PRATT'S EFFORT TO- GET
ON BAND WAGON

One Of the amusing things in the
struggle over the adoption of the
new city charter is the effort of
Mayor Pratt and his adherents to
get on the bandwagon, with a view
of perpetuating themselves In Of
flee.
A commission form of govern
ment with lot of commissioners
of the Pratt saliber would be the
direst calamity that ever happened
to Spokane. The power for evil Of
a set Of men of this makeup is in
finitely increased under the conf
mission plan. but it is not contem-
plated that the people will be so
blind to their own interests as to
permit this to occur.
The committee having the adop-
ton of the new charter in hand
should sidetrack the Pratt support.
1t is positive detriment in the
movement, as If there is one thing
above another that will defeat the
new charter 1t is the too active
interest Of Mayor Pratt. This is
said with knowledge of the situa-
ton, derived from interviews with
scores Of citizens who take little
or no active part in politics, but

for trip around the world This
noon he was entertained at lunch

AS final word on the subject OF
the proposed charter. Mr.. Fassett
prepared letter to the people. In
it he says in part:
II shall be away from Spokane
when the proposed new charter is
voted upon, but 1 want to leave
with my friends an earnest appeal
for it's adoption. In a few particu-
lars it does not meet the ideals
which I held when l joined in this
work of its formation, but l am
convinced that every member of
the freeholders' commission
brought to that work an earnest
and unselfish effort to make the

I best possible charter for Spokane,
and that the confined Judgment of
such body has yielded better fruit
than any one man could have pro-
duced
81 feel sure that the proposed
new charter is one of the best COM
mission form charters which has
been proposed or adopted any
where, and that ii will give to Spo-
kane much more efficient govern
ment than we have ever had. It's
strong point is in the direct re-
sponsibility of the officers to the
people, and in their inability to lay
their mistakes and failures off on
someone else. An honest man will
always be glad of public interest in
his acts and a dishonest or inef-
ficient one may be readily removed
through the provisions of this char
fer"
