoted to
/ Class B averaged s. per cent.
The state owes TO convicts now in
