It is not expected that there will be an epidemic of criminality on that date or that people will laeoome seized with a sudden desire to trans­ gress. the increase in the number of law-breakers will be due to the feet that after that date there will be no snore laws to break. With the beginning of the fiscal year 179 new laws papsed by the last of legis­ lature and signed by Governor Yates Will become operative.
