of the California cities, when it comes

POLICE ST STEM IMPRESSES
Mayor Baker has been so-deeply. im
" pressed with the police system of Berke-
ley, Cal., as originated and worked out
by Chief of Police Vollmer of that city,
that he will at once send Chief iof Police
Jenkins and one other police officer to
Berkeley to study the Vollmer police
system, (A detailed account of the
Berkeley plan will be found on page 3 of
Section 2 of today's Sunday Journal.)
"I shall adopt the Berkeley system here
in. its entirety," Mayor Baker said.
"While absolute prevention of crime is
an impossibility, when . Vollmers system
Is adopted throughout the United States
it will be a very hard matter far aicrimr
inal to thrive in this country." I
. August Vollmer, Berkeley's I chief of
police, a college-bred man and a mem
ber of the University of California's
faculty, has devoted the major portion
of his time and talents for the last 12
tears in perfecting a system j of thor
oughly policing a city, detecting condi
tions that - would either encourage or
breed crime and removing that cause or
condition, carrying out the old adage
that "an "ounce of prevention I is worth
a pound of cure."'
CITY FREE FROM VICE
So practical has the Berkeleey police
;hlef made the application or his theory
luring his 13 years of continuous ser
vice in that capacity there, Berkeley,
Cal.. "today enjoys the' distinction of be
ing freer from vice and crime than any
other city of Us population in the United
. States. It has been Vollmer's conten
tion that once his system became thor
oughly worked out in the California city
It could be applied in policing every
community throughout the I civilized
world. San Francisco, Los1 Angeles,
Kansas City, St. Louis and even Sew
l'ork and Chicago have profited by the
Berkeley police chief's studies in pre
venting crime rather than waiting for
the commission of a crime to act and
- flattering offers have come to the un
assuming, modest college professor from
both American and Kuropean, cities to
give up his work in Berkeley for the
. more lucrative position or head of a
metropolitan police department. He has
also been frequently urged to accept the
position " of head -of various state and
federal penal institutions, because of
his internationally recognised knowledge
and ' practical application of; penology
ind criminology, but has in; every in-
stance insisted that the work carried
on in Berkeley, at a meagre salary, was
or international importance and there
fore more urgent than merely directing
the operations of. one city's police de
partment, or assuming the duties of
warden of a penal Institution, j
ciflc coast, and more particularly In the
Pacific Northwest, are more encourag
ing: than are conditions throughout the
other sections of the United States, ac
cording to Governor Olcott, who re
turned Friday afternoon after a month's
absence In the East. The ' governor's
itinerary included a trip through Can
ada, a visit to Pennsylvania. New York,
Washington, D. C, and Florida, return
ing by the southern route.
Testimony offered at the conference
of governors .at Harrlsburg, Pa.j De
cember 1, 2 and 3, with more than 30
of the 48 state executives in attendance,
was to the effect that abnormal condi
tions obtained in some sections of the
country.: Considerable apprehension was
voiced by the assembled executives' who
regard the remedy for the situation as
lying mainly In the application of good
common sense on the part of the Amer
ican people and a determination on 'the
part of the people generally to accept
the readjustment back to normal con
ditions now in progeass. ,''
GUESTS OF COUNCIL
Describing his trip and experiences at
the various conferences which called him
East. Governor Olcott stated :
"Following the conference the govern
ors' party, as guests of the common
wealth of Pennsylvania, was taken by
special train to Philadelphia and, in
charge of Mayor Moore and the city
council, were shown the. historical places
of the city and given a ride on the Dela
ware river, viewing the shipping of that
harbor and the shipbuilding activities
at Hogg island and the Cramps works.
Following this a banquet at the Strat-ford-Bellevue
hotel was tendered by the
city. Governor Coolldge and wife of
Massachusetts were in attendance upon
this, as they were the conference.
"In the convention . of state foresters
practically all the forested states were
represented, as was also t.ie federal gov
ernment in the person of Colonel Gree
ley, U. S. forester, and Mr.'.Peters, his
first assistant. Much interest waa
manifested by all in attendance and I
believe considerable good will come of
it. I was much Impressed with the per
sonnel of this body of men and have
never witnessed greater loyalty to their
work nor a more earnest endeavor to
improve conditions affecting fire pro
tection and reforestation than here ex
hibited. Oregon was honored by its rep
resentative being made presiding officer.
FORESTERS ORGANIZE '
"Subsequently there was organized a
national association of state foresters,
Gifford Plnchot, by appointment of
Governor Sproul, is the present for
ester of the state of Pennsylvania.
"Our state, on account of its con
taining more stapding timber than any
other having one-fifth of the available
supply of the United States and now
standing third in its output occupies a
conspicuous and commanding, position.
