ASSESSMENT
EXPENSE SCRUT|N|zED

There is general complaint about
the cost of engineering expenses in
connection with the work of pre-
pairing the assessment rolls for the
various improvements. City Engi-
neer Ralston's expenses on these
rolls are about twice as much as
were those of Charles Mcintyre,
former city engineer When the
matter is brought up next Tuesday
night it Is claimed the council will
refer the rolls back to the engineer
for explanation.

WANT TAFT'S
TARIFF PLANK

CHICAGO, June 11.-Since it is
known that Taft wrote the tariff
plank in the Ohio platform an eff
fort is being made to have the same
plank inserted in the national party
platform. The exact wording OF
the plank is:
Revision of tariff by special
session of the next congress, in
surfing maintenance of the true prin-
ciple of protection by imposing
such duties that American manu-
facturers, farmers, producers and
wage earners may have adequate
protection"

KANSAS CITY, June 1.-THE

Rem H. Rice for city commission
err in J. T. Omos place and Cor
don Corbaley chief of police in
Rice's place, is the frame-up which
Mayor Moore IS now working on
among the councilmen in an en-
deavor to GUST ONO from his job
on the board of works.
The mayor has already failed
three times in trying to put this
scheme through. What will he do
this time?
1t is apparent to him that he
alone cannot line the council up
to his way of thinking that ONO is
not the man for the job. For sew
eral days Mr.. Corbaley, who seems
to be excessively in evidence wher-
ever Mayor Moore's name is men,
toned, has been working among
the councilmen. Mr.. Corbaley is
using every influence he has. He
is a Spokesman-Review pet.
The council has already turued
his name down for the commits
sionership and it remains 20 be
seen what will be done with 1t
when submitted for chief of police.
The name Of Rem Rice has been
limited before in connection with
the commissionership, but until re-
Gently there was no actual en-
jeavor to accomplish such a
frame-up.
1t is now time to inquire what
claim Mr.. Corbaley has to any con-
sideration for public office.
Rem Rice had none for the Office
of chief of police other than that
he was part of the circle congenial
to Mr.. Moore in 10000 club work.
So is Mr.. Corbaley.
Mr.. Rice has gone ahead, how
ever, in spite of police inexpe-
rience, and has made good gener-
ally in spite Of putting his foot in
it at times. Nothing in his career,
however, advertises him for COM
missioner.
Why not admit the truth of the
situation: That Mayor Moore is
proving just what the substantial
members of his own party feared
he would prove when he was NOM
mated.
He is Ievoting his time and at
tention to the enterprise of getting
few of his personal favorites into
Office in obedience to the demands
of the little bunch who jump when
the SpokesmanReview cracks the
whip.
Instead of being censured, the
council majority that has checked
this sort of administration is en-
titled to credit for exercising COM
mon sense and prudence. 1t is DO
ing its best to keep personal af-
fairs and favoritism out of the city
hall 1t is taking the stand that
alone are entirely representative of
the people.
The plan to nave the mayor die
tator of city affairs with the popu-
lar branch of city government sub
ordinate to his will cannot meet
with favor and will not once its OBJ
jects are understood by the public.
AS for ONO, in all the back biting
that has been undertaken to get
him out of office, nos one specific
charge has been lodged, suscepti-
BILE to proof, of his inefficiency or
delinquency. The fight on him has
been a personal and political affair
carried on through the Spokesman
Review.
That publication and the satel-
lites that revolve around it have
demanded Omos head, and Mayor
Moore has endeavorei to deliver
the goods. This was one of the
conditions of his election support.
II is true that Omos term has eX-
pired and 1t is equally true that ii
he is source of discord in city af-
fairs and is no longer wanted Oh
the board he ought to be retired
But who is to be the judge of his

been used up, and Mr.. Ralston
plans to ask for an additional sum.
1t is customary in preparing as
sessment rolls to add to the cost of
the contract the cost of preparing
the rolls and specifications. But
Mr.. Ralston has added SO great an
amount to the cost that it caused
some inquiry.
Mr.. Ralston claims that he de-
sires to add every cost in connec-
ton with an Improvement, such as
advertising bids, etc, SO that his
office will not meet a deficit. AS
now done, only the actual cost of
compiling the roll is added.
However, there has been no au-
thority for it granted by the coun-
ell and it is question whether it
will be permitted.

until the people decided that it u be a reality, and We see the

and urged the people to go forward
"And they have gone forward ad are still going forward, and
have made Godsboro the Best Town in the State, and 1 think that the
