LEGISLATIVE GUERILLAS
How Holman was Floored.
FIoUs-FoWERS THE GUERILLA.

A.. j. OumnllflS III N1Tg1nldu-fllOt.
To look at the placid face of Judge
Fl. III. Powers, of Vermont, no one
would class him with legislative guerji-
las. When Watchdog Holman was
serving his last term IN the House,
Judge Powers turned guerrilla and un-
expectingiy swooped down upon the
UNIV Try Indlanian. The watchdog was
barking at the proposition to pay mem
bers of the House mileage for the ex-
ira session. As usual, he was very pug
naclous, and the whc!e pack OF econo-
mists turned In behind him. He was
making quite an impression, when
Judge Powers, attlred in full guerrilli
costume, swept down upon him.
"Do understand" said he, "lha,
the gentleman from Indiana is Opposed
to granting mileage for the three ses-
slons OF this Congress?"
Holman twirled his eyeglasses with
increased velocity before reply ing. The
attack came from such an unexpected
quater that for time he was non

A Tax Case Decided United States and
District Court Next Week.

In the cas- of the Territory vs.. Warren
& Fiske, suit to collect delinquent taxes

PENDANTS.
Hearing was resumed to-day before
George Hill Howard, referee, in the
divorce suit of James Catanach VS.. Con
rada de Catanach, his wife, in which the
former prays for the severance of rela-
tions with defendant and custody of his
children on various grounds. The de-
PENDANTS attorney recalled Catanach

The regular term of the district court

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION CLASS.
The Subject of Prehistoric Archaeology Is
to be Thoroughly Discussed.

A University Extension class to study
prehistoric archaeology is to be organ
lied in Santa Fe in the near future.
The plan is to have professor e. l..
Hewett, of the Las Vegas Normal uni
at Las Vegas, lecture nee a
month and to hold a meeting of the
once every two weeks. At these
meetings essays are to be read and dis
c~ussions carried or upon some particular
which will be made the subject
Of study by the members in the inter-
time. At Ration such a class of
40 members has been organized, and it
is thought that a class equally as large,
if not larger, can be formed in this city.
The expense will be comparatively small
as the lecturer will be paid only his
travelling expenses from Las Vegas and
The subject chosen is not a
hackneyed one and Santa Fe offers
peculiar facilities for studying prehis-
toric archaeology. Professor Hewett is a
recognized authority on the subject. A
public meeting will be held in the near
future, at which those who desire to join
the class can signify their intention to
that effect.

perintendent Wells, who was in the city
late on Saturday evening, said that these

The addition of a rooster, he said, would
enable the smelter to handle a much
wider range of refractory ores than
otherwise could be treated. This will be
good news for mine owners of south
Santa Fe county, and they should now

bill through the General Assembly at
this session amending the Akron Com
missioner law so that the people will
have the right to elect City Commits
sioners instead of having them contin-

worst piece Of buncombe that has been
fed to the people for great many
years.
"A bill bringing about the amend
nent proposed could be gotten through
the General Assembly In three days."
says Senator Alexander,
"And know what am talking
about" he adds emphatically.
The people will drive the first nail
In the coffin of the Proxy system next
Monday by voting to prevent the Coun-
ell from being made the Proxy OF the
same boss who now controls the Board

Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1900-03-31

One Of the arguments made In favor
of the enactment of the Commissioner
layy In 1893 was that the Councilmen
Of the city were not paid to attend to
the city's business and>that it was be.
licved the people would be best served
by employing Board Of well paid men
to look after the public business. Now,
after six years Of administration upon
the part of high.salaried men, the ad-
vocates of the Proxy system by which
the Board has been perverted from its
original uses as servant Of the peo-
plc to tho service of politicians, are
trying to make the people believe that
the Council is alone responsible for the
deplorable condition of city affairs. The
management Of the city's finances was
taken out of the hands of the Council
when the Board of Commissioners was
created, and to attempt to held body
Of non-salaried men, who meet but
once n week, responsible for the mis-
management Of the city's finances, Is
evasion Of the most ridiculous sort.
The men who are trying to make
scapegoats Of the Council to shield the
Board from the merited rebuke at the
hands of the people ought to be asham-
ed of themselves. The voters of Akron
are not all fools.

BREAK THE DEADLOCK.

The longer the deadlock in the ap-
pointment of City Commissioners
lasts, the less will the three City Com
missioners in control feel the weight
Of their responsibility to the people.
Judge Anderson was elected last fall
for three years, and he has not yet
entered upon his second term. He can
maintain the Board exactly as 1t is
for practically the whole Of the next
four years, and the people can do noth-
ing more than complain.
The only recourse for the people is
to elect Council next Monday that
will camp upon the trail of the City
Commissioners and show up every
extravagant policy it undertakes
against the interests of the people.
The Democrat will be here to help the
next Council take few curves out
Oh the Proxy system. And the Demo
Gratis opposition to the unrepresenta.
tive policies Of the Board is not lin
ited to few weeks of campaigns
when 1t criticizes the Board, by prior
understanding, for political effect.
Commissioner Crisp will not be abb.
to read through the lines of what the
Democrat has to say about the Board,
as he said he could In the Dobson pn-
per, and find therein the evidence OF n
secret understanding with a political
boss that the criticism is a matter of
expedicncy only.
So long as majority of the City
Commissioners think that they owe the
people less than they owe the politi-
cal boss who keeps them In Office, the
Democrat will be found contendlng
against this unnatural condition.
The fight to overthrow the Proxy
system will not end with next Mon.
days election. 1t will so on until the
people are restored to their rightful
voice in the control of the city's af'
fairs.

Issue for the voters to keep In mind
when they so to the polls next Monday.

No citizen of Akron uses more EN-.
phatic terms Of condemning the dead
lock system Of maintaining proxies In
the Office OF City Commissioner than
does Judge Stuart. No citizen is more
anxious to get rid of the appointing
feature. Of the Commissioner system
than he. Coming as this does from the
official whose impartiality In maintain
ing in Office men who are willing to
protect the public interests, this state.
ment Of Judge Stuart ought to have
great weight with the people.
