CRIME COSTS THE STATE
MORE THAN BOIL WEEV|L
SOLICITOR GENERAL OF Full
TON CIRCUIT TELLS OF
CRIMES AWFUL TOLL.
l6 PER CENT OF ALL INCOME
Million Criminals, Men and Women,
Waging Constant War Against So
ciety. Each Costs an Average of
Ten Thousand Dollars Annually.

ADVANTAGEOUS costs Georgia
more in day than the boil weevil
does in decade; and its costs the
United States in monetary terms
alone not less than ten billion dol
lars a year.
This is the startling declaration OF
John A. Boykin, solicitor general OF
the superior court here, who two or
three years ago unearthed a notori~
Gus bunco ring which had feeced
thousands of victims in various parts
of the country.
In stating that criminals and crime
cost the people of the United States
at least $l0,0OO,0O0,000 a year Mr..
Boykin said that this sum, as statis-
tics showed, is equal to about 10 per
cent of the total national income.
Cost Taxpayers Heavily.
Since one of every 100 persons is
criminal, every criminal costs So
ciety an average of $4,000 annually"
said Mr.. Boykin. 1T is estimated that
100000 men and women are waging
war against society, with about one
quarter of that number in jails or
prisons all the time.
The coStliest thing in the world
is crime. The detention, prosecution,
punishment and prevention OF crime
cost taxpayers from $3,000,000,000 to
$4,000, 100000 a year This sum in
cludes the expense of maintaining po-
lice systems, courts, jails, prisons,
penitentiaries and other institutions
for the care of detectives and delin-
quents.
THE toll which criminals take
from society in one form or another
is estimated at around $3,500,000, 900.
Hard to Enforce Law.
The only way to stop this lawless-
ness, which is greater than in any
country on earth, is to stimulate in
terest in voting so that the right kind
of prosecuting officers will be elected.
Another thing is public interference
with the courts should stop. Hardly
has a criminal been convicted before
some one starts petition to get him
a pardon. The criminal should be
made to pay the penalty of his crime
and the more vigorously the law is
enforced the more will crime be re-
dueed."
The most productive form OF dis
honest enterprise-sale of fraudulent
stocks and bonds, bucket shop opera
tons, land swindles and confidence
games.
