TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
National Advertising Representatives
Where Convicts Pay Their Way

There are American commemorative where con-
victs pay their way.
Where enforced idleness is not the rule.
Where reformatory and reclamative programs are
carried to success.
Members OF the Texas penitentiary commission
made the discovery in their ramblings around the
nation. In the new plan to be found in the pages OF
the majority report provision is made for the hous-
ing OF 5000 prisoners and estimated value for the en-
tire plant to be constructed as given by the archi-
tect would be s4.ee3, 900. 'but as a large percentage ct
the cost would be met by the use Of prison labor. the
actual cash outlay by the state would be much less"
There are commonwealth where convicts pay their
way.
Florida has q new prison plant, Just ftnishe1. IL
was built entirely by prison labor.
Texas commissioners were told that not d single
free laborer was paid 81 for labor in the construc-
ton OF the plant. Plans were made largely on the
Minnesota prison plan and the state architect and
engineer Of the Florida system superintendent the
construction.
His assistant was an expert engineer, who was a
prisoner and who was reported to have superintendent
the entire construction as periodically and as skill
fully as he would have done had he been paid SO
or more a day that he would have received as an
employed superintendent"
Again Pennsylvania is building a new prison 90
mileS from fAlIdCtlpAlAd u DN
5000 prisoners.
In Pennsylvania as in Florida convicts pay their
way.
This Quaker state prison is being constructed large
Nv with prison labor. Michigan is building a new
prison near Jackson. According TO the majority re-
port the prison is being constructed to house sp-
proximately 5000 prisoners and get this: Cen
struction Of the prison beinng done largely by pris-
on labor"
This is the recommendation Of the majority OF the
Texas commission.
"The plant suggested by us would be several years
IN the building and would furnish employment ior
hundreds Of prisoners. We commend that as lar
as possible the penitentiary be built with prison Ia
Dor"
In three American commemorative conVlcts are
having their way by building their own prison
houses.
Well. why not "away down here in TeXas?'
Pennsylvania is the second state in the s~isterfocd
in age, population and wealth and--prison reform.
why not match Michigan?
Why not match Pennsylvania?
What objection is there TO the Florida plan?
Now where did the Texans locate and inspect me

visited in their ramblings over the country In

lation are the descendants Of the scandinavian race

There Is Money in Oil

There is money in oil" for the big fellows-the
gigantic generations of the world. There are prison
farms in Texas. Sen. Nat Pattin and Rep =. a.
King, e. T. Murphy and Harry NJ. Graves are re-
sponsible for the minority report sent to the governor
bv the Texas prison Capitalization commission. a
recommendation:
"We would further call attention to the fact that
on the Eastman farm there is at the present time a
fair supply Of natural gas that Is being produced ano
utilized within the buildings for the purpose OF pro-
ducing heat. We would suggest to this legislature
that this matter be Immediately investigated In order
that the state may determine the value OF this COM
modify. We also would call his legislatures atten-
ton to the fact that there Is at the present time
within approximately one mile Of the Imperial farm
an oil field called Dewalt from which oil field there
is now being extracted quantities Of oil. and to such
an extent that in all probability the states lands are
being drained Of any possible oil that might lie under
meath. we therefore suggest that this legislature
take immediate steps toward the passage Of an act
authorizing the leasing Of these lands at an early
date and before the states lands have been drained
OF any probable oil supply. This Of necessity VIII
have to be done at an early date because OF the I'M
mense quantities Of oil now being taken from the
ground within approximately one mile OF the line
Of the Imperial farm"
Why lease the land? Why not drill for oil and
utilize convict labor in the drilling? There are a
number Of big gushers on municipality owned land at
Oklahoma City.
All the velvet. It is said, is turned into the city
treasury. This lightens the load OF the Oklahoma
City taxpayers. This makes the urban Jones happy
There Is another paragraph taken from the minority
report "appertaining' TO oil. Read it:
The $4,000 acres Of state land lying south OF HouS-
tin is a potential oil field. One may stand at the
headquarters camp at this time and see the derricks
Of a new oil field now more than two miles from
state land"
II the state Of Texas, the people OF Texas own po-
tential oil fields Of great value, why not drill Tor OIL
and assist in making the prison system self-support-
ing? This is a reflection and not a recommended
ton. 1t is a matter for the lawmakers to decide.

the vikings Of old, the Norsenen who were the
boldest navigators OF their period, q hard headed ard
justice Loving people. This is the report made on
the Minnesota penitentiary and Its management:
Probably the best managed prison we saw, from
the discipline and financial standpoint and ms to
housing and care Of the prisoners was at Stnl-
water. This prison was built 16 years ago, but 1t
looks like 1t might have been moved into yesterday.
The management has not had an appropriation
from the legislature for its support and maintenance
Is years except an original $250.00o provided as
a revolving fund with which to carry on its bust
ness. Its reports show that in the PAST l6 years it
has earned over four million dollars in excess OF its
and has paid its prisoners thousands Of dollars
for their labor"
In Minnesota convicts pay their way and they re-
ceive a daily stipend for their labor.
There is a reason for 1t. The committee tells
1t in its findings.
This CMinnesota) has engaged principally in the
Of binder Irvine, rope and farm imple-
ments for the use Of farmers in the northwest. An
other prison which was built along the same line as
that OF saltwater and is very similarly managed Is
that at Kilby, near Montgomery, the capital OF Ala
bama, which is also self-sustaining. 1t is OF interest
that there are comparatively few escapes at the pris-
on where the prison population Is almost entirely
within the walls. At saltwater. for in
stance, we were informed that there had not been
an escape since the prison had been occupied, the
warden saying that he had never even found any
device inside the walls that any prisoners had been
for the purpose Of trying 10 escape. In
contrasting the experience q these other prisons with
our own we state that $50 prisoners have escaped
from the Texas prison in the last IL months.
There are commonwealth where the convicts not
only pay their way but they are the builders OF their
prisons.
This for the taxpayers OF Texas and their servants
who are the lawmakers Of the commonwealth.

But it was q gown that was very

Pat exclaimed, and the ring OF

TWO UNIVERSAL EINsTEIN
DEDUCTIONS

BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter
Two universal principles which
the EinStein theory has deduced
are: First, that the velocity Of light
in empty space always remains
constant as computed by an OBJ
server, no matter where the OBJ
server is, stationar. o in motion.
or from what direction the light Is
coming. A second principle. OF de-
duction Is that the amount OF ener-
gy a bod. Of matter contains. de-
termines its mass. When that body's
energy is increased. its mass mat
teri is dignity increased also. This
really means that energy has mass.
and Is a new departure from the
old theory Newton's) which held
that the mass OF q body Is con.
