notwithstanding the renewal of
complaints arising out o:' the recent

The inosl general!" accepted ex-J
planation of the r-r r tit trouble is;
that its chief cause was a scarcity j
of employ un til . Convict labor has
ericii'd all of th- ptison building.-
rstiiuati'd at a value of approximate-1
j ly a half million 'dollars and has.
also placed a ..i'0"-acre larm m a
high slate of r-iilti . ation. but the
present system of working convicts
on the public roads has proved a
failure ami. al pr seiil. practically
the only thing there is for the "-n-j
victs to o is to keep up the farm.
It i- probable however that a de-
cisive effort will be made to induce
th- next legislature to make satis-j
factcry arrangements for mure ex-j
tensive work on the public roads rf
the slate. A plan is also under way
to have tin' convicts open coal mines
on the penitentiary farm ami supply i
all th state institutions with chcap-l
er fuil. but as ct the s'ate has not
-acquired mineral r'ghts on the lanJ. j
j Another plan just announced by the1
hoard of prison control acting In
! conjunction with the sin'e board of:
; nldic affaiis. is to use floor s .ace .
in pew buildings to establish small j
I factories and thereby furnish sup-1
I plies to state institutions at a lower j
cost than they are now "unpolled
to

Members of j
express the I

I the prison board also
that some arraignments can be'
made whereby convict labor can be
used in getting out building fctono
for the new- capitol building a work
that w ill probably h start' -1 during
