TAX LEVIED
BY Crime Compared With Other
Liabilities.

That two hundred persons a
week are being murdered in this
country and crime is costing us
SO, 100000 a day, while the police
stand practically helpless, is the
striking declaration of Mr.. Hugh
Q. Weir in the Chicago World.
He figures that 100000 persons
whom the law never touches ARE
engaged in the systematic pursuit
of crime as a business" Mean
while the police devote a larg part
of their time to gathering in the
"drunks." Out of $4,000 arrests
in this country last year, over
100000 were for drunkenness. 1t
is one of the arguments of the
temperance reformer tn t if
drunkenness were abolished, the
police could give more attention to
protecting life and property, and
Mr.. Weir seems, theoretically at
least, to reach the same conclusion.
At any rate, crime is rampant and
unpunlshed. Mr.. Weir begins
with some diSduieting remarks on
murder:
Ten, thousand persons are
murdered in this country every
year-shot, strangled, poisoned,
stabbed or beaten with club or
sandbag. OF the murders two in
every 100 are punished. The re-
naming ninety-eignt escape-abso-
lutely free! In many of our States
the proportion of convictions is
only half as great. In Georgia,
for instance, only one murderer in
every 100 is punished. In recent
census of American crime, digest
ing the nation as a whole, the
statement was made that in only
!. 3 per cent. of our homicides do
we secure a conviction.
Chicago averages ll8 murders
in a year. Ia the same space of
time Paris records only l5. MUIR
derS and attempted murders.
London, four times the size of
Chicago, has only twenty murders.
In the course of twelve months,
Georgia. typical example of the
American State-records forty-hve
homicides-more than the whole
of the British Empire! More
people are murdered in this coun-
try in a year than are killed on the
railroads. In three years, h e
victims of our murder cases total
more than the losses Of the British
army in the Boer War.
And now we discover that
when our poets and orators and
our artists have finished telling of
our greatness and our glory, we
have fostered wickedness and law
lessness as has no other nation in
the world: that. behind our boast
ed institutions of government the
thug and the thief and the assas-
sin are operating with vigor and
a freedom duplicated nowhere else
in civilization. And our crime
and wickedness are steadily in
creasing.
There are four and half times
as many murders for every million
of our population today AS there
were twenty years ago,
The significant fact about it all
is that the rest of the world does
not share these statistics. Our in
creased wickedness is confined to
our own borders. In the march
of civilization, as applied to the
protection of public life and pub
lie property, we have fallen wO-
fully behind. We may lead the
globe in many things. We as
suredly lead it in crime. In %
per cert of the homicides of Ger
many. the guilty person is brought
to justice. In Spain, the number
