Dewey and members of the Board
of election commissioners as TO the
legality of the blank ballot has the
opposition up a tree"
Should the Commission Form
proposition carry next Tuesday
b ank ballot viii be prepared oV
the election commissioners ana
voters will be required 10 write IN
the names of candidates OF thei'
choice.
This has been the big issue in the
campaign. The opposition has de-
elared the blank ballot to be illegal
but since Judge Dewey has officia ly
passed on the matter there does not
seem to be any reason for further
doubt.
The Bulletin has always believed
nat the adoption OF the Commits
sion Form OF Government eou d NOE
AFFECT the legality OF the bond issue,
nor that the proposed change would
embarrass the sale of the bonds. 1t
has always contended that the legal
phase OF the proposition should be
the sole consideration and it hopes
Judge Dewey's opinion will aid the
voters In their conc usions. The
Bulletin has enough confidence In
Judge Dewey's knowledge OF the law
to base its campaign for the Com
mission Form OF Government on his
ruling that the blank ballot can be
legally used, regard ess of contrary
opinions "unofficially" rendered by
other lawyers.
The bonding houses will be In
terested only in the legality OF the
issue and they will not be concerned
in a factional fight between the
citizens. Their past experience has
taught them that the bonds OF
cities managed under the Commits
sion plan are a safer investment
than those of a city conducted in q
manner which frequently results IN
banruptcy

Why This Alarm?


The esteemed evening contempt
rary dscredits the statement OF The
Bulletin to the effect that the gov
eminent will have charge OF the
work OF repairing the levees, and ex-
presses regret that this will not be
the case
Uncle Sam is going to spend
$3.50, 600 for the rebuilding and
strengthening OF the leyees and he
viii have engineers on the job to see
that the money is not wasted. as is
usually the case when such work is
done by states or municipalities.
The railroad companies also will
have experts to look after their in
terests and If any of our local graft
ers operate they will have to go
some.
The government has peculiar
way of doing business. When 1t
spends money it expects to receive
value for every dollar SO invested
and when the grafters try to ply
their trade they find 1t necessary TO
deal with an entirely different type
Of business man than is usually
found In cities. The governments
experts do not hold their positions
by reason of politics. they are ex-
perts in every sense of the wore.
Uncle Sam is going TO expend 4
quarter of a million dollars for the
benefit of Cairo and also will see to
it that the city,s share is not vast
ed.
But assuming that the government
viii not take part in repairing the
eyees other than the paying of its
share Of the expense. there is every
reason why Cairo should be repre-
scented by men who will not make as
big joke out OF the levees as they
have of the famous Commercial ave-
nue. sewer. Ii Cairo does not have
better representation in the build
ing of the levees than it had in the
building of the sewer it is possible
j that the s5o,0eA worth OF flood pro-
teetion erected by the city will slide
into the river.

necessarily alarmed over the situa-
tion and its efforts to both uphold
and oppose the Commission Form
