POLITICAL MOVEMENT.

To the DAILY LIGHT:
Our democratic morning paper,
the Express, is evidently trying to
take care of the local republicans.
This sort of care is not very healthy
to sound republicanism. In the
mornings Express is a suggestion
that the chairman of the repub-
lican county executive committee
will soon take the matter Of elect
ing delegates into his hands, etc.
1t is time the republican party
was organized decently. There
should be held a regular delegate
convention-every precinct in the
county represented. In every pre-
cinct in the county republican
votes were cast at the last election.
The usual Joe. Cassiano-Thad.
Smith republican mass-meeting
convention is too disgraceful to be
tolerated again. Let the executive
committee call a delegate conven-
ton, giving the people ample time
to meet, and we will find that we
have republican party hi Bexar.

what the People are Saying.

ShOhI bIOFS.
What the People are Saying.
The people will notice that there
has been a slight interruption to
Short Stops; we left them guess
ing over the auditors last quarter
ly report.
Our attempt to unravel this re-
port so as to make it Ineligible
to the ordinary taxpayer, was not
satisfactory. No statement in our
review was directed toward any
one of a personal nature. If there
are any mistakes in statements,
the auditors report is the authori-
ty upon which the review is based.
1t is evident that by the auditors
report it is not intended to give to
the public an Ineligible state.
ment of the financial condition of
the city.
A large:bulk of the bills paid in
the last quarter belonged to other
quarters, while the full amount
due on bills for the past quarter
will have to be liquidated in the
next or coming quarters.
Our city government has reached
a serious condition. condition
that should challenge the earnest
attention of the mayor and his able
city council.
That our people or city Is bank.
rupt is not so-but that we are ap-
preaching q crisis, il we have not
already reached it, must be evident
to any one who will look into the
facts.
Today the city is delinquent with
it's ''officers and assistants" two
months pay. What its further de-
linquency up to date is, we have no
means of guessing at, but 1T is fair
to presume that the city is at
least $4,000 behind in its current
bills up to the 31st of December.
The city collector has turned
over to the treasury over 100000,
collected in taxes during the past
six months. The balance, possible
of collection, will not be $4,000.
There is no prospect for any pay
days for the next six months.
1t Is evident that big mistake
has been made. Instead of asking
the people for 100000 to pay up
"Callaghan extravagances," we
needed 100000 more to put the
city on a pay-as.you-go basis.
The condition is critical, because,
while its credit has not been i'm
paired, and its bonds command a
good premium, the bankers, whose
Golfers are congested with the city
sewer money, will not dare advance
the city cent.
But some means of relief might
be devised by which the city could
pay it's necessary running expen-
ses, and in this way prevent the
financial decentralization incident
TO a failure of such an important
business factor as our city govern
ment.
You must treat the people with
perfect openness and fairness; any
attempt to fool them, to hide from
them the facts. or - cover up de-
linquercies, will cause distrust,
suspicion and opposition.
Every we'll wisher OF the present
city administration only asks that
the affairs OF the city be openly and
fearlessly discussed. The people
become memorable in their judg-
ment IL there is a suspicion that
they have been deceived. The
public official who forgets that he
is a public servant will soon be
called to account.
