Police and Booze

Tn7 ROSECUTOR WILLIAM H. REMY has
discovered one of the reasons why the
liquor laws are not better enforced Some Of
the police officers don't want to enforce them.
Remy says he has information from per-
sons arrested on booze law violations and from
Federal agents to the effect that raids were
tipped off, in advance and to the effect that
in return for bottles of liquor and other mer-
chandise some policemen permitted the law to.
be violated
Immediate action should be brought
against these policemen and if the charges are
proved they should be removed from the
force. One law should not be picked out for
enforcement to the exclusion of others. At the
same time, policemen should not permit viola
tion of<one law because they don't happen to
believe in it. It seems that there are examples
OF both extremes in Indianapolis.
Remy's revelations should not be taken as
reflection on the whole police force The ma
jority of the policemen undoubtedly are con-
scientiously trying to do their duty

are the Usage Indians OF
~ Oklahoma. DO you know how
they got that way2 Their history
reads like some sort Of fairy tale,
for they are the Cinderellas Of hua
manity Theirs is strange ro-
nance, lstupendous tale OF the
white mans cupidity and the credrl-
ity Of a small handful OF red men.
In the history Of their race, the
Usage tribe is pictured as one Of
the least powerful, a people who
were forever being driven from their
chosen habitation by stronger tribes.
Their wanderings over the continent
were almost perpetual for they were
forced ever into smaller and smaller
areas Of activity by the hosts OF In
vading whites and by their own
people who were more warlike and
whose numbers far exceeded their
own,
Hence In 1928 We find them maxi
ing treaty at st. Louis, Mo-. giving
up all their lands In Kansas and
Arkansas for an annual payment OF
seven thousand dollors for twenty
years and other small emoluments.
So they drifted into the Indian
country, where, in time, they were
allotted that portion OF the terri.
tory, 100000 acres, which was BY
far the most picturesque but the
least promising of all the soil within,
that fertile land. Their home was
wild and wooded, covered with rocks
and hills, and could never be called
fit for agricultural purposes. 1t was
the poorest allotment In point Of
value. ut, so It was thought, for the
smallest and least prosperous tribe
of Indians. There the Osages ling.
cred for years, subsisting as best
they could. their numbers diminish
ig steadily, roaming over their al
most inaccessible crags, poor, happy
and ignorant Of the future which
fate had In store for them.
And then came the magnificent
romance Of the oil well. and today Of
the 2,229 enrolled members Of the
shattered Usage tribe, each last
year received q minimum payment
Of $19,500. Some members are enor.
mously rich. Their wealth per capita
is something over two million dollarss
that Of the white man less than one
thousand.
And so to the Indian, driven and
harassed and prosecuted, to whom
was doled the bit Of ground con-
sidered the least valuable Of all upon
the continent, has come wealth In
comprehensive. The hills OF the
Usage nation haYe poured forth gold
beyond the widest dreams OF those
white men who, seeking to take
everything, let slip after all, the
richest portion of Oklahoma earth.

SYSTEM

H1UGUST A. BREMEN, prose
Al cutting attorney Of Lake
IL County, collected more
than $4,000 in fees from the
Gary city court in 1925, accord
ing to the annual report of the
city clerk. Out of that sum he
paid one deputy-the remainder
is velvet.
He is expected to receive an
equally large sum from the Lake
County Criminal Court, besides
pleasing collections from the city
courts Of three other Lake County
municipalities.
The Lake County prosecutor
should be able to view the high
cost Of living and the rigors of
hard winter with equanimity.
He has fair defense against the
wolf.
No doubt his duties are arduous.
The office of prosecuting attorney
of Lake County requires an in
cumbent of ability. high legal at
tainments and all that-for the
county is populous, wealthy and
of great industrial Importance.
Naturally in such a county the
prosecutor is a, busy official.
But who believes that he actual
ly earns $4,000 to $4,000 a year
as public official? Is any public
official in any county In Indiana
actually worth a remuneration
that compares favorably with the
salary paid the President of the
United States?
William H. Taft, Chief Justice
OF the United States Supreme
Court, receives $17,5OO a year for
presiding over the most august
tribunal In the world. August
Bremen gets $4,000 a year for
prosecuting blind tigers, bootleg
gers and petty liquor violators in
Gary city court. The archaic fee
system that still survives in spots
is absurd.

MOTOR LAW
VIOLATIONS

@OBERT T. HUMES. chief
IR OF the State motor police,
states in his annual report
Just compiled, that more than
$4,000 motor law violations were
reported by his highway cops dur
ing the past year. And his officers
made 5,932 arrests-speeding being
the most popular offense.
Thirteen thousand Is a ! fat,
round number. Plenty large
enough when It is remembered
that It refers to the attractions Of
a single statute. Stil there are
nearly three-quarters OF a million
automobiles operating on Hoosier
highways. So the percentage Of
violations doesn't seem so large.
However, there are only thirty
two highway policemen patroIling
the entire State. and they are not
on the job twenty-four hours~-a
day. So there are many miles of
road and countless thousands of
motorists utter strangers TO the
motor cops.
The policemen, covering so
much territory and being so few,
their discovery OF law violations
is due more to chance than de
sign. They catch only a minute
fraction OF the violators. In spite
of all this they apprehended $4,000
offenders last year. II all the Of
tenders had been sent TO jail they
would have jammed every JAN and
penal institution In Indiana to
more than capacity.
Then add to that all the speed
ers, etc, Arrested by city police,
forces. constables, and deputy
sheriffs over the State. Truly no
one takes the motor vehicle law
very seriously.
