JAIL SENTENCES THE
ONLY SOLUTION

In telling OF the conference OF
county attorneys held at Cheyenne
at the request of Governor Carey
issued several weeks ago the Chey-
enne Tribune says:
Jail sentences are the only solu-
tion Of the question of handling pro-
hibition law violators, constituting
the largest class with which the
authorities have to deal. This ap-
peared to be the concensus of opinion
of the county attorneys Of Wyoming
gathered here for an all-day confer
ence on law enforcement. Nearly
every one who spoke on the prob
lem said the system of imposing
fines had failed and that placing the
guilty behind the bars was the, only
means left Of bringing an end to the
present reign of bo%otlegging.
Stansbury, Anderson and Mentzer
were named by Chairman Purcell to
work out changes in the Wyoming
laws to secure better enforcement
work. The committee will report at
the next meeting. which probably
will be held in Cheyenne a year
hence. At that time bills will be
drawn up and made ready for Pre-
sentation to the next legislature.
Every county attorney in the state
attended the conference. They were
addressed by the following state
officials: Law Enforcement Com
missioner A. 8. Roach, Humane
Commissioner W. G.. Harris, Sec
rotary NJ. f: Pickett Of the board OF
livestock commissioners, Veterin-
arian B. F. Davis. Chairman Claude
L.. Draper OF the board of euuaiiza-
ton. Food Commissioner 8. Stanley
Cfeenbaum, Secretary of State Will
liam E. Chaplin and Attorney General
w. L. Walls. United States District
Attorney A. D. Walton discussed the
federal governments part in the
work.
Officers elected were: M. w. Pur-
cell OF Casper, chairman; C. S. Hark-
in of WOrland, vice chairman; Geo.
w. Patterson of Laramie, secretary:
Paul Bachelor of Lusk, assistant
secretary.
Shortly before adjourning the con-
vention at 6 P. NJ, Chairman Purcell
expressed the belief that the confer
ence had started the ball rolling for
an effective working force in Wyo-
ming during the years to come. He
said 1t would prove the nucleus of an
organization which. he hoped, soon
would include all sheriffs, state Off
cials. federal officials. and all other.
law enforcement officers. He thought
that within a short while they would
be working in harmonious co-opera-
ton to get all laws enforced.
Governor Carey, who called the
attorneys into conference and who
opened the session, was unable to be
present at the close. On his behalf
Attorney General Walls thanked the
county officials for attending and
congratulated them upon the interest
shown.

worse by not completely burning the

present garbage collectors are
grossly inefficient and negligent in

ECONOMICS OF BooTLEGGING

That a fine is no deterrent to vio-
lation of the prohibition law, but
that Jail sentences may serve to dis
courage thee promiscuous manufac-
ture and sale of hard" liquor, is the
conclusion reached by a majority of
county attorneys when they me with
the governor in Cheyenne early last
week to discuss the matter of more
effective law enforcement.
The purpose of the meeting Is de-
serving praise, but the conclusion of
the conference cannot be accepted in
the light OF a real discovery. That
the infliction of a penalty which can
be paid in money will not noticably
reduce the number Of violations of
the prohibition law is a simple mat
ter of logic which the prosecuting at
torneys undoubtedly worked out for
themselves long ago, but which they
haven't had occasion before to dis
cuss in public.
One might even argue that the in
Fiction of a fine for violation of the
prohibition law is as much a matter
OF economics as 1t is of law. The
great majority of such violations
arise because Of the desire OF the
violator to make money. Therefore
II ~" as hioltSi VI lobAS thAo
II the profits Of the Illicit trade in
liquor are in excess OF the fine i'm
posed when the trafficker is caught
and adjudged guilty the imposition
of such a penalty is not going to in
fluence the guilty one 10 adopt some
other pursuit-and the profits are
said to be considerably in excess OF
the amount of the fines. 1t would
be an equally effective restraint
against theft to permit the court tc
fine a thief 500 for stealing $1,000
Unless the bootlegger Is blind tc
modern business methods-and un
doubtedly his vision in this direction
is very good-he figures fines as Z
part Of the overhead cost Of doini
business, and in the final analyst!
not he but his customers pay tn
fine.
If the prosecuting attorneys wisl
to make their efforts toward Law
endorsement ~ effective Al POSSIBLE
they will endeavor to build up q pub
lie sentiment sufficiently strong t
induce the courts, before which pro
hibition cases are tried to fall Il
line. 1t will do little good for tn
law enforcing officers to demand jai
sentences II the courts are Of . min
to impose fines instead. The courts
however, should be equally as aliv
