PER CAPITA COST “OP ENFORCING DRY LANES 32 CRNTS Figures Compiled by Wicker- sham Body; Figures for ‘S\, North Dakota Given Washington, Aug. 21.—(7)}—A per capita expenditure by the people of the United States of $0.32 annually was estimated Friday by the Wicker- sham report on “the cost of crime” ‘to be the price of federal prohibition enforcement efforts. Selecting the fiscal year ended June 30, 1930 for study, the report showed federal expenditures for pro- hibition approximating 1.03 per cent of its total expenditures for all pur- ‘poses. In one of the most complete au- thoritative analyses of prohibition costs ever published, the report esti- mated state by state the cost to the government of enforcing the dry law, leaving out of consideration all ex- penditures by the states themselves and also the $9,000,000 appropriation for the prohibition bureau, it split up the costs of marshals, ‘prosecutors, courts and criminal enforcement as follows: Minnesota $161,894, Montana $86,- 306, North Dakota $12,026, South Da- In the maze of figures upon the high. cost of crime in the United States, special reference was made to the expenditures for securing justice in Fargo, N. D. A huge total of $249,551,015 was reported expended to this end alone during the fiscal year 1930 by 300 of the nation’s 365 cities of over 25,000 population. ‘The average per capita cost of criminal justice in the cities studied was placed at $5.47. Goldthwaite H. Dorr and Sidney P. Simpson, of the New York bar, who engineered the study for the commis- sion, reported these total figures rep- resented the effort of “hundreds of investigators throughout the country”, and constituted data never before available. The part played by Fargo was listed as follows: criminal police $48,929; criminal prosecution $2,170; criminal courts $11,947; penal institutions §8,- 694; total $71,740; and per capita $2.51. Cost of administering criminal law in North Dakota was listed as follows: criminal police $22,437; prose- cution $13,991; district courts $32,035; commissioners $452; total $68,916; and ed the cost to North Dakota and its surrounding states of their penal and corrective treatment in 1928 as fol-| lows: (figures for Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota given in order) institutions for adults, $1,- 014,508, $200,457, and $175,665; insti- tutions for minors, $373,224; $171,841, | . tutions and $59,561; parole agencies, $362; and $3,633; total, $1,368,080, $273,660, and $238,859; annual capita expeditures, $541, $548, and 3.345, ers coneh of such treatment in all the 48 states was estimated to total $51,721,122, or an annual per capital expenditure of $.423, ‘Warning was given that the fig- ures of the individual states should not be used as a “basis for judging the relative efficiency and economy of the penal and corrective systems of the several states. Costs Not Conclusive “A low cost per inmate”, the report said, “may mean an efficient and economical institution; or it may mean a parsim¢ run, ineffi-|- cient institution, which makes rather than rehabilities criminals and which in reality costs the tax paying pub- ic more money in the Jong run-than an efficient, well-run institution oper- ated at a greater ite cost. . - “The total expenditure for all states during the census year 1928 for penal and correctional institutions airman Oscar H.
