Philadelphia and other capitalists are ex-

will make tours of inspection over the

In a few weeks they have visited

Steps have already been taken toward
the establishment of the new system,

been secured for the new road at Bur-

..EoR POLITICAL EFFECT"

The discussion concerning the
financial affairs of the city was
started in Council last night by
Councilman Homan, the Republican
member from the Third ward. He
wanted to know how much the auto
mobile patrol wagon was going to
cost.
During the discussion it was shown
that the deficit for the city's current
running expenses will amount to
$4,000 by the first of January; and
that according to Treasurer Berger e
statement the deficit already exceeds
sel 900.
In the heat of the discussion, City
Commissioner McMillen boldly &C.
cused Council of introducing the
subject of finances ''for political ef-
fect.''
When it is considered that it was
the Republican Councilman from the
Third ward who opened under the
subject of finances, Mr.. McMillen's e
defense falls rather fiat.
In this issue of the DEMOCRAT ex-
City Commissioner Hugill gives Ak
ron's taxpayers some interesting in
formation concerning their city Is
finances, and doubtless Mr.. McMillen
will accuse him also of calling atten-
tion to the s6l 900 deficit for political
effect.
The trouble is that for the last
three years the whole Board of City
Commissioners has been admins
tered for political effect-and the
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1899-10-31

effect has been intended to benefit
Judge Anderson by helping him to
build up a Machine that would
make his reelection certain.
If it has come to such a pass that
Akron people cannot discuss their
city's financial affairs without being
accused by Judge Anderson's proxy
of doing so for political effect, our
citizens owe an apology to Mr.. Nc
Millen.
Judge Anderson's proxies should
abandon their parrot-like cry. when
ever they are made the subject Of
honest criticism, that it is done
"for political effect
If throughout their entire admin
istration as public officials they had
not been the benef1ciaries and the
servants of a political machine, sub
ordinating the interests of the city to
the interests of the Machine, their
complaint that they are now
being criticised "for political effect"
might have some weight with intel
ligent citizens.
But as it is, the citizens have
decreed that the proxy system must
go and the proxies must go with it.
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1899-10-31
THE PROXY SYSTEM MUST GO.

EX-CltV commissioner Joseph
Hugill, a respected citizen and
business man of Akron, who has
grown gray in the service of the
Republican party, tells some start
ling truths in another column of the
DEMOCRAT today. He shows why
it is that Akron is face to face with
a tax crisis as result of the man
agement of the city's financial affairs
by the Board of City Commission
ers.
Mr.. Hugil charges that the turn
ing of the Board of City Commits
sioners into political machine by
Probate Judge Anderson at the ex-
pense and to the neglect of the city's
interests is alone responsible for the
present deplorable condition of
Akron's finances.
No man in Akron is better quail
fed than Mr.. Hugill to tell the
citizens of Akron the truth about
the Board of City Commissioners,
for we have Mr.. Hugill's own testi-
mony for it that he was deposed
from the Board because he would not
be dictated to by Judge Anderson.
Cumbersome and expensive as the
City Commissioner system is to the
citizens of Akron even when men of
ability and good business judgment
are In charge, it becomes more then
doubly 80 when the Board is turned
into political machine to promote
the interests of self-seeking county
official.
Mr.. Hugill is supported by hun
dreds of Akron's Republican citizens
In protesting against this selfish
interference by Judge Anderson in
the affairs of the Board of City Com
missioners.
No ordinary grievance would
cause these men to forget their party
ties and work and vote against a
member of their own party.
When such prominent Republicans
as Mr.. Hugill and his friends urge
Akron people to vote against Judge
Anderson because he has set himself
up as dictator of Akron, abusing the
power that comes to him as one Of
the officials charged with appointing
City Commissioners, it is high time
that Akron's citizens also sink their
partisan differences and vote to put
an end to the proxy system.
In no other way can the citizens
obtain rightful voice in the control
of their city's affairs.
