Texas prison pens and farms have a new man
ager. Lee Simmons of Grayson county has accepted
the place. He Is a member Of the prison board. For
months and months the board and the governor did
their level best to draft one OF the most successful
farmers and bushes men OF Texas. He turned a deaf
ear time and again. Finally he yielded to the pres
sure and now he Is the Mussolini Of the prison system
and 5000 c~onvicts.
Legislative appropriation Of s575.000 Is at his
disposal. There is an item Of $4,000 for construction
OF a system OF highways on prison properties. Gov.
Moody has q plan to relieve the overcrowded housing
situation. He would work several hundred convicts
on the state highways, and he has asked members Of
the highway commission to designate roads prison.
ers could be assigned to work.
1t is for the highway engineer and the commits
rioners to accept or reject the proposal. Federal con-
victs have been ordered from the Atlanta peniten-
tiary to North Carolina to be utilized as road builders
on government property. Why not state convicts on
state highways? Why place all the load Of taxation
on the gasoline users OF the commonwealth?
Lee Simons is not a practical politician. He has
been given a free hand. He will not permit practical
politicians to interfere with his program. He has
bluntly stated that partisan politics shall not be per-
mitted to interfere with his program or its workings.
He is a man of his word. He has the courage to
back up his words and q backbone that has never
bent to the pleadings Of friends or the threats Of
foes. This is his record where he Is best known. He
is facing a tough problem and he knows it.
