LOT plhns are now under way to make
Sew York the 1rst trumpless state in
the country and to change Il from the
paradise OF panhandlers, which Il now Is
70 n territory to be Stunned by every
professional hobo. OF the 10000 tranps
in the whole country figures show that
about $1,000 or this army Of social para
sites are always to be found in this state
and about 1000 in this city alone. More
than 5000 90 year is spent i'm this state
for the maintenance Of this army in
ials and other institutions while the cost
of the damage to property and crimes
committed together with general contrl-
buttons brings the total M to $4,000 900
While tho plan by which It IL proposed to
wipe out this wastcful expenditure and at
the same time eliminate the tramp prob
lem has never been tried in this country
It has proven SO successful abroad that
there Is no doubt as to It's efficiencv here.
1t proposes to establish somewhere in the
state a tramp farm colony to which va
grants can be sent and where the products
Of their labor will be used toward their
maintenance. Tho professional hobo for
whom work has no attractions will doubt
less give the state a wide berth while
those sent to the farm will be given an
opportunitv to become useful c,tizens
