BILL ID ABOLISH
 . THE CONVICT LEASE SYSTEM DISCUSSED
Orr Outlines to Civic AssO- citation Committee Meas ure for Working Con-
 victs on State Roads

At a meeting of the Civic associa- ton committee to abolish the convict lease system of Alabama held yester- day with Representative Orr of Mar shall county, a member of the state legislative committee on convicts and highways, substantial provision of bill to abolish the lease system ana place the able bodied convicts upon the state trunk highways were agreed upon and resolutions adopted to press without delay fox the enactment or the bill The proposed draft will be com pleted before the end of. the week by the committee in cooperation with MT. Orr. the author of the measure. MT Orr, in framing the provisions of the law. has brought to the task his oo, servation of the Georgia system and the careful study of the condition of convicts as they are now operated in mines. sawmiils and turpentie camps of Alabama.
 MT. Orr and the Civic association committee, composed of Captain Frank s. White, ST, chairman; Dr. W. A. Burns, F. Nj. Jackson, James Weath- erly and John W. Sibley, have agreed that the act to abolish the lease sys- tenn must provide for the complete transfer of all convicts from the hands of lesses on or before January l, i92S' In their opinion the change from the lease system to the operation on state highways should be gradual, so as to result in as little dislocation as pos sib1e of the flow of revenue to the state
 PAY FOR CONVICT WORK
 Under the proposed legislation the state highway commission would pro-
 Al.A fNt dsa. partment the fair value of the labor performed by such convicts as are requisitioned by the highway commits sion for work on the roads. Payment will be made from either the proceeds of the proposed state road bond is- sue of $25.000.000 or the automobile license fund, which is to be augmented by a 50 per cent increase and is to be placed at the disposal of the state highway commission for road coii- struction.
 Provisions are to be carefully drawn to insure against abuse or mistreat- ment of convicts and the convict de- partment, under the proposed bill, IS , to continue it's functions in all re- spects as they are now being exercised, such as providing food. clothing, shel- ter, etc, building and eouipping con vict road camps and other appurten- ances necessary to carry on construc tion work on the highways.
 The committee, in cooperation with the majority of the state Legislative committee. is planning an educational campaign to begin at once and to be | carried to all parts of the state. Representative Orr and Representa I tive Ross of Jefferson went to Mont gomery yesterday to prepare the 1 formal report of the majority members of the state legislative committee or I convicts and highways for presenta- tion to the legislature when it recon venes July 8.

Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-12-31
By H. p. BURTON

N. E. A. Special Correspondent.
NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-'What
would I do If 1 were president? ?"
William G. McAdoo, sitting at his
desk In the Equitable building, looked
out over Trinity church to the fiat
Jersey coastline beyond. And he
said;
IT think there are things much
nearer and more important to the
public welfare today than that ques-
ton. What we want to consider now
is the question of getting peace in
the world. For until we ratify the
treaty and establish the basis of peace,
we can have no world order and
hence no national order-no world
prosperity and hence no real national
prosperity-for long.
"Under existing conditions no
American business mar can deal in
import or export trade while the
bases of peace are still undetermined
and the international credit situation
remains In its present chaos, and the
economic situation is kept In q state
of uncertainty. AS export trade de-
~clines, so does national prosperity de-
cline. The people must be made &C
quainted with this fact so that they
will insist that the obstructive tactics
now employed In Washington by the
Republican senators shall cease, n
world order be quickly TeStorcu'
"Our foreign trade Is, of course,
linked up with our railroad system,
and our merchant marine system, SO
that this problem of getting peace
quickly is intimately connected with
the matter of Immediately enerGizing
our transportation systems.
II came to know enough about the
railroads of our country while l had
the job of running them on a war
time baskerville we We're railroad
ing the kaiser to defeat-to know
that upon their proper functioning
depends the welfare OF Il people.
1--WE have got to realize that every
phase of our life. cocial and eco
homie, depends upon II t~ranSporta-
ton system. We have got to meet
the question honestly as to whether
our railroads are now to be unified OF
broken up again and we ave got to
know that even were they returned
to private control today and operated
on the most efficient basis possible
they would fall far short Of meeting
the necessary demands OF this great
nation.
at Is plain to those who studied
at close hand the problem during the

VIII Be Used by Edwards to Full
fiji Prediction Promises
By Special Correspondent.

NEWARK, Dec. 31:-"That a Re-
| publican legislature will be a cats
paw for the Democrats in pulling
their pre-election-promise chestnuts
out of the fire appears to be expected
by Governor-elect Edwards" re-
marked Samuel Wilson, assistant
state superintendent Of the Anti
Saloon League of New Jersey, in a
statement referring to a recent anti
prohibition declaration of Mr.. Ed
wards, and commenting on the pro-
posed bill authorizing the manufac-
ture and sale of Tight wines ana
beer" in New Jersey.
In his statement Mr.. Wilson said
In part:
'Mr. Edwards expects the Repub-
! leans to declare that light wines and
beer are not intoxicating beverages;
! and his patron and adviser, Frank
Hague, declares that light wine is
wine the way you i k it, and peer
| that would be permitted in New Jer-
| sey would have a good still KICK IN
it. -.
"Of course these gentlemen haven<
| the slightest Idea that h Republic
| cans will help them out of q bad
hole by enacting any such FOOLISH
| LEGISLATION as is outlined in the pre-
| amble of Senator Browns proposed
| bill. The Democrats are simply
passing the buck they promised
| the liquor dealers to protect them
/ knowing full well that the governor
would be as powerless as a three
days old baby to hold back p-ohibi-
ton enforcement by the federal
government. Their program is fol
Edwards to make impossible recon-
mendations in his inaugural address
and to offer an impossible bill to the
legislature, and then to say to theil
, disappointed and thirsty constituents
I we did our best, but the wicked
Republicans would not let US bring
the promised relief
"Of course this program Is 'chear
bunk A bill authorizing the sale
of light wines and beer would be
merely a scrap of paper for Uncle

and still controls. all liquor produc'
tton-will not permit their manufac-
ture, sale, importation, or transpor-
| tation, and from where are Edwards
| dupes to get their supply? The fed
eral courts, the department of JUS

and, If necessary, a federal army
