try That is the easiest. cheapest, and
best way to accomplish the purposes of

Mr.. Eugene Smith, New York law
yer, estimates the money cost of crime
in this country at $500. 100000 a year.
This includes the cost of the machinery
the criminal class make necessary arm
of government. Some criminal trials
cost thousands of dollars. Besides the
sums the criminal class get into their
possession, the existence of this class
calls for prisons, courts, police and like
means of defense Mr. Smith estimates
the average yearly sp0liation of the
habituai criminal at 81 100, and the num-
Der of this class at one million and
quarter. If these estimates are correct,
the criminal class costs the country
$500, 0o0 900 a year besides the cost of
furnishing crime and protecting the
communities against criminals. The one
million and a quarter of criminals cost
more than the federal government, more
than twice as much as the army and
navy, and more than is spent yearly in
the United States for the public schools.
Mr.. Smith says the last year the city
and county of New York spent $50. 000
600 in depressing and correcting crime.
During the same year the total expenses
CT the same district were $50 000, 000- Al
most one-fourth of the total expendi-
ture Of county and municipal govern
ment was caused by the criminal class

MEMBERSHIP OF NEXT HOUSE

From the Chicago Times HERALD
It is too much to expect, of course,
that congress would favor such a simple
solution Of the reapportionment prob
lem as the adoption of round 2O0, 600
as the ratio upon which to base the con-
gressionaI representation for the next
ten years. Under the new federal CEN
sus that would make an increase of
only eighteen in the membership Of the
house, which is plenty large enough
without increase.
The principal objection to this ratio,
however would arise from the fact that
it would reduce the representation of
Maine, Virginia, Kansas and Nebraska.
The opposition of these states would
avail nothing If the house desired to
establish the ratio at one representative
for every POO. 600 population, but there
has always been such strong opposition
to reapportionments which would entail
a loss upon any state that there is little
probability that this congress viii do
what it is generally conceded some fu-
ture congress must do-eut down the
representation of some of the states.
If presidents are followed therefore,
it is likely that congress will adopt the
largest ratio possible without reducing
the representation of any state which
is 1874 344. This would add twenty eight
members. making the total mem bership
of the house $50. 1t was plainly obvious
as soon as the census returns from Iii
nois were announced that no reappor-
tionment could be made without adding
to Illinois representation in the house.
The proposed ratio Of 1884 would give
this state twenty-five representatives.
being a gain of three. Only one other
state in the union, New York. would Sc
cure SO large a gain, which would give
her thirty representatives Min
nesota. New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Texas would gain two each. while Ar
kansas, California, Colorado, Connect
cut Florida, Iowa Louisiana, Massa-
chusetts, Mississippi. Missouri. North
Carolina. North Dakota, Washington
and West Virginia would gain one each
The noteworthy feature of the census
figures as revealed in connection with
the proposed plan of reapportionment
is the disclosure that the west has not
gained upon the east to the extent that
has been shown in previous censuses.
While this is true, it does not follow
that the west has ceased to control the
situation in politics and in national
legislation. The states of New York.
Pennsylvania and New Jersey viii have
a congressional strength under the pro-
posed ratio of 70 votes. Against these,
however, the states of Illinois, Ohio. IN
diana. Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Minnesota can show a combined
strength of 102 votes in the house, to
say nothing Of the far western states.
Ii is an interesting circumstance that
under the proposed ratio the eastern
states show the same gain as the west
ern states, which is nine votes.
No matter what readjustment is made
Illinois is certain to have increased
power in congress and in the electoral
college
