OPPOSED THE CHARTER.
Discussed Freely by a Meeting Of the
Educational Labor Association.

Messrs. T. E. Gibbon and H. w O'Mel-
veny paid a visit to the Educational
Labor association at its meeting at
1151a North Main street yesterday after
noon, and, as representatives of the
League for Better City Government, ad-
vocated the new city charter.
The best argument that could have
been made was put forth in the opening
by Mr.. Gibbor. Then the war of logic
began in real earnest. Frank Jones, S.
E. Fulton union candidate for city au-
ditor, DR.. w. E. Doss, Anthony McGinty,
Fred Steinhauer, c. r. Lobdell, Arthur
Vinette, secretary of the Labor con-
gress, and many others took up the op-
position.
The reasons advanced against the
concentration of power in municipal
head, which is contemplated by the
leagues charter, were: First, that it
was contrary to the American doctrine
of an elective government of the people
and by the people: second, that it would
give so much absolute power to the
mayor that the chances of abuse of
power would be greatly increased;
third, that the carrying on of a munich
pal government Is strictly a political
mater, though true, businesslike ad-
ministration of the affairs of the COM
munity Is the object sought-political,
inasmuch as it equally concerns every
elector; fourth, that contrary to the
French proverb that mo one knows
more than everybody" it would reduce
the mass of the people to mere acqui-
escence in the direction of the head to
whom they would have delegated their
power, and no matter either, how un-
fit that head might be to do the direct
ing of the municipal machinery; and,
finally, that the proper remedy for civic
maladministration is direct legislation
and the imperative mandate. inasmuch
as this would give the people an op-
portunity of expression, and also the
power to recall an unfit official.
Mr.. O'Melveny closed the debate.

streets on all occasions and never misses
an opportunity 10 hear Max play his vlo-
