CITY GovERNMEN +,

Salem has city election the first
week In December. One Alderman is
to be elected In each ward. The tax.
payers and Intelligent, progressiN 6
citizens of each ward should begin tU
study the subject how to get the best
man to serve them In the city govern
ment. They should find men who
have no axes to grind, no wood to sell,
no special interest to serve, and elect
four such men to the council. They
should not elect men on their general
reputation as good fellows. They
should be elected on specific pledges of
good government.
Four such aldermen would surely
6ud some good men among the
holdover aldermen who would unite
with them to give our city model
good government, u majority Of men
who would he willing to serve for the
honor that comes to a man from un-
selfish devotion to the public as the
best means Of rising 10 the estimation
of bis fellowmen, and as the first step
ping stone to political advancement.
Salem could have no better adver-
tisement In these days Of rotten city
politics than model city government,
enterprise without extravaganza, pro-
gress without booming, q good public
service without penuriousness. That
would do more to make our city
known far and wide than any board Of
trade. That would bring ue population
aud capital, business and manufactures.
In a city of churches and schools
there should be enough intelligence
and civic virtue among the citizens tn
Lring about such government Of the
city. If our men aud women with q
thimblefull Of brains and upwards will
lay aside their churchlsms and party.
isms for few weeks and study the
question Of good government they eau
take the first step to accomplish this
eud. Let US make this little city a
snining light among all the cities Of
our country for all the qualities that
are best In live, progressive, intelli.
gent American community.

THE CITY CHARTER.

imly,nrtmmi MeeIim..

The Councils Committee on Revision
of the City Charter met at the City
Treasurer's Office last night to receive
suggestions from citizens as TO any
change which may he desired in the
charter but the suggestive citizens did
not natcrialize end the committee had
comparatively little to do. Those pres
cnt were McSsrs Sheldon. Wrenn ARDS
and Cooke. Of the committee, and the
City Attorney.
The. committeeman were evidently
surprised at the lack Of interest shown
IN the matter. especially since some fen
lures of the present charter had been
discussed In the public prints.
The Court of Appeals having decided
that cX-City Collectors had no legal
right to collect delinquent taxes. MIR.
Wrenn was of the opinion that provision
should he made for turning over his
books to the city. -I
MI, Cooke favored creating the office
OF delinquent tax collector and CITY
ATTORNEY Shelton agreed with him.
At this point Chairman Sheldon said
that as no one had appeared to offer
suggestions. I've desired that the news
papers would ask that the people dis
cuss objections to the present charter.
especially as To the duties and plans
Of the Mayor and the election of High
Constable ard Police Justice.
The committee then went into secret
session. with the understanding that no
final action would be taken.
