WHAT'S THE ANSWER?

and council were entirely too
generous with the taxpayers
money in raising the city attor-
ney's salary, especially so,
when he knew before he ac-
cepted the office what salary
he was to receive.
The Capital Journal believes
that Mayor Sleeves, and every
member of the council, try to
conscientiouSly serve the peo-
pie who elected them. They
simply made an error, No in
dividual or individuals, public
or otherwise, should be severe
ly censured for making an err
ror---but when an error is made
and those making it either me-
glect or refuse to rectify such
error, when the way for doing
so is pointed out to them, they
then lay themselves open to
criticism.
Now that the attorney-gener-
al has stated that lowering the
city attorneys salary would be
legal, and also cites the legaI
manner Of procedure, it i,
surely up to the council to re-
duce that salary to what il wa'
when Mr.. Page accepted the
office.
Will they do il?

taxpayers are waiting.

Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1913-03-27

The Capital Journal is at a
loss to understand why the
morning sheet has apparently
been in favor of the raise in
the city attorneys salary, as
was evidenced by its exuIting
statement that "the fight was
over" as soon as the attorney
general rendered his opinion
that the raising of the city at
torney'S salary was legal.
Why hasn't the morning pa
per consulted the wishes of the
people of Salem---why hasn't it
championed the cause of the
people---the taxpayers?
Why has the morning paper
been so eager for the city to
purchase the water works
plant? Why didn't the morn
ing paper first get an express
sion Of the wishes of the people
before taking its stand?
No sooner had Mayor Sleeves
been elected than he went or
record in an interview in the
morning paper as being in favor
of the purchase of the water
works plant, and the morning
paper editorially endorsed
such purchase. AS The Capi
tai Journal stated at the time
both the mayor and the morn
ing paper were premature il

seems to want to decide the
matter for the people.
The Capital Journal has no
advice or suggestions to offer
on the solution of the water
problem. We feel that this is a

in the future, as in the past, un-

anything else which concerns

every effort within its power
to see that the wishes Of the
