The Alaska citizen., 1914-03-02
CHARGES MADE AGAINST MOVES
 BY CITIZEN WEEK AGO.

r. c. Moves, the receiver WHO !S getting a fat salary that he doesn
 arn rom the depostors of the de tuact Washington-Alaska bank re- used to make a sta ement in his 1wn behalf concerning the alleged uismanagement of his work, but has +1r6ed the editor of his own paper 10 attack The Citizen. This under laud method of making other peo- p1e fight his battles is one oi
 le many things that portray the character of the man and his un- itness for the important trust he holds.
 Through the editor of the Times, he paper controlled by Moves, he says The Citizen Is not fig hing him in the open, and that it resorts to
 anueado. What The Citizen was really trying to do was to play fair with Noyes. but this spirit of fair ness has evidently been misinterpret q by him.
 There are some people whose sen abilities are so dead that you can not fight them with gloves. but mus use a club. figuratiVely speaking "oses is one of such persons. Ii Ne really wants The Citizen to call ! spade q spade in referring to him hen here goes:
 Moves is an oily politician, Whc holds a position for which he is not fitted, making other hired help dc he work that he. if he were capable md honest. would do himself, Moves is a parasite upon the com munity for he gets the benefits of thf aoney paid in by the taxpayers, and Ny hiding behind every available tcchnicality dishonesty escapes pay ing taxes for the upkeep of the city Moves is unnecessarily withholdin2 money from the depositors of the hank, many of whom are in dire leed
 Moves refuses to deny the allega ton that he is using the office rented. heated and maintained dt l T great expense by the depOsitofs in the bank for the conduct of his riyate business
 Now, Mir. Moves, if you think this is innuendo and you want strong CT statements made about yourself then have your editor say so, and We will try again to make ourselves clear in our allegation that there lre many reasons why you should be ~omoved from the position of trust that you hold.
 More than loo depositors of the WashingtonA Alaska bank have signed ? ne ition to have Moves removed from the reeeivership of the bank, al leging. among other things, that he IS using up the money in unneces-
 arv expenses and that he is not capable of handling the work. The ~0urt is asked 10 put cOmrete1f man in his place.
 There is another thing concerning which The Citizen wishes to make tself absolutely clear, and that is hat it is not supporting the effort being made to have the cases agains' he directors of the bank dropped The owner of The Citizen is . hondsman for one of the former receivers of the bank, who is now Aaing sued. and if the cases are dismissed may be relieved of some annoyance. but he is not willing tC hinder the machinery of justice for | hat reason
