The difficulty comes from a change in the assess ments against property within tho loop district as compared with property lying outside of it and litigation has sus pended the collection of taxes until a settlement is reached in the courts. There seems to bo plenty Of money available taxes that. are clue but uncollectablo but not at the present time. With the tax dispute settled there will be plenty of revenue. Chicago is too rich a city to be bankrupt. Bad management and poor planning may have contributed to the present involved .condition of city finances but the assets outweigh the liabilities by a good deal, regardless. THE JOB OF REFORMATION It is fairly obvious that America's prison system is not do-1 ing a very good job. Crime continues to increase. Investi-' gators repeatedly assail our prisons as schools where hard ened criminals teach the tricks of the trade to impressionable youngsters. If the reformation of the criminal is part of the ,":vi0' prison s job, there will uo no one to deny that the present system leaves a tremendous lot to be desired. The most recent bit of evidence comes In a book, "Five Hundred Crintinal Careers," by Sheldon Glueck and Eleanor Glueck of the Harvard University faculty. In this book the Gluccks recount their studies of criminals in Massachusetts penal institutions. Tho figures they present are extremely interesting and valuable. . ii... r:...i ii. ..i :.. nt ...... ......i ..r n... i-ui UAuium;, ua'j iinu null, in l" yvi uuiii, m uiu uumo ... . ..r.,. , ,.,.mi ,.,,. ,,.,,,1!(B r ,.,,,.,. ..,, f,,i Studied, thb criminal's homo life had gone to smash before llO terday, wero rescued this after- lire while telephone und telegraph vol,n (l, ,,, r I I n,,l .w,ll,l,-,I ,.f ll, ,o .., r I ""- . . services vere Interrupted normal intelligence. There had been prior delinquency in 80 per cent of the families represented. And most damning of all of 510 men discharged from the Massachusetts Re formatory between 101 1 and 1922, SO per cent returned to lives of crime. Those figures indicate the nature of the task that faces our prisons. They would seem to prove quite clearly that mere severity and harsh discipline will never suffice. As Dr. Richard C. Cabot of Harvard remarks: "Why should this regime reform anybody V In my experi ence there are few tougher and more unyielding structures in the world than a bad habil. It does not change as the result of a few months of forced, unpaid and unpalatable labor." Reform, Dr. Cabot believes, requires one condition: "That someone should come to know and understand tho man in so intimate and friendly a way that he comes to a better un-1 derstanding of himself and to a truer comprehension of the world in which ho lives." An enormous amount of work, evidently, remains to be done. IISAII.OltSKIX.ll.il roltDOHA, Agenllue. Jan. I'll IllAltltl r.. I'Viime, Jan.
