Convict-Built Roads. Drain Notes. The benefits tumour state from the possible outcome of tbe present movement set in motion by the re cent appointment of a state road commission are inestimable. This commission was provided for by the passage by tbe last legislature of Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 31, which provides for a committee of five to examine into the feasibil ity of constructing a macadamized road from Portland to the south line of the state, the work to be performed by convict labor. The commission held its initial meeting September ‘20, effected its organiza tion, and already has committees at work on the practical progress of its business. It is bound, however, to report on the feasibility of the proposition, and will render its findings upon this point as truly and honestly as upon any other. This is a work that should receive tbe encouragement and assistance of every citizen of Oregon. Noth ing so greatly improves a state or county as good roads, and no state has half enough of them. The very nature of the question at once places it beyond ths contests of partisan politics, and nothing can constitute a reason for opposition to the movement save a possible objection to tbe location. Ou this poiDt it should be remembered that abova and far beyend the technical premises of the resolution, which has brought this first commission into existance, and whicb provides for a certain stretch of road, is the question of practicability of employ ing the convicts on the roads. If it is practical to build one good piece of road of sufficient extent to demonstrate the success of the ven ture, it will be practical to keep the convicts employed in road-building for all time. The principal argu ment in favor of tbe scheme is that it takes the work of the convicts out of competition with the free labor of the state by creating an en tirely new field for their services which, except for the question of the best possible employment of the convicts themselves, would not be created for many years at least. The question of good roads is a paramount one all over this nation, but no where more than iu Oregon. Pause aud make a hurried estimate of the amount of time utterly lost in traveling over poor roads ns com pared to good ones, and how long would it take the energy so wasted to make every legal road an ever lasting pavement. A very few years in any populated regiou, and in no conceivable public improve ment could tbe money be better spent. The Labor Press takes this opportunity to urge every one of its readers to help make this a live issue henceforth. Talk it np on all occasions. Let us all constitute ourselves a joint commission in this matter. If you think the venture unsound, say so and give your reasons. If every dissenting argument can be thoroughly offset, and a unanimity of public support secured such as a work of so generally beneficial a nature as this should have, it is conceivable that the result will be a permanent character of internal improvement for tbe Btate such os no similar outlay has ever accom plished. It is of paramount moment that this road commission shall re port favorably upon tbe feasibility of this plan, and is is up to the cit izens of the state to help show the commissioners that it is feasible.— Portland Labor Press.
