Advisability of changing the name

Perhaps the Indianapolis police
department needs more men.
New York. with a population
twenty times as great as the
Hoosier metropolis, has a police
force thirty times as large. Chi
cago also maintains much larger
force proportionately. Yet it
hasn't enought policemen to give
its gunner steady, practice in

Still the effectiveness of a DO
lice department is not altogether
dependent on the number Of men
on the pay roll.
There are thousands Of horse
thief detectives enrolled in In
diana, but there is no record that
they have ever caught a horse
thief. On the other hand the
Canadian Mounted Police-with
fewer men than are on the In
dianapolis police force-actually
ruled with inflexible justice all Of
western Canada. No malefactor
escaped them in six reels and
mighty few in real life.
The answer to the problem of
protection Of life and property of
law-abiding citizens in this city is
not entirely more police, but more
effective use of the present force
at the Departments disposal.

In spite of warnings that "this infant in

idea of municipal ownership to it would kill

light plants in America grew from one in 1881
to 1851 in 1922. What is more interesting is
that municipal plants are increasing while pri-

publicly owned. Between 1917 and 1922, mu-

LOW BOND
SCALE
BY GAYLORD NELSON

T1LARENCE GLIDEWELL,
IL SO years old, arrested the
first of the week charged
with a serious crime against lit
tie girls and released on $4,000
bond, failed to appear in city court
Tuesday as scheduled. The bond
was forfeited.
The two professional bondsmen
who were sureties were dismayed
at their clients perfidy. Because
Of their failure to produce the de-
PENDANT. the city judge barred the
pair from going on other bonds.
Detectives scurry around to find
the bond jumper.
AS a result Of the incident po-
lice authorities severely criticise
the bond scale set by the city
judge. There is cause for right
eous indignation TO bubble.
A shiftless vagabond, arrested
on suspicion, might be compelled
to give a $4,000 bond. A man
arrested on a $4,000 grand
larceny charge might be released
on a $4,000 bond. And one ac-
cused Of a crime only a little less
serious than murder is permitted
to go on a $4,000 bond of ques-
tionable value.
Apparently the bond scale in
city court bears no relation to
the seriousness of the offenses, but
is fixed according to the varying
state of the judges digestion. Con-
sequently bond jumping is Of fire.
quent occurrence in the municipal
tribunal.
Allowing arrested persons their
freedom pending trial, after they
have posted suitable forfeit, is
proper. To keep persons who may
be innocent Of wrongdoing, and
others charged with minor Of
lenses, confined in Jail awaiting
trial subjects them to unnecessary
hardship.
But the sole purpose Of bail
bonds IS to insure presence of
defendants when wanted, not to
produce municipal revenue
through forfeitures. Police and
city court should get together and
cut the bond to fit each individual
case. Misfit bonds encourage jump
ing. Both police and court have
enough to do without chasing
jumpers.

On the Pacific Coast the battle between
the private interests and the cities is on in

and hence productive of huge profits, the pri-

the tide toward public ownership. In spite of
these efforts, California, Washington and Ore
gon have held their own since 1917, and in
California private plants have decreased thir-
teen in number. And on the Pacific three great
seaports, Seattle San Francisco and Los
Angeles will soon form the nucleus for pub

grave.

incident was not unusual.
Only a few days ago the body
Of another man was recovered
from the river. 1t was never
identified. Tuesday youth, victim
of an auto crash just outside the
city, died at city hospital. Nothing
to establish his identity has been
found. The motorist with whom
he was riding at the time of the
accident had merely picked him up
and knew nothing of him.
Almost every week Indianapolis
buries the body Of a nameless I'M

inferred. Every unidentified
corpse was once a human being,
vibrant with life and feeling. Some

mothers waiting hopefully-and

The Logic in Legal
Murder

T-ERNARD GRANT was in Chicago Jail
D under sentence to be hanged by the neck
,until he was dead.
- He had been convicted of murder by the
Great State of Illinois. Following the law Of
AN eye for an eye and tooth for tooth, the
State, meaning the people of Illinois, INDUCES
in capital punishment by hanging.
And Grant was being held in prison until
The State was ready to spring the trap and let
his body fall until the end of the rope was
Preached and the sudden stop broke his neck.
But another prisoner, in jail charged with
the same murder, stabbed Grant five times. His
blood was flowing fast from the wounds. I'm
less the flow was stopped and more blood was
put into his veins by TRANSMISSION, Grant would
die.
The Jail physician, in whom the Ife-saving
instinct was still alive, wanted Grant to let him
save his life by blood TRANSMISSION. Grant OBJ
jected. He wouldn't submit So there was no
blood TRANSMISSION and Grant died.
Grant s logic was simple. He knew the
he couldn t lsee any reason to have his life
saved by blood TRANSMISSION when it was only to
be saved long enough to be taken from him by
hanging.
just what the States argument was we
don't know. It must have been that Grant S
life belonged to the State, and as the State had
decreed hanging Grant had no right to die any
other way. Hence, in dying the way he did
Grant cheated the State of it's vengeance
But Grant might have replied that his life
was his own until the State took it by hanging,
and he had right to die if he wanted to. He
might have reasoned that he was under no par
ticular obligation to take care of his life and
help save it until the State took it in its own
legal way.
1t may be that the State had the right to
tie Grant down and forcibly save his life by
blood TRANSMISSION, so that the law could SOL
emily pursue it's course and hang him by the
neck on the appointed day. But being ply
stefan, as well as an officer of the State, the
jail doctor may have been reluctant to exer-
else his skill to forcibly save Grants life for
no better purpose than to make it possible for
the State to take it away by force little later.
Capital punishment seems simple enough
when it takes its ordinary course, but the logic
of it gets bit complicated when one of it's
victims refuses to be saved in order to be
killed
