THE REMEDY FOR IT ALL ARTICLE No. 3 N A recent notorious case three . grand juries were conducting separate investigations of the same crime. Three prosecutors were seeking solution of the crime and conviction of the same criminal. Three state governments were trying to find what they ought to do about it. During this time the criminal was living a riotous life on the proceeds of his endeavors. That is not unusual, but it is ridiculous. ‘Fhe cost is beyond all sense and reason. It is as eriminal as the crime under investigation. A man shot a man in New York. He ‘dragged the body to New Jersey and dumped it there. Then he dashed to Delaware to hide out. They found him there. Three investigations were begun to determine what to do with, ‘him and where to do it. Two extraditions were necessary to bring the }killer: to. trial.-Mounting taxes-and‘in-~ finite delay for offended society !* That is a simple case. Take any three states and counties and thesame would be true. All this abets the criminal. He runs’ to another State solely to accomplish the very delay that accrues. While. juries meditate what to do shyster lawyers produce a habeas corpus and the criminal has flown the coop before there is any legal instrument to hold him. This was all too \frequently true when the killing was & gang one and the habeas financed by millions in bootleg money. It is equally all too true that the prosperity and safety of the criminal have been predicated upon his money and its corruptive power. Legal technicalities have served to liberate. many a killer, and those technicalities have been discovered and allowed only because of influence. The connection between the police trous faced by society. Perfect it and society is utterly defenseless. It has come to.its greatest fruition under prohibition because of lack of sympathy for the law and the ease with which millions have trickled into unworthy palms. The criminal always has it on the police who have taken bribes. They have if on prosecutors. seeking re-election and judges dependent upon the same thing. It oF made a vicious circle. Well-planned murder possible toe detect and convict. This ent lack af motive in people who had opportunity to. kiN’ .Wemay know but we cannot prove them in court. So murder becomes easy. It was easy because of this connection between the ' law and the law-breaker. Such con' nections are “inevitable in great cities with laws like prehibition battering at the foundations of honest enforce+ ment. Now how break up that connection? With bootleggers turned racketeers and kidnapers, how handle them? The kidnaping will die away because no one can protect it long. The racketeering will continue ~because busi-ness finds it cheaper to pay tribute than to risk life and property fighting. Yet we must break up the rackets. It is my judgment that federal action is the only solution. Uncle Sam Baer . : with his long arm can reach over ! extraditions, He can batter down alliance between law and crime. He ean step into a city and demand the facts. He can do that because he will not long remain in any one city. Not leng—enough for his officers to get tangled in the web of dirty money that flows in the urban streets of America. The federal officer may not be more honest inherently than the local one. . But he has:an esprit. de corps which only passing contact with local conditions never can shatter. 1 favor a’ national police force for criminal investigation and prosecution. country soon will be forced to demand it.

They will have at their fingertips a complete international identification bureau. They will use radio, telegraph, telephone, photography, fingerprints, bertillon measurements. Use, in fact, every science Known to -criminal detection. And they will succeed in their job only as they succeed in the individual tasks of solution laid upon their shoulders. And more than that, they will walk through absurd extradition folderol as a fireman goes through a wisp of smoke. against a county er a city or a state. a _politically-controlled organization dependent for a living upon the votes of a few communities. Crime will be a high menace to the decency of life, the administration of business and the sanctity of the home. It will be treated as such. Then solution will be sure in the vast. majority of cas Then‘ prosécution willbe genuine and speedy and efficacious. Then a change of. .venue:will’ temper justice with merey and ‘‘mercenary’” with justice. Until then the country will stagger along under ever-increasing police and prosecution. costs. It will carry the endless burden of county bonds and county taxes: And by every {ndication, crime. will constantly increase. How many of America’s great cities are solvent today? Why? : America, with the most outrageous murder rate ever known to a civilized land, is in my judgment, the most lawabiding nation on earth. This is true because America stands for more ridiculous and politicat-made laws than any other country. ‘Technical legal expressions are the fruit of legalized istence. They have specialized to such an extent that their complete success is the rout of common equity and average comprehension. Strictly. speaking, not .a single American is free from the taint of criminal activity. He may speed in his motor car, A crime! He may not sound his horn. A crime! He may run a wire to light his chicken coop and. forget that he should apply for a permit. I could go on forever. Millions of laws govern Americans and the greatest of the legal minds have _ not the slightest idea of most of-them, nor their impert. A favorite court procedure is to face a situation requiring adjudication, then cast back as far-as necessary for a_ precedent by which to judge it. [In this age, -when themachine and science. and Hinvention:~ have ‘course of human life, legal lights frequently cast back for precedent to the judgment of men_ who. never -dreamed of a horseless carriage, who read by the light of a tallow candle, bathed in an iron tub, let their teeth decay as the years passed, and because it traveled 25 the railroad train as.a device of the devil for the destruction of man. 'rhis must pass. America will throw off this yoke of archaic habit. The people, fed up with Main street murders, idiotic legal subterfuges and ‘outright corruption, will assert themselves. They will put a direct question. They will want and they will get a direct answer. You will be entirely safe in the prognostication that when they do get it it will come from one no less than Unele Sam himself. When the beard of that gentleman bristles with indignation and his mighty. biceps writhe for a whack at the desperado who is the national problem and the international disgrace, things will happen. Not until then! Seotland Yard offers a let America can learn. ~Hialf-as efficient as the New York police, it is twice as effective. Mussolini offers a ponderable thought to Americans. Undertaking gevernment when his country .was . erime-ridden and virtually hopeless of deliverance, he has cleaned it up, polished it; renewed its public: pride.
