STATE POLICE ASSURED.

At last New Jersey is to have a state police
force. The bill authorizing the establishment
of a constabulary has been passed by the leg
islature over the governors veto and thus be-
comes a law. 1t has been a long fight, but
it was destined to succeed because it was right
With a state police force in both New York
and Pennsylvania it natural that New
Jersey also should have The increasing
amount of crime in the rural districts, the
crowded conditions Of highways due to the
automobile traffic, the game laws and the for
est fire regulations to enforce backed by the
general desirability of having police author
ity with jurisdiction covering the whole state
all showed the wisdom of establishing a state
police.
In fact, the advantages of state police
has been realized for years and it has only
been the persistent opposition of organized
labor that has prevented the realization of such
an organization. Why certain labor leaders
should have such feeling of hostility against
a state police force when they do not oppose
a municipal police force is hard to understand.
OF course IL there is any rioting disorder
the police will be summoned. That is what
the police are for. whether they be under the
jurisdiction of the state municipality. But
the majority OF union men are no more in
favor of disorder than anyone else and there
fore cannot object to the constituted authority.
whether city state. taking the necessary
steps to preserve the peace. Otherwise labor
has nothing to fear and the state as whole
stands to gain great deal.
state police force will be a great credit to
New Jersey just as It has been credit to New
York and Pennsylvania. The legislature is to
be commended for taking the steps necessary
to enact the law in spite of the governors OBJ
iections.

Cadillac Reduction
More Than ''Dopesters :
Here Had Predicted

The much discussed reduction on
Cadillac automobiles came as a
Christmas present to the long list Of
motorists who were waiting to see
what Cadillac would do the first of
the year. The announcement Of a
reduction ranging from 500 to
$1,000 in the Omaha delivered price,
effective January /, was made in the
Sunday papers. "Dopesters" and
motor fans have made all sorts of
predictions regarding the price of
Cadillacs' to be announced, but most
of the dope missed the mark by a
wide margin.
According to J. Fl. Hansen Of the
J. Fl. Hansen Cadillac company, the
official reduction announcement
amounts to considerably more than
most OF the conservative guessers
had estimated. The reduction is a
very substantial one conside ing the
fact that it applies TO the new models
introduced recently. Numerous iin-
provements and rehnements were
made in them.
