H THE BANK THAT PAYS POUR PUR RKNT
COST OF ENFORCING LAWS.
A close even if not absolutely cor
rect calculator has made (or says he
has) the discovery that President
Roosevelt's famous declaration re
garding Moycr, Ilcywood and Petti
bone is costing the tax payers of Ada
county, Idaho, ten cents each per
hour. Assuming that the calculation
is near enough to the facts to be set
down as unassailable, the shock pro
duced to the mental organism there
by, if any, is speedily recovered from
when the cause of it is fully consid
ered and digested. Ten cents an hour
surely counts up, especially if the
sleeping as well as the waking hours
arc figured into the computation; ev
en if it be but a long working day
that is embraced in the operations of
the penalty, the assessment would be
a dollar a day; and as there are 5,000
or 6,000 taxpayers in the county
spoken of, the amount drawn from
them because of the Presidential ejac
ulation is a corresponding number of
dollars quite a snug little fortune
in itself, a goodly one in a week, and
a handsome one in a month. Let '
us confer. '
The money paid for the support of
courts generally and the prosecution
of criminals, particularly is what
might be called a direct requisition "
upon the people's substance, from
which there arc no visible returns in
kind. It would be much more pleas
ing to the normal mind if the only
means .by which they can cease so
long as civilization in its Ijighcst as
pects prevails the cessation of wrong
doing, the complete and unresisting
obedience of all people to the Ten
Commandments. Such a condition
being merely theoretical, if not Uto
pian, a discussion of it except for
abstract and intellectual purposes is 4ft
time thrown away; ther"e is none
such anywhere, never has been and,
so long as the human animal retains
his inherent frailties and continues
to rule the earth, never will be.
The fact that laws exist is all the
argument needed for their existence.
As Richard III said, "Why should
the laws be made but that we're
rogues by nature?" This need not "
be construed individually, but collect
ively its exact application is plainly
manifest. Our primeval parents be-
gun business in their Edenic home-
stead, not by observing the laws
given them for guidance, but by first1
slighting, then evading, then disre
garding, then trampling under foot;
and their children are like unto them.
