Anti Charter Arguments

Most of the arguments against the proposed charter Phoenix are made on the street corners. It is safer place. one is not so restricted to the facts there. Any kind a statement goes because there is nobody there question it. The persons to whom it is made yet had an Opportun- ity c read the charter.
 The arguments of course, all directed against the city manager feature, for in all other respects the opponents the charter admit that it is a most excellent document, improvement upon all earlier charters. Those who have not read the charter are told city manager is to be ear; that he could rob the city blind"
 While it may be assumed that such man as would be chosen for city manager would believe it to his advantage to rob the city alI the char ter throws plenty of obstacles the of rob berv by the city manager any other official.

The city manager or other officer who acts in comuson with bidder is to be removed sunlmarily.
 The city manager required by the charter to submit monthly reports the commission, but the commission may require reports time, Thus, the city manager left without opportunity to rob, for only possible field of robbery is con stanty the white light of publicity.

Everywhere it is directed that the people must be taken into the fullest confidence There be such things as committees of the whole or executive sessions.
