NEEDED CHANGES.

The Dallas Merchants Protective
Association is to be commended for its
effort to devise plan whereby the
expense OF street sprinkling and night
police service may be more equitably
distributed among the business firms
OF the city. In former years, the ex-
pense OF keeping the streets cool and
clean in the Summer months fell
upon few merchants and professional
men who were willing to contribute
sufficient funds to keep the sprinkler
in operation. Firms which refused to
contribute have been benefited quite
as much as the merchants that paid.
The Protective Association seeks 20
remove this injustice by asking the
council to devise some plan whereby
all may be taxed alike. or. at least. in
proportion 20 the benefits received.
II Is hoped that the council will find
authority to lew a tax on an property
in the business district for sprinkling
purposes. That such authority exists.
there would seem no doubt. as sprink-
ling Is a part Of the upkeep Of street
and Is an absolute necessity to the
health. comfort and convenience Of
the people Of the business district In
the Summer months.
The proper reimbursement Of
night police officer is another matter
deserving prompt consideration. As In
the case of the street sprinkling. some
property owners are receiving the ben
efit Of this night service without pay
ing a cent towards the officers salary.
Everyone admits that the services OF a
night watchman cannot be dispensed
with. and Jet that faithful employe
is receiving hardly enough salary 20
pay his actual living expenses. To ask
a man % brave the elements through
an the long hours Of a winter night.
and % face the risk Of vlolent death
af the hands of the criminal element
for a salary insufficient % support

him. is an wrong. such a condition

night hours mean something to the
other residents Of the town, and that
the protection of the business houses
is worth something to every taxpayer.
Dallas is the only town in Polk County,
and probably in oregon, where the
city pays nothing toward the salary
of night officer. Here, the business
men bear the entire burden of the ex-
pense. The method is unjust.
If the council desires to better con-
ditions, and at the same time save
money for the city, it can easily ac-
complish such a result by paying the
marshal's salary to the night officer.
The greater portion of this salary
should be paid by the merchants. and
the remainder should come from the
city treasury. The payment oil $50 a
month to a day officer Is a wilful and
extravagant waste of the public money.
This assertion is made without the
least personal reflection upon Marshal
Odom, who, so far as the Observers
knowledge extends, is a faithful and
competent officer. The point this pa
per is trying to make is that the
city has absolutely no need of high
salaried day officer.
Good business management would
suggest that Mr.. Odom, or Mr.. Tupper,
or some other competent man, be CIV
en- a salary of not less than $75 a
month-s50, say, to be contributed by
the merchants, and the remaining $25
to be paid by the city This officer
should go on duty late in the after
noon and serve until earlys opening
time in the morning. By commencing
work in the afternoon he would have
ample time in which to keep the street
crossings clear and to perform such
other light duties as are at present
of the day officer. A compe-
tent man could easily be secured to
part of the day. by paying him the
usual fee of $3.50 allowed for making
an arrest.
Such plan, or some similar meth |
cd, should be adopted by the council
at the earliest practicable opportunity I
Dallas finances are not in a condition |
to permit of any needless expenditure
Of money, and here is a chance for
The officials to give the taxpayers bet
.er service at lower cost than the
eity is now paying. The Observer
makes this suggestion as one interest
I'd in the welfare of Dallas, and
hopes it will be received by the coun-
Ill in the spirit in which it is offered.
