MIR. sTRoNG,s LECTURE.
An Important Subject Very Ably Dis
cussed.


cussed.
1t has seldom been the good fortune
of the citizens of The Dalles to listen
to an ADLER discussion of a question in
which all are interested, than they
were privileged to hear at the Congre-
gational church in this city last even
ing. The speaker, Hon. Thomas N.
Strong, through having served as one
of the Committee of One Hundred, !"
in Portland, had become thoroughly
conversant with the vices predominant
and the reforms needed in large cities,
hence the subject, Municipal Re-
form," is one upon which he is prepar-
ed to speak advisedly.
Corruption in municipal govern
ment, Mr.. Strong believes, is one of
the greatest evils now besetting our
national welfare, and until these evils
are eleminated they will have a con-
taminating influence upon the entire
people. Mr.. Strong dwelt at some
length upon the evils that exist in
large cities, and especially in the city
of Portland, denouncing in strong
terms the system now in vogue which
centralizes government. Placing too
great appointive power in the hands of
the mayor, he considers an unwise
policy, since it removes the right of
self government from the people, and
is power SO susceptible of abuse. At
some length he dwelt upon the abuse
of this power in Portland, illustrating
how it resulted in placing corrupt and
men in official positions,
on the police force. Lack
of patriotism, or rather the inclination
to use official position for personal
gain, and the disposition of officials to
punish the poor and obscure, while. the
misdeeds of the rich and influential are
Mr.. Strong considers the
foundation of the greatest evils that
exist today in municipal governments.
AS means of reform, remedy for |
these evils, the speaker recommended
that the powers of city government be |
that each municipality be |
granted the right to legislate exclus-
lively for itself; that all appointive |
power be taken from mayors and dele
gated either to committees or the peo-
Pile by direct vote, and that the citizens
Of every municipality interest them.
selves in placing honest, patriotic men
IN Office. The right to regulate muni-
,ipal government, he asserts, rests in
,he people, the taxpayers and voters.
Ind if evils exist it is their privilege
10 remove them.
