WILL WORK HOUSE
Be ABOLISHED IN
COMING ROAD ACT
ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT
WILL CONFRONT THE MAKERS
81 OF THE LEGISLATION. e.
COSTS PER CAPITA ARE HEAVY
But Others Insist That Prisoners
Should Not Be Kept In ldleness
Then There Are Advocates of Leas-

(From Saturdays Daily Herald
What to do with the county work
house will be one of the problems
that will confront the makers of the
new road law. In the opinion of many
the number of work house inmates
have been so reduced that 1t is no
longer wise to maintain the work
house. The cost per inmate for
guards, etc os too high and for that
reason they are advocating the entire
abolition of that institution. They
would simply do as was done In the
days before the county had a work,
simply let the prisoners convicted of
minor offenses lanquish in Jail during
the period of their sentences. q. "a.
But. there are great many people
who are opposed to keeping the pris-
oners idle in the county jail They
believe that it is bad for the prison
ers and argue that no penal institu-
ton is created to return a profit, but
to punish and if possible improve man.
kind. They hold that the question of
whether the prisoner returns profit
to the county cannot be properly con
sidered Others insist that the con-
yicts be leased to some one for work
on the roads or in some other task.
But the convict lease system is un
der almost universal condemnation
and this suggestion will probably be
rejected.
With the reduction of the prisoners
al the work house from an average of
a hundred to about one-tenth of that
number there has been a proportions
ate increase in the cost per capita of
keeping them and this has naturally
caused dissatisfaction Coming at the
time when the cot of everything at the
work house has increased tremendous
ly the comparison has been altogeth-
er unfavorable for existing condit ,ons.
There are whole lot of things that
the conference to be called by Sena-
tor Looney to assist In making the
road law will have to discuss and
work out.
