COMMERCE BODY
ASKS ACTION TO
PREVENT RIOTS
,
Omaha C. of C. Makes Recom
mendations With View of
Guarding Against Recur
rence of Disorders.
7
The Omaha Chamber of Com
merce at a meeting: Tuesday passed
the following recommendations-with
a view of preventing a recurrence of
the riots here:
"1. At a special session of the
legislature, if one should be held at
this time, or at the next regular ses
sion, we recommend changes in the
laws relating to the city government
of Omaha so as to enable the build
ing up of a more efficient police
force. The city government should
be given more powers and a greater
latitude in the following particulars:
"(a). The city should have power
to appropriate and expend suffi
cient amount of money to secure the
formation of an adequate police
force.
"(b). It should have power to
keep this force efficient by promo
tion for merit and not for seniority
alone, and by making removals for
' the good of the service and not
solely on proving charges of mis
conduct.
Better Police Pay.
"(c). The number of the police
force should be increased by at least
125 men and they should be paid
such wages as will enable the ad
ministration to secure the best
available material.
"(d) The law should be so
changed as to permit the selection
of a trained chief of police and in
spector of police from any part of
the country where he may be found.
"2. We recommend that the city
government within its present pow
ers and such enlarged powers as
it may receive through legislation,
take the following action:
"(a) A trained inspector of po
lice should be appointed.
"b) There should be a com
petent chief- of police with police
training and experience, but not
necessarily ' appointed , from the
present force, who shall see that
the rules of the department are
rigidly enforced.
"(c) The force should be equip
' ped at the city's expense, with
adequate weapons for use in case of
riot. ' '
"(d) When the city government
has determined which member of
its body it will place in xcharge 6,f
the police department, it should give
support to that administration so
long as it maintains the police com
missioner in office.
Need New City JaiL
"(e) The city should proceed
with its plans for the construction
of a modern city jail. The office of
the chief of police and his staff
should be maintained in such build
ing. ,
"3. Recognizing that there is no
form or machinery of government
which can maintain law and order
in a community without the action
of the people themselves, we call for
the creation and devolpoment in
this community of a greater respect
for law and order, and loyal support
of the elected representatives of the
1 people while administering a public
office. We especially, deplore any
studied attempt to discredit a pub?
lie administration by exploiting
false chances."
