The City of Jackson.

Jackson has enrolled itself among
the municipalities of California. 1t
is true this result has been brought
about by narrow margin OF eighteen
votes. 1t is out of place to discuss
now whether property-interests or
non-property holders are responsible
tor this outcome. 1t is enough to
know that majority OF the qualified
electors have so decided, and all good
citizens bow cheerfuIly to the de-
cision so registered. 1t is the duty
tor all to give the city administration
hearty greeting. By virtue of pop
ulation Jackson has been a laggard in
joining the procession of incorpor-
ated cities. But now that the change
has come let US all work together in
the spirit of self betterment and
mutual protection. There are eye
sores in our conditions that can and
ought to be mended. Some of them
would have been removed long ago if
the property holders had only acted
in unison and harmony to that end.
The trustees can, and we hope will,
speedily push one or two of these
deformities out of existence, especial
ly where the value of the property
like that on the business center
enables this to be done without work
inga hardship upon any one. Along
other lines, improvement, if it comes
at all, must come slowly. Let US not
expect great things to begin with.
Those who do so will surely be dis
appointed. The trustees elected are
conservative business men, and the
citizens have confidence in their judg-
ment and integrity. We have no
doubt they will do all that can be
done, with the means at their COM
mand, to improve things without any
violent changes that might exert a
disturbing influence.

Jackson Under Incorporation.

lnasmuch as there is much discuss
ion going on as TO the mode of pro-
cedure, and official terms, IN con-
nection with the newly made city of
jackson, we have looked into the law
governing the propositions involved,
and are enabled to give the following
information. The board of supervis-
ors will meet next Monday to canvas
the returns, and declare the result.
Certificates of election will be order
ed issued to the successful candidates.
who will be required to furnish bonds
in amounts to be fixed by the board
of trustees. The trustees can there
after meet at any time and organize
by selecting a president or chairman,
and proceed to business. Everything
relating to procedure of the board
must be done by ordinance, and
ordinances must be published once or
posted. Contracts for work or sup
plies must be let to the lowest bidder,
and no member OF the board of tIus-
tees can be either directly or Indirect
Iy, interested in any contract made
or supplies furnished. The first busi-
ness of the board will be to decide by
lot which members shall serve the
long term and which the short term,
as the law provides that three of
their number shall go out of Office
at the expiration of two years, and
two at the expiration of four years.
The full term of office of trustees Is
four years, except for those elected
at the organization of the city into a
municipality. The other officers
hold for two years, except that mar
shall, clerk and treasurer elected last
Tuesday will hold only until the next
regular election. The law provides
that the city election shall be held on
the second Monday in April in each
even numbered year. Under this pro-
vision, therefore, another election
must be held in April next, when
three trustees and marshal, clerk
and treasurer, must be elected. In
addition to the elective officers the
trustees are authorized to appoint a
recorder, who is the justice of the
municipal court, to enforce the Or
dinances of the trustees. Ibis official
must be justice of the peace in the
township. Also, the trustees may
appoint an attorney, poundmaster,
uperintendent of streets, civil en-
gineer, and other subordinate officers,
such as watchman, chief of fire de-
partment, steward, janitor, as in
their discretion may be deemed
necessary, and fix the compensation
of each. Where any work on the
streets requires an expenditure to
exceed 800 such work must be let by
contract to the lowest responsible
bidder. The expense of laying or
repairing sewers can be paid one
fourth by property holders on each
side of the street severed, and one
half out of the sewer fund. The
expense of street work may be assess
ed according to frontage against the
property owners on each side thereof,
which assessment becomes lien upon
the property, the same as property
taxes.

