STOP THE GRAB!

tatives of Judge Anderson upon the
Board of City Commissioners recon-
increasing the salaries Of the police
men of Akron from $50 to $75 O
month.
A similar salary increase was pro-
posed in behalf of the members of tho
fire department.
The Democratic members Of the
Council promptly defeated both reso-
lutions for the reason that the Board
had built an automobile costing up.

fund to dwindle from n balance of
$S,7S1 one year ago to an overdraft OF
nearly $4,000 today, with not cent
in sight to pay the salaries of the
Commissioners and other city em-
ployes until next August.
AS soon as the resolution was de-
feated in accordance with the require
ments Of economy, the three proxies
upon the Board Immediately appoint
ed six new policemen, to whom Judge
Anderson owed political debt and
thus saddled the same burden of ex.
pense upon the taxpayers as IL the
salary grab had been concurred In by
the taxpayers.
a petition has already been pre-
pared, signed by Commissioners Paige,
Crisp and McAIillen. and will be pre-
sented to Akron's Representatives in
the General Assembly next week, In
support of bill, also prepared, allow
ing the City Commissioners to increase
the salaries of Akron's policemen to
the extent of $4,000 year without
being required to have the consent of
the Council.
This bill is only n forcrunner to a
similar measure for the benefit of the
firemen, who have as good right ~
the policemen to ask for more pay, at
the expense of the already oyer.bur'
dened taxpayers.
In other words, the politicians who
are responsible for tho Proxy system
owe political debt to the employees
of the Akron police, fire and stree
departments and are determined to pay
them at the expense Of the taxpayers
When it is considered that under til,
administration of City Commissioners
the general debt Of the city has beer
permitted to increase from nothing IL

"TOO LATEw

The Democrats special correspond
ent at Columbus was informed by
Senator Sieber yesterday that num-
ber of the Citizens of Akron have re-
ouested him to introduce bill In the
Senate so amending the law under
which Akron is governed that the pco-
pie may elect their City Commission
ers, instead of having them appointed
by the Probate Judge and the Mayor.
The Senator's only comment upon
this request was that it is now too
late" to get such measure through the
General Assembly.
At meeting of the Economic League
last Tuesday night, every one of the
speakers, including Judge e. w. Stu
art, Judge n. ID. Tibbals, Mr. \. Chalk
or, Editor Reynolds and other promi-
nent Republicans, united In condemn
Ing the deadlock in the appointment of
Commissioners, and expressed the hope
that something might he done to have
the Commissioners elected by the peo-
pie.
The result of this discussion at the
meeting of the League was that n
meeting of prominent citizens was call
cd for the next day at the Office Of
Judge Tlbbals to give organized form
to popular movement for the amend
ment of the Commissioner law, as
suggested. This meeting was attend
ed by Judge Stuart, Judge Tibbals, At
torney Taylor, Editor Reynolds, Attor-
ney II. L. Snyder, Attorney E. Il. Otis
Mr.. w. G, Parsons ana others. 1t was
resolved to present an immediate re-
quest to Akron's Representatives in the
Legislature to work for such an amend
ment of the law as would break the
deadlock; and to call IL mass meeting
of the people to give the amendment
support.
Today comes the intelligence from
Senator Sleber that it Is "too late' to
get such an amendment through the
General Assembly at the present ses
sion.
The Democrat calls attention to thC
fact that 1t is not considered too late
TO present bill for an $1,000 salary
grab at the expense Of Akron tnxpay
ers ana In behalf of men to whom
Judge Anderson and his three City
Commissioners owe political debt.
Aren't the people growing tired o
this superannuated chaff upon whlcl
politicians are forever attempting t.
feed them that II is too late or "im
possible to do anything in their inter
ests?
The real reason why there is no hop
OF overturning the boss features o
Akron's form of government Is tina
this feature is more than satisfactory
D to the politicians who control tn
$ Board of Commissioners, aud who hav
s more influence than all of tho peopl
: when It comes to indicating what legii
r latlon shall be undertaken touching tn
I Commissioner law.
y What will the people of Akron
I when they go TO the polls next MOI
day? Vote TO extend the Proxy systel
u over the Council just as it now control

Isn't 1t about time for the people to
find out who runs Akron, anyhow? Are
the people going to govern or be gov
erned by the men who draw the salar-
iesg Next monday will be good time
to find out.

One man like Mr.. Paul can do more
harm in the Council to the interests of
the politicians and self-seeking corpor-
atoms than half doxen weaklings can
do them good. That's why the whole
force OF the opposition has been cen
tered upon Mr.. Paul. What are the
people going TO do about 1t?

Judge Anderson and his proxies may
be largely indebted to the policemen
for political favors, but the people owe
them nothing. And the people will not
shoulder the burden of paying off polit-
ical debts, without struggle.

It's never "too late" even

The Secse salary bill will be defeat

regard to the attempt of Judge Ander-
son and his proxies to impose this sal
airy grab upon Akron taxpayers: 1t
is n steal and will be fought to finish
by every taxpayer and citizen who
has the energy to protect his own in
terests.
The salary grab will never take effect
so long as the people maintain Dem
ocratic Council to Offset the extrava.
gances and favoritism of the subsl'
died Board. Perhaps this explains
why every city employe which Judge
Anderson and his proxies control is
out working to defeat the election of
the Democratic nominees for Council.
