Just a little bit harder and while it may be said legislation alone —will not cure crime it must be admitted that criminals find certain fefuge in the law which should be wiped out f The bills proposed by Attorney General Cummings are calns culated to break down the state boundaries which serve as added national brief In law defiant for the they give significance to tlje problem of crime as it affects the states — Iventuallyf4t should dissipate that protection the criminal experiences by the simple expedient of moving from one state to another This federal Interest iii law enforcement should be an inspiration to the state authorities It should be interpreted as meaning that if the states themselves cannot control the growing problem of crime they may expect the federal government to do it Such a threat is encouraging in the measure that it stimulates law enforcement within the states to greater effort Ultimately it is bound to correct a public misapprehension with regard to the law to the effect that the cburse of the law is determined in a large measure by influence or the measure in which the individual is affected As President Roosevelt pertinently remarks: “Law enforcement and gangster extermination cannot be made completely effective 10 long as a substantial part of the public looks with tolerance upon known criminals permits public officers to be corrupted or Intimidated by them or applauds efforts to romanticize crime" The federal course at this time should ultimately result in a changed philosophy withegard to crime and criminals both big ahd little It should stimulate public respect for the law and increasing reluctance to compromise it with indifference or med- -t dlesome interference’ The underworld has thrived for years on propaganda designed to encourage the citizenship to give no aid to the police ' By thoroughly aaturating the country with abhorrence of the term stool pigeon they have handicapped the police' effort to citizens have gain publlo confidence and cooperation Law-abidibecome reluctant to sign complaints or testify agablst known criminals unless they themselves were directly affected The result has been that a good part of the publlo has come to accept crime as a necessary evil and ao tolerated it and mingled with it The renewed interest which the federal govem- rnent affects in interstate crime should be helpful in dissipating this indifference Law enforcement would be easy if every citizen appreciated his responsibility in apprehending and prosecuting criminals i T A TIME when kidnapers --LX Y40 -- pro-tectio- law-abidi- ng ng When Minorities Kule AN rr ISfiscil affairs AXIOM of politics that majorities are always right it is to be hoped that the principle applies to the majority of a minority The people of St Louie in an election last week approved municipal bonds to the amount of $18100000 and school bonds In the light of widespread indifference amounting to $2000000 to the ultimate accounting in publio debt and the very apparent need for work projects it is not difficult to comprehend the approvaL It is difficult to understand the public attitude which permlta people to direct the bonded destinies of 821000 people The municipal projects were carried by a vote of approximately 112000 to 18000 Less than 100000 voters participated in the vote 120000 on school bonds which were carried by approximately 79000 to 15000 In the mere act of voting each of the voters who favored the municipal bonds spent nearly $143 of the publio funds The saving grace of the St Louis situation is that the vote probably proportionately represented the Sentiment of those who didn’t vote The result would have been the aame if it hadn’t — At the same time the state of Missouri voted $10000000 in bonds for publio improvements bringing the total obligation in which St Louis residents must participate up to $28000000 Much good no doubt will bq accomplished by the spending of this money but even its beneficiaries must remember that it must be paid back with interest a fact which they are inclined to over-look at tax time The vote has no particular algnificance in this wectlon - It nevertheless is an urge to greater public interest in the fiscal affairs of government Good citizens can 111 afford to leave the determination of the taxes of the next generation to the minority forces of government Publio obligations should bo weighed as deliberately a if they were personal 1 Are We Creating a New Class of Paupers? pUBUC relief administrators are beginning to Wonder where the present liberal emergency relief program is going to ter minate—If at all Such a large percentage of our population is being carried on the federal and state relief rolls and ao many of the recipients are acquiring the Santa Claus attitude toward government charity that the taxpayers as well as the administrators have cause for being concerned A recent report of a federal relief administration in a small but conservative old New England town illustrates the situation During the past three months in addition to the usual public welfare charities they have distributed more than $100000 worth of federal commodities Along with the increase in free distribution of federal funds is a constantly changing psychology of a large number Of formerly people previously according to the report there has always been a very definite feeling on the part of their citizens against receiving charity in any form Everyone felt that once a family "went on the town" that family was disgraced But the sentiment is changing Some 200 new families were willing to accept federal charity this past year Federal aid was somehow different! ' Furthermore the New England administrator believes that a considerable number of these new charity cases look upon Uncle Sam as a parent a father to whom they are entitled to look for food clothing and fuel And now that they have eaten of the lotus they will expect to be supported by it forever after He says: "They do not ask for help they expect it demand ft as their ' ' fight" This disturbing attitude on the part of those receiving public relief is something that should concern us all The question may veil ha aAed: Are we reaching the danger point of givlngf ' Are jsq C'-’-' pewr plasi si paupers - rg ’ 'I - st New York NOTES ON THE CUFF DEPARTMENT What often at first looks like a cao Mcintyre By lamity is sometimes a blessing Things It may serve as a comfort to us in weren't going along so good for Bill that all afflictions our calamities and HolWagstoff World war veteran and LOS ANGELES May 20-- On he who loses anything and gets wis- life insurance salesman He was lywood boulevard amid the clatter dom by loss is gainer by the difficult to finding it increasingly and banter of a jousting restaurant supply hi wife and two children WHY I LOVE is Jewell Schuman whose brown with the necessities of life And then I love you not only for what you his wife presented him with TRIPwaitress uniform hides the Olympian That was about two years ago soarings of a poet Like the aproned are but for what I am when I am LETS!
