lease system exist, the title will not be a misfit. Let's do away with "Alabama's Shame, and save the fair name of our state. If 47 other states can run their governments without this pernicious system, sure ly. Alabama has the intelligence to do the same.
 As Governor Kilby was leaving of- flee, after four years of service to the state, he made. the following message: ''The lease system is a relic of the days of barbarism. Ala bama is the only state in the union leasing convicts. It barters the lives of human beings for gain. Such gain may be properly termed blood money Leased conVicts are not di- rectly under the control of the state while al work. They are frequent ly subjected to mistreatment, and the state and convicts are without re- course"
 During Governor Kilbys admins tration, he ordered that every prison leash in the state be burned.
 While the leash has been abolished, far more inhuman mode of punish ment, the dog-house, has been sub mitted. The dog-houses are coffin shaped sweat-boXes, turned on end, in which the men are strung up by the wrists with their toes barely
 
 in this position, without food or water, for as much as 4S hours, and sometimes longer Ga case is on record where prisoner was confined in-She dog-house 90 hours continuously.
 If the lease system is abolished, the convicts can be put to work on public roads, state farms, in state industries, and, if necessary, in state mines.
 The statement Is sometimes made that we must keep the system to save the state from bankruptcy. An ca animation of the records will show the absurdity of the argument. At the end of the four years, 1919-1922, there was a surplus of more than $2,0O0,000 in the treasury. The dis bursements included s500,000 paid to retire bonds and $3,000,000 for the construction of new buildings. Dur ing the present administration, the tax on gasoline, already adopted, will add to the treasury at least S500,000 a year. or $2,000,000 for the four years. The lease system brings to the state revenue of only about S5O0,000 year.
 These figures do not take into con- sideration the probable increase in the consumption of gasoline and in the value of taxable property. But. after all, it Is not a question of fi- nance, but one of morals. With the finances of the state in splendid shape, there is no excuse or justifi- cation for this wicked and pernicious system.
 At meeting of the committee of the statewide campaign for the abol- ishment of the convict contract sys- tenn, Judce William E. Fort, chair man, deciared: "The fight to end the convict lease system in Alabama be- gan many years ago. This committee assures the public that our campaign will never end until this unjust sys- tenn is forever destroyed"
