lawlessness are owned by social
leaders and moral uplifters.
II might surprise you, dear old
reader, Il you truly were told hou
many moonshiners, blindpiggers
redlight women and gamblers are
tenants In buildings owned by Su.
perior's kings and queens Of society
business and finance. s-.-
Can the rental agents Of Sup.
erior truly say that they carefully
scrutinize the reputation, character
and business OF the men and won.
en- to whom their buildings are
leased? Do the rental agents assure
themselves that their tenants will
carry on q lawful and legitimate
business? ~
| Existing conditions in Superior
do not 80 indicate.
Some Of the more prominent
moral uplifters OF Superior loudly
proclaim their desire for strictel
law enforcement, but many of them
do not mean what they say. They
are talking to impress the outside
world.
When Superior citizens who pro-
fess q burning desire for moral and
religious Improvement in their home
city by means of stricter law en-
forcement, they must be ready and
willing to forego excessive rentals
that they collect from law1ess folks
and underworld denizens. They
! must be willing to forego imposi-
tion of fines as a means Of income
and decrease in taxation rates.
When that glad day comes, greater
pressure can be made on the peace
officers to more strictly and
thoroughly enforce the laws against
the underworld folk.
