POLICE AND FIRE PENSIONS.

Several measures are pending in the
legislature at Lincoln to provide for
retirement pensions for members of
the Omaha fire and police depart
ments. Before any of them are en-
acted into law they should be care
fully considered from the point of
view of the taxpayers and of the serv-
ice, as well as of the prospective pen
sioners. Once the pension system is
inaugurated whatever changes and
notifications 1t will undergo will be
in the direction of greater liberality,
so that If the t~ax-paying public is to
be protected proper limitations should
be incorporated from the outset.
Under our present city charter we
now have a retirement pension for po-
licemen, but the clause is practically
imperative because it is made effec-
tive only for those who have reached
a designated g and served fifteen
years from and after the passage of
this act" which act bears the date of
1904. The present proposals all aim
to make the retirement pensions avail
able for policemen or fremen who
meet the age requirement and have
served the stipulated number of years
whenever that service may have been
performed.
The weak spot in this plan is that 1t
does not require continuous service
and thus opens the door to costly
abuse by reinstatement of men in ad-
vanced years who have been volun-
tarily or involuntarily out of the de-
partment during the years when their
service would have been most valua-
bic. 1t would at once start a siege of
the police board by all the incompe-
tents and disreputables pried loose
from time to time from the payroll,
bringing pressure for rehabilitation
with a view to connecting with the
pension fund.
Whatever the legislature may do in
the matter of the pension fund for po-
licement and firemen, and it should dc
something. it should see to it that the
pensions are put within reach only OF
legitimate claimants who have estab.
lished their right to an old age pro-
vision by long, continuous and faithful
service.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-01-25
Special PENSIONS

The chairmen of the appropriations
committees in congress are making
protest against the alleged extrava-
gance in special pension legislation.
Although often discussed by congress
without tangible results, the demand
for economy in appropriations has
again directed attention to the pecu-
liar manner of disbursing the public
money under this heading.
The special pension legislation has
been carried to such an extent in o n
gress that for a number of years the
custom has been adopted of allowing
each member OF congress a fixed num-
Der Of special pension bills which are
put through without discussion or in
vestigation except by the committees
In the senate recently 500 special pen
sion bills were passed in one hour. In
almost every case these bills increase
pensions already allowed by the gov
eminent authorities under existing
laws, although many of them are for
the benefit of persons who have not
been able, from one reason or an
other, to secure pensions through the
regular channels. The total of these
special acts amounts to many thou
sands of dollars each year and the
claim continues, after passage, during
the life of the pensioner.
No one will contend that there
should be an absolute end put to spe-
cial pension legislation, as the system
seems to be about the only one by
which needed and deserved increases
may be made over the allowances
made by the general pension laws, but
1t would seem that the time has ar
rived for requiring some systematic
investigation OF these claims for spe-
cial allowances. While the pension
roll is decreasing rapidly, the amount
of the annual pension appropriation
bill is as large as 1t was a dozen years
ago. Much of this is due to the en-
largement of the general pension laws
but a healthy share of it is chargeable
to the special pension bills offered
by congressman and passed without
inquiry into their merits. The fact
that forty-five years after the civu
war we have a pension approp ';tior
OF 500, OU6,0GS annually uld be
SUFFICIENT to make congress go slow in
passing special pension legislation.

RETIRED oFEIoERS FOR SERVICE.

RETIRED OFFICERS FOR SERVICE.
A solution OF the problem of the
shortage of officers for the army has
been suggested that will meet with
hearty approval from several hundred
retired of1cers anxious to get back into
active service. The solution is pro-
posed in a bill pending In congress
authorizing the secretary of war to
call 250 retired army officers into ac-
tive duty. There are 612 vacancies in
the service list OF officers.
The introduction of the bill come as
a surprise, As it is generally supposed
that the officers on the retired list
have always been subject to orders
from the War department. This is
the case in the navy, where the retired
ofhcers are subject to calls for active
service In emergencies. The PROPOSE
ton to call 250 OF the retired army
omeers into service would be welcomed
