Mayor Should Leave Darkness
Surrounding Official
Conduct.
INTENT OF LAW is PLAIN
Urged That City Saves Money BY Not
Having a Police Chief-Question-
able Economy.

At the meeting of the city council
Monday evening when the question OF
the absence of a city marshal. other
wise a chief of police. was under dis
cussion, one of the aldermen came 10
the defense of Mayor McCaskrin with
a section from the book of ordinances
which provided for the appointment OF
officers by the first of May following
his becoming mayor of the city. 1t
was urged that as he did not take his
seat until the first of May he would
not be compelled TO make any appoint
ments until the first of next May.
II is not known that the mayor him.
self has ever hidden behind this sec
ton of the laws. but il has been urged
in his favor in his presence without
explanation by him. His own seems TO
be the the public be damned atti,
tude enunciated so fOrcibly by him at
one of the first meetings after h,
election.
Qualified April IL.
As a matter of fact Mr.. McCaskrin
qualified by taking his oath on April
Il. and before the council had met he
was in the circuit court urging the
point that he was mayor of the city of
Rock Island. although Mayor McConO-
chic had not formally stepped out of
the chair. Evidently the law contem-
plates his taking his seat upon his
election and qualification at which
time he is. as 4 matter of fact. mayor
of the city. That. in his case, was

into confidence or told them the reason
of the delay in the appointment of the
police chief. The law does say that the
appointments shall be made "at or as
soon as practicable after the first reg
ular meeting of the city council held
next after each mayoralty election, to
hold their Offices until their success
sors are appointed and qualified"
Law IL Plain.
The law is plain. The only loophole
for the mayor is in the word ''practica
BILE" But thus far he has not even
satisfied his people by letting them
know that it is not practicable" and
if it is not, his reasons for so consid-
ering il. That at no time in seven
months has it been practicable for
the city of Rock Island to have a city
marshal, otherwise a chief of police
will be hard TO show in the light of the
fact that his predecessors have at no
time found it practicable TO be without
one
If the delay is for the purpose of
waiting to see if the alderman who is
chief sponsor and confidential adviser
will be elected. and if not to appoint
him to the vacant office. the people
who endorsed him and whom he prom
Used so much should be taken into his
confidence and told this or whatever
his good reason is.
II was urged by this particular alder
man that the city is saving money by
not having a police chief. The course
of reasoning might be followed with a
failure TO appoint superintendent of
streets and chief of the fire depart
ment. This may be economy. but the
people would prefer to have the heads
of departments and the city properly
and systematically regulated

Rock island Men Discuss Reduc
ton Of Freight Rates
in Illinois.
AN NOUNCED EFFECTIVE JAN. |
President kingsbury of State Retail
Merchants Pleased - Railway
Man Is Not.

President George II. Kingsbury. OF
the Illinois Retail Merchants asso
citation. which has been making the
fight for the freight rate reduction.
announced in todays press dispatches,
stated, that Judging by the statements
of the decision of the commission the
revision was exactly what the mer-
chants of the state had been contend
ing for some time. He said that
he could not discuss the matter until
he knew more of the details of the re
duction. The merchants have been for
some time asking a reduction of from
20 TO % per cent in the rates. basing
the reduction on a graduation from
either $50 or 20O-mile haul Mr.. Kings
bury said the argument that the rail
ways will discontinue commodity rates
and thereby gain by the revision was
used before the commission, and he
doubted if this action would be taken.
Railway Man Talks.
4 prominent railway man of this
city. who has studied the rate revision
agitation carefully. was asked whether
Rock Island business interests, or the
public, would gain by the revision In
reply he said:
Il can not see that the public will
gain anything on general merchandise.
and where the goods have been shipped
formerly under a low commodity rate.
there will be a greater charge, instead
of a reduced charge, if the expected
discontinuance of the commodity rate
is made by the railways. As l see the
proposition. the railways. by discOn-
tinuing all commodity rates, Will be
the only ones TO gain materially. The
retailer will gain slightly, but his gain
is infinitely small.
ITO show the exact gain FOR the re-
taller an illustration was given TO the
clothiers. Under the new rate the diff
ference on % mems suits will amount
TO but 9 cents, based on the rate be
tween Chicago and Rock Island. On
5000 pounds general merchandise,
which is often distributed over more
than year by the retailer. the differ
ence is less than Sc. and considering
the cost of the goods, this is almost
nothing"
EVIL in Disguise.
Taking up each of the many phases
of the arguments against making the
reduction. he concluded:
Il believe this will illustrate that Of
ten things that appear blessings at a
distance are evils when seen close AT
hand"
