LET CRIMINALS PAY
HALF OF TRIAL COST
From the New York Times.

FROM Lie New YORK llnlc0.
l have not seer mention in any OF
the newspapers of the project to COM
pei convicted criminals to pay either
In cash or by labor one-half of the
penses OF their trial and subsequent
support. 1t sometimes happens that
wealthy criminals protract their trials,
and add greatly to the expenses of the
state. Should they not pay half of the
expenses If found guilty.
1t sometimes happens, also, in
crimes of violence. that the criminal
leaves his victim MANNED or crippled.
or, in the case of Il woman, with beauty
and hope gone, and after a period of
incarceration esumes the enjoyment
of his gains. 1t is possible that such
a man might be willing to pay the cost
of his defense and spend a few years
in prison to see the one he hated help
less and poor.
In all cases. whether rich or poor, a
criminal should pay half his cost to
the tate. And this ON the ground of
simple honesty and justice. in which
he criminal sorely needs Il practical
lesson. If poor, one-half his earnings
should go to his family, If he has one,
or those dependent on him, and the
other half help to pay what he has cost
the state. If the criminal is rich, be-
sides his contribution to the expenses
of the state he should contribute to
the support of his victim if helpless.
Such a division of his earnings might
reconcile the opponents OF prison labor
to the employment of convicts in the
industries, or at least in their self sup
port.
