, PREMIUM ON INCOMPETENCE.

When the duties and responsibilities
OF the chief of police are taken into
consideration, the salary paid that Off
cial by the city is ridiculously made
quate. a barrier TO high-class service
and premium on Incompetence. Small
as the salary is. the conditions under
which an incumbent serves make il
even less attractive than it appears.
Under the present system there is 70 as
surance that any appointee will hold the
Job for more than one term of a mayors
tenure. No man At TO hold the place
could afford to abandon regular en-
ployment and accept the police appoint
ment under such circumstances. and the
city has no legitimate occasion for COM
plant when it finds the department de-
moralized. the criminal element unre-
strained and public safety imperiIed by
frequent changes in the Office
Nor is there any hope of better con
ditions until the whole system of APP
pointment. administration and tenure
is reformed. The police and fire depart
ments should be removed absolutely
from politics and political control: the
men and their officers should be re-
tanned during good behavior; they
should be kept cut of politics both as
individuals and as a force; aud they
should he paid enough to make it an
object for them to remain in Service.
and do good work
Then the city could expect and de-
mand efficiency and honesty in its po-
Ice and fire departments: and it viii
not get these requisites until it makes
the change.
