Placing Prison System on a
Paving Basis

Gen. Mgr. Lee Simmons Is doing his level best 70
place the Texas prison system on a paying basis.
There is to be a printing and bindery shop in the
prison. This will be used TO manufacture printed
materials and to publish the journal Of the prison
system. 1t will offer no product for sale. Packing
ard canning plants are under construction. New
machinery is being bought for the prison shoe fac
tory. Its daily output has increased from 10 10 100
pairs Of shoes. Women's shoes are being made for
the first time. IN the near future machinery for
manufacture Of auto license plates will be installed.
AS il is Texas now sends over 100000 a year 20
manufacturing concerns beyond its borders.
Prison made shoes have been furnished the board
of control for state institutions on lowest bids Of
fered the state. Fred Horton Of Greenville, Hunt
county, is a member Of the prison board. He IS an
editor and publisher. He knows the printing and
publishing game. He believes that the prison print
ing plant in time will get around TO printing volumi-
nous reports OF state institutions and departments.
Texas has a prison population Of 5000. They must
be sheltered and clothed and fed. They should be
kept busy. Idleness, in or cut Of prison. IS a per
petual hellraiser. Lee Simmons and the members
OF the prison board appear to be determined to make
the system self disappearing. TO save money for the
payer and to make 1t possible to train the hands Of
ambitious convicts 50 thoroughly that when they
are given their freedom they will not only be self
respecting but thoroughly equipped for the battle OF
life. Those who are worth s~alvaging should be SAL
vaged. AS for the incorrigibes penologists say that

This aroused the ire OF the national chairman OF

One of the grounds Of her protests was that such 4
plan would throw out Of work women who need the
wages derived from night work. Furthermore she
said women work in cotton mills at night. not for
the diversion but because they need the pay and Il
