H (Official City State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives pa NEW YORK BOSTON } A CHICAGO The Effect of ‘The Fix’ { If you ever wonder why it is that such a city as Chi- ‘eago continues to be overrun with gunmen who have ‘their complete freedom despite the fact that any school ‘enild can enumerate their crimes by the dozen, it might {pay you to consider a recent article in The Nation by iLawrence Howe. “ ‘Mr. Howe was a detective sergeant in Chicago for two {decades, and consequently speaks with the authority of }long experience. Pointing out that Chicago has 100 times jas many robberies annually as London, and 12 times as many as all of Canada, he proceeds to answer the ques- } tion, “How come?” ! ‘To begin with, he points out that Chicago's geograph- ical location, her pre-eminence as a railroad center, her ‘ proximity to state boundaries and the nearness of half a ‘dozen state prisons condemn her, inevitably, to more than her share of crooks. But that isn’t all of it. He | goes on to repeat what he once told a candidate for may- or, who had asked him if it would be possible to rid Chi- cago of criminals. “1 assured him,” he writes, “that if I were permitted to pick 25 detectives, trustworthy and competent officers ‘who knew the underworld, and had charge of their activ- ities, I would undertake to rid Chicago of all professional crooks in 60 days, provided the mayor would carry out his part of the program. His part would be to see that when we made an arrest and presented sufficient, reli- able, conclusive evidence to prove the man guilty, there would be no fixing of the case. A conviction must fol- low. + “The judges, state's attorneys, court clerks.and -politi- cians must not be allowed to be bought by. the accused in : an effort to thwart justice. They must be invulnerable to all approaches, whether of bribery, polities ‘or friend- ship. ‘The candidate for the mayoralty recognized the futility of attempting such a drastic reform.” It is that final sentence that sticks in one’s memory. “The candidate for the mayoralty recognized the futility pf attempting such.a drastic reform.” Why? Simply, be- tause the “fix”"—the use of extralegal methods to gain special favors—is such an integral RN ae municipal government that trying to root it is ace cepted, by men familiar with such matters, as an utter- ly hopeless task. ‘This, in turn, obviously means that the country's war on its criminal class is, just at present, decidedly a losing struggle. Favoritism is too deeply entrenched. Scoundrels have too many infheentiat friends. If this were Chicago's hard luck alone it would not be so bad. But it isn't. Chicago is not very unlike other American cities. It is just bigger. Other cities duplicate its faults. Mr. Howe's remarks apply to most big cities, Coming Down to Earth Aviation is coming down to earth. A survey by Clarence -M. Young, assistant secretary of commerce for aeronautics, shows that the airplane man- ufacturing industry has had a severe shakedown during the last few years. In 1927, when the stirring transatlantic flights had made the nation superlatively air-minded, there were 240 airplane menufaoturers, The latest Department of Com- merce records show 41 survivors, Late in 1928 it was con- Midently predicted that the 1929 production of planes ‘would run around 10,000. -Only ‘half that number were ’ wpuilt. During the first six months of 1930 the total pro- was 1700 ships, including 350 for the army and -Ravy, and it is unlikely that the year’s mark will be more than 3500. . Although plane production is decreasing, Department ‘of Commerce records show that ships in service are being used more than ever. At present United States transport Ines are flying 100,000’ miles daily with mail, passengers and express. Two years ago the total was 65,000 miles a All of which shows that the aviation industry 1s being of transportation. It is.noteworthy,. however, that the Dip-hip-hooray atmosphere has departed as airplanes Become-more common, Every day, Bismarck housewives hear planes humming ‘overhead and never look up from their work. A new airplane attracts little more notice than a new automo- Wile. The novelty has worn off and that fact makes it ¥ The Decay of a Theory It is interesting to wonder just what that old English economist, Thomas Malthus, would think and say if he maid gets look at the world of 1930. | A number of years ago Malthus begat a great wave wil i ; ‘Ts did @ good deal to spread gloom among the in- who are usually gloomy enough without any % AY; however, Malthus’ reasoning sounds quaint and of suffering from dearth, the world is suf- i I has cut loose altogether too lavishly. The tillers of the soll are suffering because the world has too much to eat. But food is not the only necessity of life; and the con- ditions in cther fields are the same. Factories in Detroit and in Essen, in or partly idle, simply because they are too productive. ‘They made things faster than people could use them, and now they have to wait for the surplus to be con- sumed. All of which seems to leave Malthus and his famous 12 | theory high and dry on a sand bar, with the tide ebbing farther each da;. ‘The fact is, of course, that’the increase in population tends to slow down, for a variety of reasons, after reach- ing a certain point, while men have discovered ways of making the earth than was the case formerly. Malthus could not foresee either of these developments; so his theory, once formid- ably buttressed by unassailable logic and demonstrable facts, has collapsed. ‘That, by the way, is what often happens to profound theories. Our own age has its own theories, all un- shakable just at present—and all, very likely, due to ex- plode under the eyes of our grandchildren. That is a good fact to keep in mind. Don't believe anything too im- plicitly. Analyzing Crime On September 1, the compilation of statistics on law violations began to func- tion. The bureau, according to the Department of Justice, does not represent a new idea. It has long been advo- cated and has been tried in a smaller way by various Police associations, but with little success due to lack of cooperation between states. Its operation by the Fed- eral government will make it possible to analyze crime statistics in this country and throughout the world. Such a bureau may prove to be of inestimable value in the fight against crime. In the past we blindly forward without sufficient knowledge on which to base conclusions. It is generally recognized that scientific knowledge is necessary to society if it is to achieve the utmost in efficiency in apprehending and convicting criminals. Perhaps the greatest obstacle in the path of crime suppression has been the crime reformers themselves with their incessant efforts to burden the American peo- ple with more restrictive laws. It is to be hoped that these well meaning zealots will learn from indisputable facts that crime has increased in direct ratio to the in- crease in the volume of legislation. ' A Word for the Pessimists President Hoover's recent speech at Cleveland was worth listening to, A non-political address dealing with economic conditions, it displayed the president at his best. Especially worth attention was this remark: “The economic fatalist believes that these crises are in- evitable and bound to be recurrent. I would remind these pessimists that the same thing was once cholera and smallpox.” There is a world of good sense in that paragraph. No believer in progress can fail to agree with it. It is the/the diplomatic service and only attitude of mind that will ever make possible a| tioned successively at Paris, Vienna steady, uninterrupted era of evenly-distributed pros- perity. \ Encouraging Si, ‘There is one bright ray of hope that has-been generally overlooked in all the pessimistic discussion of the busi- Hiess depression. The cost of living is now six per cent lower than it was last year at this time and is at the lowest point since 1918. In other words, general wages could have dropped more than five per cent withdut af- fecting the buying power of the worker.

Everyone should fast at least once each week, even when in good health, as it would help them to continue enjoying good health. This does not apply to very young children. Fasting rids the body of poisons which cause nervousness; it conserves energy, the restoration of energy being equivalent to curing dis- ease. In short, there is no remedy\ known to medical science that is so effective in every way as fasting. SL i BARBS i A writer declares, “We talk too much. We see too much. We listen too much.
