ever ia a matter OF no consequence and
Ia referred to only as Nh illustration Of
republican campaign methods,
Judge William d. Smith Ia an old and
honored citizen OF Helena. Everyone OF
his legion OF friends know him as q man
of upright character, a man possessed
Of excallent Judgment and before whom
all will have a fair hearing, He ia par-
sticularly we'll qualified for the duties Of
police magistrate by reason Of expert
ence. He has filed the office to the sat
lsfaotion OF all citizens and will there
fore be no novice il again called to serve,
In this respect he has a striking advant-
age over his opponent, and n that
should appeal to the good sense OF all
oitizens on election day. The police
magistgaoy requires neither a compre-
hensive knowledge Of legal lore Q the
scholarly attainments OF at eminent
jurist. The office, however, does require
u sound knowledge Of the common law,
a knowledge of human character aa seen
in a police court and a keen Judgment,
Judge Smith has been through the mill,
he knows what should be done and how
to do it. He is eminently fitted to the
position and should receive the votes OF
all good citizens who appreciate the
value of a capable police magistrate.

"THE proceedings not merely OF the
past few days, but the record Of the adj
ministration known as the ''sure thing"
administration convincingly prove that
for the honor of the city, the city we
love to call the Queen City of the Rock
les, a. change of methods must be inau-
rnrated. x x y Y Gang rule, in its
present form, has characterized the
methods of the present administration,
and, despite the fact that a stern and
pronounced opposition has been pub
licly avowed against the present incum-
bent, the wishes Of his party have been
disregarded in order that those who
profit by questionable methods should
retain in the ascendancy."-From
County Attorney Nolan's speech in the
democratic city convention.
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1892-04-03
A COSTLY OFFICIAL.

Resolved, That the salary of the city Off
cials fixed by law is, and should be, the full
measure of the obligation of the city for
the discharge of the duties of their offices;
that no appropriation should be made for
the payment Of assistants to such officials
except when in extraordinary emergencies
the employment of such assistants may
have been previously authorized by the city
council From the resolutions adopted at
the democratic city convention.
This means that Mr.. Curtin, if elected,
will appoint a city attorney who will do
his full duty, who will not interpret the
law to suit his w personal convenience,
who will not cost the city $3.50 besides
his salary. AS The INDEPENDENT has
shown without denial, Mr.. Craven by
inexcusable failure to do what was re-
CURED OF him proved an expensive
luxury to the taxpayers. The ordinances
require him to defend the city and city
officials in their official capacity. Build
ing Inspector McNally was sued for
Negligence as building Inspector. He
applied for the city attorneys services
and was refused. He was compelled to
hire other attorneys who won his case
and charged him $3.50 for fees. This bill
was paid by the aldermen, not in the
light of strict %instice to the taxpayers,
but because it was believed that Mr..
McNally should not suffer a hardship
through the city attorneys failure to do
his duty.
Now, then, when the case is appealed
to the supreme court, Mr.. McNally once
more applies to Mr.. Craven and this
time the city attorney says he will de-
fend the building inspector if the latter
insists. These are the un~controverted
facts in the case. IT Mr.. Craven had
expressed the same willingness to defend
McNally at the outset the taxpayers
would not have lost $3.50 by the trans
action. This is not a large sum Of
money, but a good deal OF meaning is at
tached to the figures in this instance.
John G.. Curtin will appoint no rare
exotic to the city attorneys office.

HOW TO STOP 1T.

