"The Legislature has provided no criminal penalty for violating this particular law but such contract would be illegal not withstanding this fact To uphold I this transaction would be to ap- yruvc ma i woicn ine law ex pressly condemns." Thornton said he was notifv- ing the prison warden and di- vision ox audits of the secretary of State that since this contract (was prohibited by law no pay ment tnereon is authorized. nowever, mormon didn t go into the question of whether the prison can buy and harvest crops on land owned by persons not em ployed by the state.

This pro duce is used for inmates of state institutions. Thornton said he is working on an opinion about this practice.
