CARELESS FIRES A CRIME
Some cities in this country have
taken the advanced ground of adopt
ing ordinances fixing criminal re-
sponsibility upon persons who care
lessly cause fires.
The careless fire Is just as much
of a social crime as a neglect of san-
itatlon. It visits its loss upon the
just and the unjust.
The fire hazard In America is
many times greater than It should
be, and much greater than that in
any European country. This Is due
largely to the carelessness of the peo-
l ie with respect to prevention. A
i .ajority of forest fires ars started
• y people who leave live embers be
hind them to be fanned into blaze
by the wind. The accumulation of
rubbish In the cities, and the care
less use of matches and cigarettes,
account for a great number of city
fires. A law which would make a
man both civilly and criminally li
able for the starting of a careless
fire would probably work wonders In
i educing the needless loss.
It Is not alone for the sake of a
saving In rates that fires should be
prevented.
The social loss from
fires represents a direct reduction of
i he national wealth. It adds to the
cost of living and reduces the capac
ity for production. One mill burned
down means not only the loss of the
mill, but also the loss of all the goods
it might have manufactured had It
not burned. No one escapes the pen-
ulty imposed by criminal careless-
nose.

King as chief counsel for the United
