THE COST OF CRIME.

The cost of crime to the United States
is appalling. What the cost of crime to
the whole world may be has not been
calculated, but some idea may be form
ed when the figure for the United States
is put at $500, 900, OOO This was brought
forward by Eugene Smith, New York
lawyer, who spoke before the National
Prison Association in Cleveland. This
is a matter which we can think over
too. The number of criminals in our
jails and lockups is always increasing,
and they cost us for food guards. and
various odds and ends, close on to fifty
cents a day each, and that does not take
in - consideration the money invested
in buildings and what is spent in re-
pairs.
The vast sum expended upon the cri-
minal classes of the United States ex-
ceeds the value of the entire cotton
crop, exceeds the value of the wheat
crop and as Mr. Smith points out is "all
of it sheer spoliation, without any COM
pensating consideration or benefit, a
terrifying incubus upon the industry
and prosperity of the people"
The cost to the people of criminal
trials is enormous. In civil suits the
expenses are borne by the individual
litigants, but in criminal cases the ex-
pense of prosecution has to be borne by
the Government which means the peo-
pie In the recent Molineux case In
New York this amounted to hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
Mr.. Smith takes New York city and
county as an example to base his cal
culations upon. In that city and county
he finds that $2O,OOO,OOO were spent dur
ing the year 1899 in the repression and
correction Of crime out of a total ex-
penditure Of $9O,OOO,OOO. This means a
crime taxation of six dollars per head.
In San Francisco the cost of repression
and correction Of crime is five dollars
per head. But it is quite question
whether the community is as severe in
San Francisco as in New York, and
whether granted that the taxation is
less, the predatory exactlons may not
be more. In small cities the crime"

The death of Johannavitz from a
shock of electricity shows how much
care should be taken by the electric
light companies to patrol and keep their
lines in order. The wonder is, not that
Johannavitz was killed, but that more
people were not killed. Sevearl people
received shocks and some small fires
were started. 1t was only the other
evening that there was live wire blaz-
ing away on the Pauoa valley road.
Fortunately no one was hurt and help
was sent to put the matter in order.
We are so apt to treat such matters
very lightly here, and consider that
they are unavoidable. But accidents are
avoidable If proper precautions are
taken. and the question is are proper
precautions taken by the electric light
people.

THE BIG SNAG.

Secretary Cooper has given a judge
ment upon the time allowed for cleo
ton which is calling forth a considera-
BILE amount of comment. The Star said
yesterday:
Secretary Cooper, has ruled that the
polls may be kept open after o'clock
if voters are in line and waiting to
vote. This is a solution, but whether
it will stand the test Of law is quite an
other thing. A defeated candidate
might challenge such a procedure and
nullify the election. If you can keep
the polls open against the express
statement of the law, you might just
as well increase the number of voting
desks,
No amount of verbiage, nor any
amount of briefs, are going to disturb
this position. If the polls close at 3 p.
m. and persons have not voted, there is
an end of the matter. The defeated
candidates can have nothing to say.
But on the other hand if the polls are
kept open beyond the legal time, the
defeated candidates have a very rea-
sonable grounds for objection and for
legal action. You can no more monkey
with law than you can with a buzz
saw, in each case you are bound to cut
your fingers
The difficulty was first pointed out in
The Star some weeks ago, and one
must give Secretary Cooper credit for
having tried to reach solution. But
the trouble is that as the law stands
there is no solution now. There might
have been had the matter been fOreseen
in time, for the law provides for the
ub-division of precincts at a fixed
period before election. But the very
fact that the law has provided a rem
edy if taken in time, initiates against
the plan of Secretary Cooper. The law
can say you had a remedy, you failed
to use it. 1t is no business of the law
to consider that you failed to do so,
it is no excuse for you to say thar you
did not foresee. Secretary COoper's
ruling is going TO bring endless trouble
There is acrimony enough now politi-
caly, he has only opened the door to
infinitely more. As a fact he has paved
the way for vitiating the election in
at least two districts.
If a polling place can be kept open
after o'clock, why should not all poll
ing take place after that hour? 1t
would certainly be convenient for many
voters. AS the law now reads the polls
can be closed as soon as every register
ed voter has voted in his precinct. Now
suppose the voter of a precinct did not
vote during the day, and at 4:45 p. m.
lined up for voting purposes. 1t is very
clear that evasion of the law could be
forced, if Mr.. Cooper's ruling is up
held. Again, if voting is allowed after
five o'clock, when is it going to end.
Can it be kept on indefinitely till next
day? By dilatory tactics in the booths
it might be kept on for a very great
length of time. The proposed plan,
though perfectly honest, lis impractic-
able, and thoroughly dangerous. 1t is
an expedient, but it is not law.

dollar per head is considered a conser-

900 inhabitants of cities at
