THE POLICE FORCE

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her
aid The two mayors, the old one and
the new, both seem to realize the fact
that the city police force should be en-
larged, and l expect that most of our
citizens will agree with them. Now,
there is no reason why the police force
should not be very nearly doubled with
out any further cost to the city. There
are plenty of honest, intelligent married
men in the city who would be glad of an
opportunity to serve the city as guard
ians of its peace and property. and who
would be willing to do it for s12 a week
and their uniforms. At these times,
when every thing is cheap, especially la
Dor, there is no need to pay fancy prices
for policemen. They arc paid out Of all
proportion to other labor. Take the la
borer who is fortunate enough to get
work for the city. He gets 81 a day fer
his labor and thinks himself well paid,
and surely the service he renders to the
city is equal to that rendered by the
policeman. The policeman, so far as I
can find out, does not possess any ex-
traordnary intelligence that should en-.
title him to greater pay for his services.
Now, as to the chief and his staff of
officers: There is very little doubt, hav-
ing the interests of the city so much at
