11?= LANCASTER C ASSOC! MKMBl Thin Column published weekly fo and others Interested in the Autonr I Washington, April 21.?While the roty> touring season reaches Its greatest heights in the summer months, an effort will he made again this year to have the week in July which Includes the "Glorious Fourth" figure as the maximum period, as was the case a year ago. when the American Automobile association and the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce co-nnerated in aecelerat Ing motor mileage by calling upon the clubs of the owners organization and the dealers of the makers to encourage every motorist to take to the highway. At the April meeting of the executive board, the A. A. A. accepted a suggestion of the Ohio State association that the plan be repeated. In the belief that the two and onehalf million motor-car owners will demonstrate in added degree the wonderful aballity of the self-propelled ^vehicle In covering distance and in .making the people of the counties and states better acquainted with one another and thus solidifying a national sentiment which is essential to the adoption of an effective and comprehensive scheme of war preparedness. In the preparedness conference which took place in Washington, D. C., April 17, at the war college, the America u Automobile association and the Society of Automobile Engineers participated along with the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce and the Motor and Acces sory Manufacturers In the deliberates which hail in view the ultimat" arroption of a concrete form of interrelated effort. It was inevitable that the A. A. A. spokesmen who were headed by President John A. Wilson, should call particular attention to the necessity of hichways as a part of anv effective defense proposition. It was set fortli that the l'.ankhead hill, which is now pending in the United Stntes senate and provides for a combined federal and state eonstruction of whatever main roads may he agreed upon, would be an excellent start tn the creation of a system which would lend itself to military purposes and still in times of peace serve post office and Interstate need-. Good llomi lliiildint; in (icoi-gin Convict road work is developed in Georgia to a greater exteut than in any i. her state. June 1, lhli>. according to a report received by the National Committee on Prisons Judge George T. Cann. of Savannah, 2,!*62 felony and 3.185 misdemeanor convicts were employed on the roads. The State Prison Commission has supervision over all felony and misdemeanor oiisoners in Georgia. This centralized control is in advance of the method in vogue in most states of placing misdemeanant prisoners unde- county control. It makes possible the better development of any labor system, on roads, farms, or in manufacturing. All male prisoners capable of road .work and work upon drainage systems are prorated out to the various counties which make requests for their prorata, exclusive of hoys ? i inn:.. iiiireu ur hk* ? iiiiiriii convict Any two or more counties combine for the purpose of working and improving the roads of \ the. respective counties with the approval and consent of the Prison Commission. A county has the right to deliver its quota of convicts to another county, the county recelv ir.g the convicts paying for their services by an exchange of convicts or work on the roads. No provision is made for payment between the counties in money. When convicts are employed by any county, rigid regulations are enforced. The county must provldi at Its expense proper guards, cloth )ng, bedding, buildings, medical supervision. etc. They are also required to furnish 11 -innoifioS <11. ? thy the Prison Commission; for instance, a certain amount of fresl! meat .1 specified number of timet' a woek. Judge Caun emphasizes the public economical advantage of employing ?onv|c?s in building good roads af compared wltji the old lease system when private Individuals wero made rich from the convict's labor. The value, he states. Is now derived by OUNTY AUTO [ATION sit ok r tlu* information of tin* iihmiiIhtn obllo lM?th for pleasure anil business the public in its public works, with th<' least competition with free labor and the greatest benefit to the con vict. The National Committee on Prisons congratulates Georgia on its exeellent showing, but asks if some of the value were returned to the convict would it not lessen the cost of guards? Iowa has found it practical to pay wage to convicts working on the roads?so can Georgia. IIAVK A ytlKT li.U'GII | The letter printed below was sent | to the American Motorist by President Muthewson of the Montana State Automobile and Good Roads Association with this explanation: This letter was brought in by one of ouremployes for advice as to its suitability for transmission to the Secretary of State, in order to obtain a license and number plate for a Ford automobile, which the employe in uuii mm in , uinmrn tvenneraell i chairman Contest Board; A.
