Reed, Don't Weep

Lack OF voter interest in initia-
tives. referendums and constitu-
tional amendments on our Wash
ington state ballot appears to be
the result of lack of general I'M
Outstanding of the legislation.
In 1914, the high measure on the
ballot received only So per cent of
the votes cast. This figure went
up to 81 per cent in 1912. and to a
high of IS per cent in 1850, largely
through an educational campaign
designed to explain to voters ex-
actly what the measures meant to
them and what their yes or no
votes would do.
Washington has had its share of
trouble with initiative and referen-
dunn measures that passed because
of the all out efforts of a certain
group. They passed because of ig-
norance on the part of the general
public as to exactly what the mea-
sures provided.
1t is extremely important to
every taxpayer in the Stat tie of
Washington that he understand
fully the import of these special
measures on the ballot and be pre-
pared to vote intelligently on them.
1t is not enough that he vote
he must vote with knowledge of
what his vote is doing.
Within the next few weeks, ar
ticles will start appearing in news
papers all over the state explain
ing the measures which will be on
the ballot in November of 1852.
Washington voters should study
them and go to the polls next year
prepared to vote intelligently.
This is not too early to start
thinking about your 1852 vote.

Police Merit Higher Pay

! bOOu JOD.
This is not only evidenced by a
splendid record but also by a grow
ing respect in the community for
the uniformed patrolman.
The department has come a
long way since the day the Wick
ersham committee labeled it "the
worst in the nation"
II is time the city recognized a
job well done with something a
little more substantial than a
thank-you.
At present Seattle pays a first
grade patrolman 5000 month after
four years of service. This is not
as much as the base pay for COM
mon labor in this city. But the
common laborer's wage Is increased
by time and one-half for all over
time after a 40-hour week. The pa
trolman has no 40-hour week. At
best he gets two days off in every
nine. Frequently he is called upon
for extra duty-without any pay.
Under the standards SET up I'M
der the present administration a
patrolman has to be well educated,
be something of lawyer. some
thing of psychologist, in the best
physical condition and have the
CUTS to walk into gunfire when the
occasion calls for that kind OF
courage.
We're getting that kind of man
now for mere $500 per month.
We shouldn't expect it.
Police Chief George Eastman
asking scale of s345 a month for
patrolmen, $500 for sergeants and
$3.50 for captains. He's asking a
40-hour week and nine holidays a
year. He's asking for rs more men
to keep the department at its pre-
sent strength under the 40-hour
week plan.
The request is modest enough.
The City Council should not hest
tate to grant it.
Seattle can not afford to let its
Police Department slip back to the
days of the Wickersham report
the days when poorly paid police
men built mansions on the graft
that was so brazenly distributed in
the department. Old time police re-
porters can remember a gold braid
officer walking casually through
the booking office passing out big
bills to keep the little guys" in
line.
Those days are no more. They
must not be encouraged to return
by a terribly inadequate salary
scale.

The Northwest Enterprise is in
perfect accord with the Pr. Our
citizens are all too quick to over
look the officials who otter lose

There ought to be no hesitancy in
demanding our guardians of the

Yet that department is seldom
mentioned in your demand for JUS
tice. If you had to walk a beat you
would be more appreciative of your
guardian of the law.

How old are you? This ques-

slight embarrassment, according

anyone now IS years of age or a
person who will become IS before
July. l, 1854, needs only to have
been employed approximately 18
months altogether in the past IA
years to qualify for Social Secur-

person it not yet qualified he
can gain wage credits by working
and making up that which he or
she lacks.
GAS far as we are concerned
Putnam said, "there is nothing
personal in the questions asked at
the Social Security office. And
these questions are kept at a mini
mum. Only the information nee

to benefits is requested, and each
