1t Is a Costly Income"

(Spokane Chronicle, Aug. 80, 1909
According to Chaplain Le'Cornu,
of the state penitentiary, 80 per
cent of the inmates of that institu-
ton are there directly or indirectly
as the result of intoxicating liquor.
Mr.. lie Cornu has been connected
with the prison for some time and
has made a study of criminology
and the causes which lead to crime,
and he should be we'll qualified to
furnish statistics relating thereto.
The figures given by him may
even be considered conservative, as
it is not improbable that IN many
cases where some other cause is
assigned for the commission of
crime, that cause may be the result
of drinking; so even 80 per cent
may be low estimate.
II 80 per cent of the convicts
reach the penitentiary by the
whisky route it is but fair to charge
up to the liquor traffic at least 80
per cent of the cost of the mainte-
nance of the institution, which is
more than quarter of million
dollars annually. including build
ing and grounds in excess of the
returns from the products manu-
featured by the state.
One of the strong arguments
which have ever been advanced by
the saloons friends is that it brings
a big revenue to the state, but the
taxpayers are beginning to discover
that the balance is on the wrong
side of the ledger. The cost of
maintaining whisky-made convicts
at the the penitentiary is but
small percentage of the total ex-
pense to the state. the amount be-
ing probably doubled by the cost of
trying criminal cases in the courts,
the expenses of police courts to
handle cases of common drunken
ness and the maintenance of large
forces of policemen and peace off,
GERS.
Is it any wonder that the tenn
perance sentiment is growing all
over the nation. and that the states
are placing stronger and stronger
restrictions upon the saloon bust
ness? 1t has become not only a
question of morality and decency,
but a question of business as we'll.
The old argument that the liquor
business pays large share of the
expenses of government has been
| exploded, and it has been shown
that for every dollar it pays in the
way of taxes and expenses it may
create an expense of several times
that amount.
By passing local option law,
although not so effective as might
have been desired, this state has
taken wise step in dealing with
this traffic.
