ADAY FOR POLICE

Recommendation that policemen be
paid at least IS a day is made b.
Major Raymond w. Pullman. super
intendant OF police. in his annual re-
port to the District Commissioners
made public today.
Although the department was
handicapped by the loss OF 100 police
men out Of force OF s56 men dur
ing the fiscal year ending July /.
Major Pullman points out. in his re-
port that an excellent showing was
made. When the United States en-
tered the war the District was found
with the smallest police force OF
any world capital. The war time
population passed 10000. Because
Of the large number OF designations
from the department. due to police
men entering the war service or tax
ing up more lucrative work, Major
Pullman made an arrangement with
the War Department. and the gap
was filled with fnrlouShed limited
service mon OF the national army.
Besides looking after the regular
police work OF the District, the MEM
bers OF the Police Department took
an important part in every patriotic
demonstration and every campaign

The department made an excellent
record in clearing MP murder cases.
OF the twenty-seven homicides dur
ing the year, the police arrested
twenty-six murderers while the
twenty-seventh committed suicide.
Major Pullman urges heavy pris-

PRICE KEEPS MILK
FROMD. G. BABIES

A large percentage of the poor chill
dren of Washington are being de-
prived of milk. essential TO their
health and proper development, &C
cording to Miss Estelle Wheeler,
superintendent of the Washington
Diet Kitchen and Infant Welfare
Work
The recent Increase in the price OF
milk to II and IS cents a quart has
caused thousands OF mothers to say:
Il cannot AFFORD to buy milk at that
price," and consequently children lack
the milk that should constitute a
major part OF their daily food. says
Miss Wheeler.
The Children's Bureau OF the De-
partRNpt OF Labor Issued a statement
last summer showing how the child
rem OF Washington were being de-
prived Of milk because of the high
cost OF this necessary diet" said Miss
Wheeler to The Times.
THAT report was based on q sur
vey made last May when milk was
selling at Is cents a quart. The con-
ditions revealed were deplorable.
Since that survey milk has increased
to IL and Is cents quart and nearly
all the poor people who arc able to
buy milk at ali are paying Is cents

great has been the Increase in the

reputed to have $125,00O,000 or more,
whereas there are seventy mine in
England. according to The Financial
Post. Nine Americans have between
$100,000,0O0 and $125,000.000, and Eng
land has sixty eight in that class. But
the scale turns in favor of the United
States as the grades fall, so that our
1886 millionaires outclass England's
5,154. Not too much Importance should
be attached to such comparisons, since
they depend upon calculations both
crude and differing in their bases of
taxes. Whatever errors there may be
in the calculations of wealth, there can
be no error in the statement that
American wealth is not increasing as
the expense OF the poor. In ratio OF In
crease the incomes of the poor grow
faster than those OF milionaires. Our
rich are economizing, and our relatively
poor are earning and spending more
than ever before here as in other coun-
tries When the reverse comes, the
millianaires will lose faster than those
who have less to lose. and whose for

STRAlGHTEN IT OUT At ONCE.

The trade commission is blunt and
plain in its charges of profiteering
against the big mills and packers, 1t is
but fair to assume that this commission
did not bring those charges without
substantial evidence. It declares that
flour mills and meat pckers have prof
tied unconsciously under price fixing.
That has been the conviction of the
consumer for long time The differ
ence between the charges of the con-
sumer and those of the trade commits
sion is that the consumers conviction
was based on suspicion and the charges
of the commission are made with the
assertion that it has the evidence behind
them.
The trade commission has brought
serious charge. 1t is not more against
the millers and packers than agaist the
federal food administration which has
arbitrary supervision over millers and
packers. The commission should bring
forward its evidence in support Of it's
charges. Having said so much which
will shake confidence in the manage
ment Of food conservation it should go
farther and thus permit the administra-
ton opportunity Of specific answer to
the charges brought General assertion
and general denial are not satisfac-
tory.
In the meantime the public should
hold an open mind and retain a judicial
attitude. That one commission should
bring charges which involve the work
OF another is not conclusive evidence
that those charges are true or well
founded.
But in the interests Of food conserva-
ton the inquiry and the answer should
be sharp and to the point. If the millers
and the packers are prof1teering we
want to know 1t and suppress it. If not
we want to know that also.
