In tact, it read at the rate of from ten cents to twenty-five cents a was expensive reading for the policemen, was a salary cut for the policemen who not been recommissioned within the bail two months.

Every man who didn't last a new commission was minus from $75. The slip explained why. POLICE DEPARTMENT, KANMETROPOLITAN CITY, October 1, 1909-No addiional appropriation has been made by the common concil of Kansas City, as requested by the board of police commissioners, August 1709, to enable the board of police commissioners to the increased salaries fixed by the law, which went into efpay, tect June 14, 1909. All who have been commissioned since that date, however, must be paid according to the new law. These new appointees are Those mostly probationaries at $55 month.

holding commissions Issued under the old law will be paid according to the salaries fixed by the old law in torce at the time their commissions were issued, until additional funds are provided for the common council. Board of Police Commissioners. B. E. LINE, Secretary.

THE POLICE BOARD POWERLESS. "It's the only thing we could do," Thomas R. Marks, police commissioner, said yesterday afternoon. "We paid as long as we could, believing that the coun-1 cil 1 would give us money. Then we had 10 stop.

If the council will not provide the money to pay for the raises in salaries we can't pay the men. I'm sorry. I'd like to see every man get all money that is coming to him, but if the and the support city administrapolice department has, not the sympathy tion, there is nothing for us to do but submit. It hurting the force to have to cut the salaries, but that is not our fault. What are we going to do when there is no money to pay with IT SPARED NO ONE.

The order affects is everyone on the police force from hostlers to the chief of police, Frank F. Snow. Under the old law, the chief received $3,000 a year. The new raised his salary to $4,000 a year and this had been paid until The inspector of detectives, Edward Boyle, received $3,000 a year for months. Yesterday he went back to the $2.500 year.

Captains dropped $150 to $125. Lieutenants from $125 to $100, sergeants went from $100 to $'0, detectives from $115 to $90, patrolmen, and probationary partolmen $05 to $60. The only members of the force who were not affected by the order are new patrolmen who have been appointed within the last month. And this order includes those detectives and others who desired to give Charles Clark and Judge Walls, legislators, a present" for passing the bill and getting them their raises in salary. There was always some question about the right of the police board to pay men commissioned before August 16 of this Year more than the salaries provided under the law that was operative at the time they were commissioned.

The general law is that no one holding a public office can have his compensation increased or reduced during the time for which he was elected or appointed. Men who commissions issued before the law took effect are holding under the old law only. Of course, all the officers above the rank of probationary patrolmen are Democrats and of the same political faith the city government. The board is slowly dropping them and it may help to make it easier for them to part with the Lower salaries. The Democratic council refuses to let the police board have the tones because the commissioners are Republicans and it may be that it was done without remembering that an order of this kind would make Democrats bear the brunt of the loss.
