ed. For the Legislature to undertake to raise
or lower the salaries of the city employees mat
ter over which City Council now has control, is
most unwarranted For years the Republicans
denounced the Democrats for this very thing.
They cried out against the pernciousness of the
system of running our city government at Dover.
Their complaint was most just. Now it is that
the Republicans arc doing the very thing they
bitterly complainS1 against The Legislature
should delegate to the city every possible power
to rule and govern itself, and should not usurp
the powers already vested in the city to manage
its affairs The Republicans are making hor-
rible blunder in not adhering to the policy of OPP
position to the Legislature interfering with those
detail matters of city management that should
belong to City Council A Republican Legsla-
ture undertaking to manage the affairs OF our

Legislatures guilty OF the same offense against
popular government. Indeed, the Republicans
are to be more condemned because they are false
