This ticket received indorse-
ment at the polls Saturday and
until the general election in April
next will constitute the govern
ment of Canyon City.
Personally the men are alright
and in addition they have the ca
pacity for the work before them.
1t is no little thing or easy
matter to put the incorporation
harness on a people unused to it
and to hold it there. If put on
all at once they generally, as did
Hereford, SanAngelo and several
other good Texas towns, buck
out of it. To succeed you must
lay on one strap at time and be
right easy about that.
There are also many other pit
falls to be guarded against in the
new organization of town such
as the granting of electric lights,
water franchises, telephone priv
lieges etc, etc. There is a set of
franchise grafterS who make a
speciality of newly organized
towns take advantages of in
experience in city ways. These
gentry manage to get in, gener-
ally on, spacious promises, which
they have no real intention of per
forming and then to be rid OF
them the town must buy their
cinch on franchise which they,
upon these promises, have Sc
cured for naught.
The present Town Council,
however, with Judge Haney, an
old and experienced lawyer at
it's head, is, in the opinion of The
News, fully capable of handling
the situation in all of its details
and to the towns advantage and
the general welfare of all con-
cerned. The News has faith in
the council along these lines and
desires to see its course such
that it will find favor in the eyes
of all the people so that when
the election next April comes
every member of it will be re-
elected unanimously.
