zens' party recognizes and appreciates
his duty to the public.
He has accepted the nomination and
is determined to win if possible. Oh
more importance is his determination
if elected, to devote the same energy
and attention to the office that he de-
votes to his own affairs.
Charles H. Turner has been a resi-
dent of Caldwell for over ten years
In that time he has built up the largest
business in Caldwell of any kind, and
the largest of its kind in the west
At the same time he has been able
to give considerable attention to the
affairs of the people. He has served
as director of the Canyon County
Fair association; on Commercial club
committees and on other committees
appointed for the purpose of promot-
ing some enterprise of public nature.
He has never been called upon to
perform any service for the public,
no matter what the cost of time and
labor, which he did not perform
cheerfully and promptly. In fact, eve,
since he located in Caldwell he has
shown himself an enterprising, public
spirited citizen of the community.
He proposes to continue to work
along the same line If elected mayor,
Mr.. Turner will give the municipal
government closer attention, more
careful study and greater amount OF
time than has ever been given to the
office. For the purpose of expediting
business he will maintain down town
office, where he will be easily Access
sible to the people at all times. By
doing this he will be able to remove
friction, listen to complaints and sug
gestions and where possible immed-
lately take them up, promote efficien-
cy, and otherwise give the people
good, clean, economical administra-
ton.
AS mayor, Mr.. Turner will study
The situation with view to the reduc-
ion of taxes. Taxes have become a
burden to the people and especially Ii.
he towns and cities. Some method
If reducing taxes must be evolved |
close study of the expenditure OF
'ublic money either for labor or ma
erial must be exercised. This Mr..
turner proposes to do.
1t seems hardly necessary to speak
t the qualifications of the Citizens
andidate for mayor He has lived
ere so long and is so well known
nat nearly every person is informed
his fitness for the office. In many
aspects the municipal government is
great business concern. A sue
essful business man, if he will, can
ccomplish the same economy and
..le city that The does in his
wn business. In the city the great
hing to be done is to spend the
money raised by taxation to the great
st advantage so that we may receive
he maximum of advantages at a
minimum cost. This is the same in |
II business concerns. One trouble |
nth business administrations in the
asst has been that the officials did
OF exercise the same care in spending
ublic money that they do in spending
heir own money. They were indiffer-
Mt to a more or less extent of the
'elfare of the public. improvements
ave been made in Caldwell that can
OF be justified in any manner what
oever. Recklessness has run riot.
he people want man in the office
mayor who will use the same
ldgment in expanding public money
lat he would exercise in his own
lsiness. This Mr.. Turner will do.
[e has executive ability of a high
rider. He has the courage of his con-
ictions. He is honest to the last
ent, He possesses every qualification
lat an executive officer should have,
With the ability and desire to do and
'illing to give the matter the time
he people will make a grave mistake
1 case they do not elect Charles H.
turner. AS the people seldom make
ar
lection of the Citizens ticket is as
ured.
