Making Laws Doubly Profitable.
Pennsylvania has a state food
bureau which gets results II not
only serves to protect the people of
the state from the menace OF impure
food, but II turns into the state
treasury a revenue while It works.
When such a bureau was proposed
as an adjunct TO the state govern
ment, certain elements opposed It on
the ground that It would simply be-
come a sinecure imposing an addi-
tional financial burden for its main
tenance upon the taxpayers. But
these elements. which, OF course,
were not stating their real reasons
of opposition, now see that they had
resorted TO q very flimsy argument
10 beat the bill
According 10 the Philadelphia In
quirer. this bureau has paid for Its
operation the first year and turned
into the states strong box beside
the sum OF $4,000. This revenue
comes in the form OF fines levied
upon those convicted under the Law
through the fundamentally of the
bureau. Eight hundred and eight
cases were prosecuted and convic-
tions obtained In all but one Evil

II is perfectly plain that the law

Here is the difference between a
sinecure OF a dead-letter and a live
law actually enforced. II is a good
example Of this character when
backed by public sentiment and
administered by a public servant In
stead OF a private tool They said
In Pennsylvania that the Law would
