We realize that healthful, useful must be furnished for these state charges to do; constitution requires it and so do humanity and good The Star believes that other lines of work should ) selected, work which does not bring the prison labor competition with our free labor, that does not bring ir industries into competition with prison industries. ‘And camouflage it all you will, prison labor does just Whether the convicts make goods to be sold in the n market or whether they make them only for state sumption the effect is the same in the last analysis. Star believes that the “honor camp” system of ng convicts in highway construction, which was some years ago, was good. It gave the men uilding, open air work. It gave them, in camps from public scrutiny, a better mental and moral onment than inside the gray stone walls. It resulted building of needed roads that we would not other- -have gotten for years to come, and thus it did not free men of employment. it if it is not possible to use all of them, or not feas- to use any of them now, at such work, here is an- ion: em to clearing state-owned logged-off lands. m Washington has thousands of acres greatly need- uch development.
