CONVICTS TO WORK ON STATE'S ROADS Measure Passes Senate After Lony Discussion of Old Stove Contract Bill Was Prepared by Lionel L, Webster. STATE HOUSE, Saloi.i, Or., Jim. 28. Having duvofed nn entire af ternoon to considering it in t lie committee of tlie whole, Senator Mil ler pushed Semite Hill 0 through to third rending and final vote. Thi.- is ono of the Webster hills and this particular one has to do with con victs from the penitentiary and working them on the roads. The main stickler and obstruction to the hill was an existing contract between tho state and tho Lowenherg-Qoin,; company. This contract is J or 10 years, was signed in November, VM)7, and under its terms tho state re ceives 45 cents u day for each pris oner worked in tho foundry. Wnrren K. Thompson, lawyer for the foundry, was on the floor of the senate while that body sat as (he committee of tho whole trying to safeguard tho terms of the contract, and h, . Webster was also on hand advocating tho bill. The contract was read and discussed. While tho senntors did not hesitate to say that tho contract should not have been made, that 15 cents a day was too low pny for tho use of the men espe cially when tho state has to hoard (hem, still it was held that tho state should not hack out of the contract with the Lowenherg-Going company President Selling spoko in favor of tho convicts being employed, saying that it was tin; worst form of pun ishment to tho prisoners to bo eon fined without occupation, lie then branched off into. a dissertation oil tho troubles an ox-convict has after his rclenso from prison in trying to ro-cstnblish himself and start life afresh. Selling declared that, when an ox-convict drifted to Portland from Salem, tho police and detec tives were awnro of his coming and that tho ox-eonvict's chances of ob taining work were small. Tho result is, said tho president of tho senate that in three or six mouths the con vict is hack in prison. Selling set it down as :i truth that n two or three- year sentence in the penitentiary is practically a life sentence. This bill to work convicts on the ronds was not trimmed and mutilat ed as freely as the highway commis sion bill, both of which were passed by (he senate yesterday. After, the senate, in tho committee of the whole, had amended the convict road work hill, Miller left the chnir, and made tho report to the senate and rushed it to a third reading and fi nal parsage. There arc Hcor.il other road bills in this same series to be taken up. CRUDE OIL KILLING HUNDREDS OF DUCKS SAN PA FA EL, Cnl., Jan. 28.
