What the People are Saying.

What the People are Saying.
| When the people vote a candi-
date into a good fat Office, on the
condition that he will perform all
the business Of the Office without
extra cost to the people, for the
salary named, it amounts to a con-
tract, and the people don't forget
the promises made, although they
may not have an opportunity to
get even for any default on the
part Of the official until another
election.
1t is the contracts that the peO-
pie exact from candidates for of
flee that forms the basis of our
election campaigns. 1t is the dis
regard after election for the prom
ises made by candidates for office
while before the people asking
their votes, that causes the people
to throw their past favOrites over
board.
Once in office, it seems to become
the business of some office holders
to forget their public promises and
to entrench themselves behind
combinations to down the gener-
Gus confidence of the people. But
the people will catch on eventual
ly, and down them at the ballot
box.
To illustrate: L. (may stand for
Lewey) desiring the office of city
attorney at a salary of $4,000 a year
offers himself as candidate to p.
which stands for people, on the
condition that he, L., will perform
all the business of the office for the
salary. p. (the people, say: ave
will employ you at that salary on
your terms" l.. enters upon his
employment but soon discovers
that his attendance upon the. re-
cOrder's court, interferes with his
other business and he asks the city
council for an assistant to help
him do the job he had undertaken
for $1,000 year; the council ignore
the original contract with, p. and
give him an assistant at an addi-
tional salary of $500 per wear. Now
P. thinks L. has jumped his con-
tract.
l.. is welcome to this illustration
as a companion piece to his "a.
and B" illustration. The failure
of public officials to stick up to
their contracts with up" may ac-
count for the distressed condition
of the city treasury, but it does not
Justify the use of illegal and I'M
constitutional methods to collect
back taxes.
The rapid increase of the city |
emplOyments-the consequent in
crease of city expenditures; the
prospective burden of city litiga-
ton, piled higher than the figure
of justice in the old courthouse, no |
doubt calls for extraordinary
methods to collect taxes; but it
would be an equally Unstable
method so station the police force
at the street corners with orders to |
club delinQuents as the one endors- |
ed by the city attorney Lewey, to |
ride down the constitution and
laws of the state.
