Senator Calder Of New York, men,
Der of the Senate District committee.
and one of the earnest advocates of
increased pay for policemen. recently

commissioner of New York city on
the subject of unionizing of police
forces. Senator Calder wrote:
Good men must be paid for. 1t is
impossible to obtain first-class men
for third-class pay. Positions carry
ing with them the responsibility of
policemen should be made attractive
positions.
Police Likened to Army.
THE police are in exactly the same
relation to the city that the Army is
to the country. Suppose the Army at
the call Of q leader either in or out
side of the service should lay down
their arms and refuse to obey their
government Every police force what
soever must be absolutely divorced
from any allegiance other than their
oath of office. This fact must be
scared into the minds of the world.
Otherwise there will be soviet gov
ernment, lawlessness and mob rule.

cedure controls mob violence.
Organized government must have
body Of fearless men who keep from the
heated passions of the day's-unrest and
who will enforce the law at the peril of
their lives in time Of great public stress.
Obligation on Community.
But while there is an obligation on
the part Of the police to maintain them
selves aloof from all other ofganizati tons,
there is also an obligation equally as
great upon the community to see that
its police force is not imposed upon, and
that they are given a living wage. The
responsibility for maintaining an eff
cient police force is chargeahle princi-
rally to the people themselves. We can
not expect men to give the best that is
in them unless their services are appre-
ciated, and IL we are to preserve this
force at its present excellence your men
must receive q substantial increase and
