NO CITY ELECTION
Terms of Members Of Councils That
Would Have Expired in March Will
Be Extended Another Year, and En-
tire New Body, Under New Law,
Will Then % Elected.

The ruling of Attorney General By
ers, on the tenure of office in second
class cities, as outlined in Des Moines
dispatch to the T.-R. Saturday, settles
any doubt that may have arisen in the
minds of candidates, prospective or
otherwise, who may have been con-
templating enterting the city campaign
should an election be held.
The attorney general holds that the
new law extends the terms Of all
councilmen of cities whose mayors
are elected In odd numbered years
such as is the case in Marshalltown
This city will elect a mayor in 1909,
and therefore five councilmen will have
another year to serve. After 1909 the
elections will come biennially.
The member of the council affected
are: First ward, ]. E. Mcdonald;
Second, w. S. Devine; Third, D. s.
Good; Fourth, George Herman; Fifth,
+. j. Young.
In 1909 the new law affecting the
number of councilmen in cities of the
second class will be operative, and in
stead of electing two members of the
body from each ward, one will be
chosen, and in addition two council
men-at- Large. making the council
composed of seven men instead of ten.

PUBLIC SPIRIT.

What this city needs ut this time
more than any other one thing is
public spirit, that is citizens who are
willing to give of their money, their
time and their thought to the better
ment Of its business and other inter-
ests, and it is probably true that those
who give of their time and thought
can do the city more good than those
who have the money, and such per-
sons should have encouragement, and
those who find fault, but do nothing
themselves, should not be encourage
ed. The people who are no: in bust
ness can advance the interests Of the
city by dealing only IN our city stores.
The men in business can also be care
ful in this respect and endeavor to
encourage those who are working for
the best interests of the city.
Ii this spirit could be universal
there wonld be some encouragement
for our Business League or some
other organization to take hold and
again use their efforts in the best d.
rection. Now may be good time to
again renew their activity in search
for business enterprise, not forgetting
at the same time that there are. other
things equally interesting and profit
able looking toward city betterment.

A DANGEROUS ORDINANCE.

On October 9Th our Common Coun-
ell passed an ordinance requiring the
south side Of Buttonwood street to be
paved aud cnrbed. Just why the ne
cessity exists for this part of one Of
our streets to be paved aud eurbed
does not appear. But the most curl
GUS thing about the ordinance is that
this side OF this street should he re.
quired to be curbed as well as paved
when III fact there ARE no streets III
this city north of Delevan street that
are curbed except so far as the owners
OF property have i'll some cases put in
cnrbs at their own option. Perhaps
it is possible that the Common Coun.
ell now see the importance OF having
every street curbed as we'll M paved,
or it may be that the Common Coun-
Gil or street committee do not intend
to insist on strict compliance with
the provisions Of the ordinance
But here is the danger. 1t il said
that New York City aud other Ring
Rnled cities are ruled by just such or
dinanees, so that the ward or precinct
leader has the option in various mat
tiers OF requiring property owners or
people i'll business to comply with the
rule. II they do what the leader
wants them to he is very obliging, but
If they think they want to do some
thing different from the will OF the
leader, then he invokes strict com
pllance with the laws and rules, so
that he catches everybody, either go-
ing or coming, relaxes the law IA a
reward of merit aud enforces it as n
penalty for differing in opinion, or
not voting right.
or course it may be that this condi.
ton never occurred to any OF the
members Of our Common Council. 1t
may be that no one Of them wonld be
guilty Of using such power for such
purposes. But it is well enough TO
have the attention called to the con-
dition, and the ordinance In its pres
ent shape should be repealed. 1t ~
also true that all OF orr ordinances
ought to be revised to harmonic, and
not only made effective, bnt fair and
inst.
