An argument in favor of city owner
ship which is calm, dispassionate and
free from envenomed personalities il
so refreshing n change that the REG
IsTER publishes the foregoing letter
with real satisfaction. 1t Is pleasant
indeed to enter into "a discussion with
one who is willing to argue this ques-
ton upon its merits and not upon the
other side. Mr.. Tudor's pen is by far
the most trenchant and logical that
has yet been, or that will be, enlisted
IN favor of the bonds. and his argu-
ments will repay the most candid
and careful consideration, for if they
can be overthrown we may be certain
that no other champion will enter the
lists
The REGISTER has never denied
the right under the letter of the law
to call third election. 1t has only
insisted that it was contrary to the
spirit of republican institutions for
minority to force upon the majority
repeated elections upon the same
proposition. This Ia shown by the
fact that the constitution of our State
provides that when the people have
once adopted a fundamental law 1t
cannot be again voted upon until
twO-thirds of the people, by their rep
resentatives in the legislature, de-
mand its Tesubmission. This is a
wise provision for if a minority could
force vote upon u question at any
time there could be no settled per-
manence to any of our institutions.
IT is true, as Mr.. Tudor says, that we
held three elections before bonds were
voted for a new school house. But
n very grave difference between these
two cases lies in the fact that the
school bonds could not be issued until
IA majority of an the votes in The dis
trict had been cast in their favor,
bonds may be issued if a bare major
ity of the votes cast favor them. An
election which requires n majority OF
all the qualified votes to carry, can
certainly not be cited as u parallel
to an election which may be
carried though only three votes
were cast, provided two were in
its favor. 1t seems to us that
the other instan ,es Mr.. Tudor cites
by way of illustration are equally

EDITOR REGISTER.
Sir:-In that fair, calm and reason
able spirit in which you have
throughout conducted your side of
the Gas Bond campaign, winning the
respect of many who could not agree
with you, you have repeatedly ex-
pressed your Willingness to give put
LEFTY in your widely read columns to
opposite views-properly and reason
ably expressed. TO the newly tledg-
ed citizen nothing In the American
character is more admirable than the
element of fair play, born of Freedom
and inhaled with the breath of Lib
erty. l. therefore, with cheerful
gratitude, take you at your word.
1t has been agreed that the people
of lola should not again be agitated
by u re-canvass OF this VeXed cues.
ton! a parallel has been attempted
between this renewed effort on the
side of city ownership, and a rally of
scattered forces of fusion on behalf OF
Leedyism!
My reply to this argument, the
prina facie force of which | admit, IL
that constitutional law discrimi-
ma es between these two issues. In
their wisdom, the trainers OF our con-
stitutiOu forbid that the entire state
should he thrown into the CONFUSION
Of n gubernatOrial contest onener
than once in two years. In their
wisdom the same wise masterbuilders
have enacted that on petition of stat
utory proportion Of ratepayers ques-
tons of local Importance may be
debated and contested i'm cities again,
again, and yet again.
Furthermore, permit me to point
out that the hOnors of Office to which
We have triumphantly elected stan
ley is hut for two years, atthe emf Of
which brief period no one will ques-
ton the right of Leedy, or of any
other to challenge us again. While,
practically, by the 3lst of the very
next month, the chance of reversing
the decision of the late Bond Election
will be lost to us for all time; for who
can venture to predict that by the
expiration of the c0mpauy's charter
there will be the same rich flow of
natural gas that we now enjoy? Who,
indeed, ask, if that splendid prop
erty be, during the residue of that
term, at the disposal of, we know not
whom, to eXpend, we know not how
with an ever decreasing interest in
its peTmaneuce, aud an ever Increas-
ing incentive TO get out of il the last
procurable dollar, while, not it. but

This, in our opinion, is n matter OF
the life or death, not of an individual
but of city; aud deeming it such, to
the death, we think il our duty to

THERE was meeting OF the anti
bond committee Wednesday night,
while it was intended as a committee
meeting only, yet the interest IL so
great that the room was crowded
with representative business men all
Xious to know what was being done
and to help in any way they could.
The former two campaigns against
the bonds have been lukewarm and
Indifferent compared to the enthus-
iasm and determination with which
this one is being entered upon. After
having fairly defeated the bonds
twice the people feel outraged to have
the contest again thrust upon them
and are determined this. time to settle
it so hard that it will stay settled for
all time. The committee finds scores
OF people who have voted for the
bonds twice but who declare now
that they are against them because
they think enough OF IA fight is
enough. One of the reasons why the
city should not be put to the expense
of another election is because it is just
rs sure to go the way the others went,
only more go, az the election day is to
come, and the money is therefore
worse than wasted.
