Contrary tothcjijpresioglven in some news stories,
Chicago" not 'bankrupt although suffering from lack of
funds. 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. .

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.
