INCOMPETENCE AND MISRULE

Evidences of extravagance IN the man.
agement of the county government con-
time to multiply, and the Herald will
continue to show the people how tn cir
money is thrown out with a glad hand
and no corresponding benefit received.
In twelve months thres supervisors have
expended close on to $40, 900 on roads and
highways. and the most unsatisfactory
results have been obtained. The roads
of the county are in q miserable coudi-
ton. Specific instances have been re-
ported and are recounted in the HERALD
this morning. The Herald is in favor OF
good roads, but it will not approve OF the
wanton expenditure of $4,000 OF the
peoples money when the benefits OBJ
tanned could have been effected with less
than half that expenditure.
Taxpayers are learning every day Of the
incompetency of the deputies who are
employed in some departments at the
court house. Yesterday three instances
came to light where property owners in
June last pal their poll tax and hold re-
ceipts therefor. These property owners
found when thev visited the tax collect
ors office that their poll tax payment
had not been credited. 1t had been
charged against their property and they
we're called on to pungle up again. One
man produced his receipt, and as it was
properly made out. the poll tax was de-
duc.ed. In the other two cases the col
lecting deputy had made out the receipts
Improperly, by not inserting the correct
initials. Both men were compelled to
pay their poll tax once more. These are
only few instances OF official incompe-
tence. Other cases could be cited. Who
got that poll tax that was collected In
June, and why was it charged against
these property owners after it had been
paid?
The county tax rolls are in the worst
shape this year they have ever been.
They are full of errors ana faulty to
degree heretofore unheard of. Taxpayers
are pur to trouble and inconvenience.
Property is not assessed to the right peo-
pie, and in known cases it is not assessed
at all. And so it goes.
All this comes aoout through the EN-
ployment Of a lot of deputies whose only
aualihcations for offlca-holding are 10y
atty in serving the Republican ring and
ability to draw q fat salary.
The city council has reduced the sala-
RES of two patrol wagon drivers and has
abolished the position OF n iantor. This
effort in the direction of reform appesls
to that worthy organ of Republicanism,
the Evening Express. 1t announces the
news in these startling headlines;
The herald., 1895-11-20
MORE POLICE, LESS PAY

1t is said that some mem bers of the
city council are seriously considering the
advisabilty of making an increase OF the
police force of Los Angeles possible by
reducing slightly the salaries of the
present policemen. This method may
not be the most satisfactory for securing
an immediate increase of the force but
it seems to lie the only one available.
More police are abs oluiely nect ssary,
and yet the ciiy's finances are In such
state that the employment OF an addi-
tional nun. Der will be imposs BILE for sew
eral months. unless some device of the
kind suggested be adopted.
The inadequacy of the present mum Der
of policemen is amply evidenced in the
epidemic of burglaries and hold-ups now
prevalent. AS the winter advances lhe
criminal element will multiply decidedly.
and the WORK of the police department be
proportionately increased. The lnfrs-
quency with which officers are encoun-
tered in the residence portions of the city
after dark, the time they should be most
in evidence, long since demonstrated the
pnucIty of the force. The police, like
some other departments OF the city gov
eminent, has utterly failed to keep ste
wit the rarid growth OF the city.
At present we have eighty officers, in
GLIDING six detectives. AS the latter ar.
used as a rule for special work, there are
but seventy four men available for regu
lar police duty. city Of this size and
population should. especially during the
fall and winter months. have for ordn-
airy police work. not less than 100 men:
125 would more nearly accord with the
requisites Of the situation.
BY reducing the pay OF the present
policemen, not including the detectives,
to the extent OF $40 EACH fund of $740
PEI month would be made available for
the employment of about ten men addi-
tionaI. they to receive, of course, the
same salaries as the Others.
We have excepted the detectives from
the suggested reduction because of the
conviction that they are now paid too
little for the kind of work required of
them. 1t is serious question whether
a city can afford to hire men who are
content 20 work for $S3 pei month in the
hazardous and difficult role of detectives
If they are good men thew deserve gnd
will probably go in time to where they
can get more; if they are not equal to the
requirements OF the WORK cut out for
them they are dear at any price.
The present pay of the men who do or.
binary police duty may not be any too
high, and it is not the purpose of The
ii raid to advocate permanent reduc-
tion of the same, hut it is unquesti IN.
abby true that there are more than enough
men in this city in every way qualified
to serve as police who would gladly lake

The admirable quality in the compost
ton of President Cleveland is consist
ency. In all the political reverses that
have taken place and caused other politi-
clans to become paralyzed during the
financial crisis that has been SO severe in
this country a, we'll as in all nations of
the civilized world, he has never allowed
him self to be swayed from his fixed pol
icy. simply because he believes that lie is
righi and that the future will Justify his
position. He does not believe in resort
ing TO question: BILE make-shifts for the
purpose OF bridging over temporary
crises. knowing that by such means con-
dtions will result that will be ultimately
more dangerous in the reconstruction
that must necessarily follow. Finance is
OF one of the things that can be safely
experimental with, as such experiments
produce the most disastrous results to
business and commerce and retard
healthy development and industrial pro-
gress.
Il While the departure made necessary by
the civil war TO furnish the means to
equip and maintain the army was not
oppose by the great body of the Ameri-
can people, there is nothing more true
| than that the great hardship of the
recent crisis arose from the effort that
has been made to return to a sound and

ner, and the genius of craftsmanship in
both the great political parties has been
employed to return to that healthy con-
dition which withstooi the usages and
the trials of three-qnarters OF C injury.
President Cleveland IS the EN- bod iment
OF that policy, and in his consistency and
integrity of purpose he has been opposed
by generation of peol lie who have been
educated and become accustomed to do
business under system of expectancy,
and who are loath 10 let go and return to
the old and more healthy custom which
is recognized by the whole world and
which forms the equitable besis of inter-
national business He is not politician

cause it did not meet With his approval

charge OF his great trust to the people.

law-maklng power and the respect that
he had for the people, whom congress
represented. that prevented a veto.

Not only would it have no depreciating

The Express seems to share the unin-
formed opinion that our government has
Disseminated in favor of gold and against
silver. The reverse is true. There is no
class of producers in this country treated
so unfairly as are the gold miners. Free
coinage grants them no favor and adds
nothing TO the value of their product.
But, rs compared with silver. $31 worth OF
their product is by law made to pass cur
rent at par with SIG worth Of the product
OF the silver miner. Upon our gold pro.
duct is imposed the duty, not only OF
maintaining its own integrity as true
measurer of honest values, but also the
additional burden OF doubling the honest
measuring capacity OF silver.
FOR years. against the privilege of free
coinage by which the owner of gold gam
ed nothing, we had compulsory pur-
chases Of SILVER which would not circu-
late. with an addendum That payment
for these purchases might De made in
treasury notes to be maintained at par
ity with gold, which was but round
about way of making them rsdeemable
in gold. The queerest part of it all is
that a large portion of ;he press, the min
ers and the people, of this heaviest of
the gold mining states, vociferously ad-
vocate a policv which makes SIG derived
from silver mining equivalent to S3l de-
rived from gold mining. And apply mea

nounce them as heretics.

quite inconsistent with free trade. Free
silver is simply a euphemism for protec

products of silver mines upon the people
at an artificial valuat on, and at their ul-
innate expense, for the bene lit solely of
silver mine owners. 1t is not demon
strable that any class of people, save the
silver mine owners, would be the bene-
ficia,ies of free silver. Class legislation
is the very antithess of free trade. More
over, silver is not free trade money,
because it has not free entry and well
