Indirect Legislation § 6
Satisfying
IV Expedients for
satisfying at a
cheaper rate the
desires which
lead to delinquency
V. A [fifth] fourth class of expedients belonging to the head
of indirect legislation by the unassisted force of the
political sanction consists of such as are calculated proceed upon

of which they depend for their very being, that
