A FOOLISH PRoPosIrIoN.

To the Editor of the San Francisco CGll-SIR:
Your wise and timely editorial in THE CALL of
September entitled ga Foolish Proposition"
merits the careful attention of the trainers OF
the proposed new charter if there is really any
intention on the part OF those gentlemen 10
consider seriously the foolish proposition to
incorporate provision whereby men may be
voted out of office.
That proposition was one of the political de-
mands of the PEOPLES party of California until
last year, whea 1 succeeded in calling the at.
tention of the Populist leaders to its impract-
cabiJity and danger, and had it stricken from
the State platform by nearly unanimou:
vote. wish here to briefly state some of the
reasons l urged against il at that time
Suppose A, and TO be candidates for the
same office. and each receive 1000 votes
c receives 100 votes and Is elected. Bu
there is q provision of law that a majority
may vote q man out of office. and com.
bine their 1000 votes, winch are majority oi
900, aud IS voted out. This process may be
perpetual motion, keeping the people in q
turmoil and giving them no service from the
officer chosen by them. The only person who
could held his office in plurality district
would be hold-over or ad interim officer, and
under such system the inter i'm would be
continuous.
The possibility of ombining with miner
ity party to vote out even majority candl-
date would soon lead factions of his own party
who had voted for him for party success to as
sist il voting him out with view 10 FAC
tional supremacy within the party.
When | first brought up this objection 1t
was made point of personal attack upon me
as Populisl editor, that the objection 1ndl-
Gated a want of confidence in the people. Not
so. The sober second thought OF the people is
always right 1t is the hasty judgment OF the
people that hangs innocent men, not the Or
derly procedure OF law.
And it is the hasty Judgment OF men that
is to be feared in this instance, where 1t Is
proposed to remove the balanee-wheel OF fixed
Tenure of office during good behavior unit

mercy of any sudden prejudice that may

The present me thod of removing men from
office is ample and orderly. The proposed
aim perative mandate" is disorderly and
would lead 10 an anarchy OF the most san
factions and minorities would be put forth in
repeated attempts, not to persuade others to
their way of thinking in order to carry out
their ideas in government, but to vote men
out of office.
There are otner very serious objections to
the proposition, as u matter OF practice, which
| will not Offer at this time. THE CALL does
well to take note OF the matter. for The idea
has great fascination for nearly all discon-
tented minds who have not seen the fallacy
and the danger of it; and thousands OF men
are actively urging 1t at this time as measure
of political salvation from tyranny. The
tyranny of a mob Is more to be feared than
the tyranny OF law. There is no occasion Tor
Americans to submit to either.
