Police Expansion
to Be Topic When
Budget Discussed
New Patrol and Substation
SjMftu Coiiaidered on At
sumption That Fundi
Available.
. Improved police protection i
Mlifdulcl 1 prime iuc of tin
uffW'i discussion by t lie city com
iti iftsion over the V22 city budiict.
The commissioner! ire to meet
tliit week. required by the city
ihtrter, to apportion the fundi, avail
able for their uiie Curing the next
twelve munthi. Approximately
4'0.000 in to be apportioned to the
tarioui department, $50,000 more
than was allotted latt year.
Karri department is ubmitting es
timates to Finance Commissioner
liuller, which will form the basis
of the apportionment. 1 As in past
rars, the estimates are certain to
run over the amount available by
ncveral hundred thousand dollars, it
being the commission's task to
prune these to a point within the
revenue.
Police Funds Inadequate.
The case for increased police ap
propriations rests upon the admitted
inadequacy of present funds to pro.
vide tor the patrol of the city even
miller the program of former years.
Increased necessity for traffic protec
tion and other bpecial duty, has cut
into the regular patrol force to such
.'in extent that a patrolman in a resi
lience section has become a novelty.
Outside of the business and a few
scattered sections, '"beatk" in the
residence section are not covered. In
hese districts criminals virtually
have free sway, stibjevt only to the
protection which can bo given from
Central or South. Side police sta
tions upon the call of citizens who
report a crime or suspicious circum
stance. Twenty-eight additional patrolmen
arc needed to fill up the present
'beats." These would require an in
crease of approximately $50,000 in
the police budget.
Assuming such a sum available,
police department heads are giving
consideration to a new patrol sys
tem, based on the establishment of
several substations in scattered sec
tions of the city. Under this sys
tem niotorcyfe officers would be pit
duty at each substation, some pa
trolling the territory assigned to
each station and others subject to
call on emergency runs.
The system is operating in Kansau
City and elsewhere . with marked
auccess, according to reports from
the cities concerned. Advantages
cited are a more frequent patrol ana
a much quicker response to emei
gency calls, frequently enabling the
capture of burglars or highwaymen
before they have a chance to get far
from the scene of their activity.
Motorcycle officers on such patrol
duty also are effective in eliminat
ing fast and reckless automobile
driving in outlying sectons.
The increase of burglaries, hold
ups and similar crimes in Omaha is
not due to any local cause, accord
ing to police department heads Other
cities report similar tendencies. It
is impossible to check such out
breaks without some comprehensive
patrol which covers the city, police
declare, and makes it unnecessary to
answer emergency calls from a sta
tion which may be from two to five
miles from the scene of the crime.
First Arrest of New Year

' unaware of the fact, his were the sig
nal honors this morning of being

Favorable and Unfavorable
The plosc of the year i a time for taking stock. No buni
ness man wishes to hubs seeing any of the optimistic signs for the
future, no more does he wish to conceal from himself whatever
unfavorable prospects there may be.
It is this that makes the survey of business conditions which
has just been issued by the joint effort of the American Eaglo Fire
Insurance company and its associates so valuable at this time.
Without further introduction is presented the favorable and un
favorable factory in the political and commercial world as given
in this little handbook:

law; refunding and settlement of foreign loans; revising of mer

UNFAVORABLE
Tax law a revision of a war-time measure instead of an equit
able just peace-time tax law Situation in Silesia The war has
given democratic government to a swarm of little countries in
Europe, Asia and Africa that never thought seriously about gov
erning themselves. Some of them in the Balkans, for instance, had
never shown special fitness for anything in government higher than
brigandage Foreign countries not paying interest on loans and not
acknowledging debt for loans made by the United States should
be . prevented by this government from selling securities here
Second Belgian loan floated in the United States to purchase wheat '
and supplies in this country was used mostly to purchase Argen
tine wheat Shipping board investigation shows corruption, brib
ery, graft and wholesale waste of funds Chairman Lasker of
shipping board says if it were not backed financially by the gov
ernment it would be the greatest bankrupt in history of country.

of 2,500 or more inhabitants increased 28.6 per cent and rural
population gained only 3.1 jer cent Clayton anti-trust law Dis
solved trusts subject to reinvestigation Fire waste.
COMMERCIAL FAVORABLE -
Industry slightly more active The great basic manufactur
ing industries have adjusted their affairs to the new condtions of
things South benefits greatly from the big rise in cotton Great
strides of a constructive character have been made and pessimism,
which had become almost chronic, is giving way to optimism
Public have demonstrated their recognition of price reductions by
coming forward and purchasing normal quantities of merchandise
priced attractively Agricultural population much less uncomfort
ably circumstanced this fall than year ago Grain has gone to
market in immense volumes Secretary of Treasury Mellon says
worst of economic icaction of country has been passed, with every
indication now existing for a rapid business recovery and advent
of more prosperous times Trade reports show undercurrent of
trade revival and in some directions tangible improvement is
shown Secretary of commerce co-operating to finance foreign
trade and reorganization of foreign trade serves to place American
exporter on an equal and better footing than foreign competitor
Federal reserve board says employment still limited in many in
dustrial districts, but prospects for improvement are good. Grain
and cotton are moving to market Wool and rubber moving more
encouragingly. Frozen credits are slowly moving toward liquida
tion as inventories are reduced Cost of living decline most marked
in agricultural products, textiles, hides, leather and iron and steel
products Bradstreet's commoditv price index $11.3514 Novem

great a decline in commodity prices in so short a time Anthracite

542,000 tons 72 per cent of imports carried in United States ves

257,868,583, an increase of 5.6 per cent.'
UNFAVORABLE

pared with recent earlier years Country needs cheaper cost of

States after allowing for depreciation in value of mark Business
