100000, an increase of five millions
since the first of April Vermont has
more savings bank deposits per capita
than any other state and more deposit
tors in proportion to population. In

has enough savings bank depositors to
protect the state from Bolshevism, com

RIGHT POLICY WITH POLICE.

Widespread interest in the fight of
Commissioner Curtis of Boston against
the policemen of that city joining the
American Federation of Labor is felt,
because the public fears control of pub
lie officials by an organization of en-
ployes. Commissioner Curtis holds that
policemen are public officials rather
than employees of private capital and
should not affiliate with any separate
class of citizenship. Governor Cool
idge apparently approves of this rul-
ing.
The position of THESE Massachusetts,
authorities is confirmed by the police
commissioners of the District of Column
bia who have recently decided that the
police department O. that city must be
entirely Independent of any labor or
ganization. The commissioners said:
Authority, especially here in the ma
tional capital at VII times must be rep
resented by a police force that has no
connection with any organization but
the constituted agencies of the govern.
ment.
This decision must not be interpre-
ted to mean that the commissioners are
opposed to labor organizations, nor
must It be taken to mean that they are
unwilling to meet representatives of
any organization of policemen. 1t is
only what 1T purposes to be-a state
e Of ho g
sioners that the organization of police
men, under all circumstances, must be
an organization of policemen and moth
ing more; that it must not be connected
with any labor organization.
The correctness of this decision is
evident to all fair minded people. To
quite large proportion of the Ameri-
can people the policeman is the embodi
ment of law and the most potent gov.
| eminent agency for the enforcement of
law. They never would feel the same
confidence IN and respect for police

that they do for him as a servant of the
government. For the government to
surrender its authority over the police

tion of its office; and hasten govern.
ment by class rather than by the
whole
While it may be proper for the pc
licemen to have an organization among
themselves to urge and request better
compensation and fair conditions, il
would never be safe for this country t,
have its policemen subordinated to any
commercial organization and liable tx
be called from duty at any time to en-
force the demands of any labor or cap
ital organization.

administration of justice to an aggre-
gate that is fairly staggering and that
leads to dissatisfaction and discomfort.
One of the most important problems
which the people have to solve is the
checking of the constantly mounting
cost of state government, especially in
the department of justice. Justice
should be easy, and it should be less
expensive.
The near millennium will be here when
people will be intelligent enough and
fair enough to settle amieably among
themselves all of their personal differ
ences.
