The legislative appropriation in Michigan for state prisons was $1,772,250 an& for 1925 $2,179,250. The prison inmates have doubled while the state population has grown about 20 per cent. Jails Are Crowded is a fact,” Governor Groesbeck s, “that there has been a marked increase in a certain class of crimes, such as robbery and breaking and entering. The courts and the police have been occupied with a great mass of minor, petty violations. That is the real, so-called crime wave. The prohibition law has had nothing whatever to do with the increase in the prevailing serious type of crim- tains 1,115, with scores sleeping on the floor and the surplus overflow- ing into a dozen nearby county jail already burdened with federal pri oners. . Women Prisoners Fewer The Jlinois prison statistics show that the number of women prison- ers has decreased compared with a decade ago. Minnesota and Michi- gan figures show a similar decline. Reformatories for youthful pris- oners and first offenders, however, show as large or larger increase than the state prisons. Illinois reforma- tory inmates in a decade increased from 694 to 1,173. Kansas increased from 499 to 995. Nebraska’s new reformatory houses 227, where ten comprising! ® terrain of the state yin which to sert.

A wide vayicty of causes is suggested by judges and +| police officials, but for the crowded conditions in ‘almost every county jail, prohibition violations are al- most entirely responsible. = A decade ago correction institu- tions in Kansas cost the state $435, 894. This year the legislature ap- ropriated $934,567. Warden W. H. Mackey of the Kansas state pen tentiary says a large part of the in- crease in his prison population is due to automobile thefts and the bootlegger. Gov. Alex J. Groesbeck of Michigan, however, insists there is “no crime wave in this state, nor in the country at large. In 1920 there were 2,157 state prisoners in years ago the number negligib Iowa’s reformatory prisoners i creased from 675 to 945. Compara- tive figures of the total number of arrests in Detroit show that now the greater number are young men, be- tween 20 and 29. Business Crimes Increase Business crimes seem more preval- ent than ever before, says A. V. Lashley, operating director of the Missouri Association for Criminal Justice. The gunman escapes through an_ alley, into an automobile. The penman escapes through the ordi- nary processes of law, he said in an address to the Missouri Bar Asso- ciation. In a study of the county law enforcement officials’ duties, he pointed out the difficulties of con- trolling crime in St, Louis county, in a territory embracing 150,000 peo- ple, with the same machinery as ex- ists in remote Ozark mountain coun- ties of 10,000 people. inality in this. country. Court and prison records in Michigan’ show that the great majority of criminals responsible for the major offenses do not touch liquor at all.’ The increase of prisoners in Min- nesota state penitentiary and re- formatory from 1,646 to 1,907 in the past decade has been little higher than the normal ratio of population increase, but the county jail inmates have increased far above this pro- portion. Virtually all of the county jail.prisoners are prohibition law vi- olators. The per capita cost main- taining the prisoners in the state penitentiary has risen from $243.55 in_1915 to $438.98 in 1925. Illinois shows, also, a compara- tively small increase in state pris oners above the ratio of population increase, but almost universal con- gestion of county jails.

DAKOTA P. C. Remington, President. raham, Vice President and Cashier. \ P. C. Remington, Jr., and A. V. Sorenson, Asst. Cash, An editorial in a recent issue of Wallace’s Farmer put forth the following apprecia- tive tribute to efficiency: “We believe that if Standard Oil Com- pany brains were applied to the Iowa corn and hog industry, that the profits of Towa farmers could be fully three times as great, while at the same time the con- sumers of Iowa corn and hog products would be eyen better satisfied than today.” We recognize the fact that in naming the Standard Oil Company. (Indiana) the editor had in mind an efficiently managed business organization, and used this Com- pany merely as an sree of what may be accomplished by applying specialized intelligence to the problems of industry. This Company believes that new wealth accrues only through the intensive appli- cation of trained intelligence to practical and useful problems. The dividends which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) returns to its 50,000 stockholders each year, are due not to some miracle of oil—something unearned and unstriven for—byt to the efforts of men with trained minds, working within the Company organization; men who will- ingly and enthusiastically apply their intelligence without limit and without stint. These trained men of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) have built up, over a long period of years, such a substantial and comprehensive service as to meet completely the needs of the people of the Middle West. Reliable profits come only through satisfying service. This Company entered the oil business at a time when its possibilities were undreamed of. By.constant a plication, rigid economy, and advanced thinking, it developed these possibilities, finding that * every step ahead resulted in the creation ~ of useful products. It looked for profit- opportunities. In finding them, it greatly extended its field of usefulness to. the community. Now in nearly every home, farm and feoeg in the ten Middle Western states, this Company’s products are Tendering essential service. There is scarcely a family whose living standards have not been raised and satisfied by some one or more of the products manufactured by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). * Standard Oil Company General Office: Standard Oil Building : 910 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago
