Financial distress from debt penalties dominates state report
The governor cites over 10 000 imprisoned for debt in the Bay state year and more than 27 000 commitments totaling financial ruin for about 60 000 people including many children. He notes two thirds of commitments stem from drunkenness or failing to pay fines and urges alternative penalties. The piece also surveys editorials on radium cancer treatment, abolishing the vice presidency, and Santa Claus nostalgia, with regional notices on crime, morals, and church services.
