Dr. Batin, vice president of the National Surety Com pany, believes that the cost in the United States is more than $7,500, 000 annually. Many citizens complain of high tax rates, and rightly demand econ omy and efficiency in governmental services. But the cost of crime is vastly higher than the cost of gov ernment in many communities, and it represents a total loss. The taxes or tribute levied by crim inals could be reduced everywhere by clean, vigorous, and businesslike ad ministration of public affairs. Where crime and criminal fraud flourish, there, unquestionably, officers of the law are too politically-minded to pay proper attention to their duties. In not a few cases, public officials are the willing co-partners of profession al criminals. Thus the high cost of crime is part of the high cost of corrupt politics and of administration by selfish, ig noble spoilsmen. There is no single, sovereign rem edy for crime. It must be combatted in all sorts of ways, direct and in direct. President Hoover recenly sug gested an examination of the bank ruptcy laws in order to ascertain how they may be strengthened with a view of preventing deliberate fraud through concealment of assets by in solvents. In business circles there is a feeling that the present bank ruptcy statutes are inadequate and insufficiently deterrent of trickery and fraud. The cost of such trickery and fraud Is estimated at $750,000, 000 a year. Doubtless there are other weak laws that invite or encourage crime. Intelligent revision of the criminal codes of most states would make crime less safe and far less profitable than it Is now. The task as a whole is gigantic and difficult, but it can be attacked simultaneously from various sides. There is no reason for despair over the crime situation, but to correct it there is need of hard, persistent, and methodical work under a com prehensive program. :o: : OUR LOQUACIOUS PRESIDENT Not many Presidents have made fewer speeches and yet issued more statements or messages in a year and a half than Mr. Hoover. His taciturnity, rivaling that of his far-from-glib predecessor, seems to arise from his dislike of public speaking, and not from inability or the neces sity of concealing fact. His frequent and lengthy messages and press state ments indicate that he believes in sharing his views and information with the public, but rarely has he chosen to give emphasis to those views by putting them into formal presidential speeches. Now, with the Republican Party going on trial in less than two months, the President indicates that he will make no less than four speeches within one week in early October. Mr. Hoover is to address bankers in Cleveland, war veterans and organized labor in Boston, and a less clearly definable audience at the King's Mountain sesquicenten- nial. The fact that these four speeches are timed to come within a month of the November election suggests that they will be political in their undercurrents, even though they make a pretense of rising above the plane of partisan warfare. It is to be hoped that they will be emphatically political and will deal plainly with the body of criticism of the Hoover Administration that has been piling up for months. Mr. Fess and his henchmen have answered any and all critics of the Hoover regime, but with little perception and with no telling results. It remains for the President to assert his leadership of his party. -:o: THE TARIFF COM MISSION CHAIRMAN The selection of Henry P. Fletcher, one of the ablest diplomatists, for chairman of the Federal Tariff Com mission probably will give satisfac tion at home and abroad. Having officiated as ambassador to Italy, Bel gium, Chile and Mexico, as under secretary of state, and in other ca pacities in the state department, he has international experience and knowledge which will enable him to act with open eye. It is, too, known generally throughout the world that he is liberal minded and is ready to compromise in order to realize Jus tice. On his record he appears to be the best man available for the position. :o: It must be a source of great con solation to the unemployed to know that they constitute only about 2 per cent of the population. pr (F BAKI N G JlY&r POWDER It's double acting Use K C for fine texture and large volume in your bakings. HUMt.i3 j.iu;mi ,m eh CHANGING MODE IN NAVIES Naval officers in many countries are being stirred to do some heavy thinking as three European Powers bring out wholly new types of naval craft. Germany is about to launch the Ersatz Preussen, a "pocket battle ship," which will be too powerful for 10,000-ton cruisers and too fast for battleships. No nation has enough battle cruisers to make an impressive showing, yet this type of fighting craft alone can do battle with vessels of the Ersatz Preussen design. France recently launched a com bination cruiser and submarine nam ed the Surcouf, which is even more revolutionary in its potential effect on naval tactics and naval building. By virtue of its size and armaments and wider radius it is immune from the usual methods of attack on sub marines. Yet it carries a seaplane, it can fire 14 torpedoes simultaneously and carries larger guns than other submarines. Presumably the policy of the United States in planning larg er submarines is based on the consid erations which led to the building of the Surcouf. Finally, the Italians have worked out a light cruiser as fast aa the swiftest of destroyers, yet armed to fight heavier cruisers. Although de signed for Mediterranean service. these Italian cruisers probably will give a good account of themselves on the wider stage of oceanic warfare. And so there are modes in fight ing craft, as surely as in tea frocks. Some pondering on the implications of these three "experimental" types of fighting craft suggests that supre macy on the seas or even parity on the seas in the future may be, not so much a case of tremendous build ing programs or tonnage strength, but far-sightedness in the design of fighting units. :o; GERMANY'S HARD TIMES If you think times are hard in the United States today, Just give a thought to what the Germans are up against. A recent news dispatch from Ruth Finney a reporter, points out that of 40,000,000 German men and women of voting age, nearly one-third are dependent on public funds for food and shelter not counting govern ment employes. The German govern ment last year spent about $ 1,2 60,- 000,000 for all purposes. Of this sum more than half was devoted to the support of 12,000,000 persons who were entirely dependent on the state, Wage reductions are proposed for German industry; but skilled work ers now only average 116.25 a week. and unskilled workers get around $10. This makes our own depression look like bountiful prosperity. :o: DIRECTING POSTERITY Elsie Robinson, a very clever writ er for the King Features Syndicate. raises this interesting question: "Has a father the right to choose a career for his son?" He has not. Sons differ from fathers some times as much as a hummingbird dif fers from a truck horse. Some of the worst tragedies in life have resulted from fathers trying to insist that sons follow in their foot steps. Honest in purpose, of course, but sadly ignorant, lives as he or she may see it. The responsibility is theirs, not yours. Boys and girls almost invariably follow their own Inclinations. "We who are soon to die" cannot project ourselves into posterity. - :o: Senator Overman, of North Caro lina, claims a man ought not to be held accountable for what he says In a political speech. It's a go if the speaker doesn't hold us accountable for what we think of his speech. NOTICE TO CREDITORS The State of Nebraska, Cass Coun ty, S3. In the county court.
