A BIG PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED.
The Chicago Tribune, doubtless stirred up by the frequency
pleas of insanity in cases where capital
and the recklessness with which nunta! detectnc are all"we.l t run
at large, has declared itself in favor of euthanasia for the criminal
insane. The Dainless execution of the unfortunates will never come
about, however rational that course of treatmenl would be if the
"greatest gl to the greatest number" was t be considered. Such!
a course would shut off insanity plea- in cases of capital crimes, and
the pendulum would swing the other way. the great effort being
made to show the criminal sane in order that he might take his(
chances on a milder sentence in the regular way of a criminal trial.
The suggested remedy is too radical ever to be adopted offer- to
many possibilities for people offensive to other- being done awaj
with.
But that some steps to control known defectives must be taken)
is evidenced by the constantly increasing numbers of this kind of
creatures and the crimes committed Dy tnem. .s matters nun
stand every community has its quota of so-called harmless defectives,
who arc under no restraint whatever. They may mingle with the
population for years with DO harm being done: then their defective
minds take a criminal bent and the damage is done. The perpe
trator is practically immune from punishment on account of his
mental Condition, and the worst that can happen him is that the steps
that should have been taken years before to put him under restraint
are annlied and he mav he Drooerlv DUt awav and cared lor
usually for a s'lort time. If a finding of insanity in the ease of a
capital crime carried with it an irrevocable decree that the victim
sin uld be confined not temporarily but for life, these expert-declared;
insane criminals would rapidly diminish.
The greatest harm to society, however, in the present laxncss
of our laws alcng this line is that these people are permitted to
marry and to reproduce their kind, or worse. Such families as:
the-e have heen traced for generations, and the defective and crim-!
inal descendants of an Imbecile pair have been found by, hundreds, j
We commonly agree that defectiv e ought not to lie allowed to breedj
but they are permitted to. In the celebrated case of "Margaret;
luke-" it wa- found she had I jifdcV descendants, 700 of whom were!
traced) and ihOSt 61 them were m jails, asylums, penitentiaries, and
almshouse-. Nearly all were unbalanced.
year-, has the same leg'sttrtwrfg ffitit tigfrfifiw IKfirrftft'MtfH
in the country, lie is under no restraint whatever and no one is
responsible ft r 'his actions. He has, indeed', more 'privileges than
the average man because he is licensed by law to commit any crime,
the plea of insanity being a perfect defense if he does offend. The
leasl society ha- a right to demand is that the parent or guardian of
such a one, or the person whose duty it is to see that he i. properly
restrained under the law , -hall be held responsible to the limit for
lu actions, at least as an accessory to any crime he mav lie guilt v of.
T he failure to properly care for these creatures is in itself a bar
barism, closely allied to a crime, for if taken early in life there
may be hope of restoring them by proper treatment: allowed to
pursue their own bent the cases are hopeless.
Some big minds must solve the problem, but unless a very
radical change takes place in human nature euthanasia will never be
that solution.
CASH RENTS SHO W A CERTAIN RETURN TO OWNER.
)n wliat lia-is. cash or -hare-, will the farmers of the country
rent their land the corning season? The division of economics o(
the Department of Agriculture has caused an inquiry to be made
into this phase of the fanner problems now seeking solution. The
finding of the investigators, briefly stated, were that the farm
owners received a gross return of
the laud and improvements for
Schedules of 158,000 farms, ,,r
average value of these farms was
per aere was $5.45. I he investigator pointed out that the decline
111 the price of farm products the past year might re-nlt in a lower
rate of return.
I here were some striking variations found in studying the re
turns from differenl sections of the country, ('ash renl- in the
north-central counties showed an average return of 2.89 per cent,
of land valuation; on the Pacific slope 4.26 per cent.; in the moun
tain district 6.34 per cent, and so on Up to Arkansas where it wa
Up to 10.66 per cent., and downward to North Dakota where the
return showed bul 2.lj per cent.
I he economists of the department are endeav oring to arrive
nt a basis for scientific appraisals of American farm lands. They
find that there is no apparent Constant relation batween rent anil
value. "The hest land in the country returns a high rental as well
as high valuation," it is said by the department report. "The specu
lative motive of holding lands for advance in prices is undoubted
ly an important factor in leading landlords to accept low rental
incomes. The appeal of ownership of a farm home appears to he
another important consideration."
The three and a half per cent, which the government investiga
tors found the farm owners received on his investment for the year
IQtg was not of a disastrous character, after all. It is possible
that his returns for 1930, the vear of disaster, mav not show as
wen Decause 01 the inability ai cash
In m the crop- grown. The return- for 19
than approximated at this time and then
rattier than speculative value Of the
" tile whole, however, the conditions of
seem to lie gradually but slowly improving.