Its forest policy as originated and car
ried out by its aggressive state board of
forestry has attracted much attention
throughout the United States and is rec
ognized by those in position to know,
as one of the most advanced and for
ward looking of all the states. It is the
only state having a compulsory fire pro
tection law and, in my opinion, its active
members, giving of their time and serv
ing as they do gratuitously, are entitled
to much credit for the good work they
have done and are doing.
AIR SERTICE HEAD FRIENDLY
"When in Washington, among other
things given attention, was a call on
General Menoher. in charge of the air
service, relative to a continuation of the
forest fire patrol in this state "as carried
on by the government the last two years
and an extension of same over the ter
ritory of the entire timbered Northwest,
The forest fire patrol has a friend in
General Menoher and he will, dp every
thing possible with the funds he has.
From Washington, on my way home, I
went to Southern Florida for a brief
visit with" my parents who are spending
the winter there, returning over the
southern route. Having gone East
through Canada as far as Toronto I had
a good chance to observe conditions as
they obtain generally throughout the
United 'States and Canada. From these
observations I feel that conditions on the
coast and particularly the Northwest,
bad as they-may appear in somfe ways
and in some lines, are much superior to
-those existing in practically all other
sections of our country.
Measure Allowing
Appeal in License
' Cancellations, Plan
Senator W. W. Banks Is seriously
contemplating presenting a bill at the
coming session of the state legislature
giving every man deprived of his li
cense by a city council the right to
appeal to the circuit court where the
property interests involved amount to
more than $500, he announced at the
Thursday afternoon session of the city
council's bearings on soft drink license
revocations.
"The hearings conducted by the coun
cil here in these cases have greatly
impressed me with the need of such
legislation," the senator stated.
Banks said in his opinion, without in
tention of impugning the motives of the
council, the council . by the sum
mary manner in ; which the cases
are handled, was revoking , the, li
censes of dealers for one offense,
closing up the businesses of men carry
ing thousands of dollars' worth of legitU here
mate stock,, and leaving the defendant
no recourse, other than to close hjs busi
ness and lose his livelihood and invest
ment. :
"I purpose to include in the bill all
municipalities in the state, granting de
fendants in hearings the right to pro
tect themselves against arbitrary con
fiscation of property and rights, for that
is what it amounts to," Senator Banks
stated.

Listen to this very carefully worded
observation by Governor. Harding:
The transition 'through which the
community is now passing, while nec
essarily uncomfortable, has thus far
been accompanied with only a mini
mum of the unfavorable symptoms' de
veloped on other occasions. The close
of the year 1920, in spite of the fact
that in some branches of economic and
financial life ' there is still much prog
ress to be made before reaching a defi
nite basis for further growth, must
Be regarded as the turning-point In the
process of transition from conditions
produced by the war to the normal
economic basis of- international and in
dustrial life."
Secretary- Houston and Governor
Harding both said that the year "has
been a period of decided advance in
the process of readjustment consequent
upon conditions which the war brought
upon the world. .
THIRD CHRISTMAS SINCE WAR
FINDS EUROPE BELLIGERENT
By J. W. T. Manes
(Written for the lTnlti Vtmh)
New York, Dec 25. The third Christ
mas since the surrender - of , Germany
finds the European nations stiU in bel
ligerent moods, but gradually return
ing to more normal conditions,
A desire for limitation of armament,
which fcas ' especially ' rriarked this
Christmas in Great Britain, . lis the
most pronounced sign that Eui-ope is
getting ttck to pre-war - conditions.
France has not shown as much inter
est in the movement -as might be de
sirable, but that is. because the French
people are still troubled by the fear
of a revival of German militarism.
- Anglo-French relations K are more
strained this Christmas titan they have
been for many years. Not the (present
interest, but future ambitions, are the
cause. France wants to secure an over
seas Influence ut of the war equal
ing the British gain. : I
Italian recovery from the efflecto.Qf
the war is the weakest among all the
allies. Italy's financial situation this
Christmas is disquieting. Government
expenses are not being met by taxa
tion and there seems no present way
whereby enough new taxes can -be in4
posed without threatening consequences.
The Russians will not celebrate
ChrlBtmas, as they have nothing with
which to celebrate it. This is the fourth
Christmas season for the Botshevlki. '
Each succeeding one has, been worse
than its predecessor. But the Bolshe
vik! have, at least convinced the allies
of the uselessness of trying j to fight
Bolshevism by warring upon i it from
without. , i '
Germany has every reason ; to cele
brate a happy Christmas. During the
last year world opinion has unmistak
ably swerved to the point of view that
the German people must be helped to
their feet as an. economic policy of
benefit to the world at largo.;
Of all the European nations, Greece
will have the happiest Christmas cele
bration. The return of Constantino to
Athens after the plebiscite in his favor
makes him the, only king In the world
who holds his throne by direct vote of
the people.
