FURTHER INTERVIEWS INDICATE
SENTIMENT is OVERWHELMING
FOR VOTE ON COMMISSION PLAN

doubtful if il would be a good plan,
two were opposed and two refused 10
comment either way. Several women
were asked their opinion, but with the
exception of two, Mrs. Winn Johnson
and Mrs. Lloyd IdIeman, were not dis
posed to give an expression until they
lad had more time to study the ques-
ton. Both Mrs. Idleman and Mrs.
johnson were i'm favor OF resubmlttins
the proposition.
IL was the opinion of those favOring
the resubmissiOn of the question, that
a special election would he the best
plan In order To avoid any confusion
with other municipal questions.

j. V. Tallman, president of the
Commercial club, was one of the men
interviewed who gave his unqualified
approval to the plan to submit to the
people again an amendment to the
city charter providing for the COM
mission form of government for Pen

Mr. Tallman said that he had al

and while there may be some dissat-
isfaction with it in other cities. he
said it was probably caused by the
city failing to get the proper men to
fill the places as commissioners.
81 believe that Pendleton at the
present time has an efficient city
government" he said, but | always
have believed that we should pay the
men who hold municipal office. The
city is not in a position to pay a city
council. but l believe that we can af
ford to pay a commission of three at
least. The commission form would
give the city business administra-
tion and think that with 1t We would
be able to make Pendleton better
city in every way. OF course we
should have to select the best men
and think that busy men would bet
ter fill the positions than men who
had more time to themselves. There
are business men in this city I know
who would be willing to accept posi-
tions as commissioners. To my mind
the commission government is the
best system and l am heartily in ia
vor of allowing the people to give an
other expression of their views at an
election.

had been working for a prominent
