that way II is easy to see where the remedy
must lie."
New York is not the only State where
these curiositics of tho criminal law exist
Apart from this popularity OF tho law with
reference to life sentences. there is abund-
ant opportunity for change in established
penalties in many States, AS the law now
stands in New York and with slight varia-
lions in n good many other States, tho
maximum penalty for burglary in the third
degree is five years and for burglary in the
second degree is ten years. To remedy
this situation the Judges OF tho Court. of
General Sessions are preparing recommen-
dations to be made to the Legislature for
materially increasing these penalties. While
there is 30 maximum for burglary in the
first degree the law fixes the minimum at
ten years which these judges regard as in
sufficient and will ask for a longer minimum
term.
Perhaps it would be we'll for the Legis-
latures OF all the States whose courts arc
similarly handicapped for lack OF authority
to impose penalties which would prove a
terror to overhaul their statutes with a view
II making the punishment OF criminals both
certain and severe.
