Ask Law Enforcement

mat whenever IN community
city, county or state, the laws are
laxly enforced or not enforced at
all, the court records all over our
land show moral and criminal de-
linquency on the part of the Of
ficials in power and we have from
this history of corruption a right
to the presumption that wherever
like conditions prevail, the offic-
ials in some department are cor
|rupt.
If the police department of Ia
CONT want to remove this pre-
sumption, let them enforce the dry
law so that there will be no
Idrunkards to arrest. If this is
not done, facts will accumulate
until such a time as other action
can be successfully undertaken.
In conclusion-if any citizen
who believes in the principles ad-
vocated by this Citizens League,
desires to cooperate with others
for good government, he may send
his name and address to ELL

CITLEAGUE HEAD
MAKES CHARGES

We will leave 1t to an intelli-
gent public to decide.
The position of the League is
this: That a large number of ar
rests for drunkenness shows that
the dry law is very laxly enforced.
The Commissioner of Public
Safety says that it shows that the
police department is very effic-
lent in arresting the DRINKS.
Some of the members of the
Citizens League have lived
through periods when the dry law
was being enforced by crooked Of
ficials, and here are the same
symptoms of crookedness, along
with the dope handed out to the
public to lull them to sleep.
The Citizens League believes
that its position is the correct one
because 1t has other corroborating
facts to substantiate its statement.
We will close this statement with
this general declaration.

Open Bootlegging

The report shows what the Citi-
zens League knew to be a fact,
viz, that bootlegging is being car
ried on almost openly in Tacoma,
and it is easier to buy Jag" to-
day in Tacoma than at any period
since the dry law went into effect.

Members on Watch

If public officials become dere.
lict, 1t has no friends to reward
nor enemies to punish. All it de.
mands is the enforcement of ouI
laws without favoritism.
Crime is often hard to prove al.
though it's presence is we'll known
Social and civic conditions war
rant strong presumptions that of.
ficials are derelict and downright
dishonest, and many times in ouI
city as well in other like COM
munities in the United States II
has taken years before dishonest
| public officials are brought to
punishment.
The Citizens League through its
alert membership gets the facts
and its members are morally cer-
tain that public officers are delin-
quent before any action is taken.
If it were not far the fact that
public officials who do wrong inn
mediately find excuses for their
action when criticism is directed
at them and endeavor to cover up
their delinquency, it would be
much easier to make them walk
the path of rectitude.
1t is the watchful public that
will bring about good govern
ment.
We have a recent instance of
! this in the action of the county
commissioners regarding the SUI
perintendent of the Tubercular
hospital. 1t is the citizens COM
posing the Tubercular League who
smoked out the political varmint.
Two years ago the Pierce County
Taxpayers League, another purely
civic organization, hired inspect
tors to see that the taxpayers
money was honestly spent on our
public highways.
The Taxpayers League is
spending some $500 or $4,000
per annum and hires an expert
secretary and legal advisor who
keeps check on public expendit-
ures.

League, receive scant notice from

The executive committee of the
Citizens League had enough in
formation to condemn the entire
police force as we'll as the sher-
ifs office, before the publication
of the police court report for jan
uary, but 1t takes time and money
to get sufficient evidence to pun
ish the delinquents, so working
over lines of least resistance, it
based its protest on the official
report, which the Commissioner
of Safety wants to use to show
the efficiency of his police de-
partment.
