New York, Dec. 1T is painful to

for the educational privileges bestowed

on account Of his knowledge OF tar.
Under such a chOirmaster can the cnolr

GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR


AS a rule we get about what we pay
for, no more and no less. There are
exceptions to the rule, but we must
! shape our business by the rule that
we get nothing free, that we do not
get more than our moneys worth and
make arrangements to pay for what
we get.
Ardmore pays its police officers
from SOS to $75 a month. When man
enters the service of the city as an
officer, he receives s65 month. After
term of months of good faithful ser
vice, he gets a raise of IS and after an
other term OF the same kind of ser
vice, he gets another raise OF similar
amount and beyond that he cannot
go. A police officer who gets S75 a
month knows that he has no further
chance for promotion, the city says
to him that 1t wants SIS worth of ser
vice, and no more.
The man who is entrusted with the
protection of your property cannot
draw more than 5000 year for his
work The man who is entrusted
largely with the morals of your city
and therefore the protection of your
boys and girls cannot by any means
get more than 5000 for a years work. !
The man who is entrusted with the
protection of your life is told that S75 |
a month is all the money he is worth. |
There is fear right now that hard |
times will prevail and scarcity of la !
Dor and scarcity of money is talked |
by almost every man on the street. |
This kind of fear leads to robberies !
and to burglaries. The man who Is |
depended upon to protect you from
robbery on the street or your home
from burglary, cannot receive for his
labor more than $75 a month.
The officer meets every day every
of poverty, there are APP
peals coming to him that would touch
the heart of wooden man. and he
will give up part of his salary to as
sist in these emergencies The city
has no funds from which such eX
penses are met. The officer must take
it out of the meager wage the city
pays him.
The police officer must wear cloth
ing, good enough not to reflect upon
his city, his family must be cared for
and his children educated. Twelve
hours of work are given out of each
day to the city. He can do nothing
else If he does his work well. Half ,
Of the labor is done at night There
are many hours of danger.
Still, the fact remains that We get
about what we pay for. This city
does not need better police force,
but it does need better paid police
force. 1t is not right to charge
man with the multiplicity of important
duties that the police has and not pay
him well for his services He should
be paid enough to make him feel that
he is appreciated, the moral force of
the city should see that officers are
better paid. With better pay they
will do their work better 1t is a
result that will come without com
mand, it comes of itself, with better
treatment to the police. The average
citizen would not do the work of the
police officer, he would not walk the
lark alleys and go into places of
crime. But the average citizen eX-
)ects police officer to bare his body
o bullets for wage less than the
printer or the carpenter or the clerk
