ton policy: it was criminal and
ruinous to rush in by the millions
and SCOOP away the top soil with
no regard for the future; the Gov
eminent should do something
about the land racketeers who
were swarming through the West.
All that was just wind in the
willows. They got away with that
whopping big Credit Mobilier
gouge; the railroads passed the
buck to future generations by al
ways refunding and never paying
any debts. We ripped the soil off
one fertile area and rushed on to
another. The Messaba Range, the
great oil and coal fields, the
forests were gouged without
thought of conservation. We
passed the buck-to future genera
tionS.
One could go farther back for
an instance Of large-scale public
lawlessness to find the progenitorS
of racketeering Of today. It was
in 1906 that the Congress Of the
United States passed rigid law
forbidding the importation Of
slaves or the dealing in slaves. No
body paid any attention to 1t. The
remission of sin in this case later
cost lot Of blood.
EXPEDIENT
When criminal racketeerS be-
gan encroaching on honest trade
unioniSm, they thrived because
business men found it expedient
to submit to their extortion rather
than fight it out. When Brindell,
the labor racketeer, went to prison
in the early twentieS, there were
revelations of fake union gouging
which laid heavy burdens on the
New York construction industry.
They were absorbed and passed on
to the consumer.
The countless tiny tributaries of
initiation which swept to a ruinous
flood stage in 1929 included many
such feeders of racketeering, overt
or subtle. We can go on buck.
passing for a long time. but, in
time, the dam bursts. The laws
Of economics are not Knocked.
One thinks, of course, Of the
helpless little pantS-presser, pay
ing UP or else getting slug in his
head. Or the little restaurant
owner who was fined. There are
no pat answers here. The incul
cation of new public attitudes is
important.
An old Scotch gardener I knew
in my youth used to preach to me
about the sin of being sucker.
Lad" he used to say, "yOu're
on the side of, the devil when you
} let any one bleed you"
Just as a vague millenia
thought, isn't it remotely possible
: that in our thinking and acting
generally we will include resist
ance to extortion as a tenet Of
, public and private morality? Mr.
Dewey suggests a beginning.

terest to Talent. If one could be
forceful writer, gifted singer
a brilliant painter-why, nothing
else mattered. One might not
have much money, but that was OF
slight consequence. Talent, In

Edwin c. H1ll The brlgandS
were entrench e d in the deep
wilderness of the AbruzZi Noun
tains. All persons were forbidden
to give them as much as crumb
of bread or an inStant's shelter, on
pain of death or imprisonment. It
was a harsh measure, but 1t
worked. Law-abiding peasants and
townsmen became eager allies Of
the law, to save their own skins if
for no other reason. Italy, for
that era at least, was cleared OF
bandits.
In New York city. the 500 fine
assessed on a man, on charge OF
having submitted to eXtortion and
having withheld information from
the authorities is, believe, the
first instance in our racket war
fare in which the culpability OF
the victim has been recognized
and punished along with that Of
the extortionist. It is one Of many
interesting new facts Of Thomas
E. Dewey's houSecleaning, in
which the cyclonic young proSecu-
tor traps more rats than have
been taken in any other such
drive.
NEW TECHNIQUE
There are high hopes of con-
tinuing and Salutary renovation
Of the city, and the above, and
other incidents, suggest possible
ties of new technique which may
deprive our country of its I'M
enviable crime supremacy. We are
an easy-going people, and buck
passing has been one Of our major
sins.
In our expanding common
wealth, with new land, new from
tiers, undeveloped resources, 1t
always has been simpler and
easier, and usually safer, to sub
nit to a bit Of gouging here and
there than it would be to start
a fight. We always could pass the
extortion along to the consumer,
and for the consumer, too, there
were new highways Of opportunity
always opening.
We were rich enough to write
off a lot of major and minor crime
overhead and reach out for new
wealth. There were many Water
Street merchants. respectable
church-going citizens, who were

Captain Kidd. This alliance grew
up gradually, when the merchants
found it safer and more profitable
to join him raJner than to fight
him. For the first half of the
last century, our shipping was
mixed up with a lot of piratical
skulduddery, and the line between
honest and dishonest business was
often too thin to be traceable.
The Credit Mobilier gouge, by
which early-day railroad builders
got the taxpayers to pay for the
private enterprise, was just about
the biggest and most odorous rack
