PUT THE CONvICTS
ON THE ROADS

As will be seen by the resolutions
adopted by the board of county COM
missioners, and published elsewhere,
the commissioners have started
movement TO have the convict lease
system entirely abolished and the
convicts put to work on the public
roads.
The Star is heartily in favor of the
movement from both economic and
humanitarian reasons. Regarding the
former, we are certain that it is TO the
interest of the taxpayers to put the
convicts on the roads. A number of
years ago all the state convicts ex-
cept the aged and crippled were leas-
ed The convict lease system had
then been reduced to as near a science
as possible. 1t had been put in such
shape that it was as much to the in
terest of the lessee to treat convicts
well as it was to the interest of a
farmer to care for his blooded stock
However, there were some abuses,
and public sentiment demanded that
the system be abolished, and convicts
put to work either on the state farm
or the roads. 1t was supposed that
this had been done, but the law has
/ been evaded or nullified. and now on
the 1400 Florida convicts a majority
are at work for private parties.
Some of our state officials and citi-
zens are afraid that it will seriously
cripple the public finances to take
these convicts away from the lessees
and put them to work on the roads
The best answer to this is that
Marion county is now paying out
over $4,000 a year to keep up its
roads. If the county had it's pro
rata of convicts, this amount could
be greatly reduced. 1t would give the
county the constant use of between
thirty and forty able-bodied men, and
what these could do under skilled
direction would vastly improve our
public highways. 1t is only fair to
suppose that the same could be said
of every county in the state, and the
amount saved to them would greatly
exceed what is now paid into the
treasury for convict hire.
Besides, we need the roads out of
all proportion to the money received.
The second reason is that there is
cause to believe convicts will be bet
ter treated by the state than by les
sees. The cost of convict is much
greater now than it was ten years
l.ago, and the temptation to overwork
and underfeed him is greater. We
hear some rather tough stories about
the treatment of convicts, and they
come frsthand, too.
Let the state assume the entire use
Of its c0nvicts, either on its farm or
its roads, see that they do good work
and are well treated, and both the
taxpayers and the convicts will be bet
ter off.

The Times Union makes strong
protest against the amount that Con-
gress has appropriated for the army.
It says the expense will amount to
about $1,000 per soldier, who really
shouldn't cost half that much If the
T.-U. viii stop to think a minute, it
will realize that the army will have
great many expenses besides feed
ing, clothing and paying the individu-
al soldier.

any of the report. We hope the edi-
