Nation's Increase In Crime And
Income Related Says Dean McKusick
Vermillion, S. D, Nov. 17-Ninety
unions of dollars earned by Amer
C b-iness in 1926 and nearly
0 000 murders in that year have
1 ' 0bstrvable relationship, accord-
g to statements made by Marshall
ScKudck, dean of the College of
Law at the University of South Da
kota.
"It is a striking coincidence," said
Dean McKusick, "that during the
twenty year period between 1905
and 1925' a P"01 marked by
phenomenal increase in the national
income, there was also a phenomenal
increase in crime." The national in
come of this country is at present
greater than the combined national
wealth of France and Japan, and 45
percent of the world's gold is in the
vaults of the United States. But
there were also more murders in
this country in 1925 than in all Can
ada Europe and South America,
with the exception of Mexico, Rus
sia, and Balkan states. Besides this,
the speaker stated, there were 60,
000 burglaries, and 30,000 robber
ies. Crime I Organized
This increase of crime along with
the increase in business, Mr. McKus
ick seemed to believe, suggests that
in the getting of wealth there have
been practices in business that have
..oiKipd a material increase in our
criminal record. The speaker further
stated that the greatest danger lies
in a criminal class that has turned
abou and taking the method of bus
iness has developed organized crime.
This practice of criminals carrying
on crime as a business has materially

increased, according to Mr. McKus
ick. A certain amount of the wide
spread criticism aimed at -the ad
ministration of our criminal law
seems justifiable in the opinion of
Mr. McKusick. Much of the difficulty
is due to archaic and antiquated ma
chinery employed in administration
01 criminal law.
Some Crime Expected
The speaker intimated that occas
ional crime is the product of condi
tions and passions of human life
which may be minimized by patient
study and treatment of the condi
tions tending to produce it. Organ
ized crime, however, has adopted
and promoted all the elements of
weakness in the democratic form of
government. Crime as a business de
velops particularly in our large cit
ies as evils of petty politics, the
speaker said. Furthermore, the great
number of complex laws favor
crime. The individual is unable to
learn them all, and feels hedeed in
by the wall of restraint. The multi
tude of restraining laws on freedom
of personal choice result in the indi
vidual setting himself up as judge of
which laws he will obey and which
ones he will disregard.
There is already a rapidly increas
ing recognition that something must
be done, and some states have al
ready changed methods of criminal
procedure. South Dakota has recent
ly changed the rule of criminal pro
cedure which stated that a criminal
could not be compelled to testify in
his own behalf, and that the prose
cutmg attorney was not allowed to
make any comment on the failure of
an alleged criminal to so testify. By
the recent statute the prosecuting at
torney may comment upon the sil
ence of an alleged criminal.
The solution of the problem pre
sented by the great increase in
crime, according to Mr. McKusick, is
not . the task of the local organiza
tions, but a task calling for the com
bined efforts of every organization
that looks to social betterment.

SOUTHERNERS IIOYE
TO BANISH HAZING
Officials at Louisiana University
Expel Eight Student Three
Were Football Men
Baton Rouge, La., Nov. 17. A
vigorous step by officials to wipe out
hazing at the Louisiana state uni
versity was madei today with the ex
pulsion of eight students, three of
them varsity football players, for
cutting the hair of first year men.
Many southern institutions have
been carrying on this custom of haz
ing freshmen by cutting their hair,
but it is being abolished rapidly, of
ficials believe.
The usual practice in the hair cut
ting episode is to clip a furrow
through the front locks. A complete
hair cut is not often administered.
The act is usually in the hands of
sophomores and is committed in
dormitories and fraternity houses,
though it often takes place on the
campus and in the streets. Violence
is not often in attendance with the
act because of the traditional meek
ness of freshmen and overpowerinng
numbers of upperclassmen.
Sohpomore Often Dumbfounded
Freshmen seldom stayed at college
a full term without losing some of
their hair, though there have been
instances of freshmen evading the
ordeal for several weeks. Sopho
mores were dumbfounded on occa
sions when some freshman came up
and offered his locks to be shorn, be
lieving he had been slighted.
Rumored threats on the part of
the student body to make protest
against the expulsions were general
ly expected to take definite form
last night if aff all. It was reported
that a mass meeting of students had
been called, but the sponsors were
not revealed.
