Commenting on the employment ol
ooorioti oo the public highwcys, the
IlW (M? Tim?*-Democrat points
oat that tba beat results have been obtatnod
taroad building yt ben the best
free labor ooly has been employed. It
ogra:
fioad construction is a science requiring
a maze earefal study of the nab
Jaot than Ib generally imagined. The
pseralent Mm that any one can build a
food read will not huld good The
Hi nouires study, care and a thor
0agh knowledge of the soil and country
through which the road is to be bnilt.
The department cf agriculture has late
1j bean doing good work bj laying be
too the people exactly what is necea
amy in rood construction.
The employment of convicts in road
construction is very popular just now.
as offering simultaneously a solution of
the two troublesome problems of what
to do with oar prison population and
how to improve our highways. In view
Of the fact that the convicts in Mew
York, Indians and other states are kept
fcUat aa the law makes no provision for
their amort it ia well that Louisiana I
should take some step* to ntilise ben
when it hat them on its bands, and
SMd construction seems an ideal em
y ployment for tbem.
On the other hand, the experience of
Aon states which hare been most successful
with their roads is that only
t the hart labor (and oonriot labor is not
the test) should be employed in their
BOiieti uutiutt and maintenance. No state
which has made ?aj material improvement
with its highways has employed
?mriet labor, and no state which ban
(BHikywl that tindol labor baa secured
much liajsti?it la its roads. The
bort results have been aooomplisbed by I
E. mad tasm and ths firing oat at oaa
