In the istat does not stanl behind any

it the constitution was ratified with
this provision In It. It wss fett, how

if the legislature of 1V1 and that of

of the constitution As matters now are.
no ametulm'mt can be made to take
efTeol before the beginning of IVft, and
so for three years to come the problem
of finding work for the convicts will
be a pprwdng one.
In support of the plan of using them
on the roaos ene strong arguments
are presented In another column by
men who have made a ii-ei-4.l study
of prison questions. In their minds
thnre Is no grave objectkm to such
employment of the rtsoiers, although

natumily, in the Immediate vkintty of
the prisons. Even when carried on at
a distance of several miles the convicts
could daily return to the regular quar
ters. At greater dhftanem convict
amps would become neomsary, nut
they qmild be so conducted as to be
mother a nuisance nor a danger to
the (nvnumnities In which they might
be situated . The sucrena of the plan
would require careful organization.
While the maintenance of prisoners In

would W more costly than their main
tenance In the prisons, a large amount
of work would be scoured for a mod
erate outlay. The employment of the
men out of doors would be excellent
as respects their own health, and such
employment rould easily be -oimtinued
during more than half of each year.
The brll proposed In the last legis
lature for fh cotiMtructlon of nad
by convh-t. on a email scale had merit.
The friend of the gl-road movement
hope that that bill, or one providing
for the employment of convicts In this

favor at the present session. The pre