Mayor Kleinschmidt is no tyro in poll
tics. He has been active in the circles
of his party since Helena was incorpo-
rated as a city and he knows how to
pull strings. He is always in to win
and the ''sirloin" crowd of heelers fol-
lowing him are in for the "stuff."
Kl%einschmidt is too much of a politi-
clan to overlook the men who are break
ing their necks to elect him.
While nobody is inclined to question
the mayors character for personal in
tegrity, it must not be forgotten that his
election means more power to the sure
thing kings and their slaves. Bad as
the reputation Of the city as a resort
for these thugs is, it will be infinitely
worse if they are victorious tomorrow.
They are always looking for the best of
it and when they work for one candi-
date their object is either revenge on
his opponent or reward for themselves.
In this instance it is reward. They have
enjoyed a good thing during the past
year and they propose to continue 1T.
For this reason very little stock is to be
taken in the mild limitations that the
mayor, if reelected, will arrange ap-
pointments SO that this element will
lose it's power. Matters have gone too
far to permit any such supposition. 1t
is generally understood among the may
or's close friends that he is looking for a
larger sphere to develop his political
ambitions. He has the honorable and
praiseworthy ambition to be governor
of Montana, and to win the nomination
it will be necessary to gather all forces.
Will he, then, overlook the "boys'
who helped him to the mayors office?
Not much.
And how will he have their support if
he Toes not bestoW certain favors in the
way of appointments? The situation,
in a nutshell, is that successful politi-
clans pay for what they get. The "slr.
loin" gang of sure-thing people helped
the mayor into Office last year and have
enjoyed certain emoluments since in the
way of robbing strangers and citizen!
by means Of snap faro boxes. These at
fairs have been of public notoriety, nc
matter whether the mayor was cogni,
zant or not. All other citizens knew

yond dispute, that these robberies have
occurred almost without number. Thi
paper has reported these affairs in dc
tail and no other paper has made publ
denial Of the facts as printed, in q singl
= instance.
A The question to determine to-morro,
is whether the citizens of this town ar
willing to submit to the continued rul
: OF this ~sure-thing gang in politics
whether they will be allowed to c@ontinu
q their robberies in defiance of law O
whether they shall be turned down t
o stay. There is but one way open t

had NusINESS METHODA

For the purpose of illustration the
following case may DO supposed: The
proprietor of a large mercantile house
secures a manager who is believed to be
thoroughly capable and reliable. Be,
fore starting on a years visit to Europe
he hstructs the manager to mail to him
at the end of each quarter a report OF
every dollar received and expended in
the business, with vouchers, statements,
etc. He desires this information that
he may know promptly at tho end of
each three months just where he stands.
1T is strict business, he Is a business
man and expects his manager to obey
methods. At the end of the year the
proprietor returns without receiving n
OF these reports. What do you think
would happen to the manager under
these circumstances?
Let us sec how closely this case fits
City Treasurer Walker. He was elected
last year to the important Office Of City
Treasurer, an office where the strictest
business methods should be applied,
He receives and disburses the city's
funds, and is the employe and agent of
the taxpayers in a department very
close to their pockets. The city coun-
Gil, representing the people, ask Mr..
Walker to fill certain requirements, as
follows:
Section 5, article 4, chapter 4 Of the
revised ordinances reads as follows:
"As treasurer and collector he shall, at
the end of each quarter of the fiscal year,
and oftener if required, prepare and deliver
to the city clerk q full and complete report
for the quarter, stating the amount Of re-
ceipts and expenditures of his office n ex-
hibitlng all accounts and vouchers for set
Element with the CITY council"
Section 2, article 4, chapter 4 Of the
revised ordinance reads:
"As ex-officio collector he shall faithfully
collect all taxes that may become due. He
shall cancel each warrant on his register as
the same is taken up or paid, and report all
warrants cancelled quarterly to the city
council and then deliver such warrants to
the CITY clerk for the action of the city
council
Mr.. Walker has not only failed to
make these reports, but has failed to ex-
plain his negligence. The Importance
of attending to these duties cannot be
overestimated. The aldermen, at the
end of every quarter, should have before
them a detailed statement Of all &C
counts in the city ~treasurer's office.
They should have this information, not
only as a safeguard, but that they may
act intelligently on legislation in any
way connected with the city's finances.
1t seems to us that Treasurer Walk
er's negligence in this matter is open to
the severest criticism. An officer who
cannot furnish quarterly reports of his
business certainly lacks necessary re-
quirements for his position.

THE increased debt of the city
under ex-Mayor Bradford's admin
istration was $4,000. Under Mayor
Kleinschmidt's administration there
is an increased debt Of $4,000 or
to state the matter more mlnutely,
an increase over an increase OF
$4,000. This might occur under
reasonable conditions, but the question
is, where did this extra $4,000 60. It
was not consumed by the street depart
ment, for the records show that the
street expenditures under Mayor Brad
ford's administration we're more than
twice the sum spent for the same de-
partment under the present regime. It
may also be added that twice as much
| actual work was done IN this line under
the direction of Commissioner John
