Introduction of a New Bill in State Senate Today
The senate, meeting in Lay, considers a new bill drafted at a Lay room session led by Senator Stephens. It proposes terminating the state system on March 3, 1909 and directs convict labor to road work, with counties choosing to consolidate for camps or to transfer convicts for payment and credit. The bill also allows a small number of convicts on the state prison farm to raise supplies for road workers. The senate plans no preexisting measure this morning, opposes the conference committee's report, and may act as a substitute for the pending bill if approved.
