SHORT STOPS.
What the PeopIe are Saying.

What the People are Saying.
The people are more amused than pug
Zled over the transparent humbuggfng OF
the financial statements made by admin
istration newspapers and correspondents.
The publication in distant newspapers
aof a dispatch dated from our city, TO the
effect that San Antonio is a bankrupt
corporation, has brought forth an earnest
protest from administration circles and
newspapers, in the face OF the fact that
the whole burden of their song to tax
payers has been and is, vote the. bonds
or go broke"
The Express of today contains lead
ing editorial headed "A Bankrupt City,"
in which the editor concluSively proves
that our city is not only solvent, but de-
cidedly opulent in its circumstances.
The concluding paragraph of this edi-
torial is as follows: when the taxes for
this year are collected, San Antonio can
not only pay off every liability against
them, but have a good sum to help out
the next year. Does that look like bank
ruptcy?" Then what is the necessity,
the taxpayer will say, of voting the
N-cO,ooO uohuSs
But then in another column on the
same editorial page occurs the following
paragraph: Vote the bonds. 1t is better
to tide over than be broke" The editor
ial proving that the city is solvent and
will actually have surplus on hand al
ter the taxes are paid, is intended forS
foreign use, and the vote the bond
or go broke" is intended for our innocent
taxpayers.
The people understand the matter very
clearly; it all means, vote the bonds in
order that Mr.. Callaghan may go fishing
while the city goes to the dogs.
The people have lost all confidence in
the city administration, marked as it has
been by extravaganza and an utter disre
gard for the peoples Interest and inditfer
ence to public opinion.
A mayor that has spent a large part of
his official term in iunKetingS abroad. in
fishing and hunting, in political Scheming
to perpetuate his bosSism, will not be
trusted with cent more than the people
can help paying. Certainly not will the
people faSten upon pOsterity a large
bonded debt, just TO furnish a surplus
fund for the boss to splurge on. The
opportunity is at hand to rebuke the ad-
and the people won't neglect
it.
Vote the bonds or go broke, won't go
down. To prove that our city could get
along even without mayor we have re-
cent proof; he was off fishing with others
of his cabinet, and the mayor pro tenn
being sick, the city actually got along
without mayor, recorder, marshall and
city council. We might get along without
the paid fire department: the fires would
not be worse.
If we could close the recorders court,
we could do without our police, and GER
tainly we could save 100000 a year on
political trimmings. What we want is an
able, conservative administration for a
couple of years to catch up. The city is
all right-the people are all right but the
city administration has become so utterly
besOtted and demOraized that no cure but
political retirement will do any good.
