AN IDEA OF
CRIME'S COST
HALF A MILLION PEOPLE LIVE
BY IT.
Not Less Tlinn a Httndiod Thottsnnd
Deilvo Their Livelihood from
Clime, While Not Themselves
Committing It An Interesting
Statistical Study.
I'lnln I he fliliaun TiIIikiip.
Not less than lOD.iiliO of the good clll
s.ons or this land llc by crimes which
they do not commit, Although among
the law-abiding nnd often most te
spected citizens of their several com
munities, they are supported entirely
by offenses against tho law and against
tight. Their living depends on the en
ergies or 2,Mi,oiiO other persons who
commit the offenses. Weie these 1!"0,
tiuo suddenly to become upright citizens
and cense to break the laws, not only
the I00.0W) but four (lines as many more
who depend upon them would be
thrown out of lliclr livelihood ami musi
depend upon iluirlty for suppoil until
some other oci iipatlon should he found
for them.
If It he true that l here Is honesty
among thieves this lime cannot be as
far distant as might be supnosed, for
by the linllonnl census it appears that
the country Is rapidly approaching; n
time when all the Inhabitants shall be
malefactors, and therefore, ai cording
to the pioverb, being honest among
lliemselvis, will no longer reoulre su
pervision. In 1S.10 Ini I one out ol" every
::.4-'.' inhabitants was a i rimlnal. In
IS70 thieves and other evil doeis had
Increased so that on" out or every
1,171 Inhabitants served n term In jail.
In IS!m one out of every 1,00." was In
carcerated, nnd the proportion has
steadily Increased, so that now It prob
ably appioxlmates one out ol" every ,()0.
To look after these evil doers the
rnlted Slates maintains a police force
estimated at 7S,0u0 men, losting an
nually more than $r,o,t)()(),000 for their
support. In H2 of the chief cities of the
land there are over 13,000 police, whose
maintenance costs over flll.OOD.OOO. In
addition to these police Is a great army
of men who are employed in llie ma
chinery of trying and punishing crim
inals. They aie police magistrates,
trial judges, clerks, ba lift's, jailers and
penitential y guards, in all amounting
to several thousand more. On an av
erage one glial l is required Tor every
1ii piisoneis in jail. On the 1st ol' June
tills- car there weie upward or STi.OOO
prisoners In jails In this country. Tills
is taken as u fair daily average, so that
there must have been 5...100 guards car
ing for them.
This army ol' lno.Ono men engaged In
catching, trying, guarding and watch
ing thieves and oilier evil doers, reck
oning at the usual rale for this coun
try of one lo a family of five, is the
support of .",00,000 persons. The cost
to a nation In wages, court expenses
ami support or these men, not counting
the civil courts, is not less than $l.r,,
000,000. All this expense is brought
upon the nation through the ileslrp or
many people to bieak the laws. The
expense is even gi cater than this, ror
there are the criminals In jail to be
red and housed, which, ir llie average
cost Is but little more than $100 per
criminal, amounts to $10,000,000.
AS MUCH AS PENSIONS.
U "Bill Sykes," as the Hnglish term
the malefactor, should therefore sud
denly reform he would save the nation
an expense of $13,',000,000 annually, in
addition to what he steals and the dam
age he does. fJut what a calamity he
would plunge It Into. Of the criminals
out of jail probably 20,000 have no other
occupation. Add these to the S.",000 who
would be released and these again to
the 100,000 honest folk thrown out of
employment, and the nation would be
left In some such plight as it was at
the closf of the ifebelllon, with 200,000
men out of employment lo be absorbed
Into various lines or trade, and these
same persons with all dependent upon
them to be pensioned and supported un
til they could be cared for. The ex
pense of the pensioning and llie pen
sion bureau would piobably equal
the present policing expense for n time,
but the. problem of caring for all the
people and Uniting them employment
would be gicat.
