Chicago Record, 6: The price of wheat

France has suspended until July l the
duty OF 81 cents q bushel on wheat. The
abrogation Of this inpost, which is an
important source Of revenue OF the

cation of the scarcity Of supplies on the

MAYOR AND COUNCIL
Lock Horns Over Appointmeuts-Eao
Claims Prerogatives the Other Does
Not Want to Ooncede and the
S%ubordinatss Are Kept on
the Gridiron.

The failure Of the city council TO con
firm Mayor Daniels nominations for
auditor and chief Of police after a repi-
tltion OF the nominations has given rise
te rather strained relations between the
mayor and the council. The mayor
appears to have assumed at the outset
that he can nominate whom he p!eases
which is quite right and that the council
must or should confirm his nominations,
which is quite wrong. The council is Il
party to the administration of city
affairs and the law requires that they
shall pass upon the mayors Judgment
in making nominations. This requires
an exercise Of their own judgment and
il they exercised it honestly and accord
ing to the requirement OF the law and
thought the mayor had not made good
selections for these places it was their
duty to refuse to confirm as they have
done. 1t was the mayors duty her to
have made other nominations to his own
liking and perhaps these would have been
such that the council could approve.
But instead he orders tAese rejected
nominees, if we are rightly informed, to
assume the offices to which they had
been named, renominates them and tries
to force the issue against the wishes OF
the council. Chief Of Police McGovern
has been removed by order Of the mayor

ant things if he don't resign and
make way for the mayors nominee.
Now, both OF these gentlemen have
made excellent officers and are ready to
step down and out just as soon az their
legally appointed and qualified success
ors appear to relieve them OF their re-
sponsibilities. No doubt the whole con.
f1ict could have been avoided had the
mayor not been go "fresh" and had be
shown the proper regard for the part the
city council has to play in the city gov
eminent. There are dozens Of good men
in the city capable OF filling either Office
which the mayor could easily have se-
cured with a little consultation with the
council, and the latter would not have
been put under the necessity Of stand
ing OF it's rights as a coordinate branch
OF the city government. A very large
majority Of our people and men repre-
senting the business interests OF the CITY
are with the council in it's stand against
the mayor in his attempt to prostitute
official patronage for purely personal
ends.