Amador ledger., 1905-12-08

Some peoples ideas about the
running of newspaper, are peculiar.
They profess to have profound ad-
miration for the editor who has de-
cided opinion on any public question
that presents itself to the people, and
the courage to express his opinion in
unmistakable language. They have
no use for the trlmmer-the man
that stiles his convictions at the
bidding of political wirepulIers or
tricksters. And yet sometimes an
admirer of untrammeIed journal
ism sings a very different tune when
the editor happens to run counter to
his individual views on any question
in which he is personally interested.
Then the editor looms up before his
overheated Imagination as a would
be dictator, for daring TO exercise the
same right to express his opinion,
privately or publicly, that he
claiWs for himself. He wakes
warm and eloquent in denunciation
of one man power, and all that sort
of palaver. The Ledger has run up
against this sort of spirit time and
again; and once in a while patron
Will rush into the Office and manifest
his disapproval of independence in
the newspaper business, by stopping
his advertisement on his paper as the
case may be.
Ihe editor that shapes his course
with the idea of pleasing everybody
may be genial whole-souIed fellow
socially, but he is not success pro-
fessionally. He is apt to be the
laughing stock of everybody. non
entity. 1t is altogether unnecessary
to state that the editor of the Ledger
is not built that way. The narrow
mIndedness of those patrons who
stop an advertisement or subscription
because the editorial expressions d 10
not exactly accord with their views, is
on par with customer informing
his grocer that unless he kept GER
tain brand of goods, that suited his
palate, and no other, he would refuse
to trade with him. The Ledger does
not belong to its patrons, but to its
proprietor. Its views are not to be
swayed by individual cIamor or pro-
test, like driftwood at the mercy of
the waves of the sea. While recogniz-
ing the impossibiIity of suiting
everybody, at the same time we
realize that the only way to command
the respect of our readers, is to
follow the dictates of our conscience
on all questions touching the welfare
of the community. No man is infalI-
ibIe; and the Ledger may often be
wrong. An error of judgment is not
the impardonabIe sin. But to be
false to ones convictions, to suppress
what he honestly believes is the
truth, on subject that concerns a
large portion for his readers, is a
crime on the part of a journalist that
nothing can justify or condone.
We wish to say, now, as we have
often said in substance before, that
as far as the Ledger is concerned:
We do not belong to our patrons
Our paper is wholly our own;
Those who like it will take it;
Those who don't can let it alone.

CONFIDENCE HERE
Bankers Believe General Financial Con-
ditions Unaffected. --.s..

Bankers in Minneapolis express great
surprise over the failure Of the Walsh
banks. They are confident, however,
that neither general financial conditions
there, nor the banking situation, will
be affected, owing to the quick response
from the clearing house association.
The Walsh institutions have been con-
sidered strong, but they were 'Wash -
banks, and were conducted on somewhat
different lines from the others. The
business was very profitable, say the
local men, thru the deposits Of public
funds and the large amount Of business
track men, gamblers, etc, obtained
often thru political affliation.
s George F. Orde, cashier of the First
National bank, who came to Minneap-
oils last May from Chicago, says that
the Chicago National was considered
strong and that Walsh was regarded
as man Of means. He was always in
close touch. with politics and was gen
orally respected. 4e
II can't figure out, - said Mr.. Orde,
but the bank is solvent. It was never
suspected of making reckless loans. Mr..
| Walsh was always regarded as a man
Of strict business integrity and it looks
to me that it was the personal loss and

UP SH0NTS CASE
President Holds Long Conference
Over the Panama Canal
"a Situation.

Journal Special Service. 80.
Washington, Dec. 1s:-President
Roosevelt has taken up the Panama
canal scandals in long conference with
Senators Allison and Hale and Chair.
man Shonts of the Panama canal COM
mission. ..-
The entire situation was canvassed
last night and plans discussed to con-
duct the business of the canal in such
a manner as to stop the unfavorable
criticisms, both in congress and in the
press. -
One of the questions discussed was
the position of Mr.. Shonts as president
of the Glover Leaf railroad, while he is
a member of the canal commission:
When Chief Engineer Wallace resigned
his position with the canal commission
President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft
declared emphatically that they desired
to secure the services OF a man VINO
would give the canal work his undivided
attention.
Senator Tillman has charged that
Mr.. Shonts has not resigned the presl-
dency of the railroad, while it was the
understanding of the president that Mr..
Shonts had done so. This question was
discussed, but those present at the con.
ference declined to disclose the attitude
of the president or what he will DO
about it.
Another topic under consideration
was the case of Secretary Bishop, who
has been acting as press agent for the
commission. Chairman Shonts was in
structed to see that in the future Mr.
Bishop performed his duties as secre,
tarv Of the commission and that he shall
not employ any Of his time in answer
ing criticisms Of the canal work.
There was also discussion regarding
future LEGISLATION in connection with the
canal. There is a disposition on the
part Of congress to take the entire mat
Ter out of the hands Of the president ano
to enact legislation which will place the
responsibility for the construction Of
The canal on certain persons and to tlA
their salaries as well as to place some
restraint on them in the matter OF
spending the funds appropriated for the
construction Of the canal.
