S4 WILMETTE LIFE June 29, 1928 a'n intelligent knowledge of the reasons for failure of law enforcement and the persons responsible there will be a reduction in crime," he continued. · Honest public officials deserve the support of the public, in the opinion of Mr. Loesch. "Th~ many officials who do their work honestly and faithfully are entitled to public support based on the knowledge of the situation. Efficient public service cannot be secured by alternating neglect with indignation," he said. The chief crime investigator· then stated that the Chicago Crime commission has already pointed out wh y there is too much crime in Chicago and that it would continue to do this in the form of special bulletins inviting attention to such evils in th e administration of criminal justice as demand correction. Following are some of the reasons given by Mr. Loesch for the cause of the so-called "crime wave" in Chicago : Note Causes of Crime Wave Criminal court-Undue leniency to persons charged with crime, granting of too many continuances, lack of proper decorum in the courts, numerous excuses granted to qualified jurors for personal or political reasons, short hours. State's attorney-Incompetent prosecutors, poor preparation of cases, willingness to bargain with persons charged with crimes, agreement to unjustified continuances, agreement to unjustified probations, failure to investigate and prosecute election and other frauds. Sheriff-Poor subpoena service resulting in numerous witnesses not being notified, deputies who because of political affiliations take undue interest in defendants. · Police department-lack of properly trained members resulting in poor pr~paration of cases, insufficient number of patrolmen and detectives, political control of department. Municipal court-Lack of orderly procedure, numerous continuances, insufficient or no investigation of bond schedules, haphazard court records, toleration of bond runners within the courtrooms. Legislation needed-Citizens summoned for jury service should be permitted to choose the time of year best suited for them, anti-gun law with teeth, · jurors should n<;>t be judges of the law, trial procedure should be simplified. Citizen-He should not dodge jury service, he should not be willing to drop prosecution when restitution is made or offered, he should not tolerate public officials remiss in their duties, he should vote at each election and vote intelligently. General-Too much leniency to persons charged with crimes, too little consideration for victims of the criminals.

Loesch, director of the crime investigation in Chicago. Several other representatives of north shore civic organizations also were present at the meeting. Mr. Loesch emphasized the importance of educating citizens to know the law and therefore to understand better the reasons for any failure of law enforcement. "When the citizens of Chicago know as much about the practical details of law enforcement as they know about business or golf," he said, "the crime problem will be as nearly solved as is humanly possible_ /' "When the ordinary citizen comes to Ample funds at interest for loans on homes 5, 10 and 15 year plans, straight or with pre-payment privileges Oar IOGIU are parclatu.l 6y UNION CENTRaL LIFE INSURaNCE CO. of Cincinnat i Comb1n~d OaNKEDS LIFE CO. of De~ Moine~ Assets $JJO,.OOO,OOO I LET US SUPPlY THE FUNDS FOR YOUR HOME Don't put off building your home because you feel you haven't the necessary funds.
