ROOT PAVORS MAYORS
POLICE REFORM BILLS
Senator Says Department Here
Has Forfeited Pcrma-
nency of Jobs.

United States Senator Elihu Root in
a letter to Mayor Mitchell. made public
yesterday, advocates strongly the enact
ment Of the police bills the Mayor caused
to be introduced In the State Legislature.
The Senator makes an attack on the
police system. saying conditions demand
a change OF policy in the handling OF
the police.
He points out that the police could
purge themselves, but they have not
done SO. He thinks II IL right to end
the permanency Of a poiiceman's Job "
he cannot be made to be honest other
wise. He says In his letter:
"For many years Of my active practice
in the courts was frequently called
in on one side or the other in litigations
relating to the removal or reinstatement
OF officials under the city Charter. and
particularly In the Police Department.
and ] became very familiar with the
workings of the department and was
compelled to give much consideration to
the effects Of the statutes upon the morale
and efficiency of the police force.
1T has always seemed to me that the
laws which give permanency OF tenure
to members OF the police force are die
tated not by any right OF the policemen
but by the underlying belief that as a
matter Of permanent policy a better
police force will be secured by giving
permanency OF, tenure This must be the
basis Of such laws, for the State. like
any private employer, has a right to
make contract for service terminable
at will II II sees At. and II II makes n
contract not tcrminable at will It Is only
because II In deemed TO be for the public
interest to do 80.
The question must always be open
whether such "a policy has In fact accom-
plished its purpose Of producing the best
4 tpls hat L.,
view Of the most distressing revelations
OF the past few years concerning per-
mitted and protected crime in the city
Of New York We are bound to say that
the policy OF permanency In the police
force has not succeeded.
There IL no question whatever In
my mind that II WAS within the power
OF the police force to make that policy
successful. The corrupt and disloyal
members OF the force are comparatively
few. The great body of the force Ii COM
posed Of honest and loyal men. But
there Is a code OF honor in the police
force under which the honest and loyal
men submit to being controlled by a con-
spiracy OF silence. and they become in
disloyal fellows.
THE police force knows what officers
are dishonest, the police force knows
what officers are In league with criminals.
the police force could purge itself IL Il
chose. 1t has not done so. Failing to
do SO itself has made the public policy
OF permanent tenure comparative
failure, and II has no right 20 complain
IL different policy IL inaugurated.
I'm my opinion the conditions which
have been shown to exist demand a
change OF policy and the grant Of power
to the head OF the city government to
do for the force what the force has failed
to do for itself"

ROCKY ROAD FOR POLICE BILLS.

Committees Of Both HOuscs.

ALBANY, Feb. 2a.-The coming week
promises to be an interesting one in
legislative circles. with Mayor Mitchel's
New York city police bills holding the
position Of prominence. Their passage II
In doubt in both houses, for Il is re-
ported that In the Senate there is a
movement OF the Tammany men to defeat
the effort to broaden the powers of Mayor
Mitchers Police Commissioner and in the
Assembly the Republicans are said
generally to oppose the bill which makes
the decision of the Police Commissioner
final, removing the right of "A policeman
to a writ OF certiorari.
There will be hearings on the police bills
before the Senate and Assembly COM
mittees on Tuesday. and Mayor Mitchell and
IA host of others are expected to appear in
behalf OF the bills. There IL a belief that
some Of the five bills will be permitted to
become laws. but that the most important
one, which Mayor Mitche. wants so that
ne can get Col. Cocktails to head the New
York Police Department. will be held up.
