EASY MONEY
by Charming Pollock

|" HE other day, while buried deep in a
newspaper story of park planned for
New York, stumbled across curious
item: Many years ago, Arnold Rothstein. the
gambler whose murder was metropolitan
sensation in 1928 acquired several hundred
acres of swampland which he expected to sell
to the city. On this land he erected number
of houses, not to be lived in, but as an excuse
for boosting his price. The f1imsy buildings
were set upon posts that, in turn, were set
upon few bricks, because digging postholes
would have been more expensive.
The proposed sale wasn't made, and even
tually New York took over the property for
unpaid taxes. Working on drainage, municipal
engineers unearthed peat moss, the humus
used in gardening and agriculture. The peat
moss brought more than half a million dollars.
If Rothstein had devoted fractional part of
the ingenuity and industry of his attempted
swindle to digging one honest posthole for
one honest house, he would have made many
times the profit he failed to make by fraud.
We have five million criminals in the
United States, who cost us fifteen billion
dollars year - but that doesn't include the
cost to the criminals. | know a confidence
man to whom once demonstrated this with
his own figures. Unusually intelligent and
capable, at the age of seventy my friend finds
himself destitute. asked him. DO you think
you could have averaged $40 week in trade
or profession? If 50, the time you have spent
in various lock-ups has cost you nearly
$4,000 not counting what you've spent
trying to keep out of them"
of the far greater number of men and women
who aren't criminals - who don't even think
of themselves as crooked but who do "chisel''
a bit - is the belief that they can get away
with it." the mistaken idea that it gets
them" something. Several years ago, in
spectors from New York bureau of weights
and measures made surprise calls on 200 small
butchers and grocers, and caught considerably
more than half of them cheating There was
little publicity and all the culprits were let
off with warning, but four of them had shops
in my neighborhood; dozen months later
l went in search of those shops. Three had
disappeared, and the fourth merchant. a
delicatessen dealer, told me- Business is
rotten" But the delicatessen man on the next
corner had just doubled the size of his place.
Almost no one in our vicinity ever knew
that these tradesmen were arrested; certainly
no one remembered it. But the professor who
lives across the hall from me complained that
the chap whose business is rotten" had a
trick of doing mental arithmetic to his own
advantage Il got tired of it, and quit trading
there" the professor said. Also, he mentioned
his WEAKNESS and desertion to other people in
our building. and they quit. The tricky mental
arithmetic may have given this dealer an
extra two or three dollars week; it cost him
many times that. Nobody can get away
Evening star., 1941-09-28

with it, and it never got nobody nothin'."
That goes for every chicanery from filching
a few postage stamps to padding million
dollar payroll. A friend of mine had employed
a neighboring nurseryman to care for his sum-
mer residence during his absence. Last spring,
he received bill for two gardeners working,
we'll say, April 2l and o. 1t just happened
that those were peculiarly warm days, and
my friend had spent them on his little estate.
The gardeners hadn't. The nurseryman was
''in" Sic and ''out" my friends business,
which amounted to about $500 year.
An insurance company drove sharp bar
gain with another friend whose car had been
wrecked by drunken driver. 1t was modest
car, and my friend is very modestly pros
porous. but his best friend owned a wholesale
business that operated sixty-four trucks. all
insured by the sharp dealing company. My
friend just happened to mention his expert
ence to his friend, and now the sixty-four
trucks pay premiums to another company
ON THE other hand, only last week the head
of big tailoring establishment in Canada
told me he owed his start to an American who,
twenty years ago, ordered suit to be finished
for wearing back to New York 1t wasn't, and
the purchaser had to pay customs duties in
consequence: 50 the tailor voluntarily re-
mitted them when the bill was paid. Every
second American customer tells me that
story" the tailor related. land adds, That's
why came to you.
One time when l had Christmas dinner
with the inmates of Sing Sing Penitentiary,
one of them had known as the secretary of
famous theatrical producer told me story
he had heard from fellow convict. This chap
and another habitual criminal had become
interested in newcomer "a lad whose
career of petty offenses hadn't yet hardened
his face or robbed him of a certain charm.
When you've served your time" they in
structed the boy, go to small town, start a
small shop and earn a reputation for strict
honesty. Lean backward in square dealing
pay your bills the minute they're due and
make everybody like and trust you. Well
provide the money, and when Ws're through
here, we'll call and tell you what to do next"
In a little city in northern New York, the
plot succeeded beyond the fondest hopes of
its originators. When they emerged from
prison. they found their protege in public
office and in control of the county's finances
Seeing fortune within their grasp. they visited
his impressive rooms to divulge the second
half of their scheme. The young man heard
them out, and said, Sorry, fellows. I've been
honest five years, and like it. like being
liked, and respected, and feeling hand on
my shoulder without wondering whether lisa
cops. What's more, I've got more money now
than ever saw before Here's the cash you
advanced; start shop somewhere, lean back
ward in square dealing, and if anybody calls
to tell you what to do next, miss my guess
if you don't tell him where to CO."

LIAEHOUSE BLUES. A young couple
we know recently became the foster
parents of little English refugee girl.
Hildy, aged nine, came from a poor
Cockney family who had lived all their
lives in London's Limehouse section.
What with long months in AFRAID
shelters. she was bedraggled little girl
when she finally reached America.
So, Immediately, her new mother

one night she looked up through face
full of suds: you folks don't want
