Police ana Handlcapned.

The police department Of every
city in West Virginia Is perplexed
over the new pistol-toting law. short-
" to be In effect No city has yet
found a way to carry out the spirit of
the law that requires every police
officer to give bond OF $500 for
carrying a gun It Is hardly ex-
pected any bonding company win be
found to take the risk, Again, the
exaction OF a bond is a, financial
hardship that salaries otnot justify.
Doubtless, abuses and outrages by
some police officers with guns
prompted the legislators to incorpo-
rate the bonding provision in the
law, but on the whole that is not the
history of the police in West vir-
GINA Not within many years here
has policeman shot any one and
the rnle is that the police are care
full
However, the fact that the police
carry no guns II it is to cmeo to
that. is not one tending to promote
public order. as many will be the
glolator who will take advantage
of the handicap given the officers
and there viii be clashes far more
frequent between officers and VIOLA
tors than in the past, when It was
known to violators that the police
had guns and were AUTHORIZED to
to use them in. certain emergencies.
1t is stated that railroad officers
do not expect to comply with the
provision of the new law requiring
a bond. They are commissioned by
the governor and they believe that a
bond viii not be necessary in their
case. The fact that they are COM
missioned by the governor does not
appeal to most people as a reason
why they should not be required to-
do what other police officers viii
have to do.
The situation arising from the new
law is not at all re-assurlng and 1t is
safe to predict that much trouble
will result. In general, the anti
pistol law is approved by the peo-
pie, but those who are commissioned
TO maintain order ought not to be
handicapped In the way the new law
appears to handicap them.
