The organization committee meeting has

OF the public moneys.
Fourth-To abolish the practice now in vogue in
nearly all public departments Of eNacting unlawful
tribute from citizens transacting business with
them and Of utilizing the powers vested in the
private and personal interests the detrtment OF
The public interest.
Fifth-To utterly root out and wipe out the vile
partnership between those in control OF city

OF city departments. who while maintaining and
even increasing the compensation OF high Salaried
subordinates. have the audacity 10 cut the city
Ia borers 10 haf-time, thus allowing them only 30
per cent of their comparatively scanty wages
Seventh-To rescue the Democracy from the dis
