1t is a fortunate thing for Dis

Instances were recited by the

"Quoddy power" would remain about
the same, while the cost of steam
generated power would drop to 4.16
mills per XVIII. "Quoddy power"
could not be sold in the metropolitan
area of Boston, said the report, "be-
cause Of the prohibitive cost Of

In the face of such adverse find

cies, the reason for tentative approval
Of the picturesque Embarrassing

worth while to spend thirty or forty
millions of dollars to demonstrate the
fact that the tides can be made to
generate electricity. But what then?
The Federal Power Commission found
that unused water power In Maine
could be developed more cheaply and
that no market now exists for
"Quoddy power"
"AS Maine goes, so goes the Nation"
according to an old political maxim.
Is the method of spending money for
"Quoddy power" in Maine indicative
of other plans for the rest of the

New York's Public Enemies.

An extraordinary situation has been
disclosed in New York with the ap-
proval by Gov. Lehman of a bill
passed by the Legislature, known as
the public enemy law" and the publi-
cation by the police department of an
official list of gangs against the men,
bers of which concentrated drive is
about to start under this new enact
ment. Several score of individuals are
thus marked for attention, COM
prising seven major gangs engaged in
racketeering in various fields. All of
these men are well known to the
police as extortioners, swindlers and
exploiters of criminal enterprises. Yet
they have continued to operate in
their chosen field of crime for a long
period without effective hindrance.
Now it is planned to go after them
under the new law, which in one of its
terms is Q material departure from
the existing statutes. It defines as
guilty of "disorderly conduct" punish
able with a maximum penalty of six
months in jail or two years on proba-
ton, any person who is engaged in An
illegal occupation or who bears an
evil reputation and who consorts with
persons Of Q like reputation. Thus the

"Quoddy Power" I"

The most striking factor in the
approval by the newly created Ad-
visory Committee on Allotments of
an initial expenditure of ten million
dollars of work-rehef money for devel-
opment of electrical power at Passa-
naquoddy Bay, Me-, by harnessing the
Bay of Fundy tides, is that such ap-
proval runs counter to recommenda-
tions previously made against the
project.
For "Quoddy power" Is no new idea.
The project ran the gantlet Of P.
w. A. and the Federal Power Com
mission once before and came out
worsted. p. w. AS Board Of Review
pointed out that the Federal Power
Commission found that "Quoddy
power is not cheap power" With

offense against which the law Is aimed
is not specifically that Of the violation
Of existing statutes. but association
with persons Of evil repute, and the
penalty in case Of conviction Is not
approximate to that attaching to the
crimes Of which the offenders are
believed, in fact known, to be guilty.
This Is q left-handed way of reach
ing the gangsters and rscketeers, and
it may not be an effective way. And,
moreover, 1t is avowedly experimental.
The new statute will run for only one
year. Furthermore, it is Of doubtful
constitutionality, for it specifically
places the burden of proof upon the
accused, which is contrary to the
trend Of law and to the practice OF
criminal cases. 1t will require speedy
work on the part of the police-the
local forces being aided by Federal
agents under new hook-up Of inves-
tigating authorities-to get convictions
and supporting decisions from the
higher courts within the period of the
laws duration. which Is limited to
twelve months.
Here, then, Is the situation: Scores
of men known to be engaged in GRIM
inal practices, costing the community
an immense sum in higher prices for
goods and leading to assaults, maim-
ings and murders, so well known that
they can be named by the police and
thus warned of impending prosecu-
ton, and if convicted Of "disorderly
conduct" for having evil regulations
and consorting with persons of like
reputation subject to a penalty of six
months in Jail or two years on proba-
tion. 1t is not at all likely that the
members of these gangs who are now
listed as public enemies" will suffer
greatly under this new arrangement.
They have their organized defenses,
skilled counsel, adept in evasion and
delays and all the deYices of their
crooked craft, to prevent conviction.
The enactment of this new statute
is virtually confession that law en-
forcement in New York has literally
broken down. There is little ground
for encouragement in this novel ex-
pedient for the suppression of crime
in Americas largest city. Even the
assistance of the highly efficient Fed
eral agencies Of pursuit and prose-
cution will not avail greatly in max
ing effective a statute of doubtful
validity which will expire in q year.
