HOWZE DECLARES N FAVOR OF BILL REQUESTING LEASE
Jefferson Legislators Now Unanimous In Support Of
 Ending System

T am in favor of the abolishment of the convict lease system by Jan uary 15, 1926" Henry Howze, only member of the legislature from Jef- ferson county voting for the re- establishment of the system at the beginning of Governor Brandon's ad- ministration, declared to committee delegated to visit him from the Fed erated clubs, the third district of Alabama, Saturday. Mrs. Priestley Toulmin headed the committee.
 MT. Howze stated the impression that he was opposed to doing away with the lease to be false and pro- ceeded to give his reasons for taking the stand in favor of the lease. When kilby went out of office, he said no provision had been made for 1,600 state convicts. Governor Bran don asked for an extension of time. promising to abolish the lease system during his administration. Because the governor had asked 1t, and as there was no other place to put them at the time, Mir. Howze stated he voted on the measure as a temporary one. He insisted that he was in fa- yor of the abolition Of the system.
 When asked by the Federated club committee if he would support bill bringing about the abolition of the contract system in Brandon's admin istration MT. HowZe said he would. He thought a law calling for the cessation of the system within one year after being passed would all low time to perfect the change, but agreed that measure ending the practice January IS, 1926, would be satisfactory, and promised to support such a bill.
 MT. Howze advocates working the convicts on state highways If they are taken out of the mines.
