This Is One of a Series on the Subject of “Taxpayers vs. Crime’’ 0 Whose Crime Was It? A young man, just coming into his majority, faces trial for killing a 1 farmer and his wife, because he envied them their new automobile. ■ j Some will blame the automobile manufacturers for making such an I attractive car. Others will claim the departed farmer incited the boy’s l |t * ' envy by flaunting their new possession in the face of his poverty, but neither of these suppositions are more ridiculous than to blame the boy. ; Ba He is the one on trial, but whether he is convicted of murder or not hy ’ |Pj|* 4jfc i will have little bearing upon who is to blame. -Jjjj|K \fjjm iH The law considers the instigator of a crime or person who hires an w'~ Js assassin equally as guilty. Unfortunately, the law does not yet recog- Sm ! t f nize responsibility of another nature, failure to foster moral character during the formative years of youth. ■HHyFjR /vjTatfl * - - ■ If it did, perhaps, more of us would pay as much attention to the moral training of our children as we do to feeding and cloth* * seven arrests of youths under 25 years of age were made recent- ' per cent of the criminals brought before courts of law have not quickened as to the need for supporting the agencies so vitally ,** i„ lMvinr training „ u t c.„n ' concerned with developing the morals of our boys and girls, much children, ,ou must Mcept tbt responsibility 0 f OUr V j ce an( J crime WOUltl disappear.
