For Good Roads. A report that the penitentiary authorities intend to try an ex periment, by using convict labor to better the roads between the various state institutions has had the effect of renewing the discus sion regarding the use of convicts for public road making. This is a matter in which every one should be interested for if con victs can be successfullv worked on the public roads then labor will be expended in such a way as to be a direct benefit to the public and at the same time it will not throw their labor in com petition , with that of the man who depends upon his daily labor for a livelihood 4 Our pet theory regarding the matter is to arrange the convicts, those which it is thought advis able to take without the walls of the penitentiary, in groups of 25, 50 or 106 each and then let them to the county bidding the high est lor . their service. The state authorities under such an arrange ment, could supply the necessary guards and equipment for camp ing and boarding the men while at work, leaving the superintend ing of the work the only thing to be done by the counties. Un der such an arrangement when one county was through with them, they could move on to an other that desired their services It by following this plan, the state only, received sufficient from the counties to pay the additional expense caused from taking them from the walls of the penitenti ary the state will be none the less better off while the work on the roads will be of lasting benefit to the public.
