URGE [EGISLAT TURE T0 ABOLISH LEASE
Open Letter Made Public By State-Wide Committee
 Seeking To End System

An open letter to members of the Alabama legislature of 1923 calling on that body to end the convict lease system at an early and defi- mite date, and calling attention to petitions signed by more than 60,- 900 citizens has been sent by the statewide campaign committee for abolishment of the system from headquarters in the HiHman hotel, Birmingham. ei B4
 The letter in part states. we feel that our urgent request that the legislature end the convict lease system at a definite date during the present administration Is not unrea- sonable. You gentlemen last Janu- ary voted to extend the time for ending the system till March Sl, 1927 just 10 weeks after the next administration comes into office. The result Is that this administration need do nothing whatever to pre- pare to end the system, and the next administration may claim that 10 weeks is not sufficient time in which to prepare, and call for further extension. Thus the scene is set for endless buck-passing."
 Emphasis is laid on the fact that the question Is one of great moral proportions and 1t is claimed that no. economic loss should be of suf- ficient weight as to cause the state to commit an immoral act.
 The letter is signed by Judge Will Ham E. Fort. as chairman, and Mrs. Priestley Toulmin, as secretary, of tho state- wide committed
