““ £... . The direction of the .State, that the fund should be one for the benefit of the police officer or his representative, under certain conditions, was subject to change or revocation at any time at the will of the legislature. There was no contract on the part of the State that its disposition should always continue as originally provided. Until the particular event should happen upon which the money or any part of it was to be paid, there was no vested right in the officer to such payment.’ 132 U. S. Rep. 471 .” Luján v.
