The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1913-11-06
LOGAN CITY GREAT
CORPORATION

Now that the election Is over the
serious side of the case comes up for
consideration. Logan City is a cor
poration of several millions of CAPT
tai. In the ordinary course of cor
poration life directors In a corpora
ton of much less magnitude would
be working night and day to extri.
cate themselves from conditions that
hamper progress, and to devise ways
and means for advancement and fl
nancial standing among their fellows.
Such would be looked upon as no toy
or play thing to be used for the ad-
vancement Of personal ends, or sacri
feed in any way on the spur of the
moment for lack of thought and con-
sideration. On the other hand the
directorate and entire stock holdings
would be working brain and Drawn
for the advancement and prosperity
of the organization. Such being the
case wherein individuals are interest
ed in such corporations, how much
more necessary is II for the same
thought and sentiment to prevail in
this great, and important corporation
of the people. Here the most ad-
yanced thought, the finest grain of
wisdom, the most polished and REIN
ed conclusions should be the results

a president and board of directors
give their entire time to the work for
which they are elected, so the com.
missioners should give their entire
time to the work Of the peoples cor
poration. Into their hands the peo-
pie have entrusted great responsible
ity. They have entrusted their NUM-
cipal fortunes and their sacred honor
and to that trust the commissioners
should devote their lives during their
incumbency in office. The trust
should be held inviolate, every step
and act the result of care, council,
and deliberation, and in order that n
may be handed bapk to the people
without stain, it is not enough to say
that 1t Is in as good condition as
when it was taken, but in sis age
of advancement and progress, this age
of Americanism, it must be handed
back in q better condition than when
1t was taken. Otherwise failure will
be marked upon the horizon and the
Reputation.
The victory of Tuesday for mayor
elect Thatcher and Commissioner
elect Larsen was most sweeping,
thereby imposing great confidence in
them, and entrusting great RESPONSE
bilities into their keeping. The cam
paign brought forth many things that
the people have written NJ their note
books and placed away for future
checking. These gentlemen made no
attempts to side step but met every
issue squarely with statement
couched in such words that would not
permit of misunderstanding, so that
when the ballot fell the people knew
how they stood, and now that the de-
cision has been rendered these gentle
men know what the people expect.
With Commissioner George w. Lind
quist they will conduct the affairs of
the city for two years beginning on
the first of the year. Mr.. Lindquist
is a capable official, and well on to
the affairs of the city and will re-
ceive the new officials with open arms
and the three will place their time
and talents at the disposition of the
city. They cannot do It all alone
either, but will need the support of
the stockholders, the people If you
please, and the Republican Is glad to
make a call to arms in the hope that
ali good citizens will unite with the
officials and work for the common
good.
by this we do not mean that we
shall approve and commend all the
acts OF the new administration. We
hope we shall be able to, and have
confidence in the result, but we stand
upon the same platform that we have
always stoOd-We shall annroya md
