F. H. Rogers & Co,

! Springfield, Mass, has winked at con-
tinual violation of statute which for
bids contracts betW cen the municipality
and officials or concerns with which Off
cials are associated, One of the first
principles OF good government in munich.
palities is a safeguard against graft
which might creep in through business
dealings between officials and the mu-
nicipality; and for that reason most
cities have adopted ordinances that ex-
pressly forbid such transactions. Spring
| field has a statute or ordinance covering
this sort OF thing; yet the Springfield
Republican is forced to confess that sit
is disturbing and humiliating to find that
violations of an important statute by
Springfield officials have been common
for years" and it adds; 1T is the fact,
OF course, that moral turpitude enters
into very few of the sales that have been
made to the city bv officials or concerns
in which they had interests; but the fact
remains that there has been much care
lessness, and that in many cases the law
has been violated with full knowledge of
that there would he no calling to ac.
count. This is not creditable to city
government, and that Springfield has not
come to greater harm with such loose
practices is largely matter of good
luck"
The stock argument against such an
ordinance is, of course, that the officials
are honest and there is no likelihood of
graft creeping into contracts of this sort.
1t may be possible to say in any city at
some time or other that the officials are
all honest, but that very pleasing con-
dition does not afford guarantee that
future officials will also be honest There
can be no guarantee that there will be no
dishonest officials ever in public life;
and because of that inability to give
such guarantee il has been found nee
essary to adopt statute or ordinance,
call it what YOU viii, that forbids finan.
eial dealings between municipality or
an official or n company in which an Off
cal is financially interested, except when
absolutely necessary Then, having such
a statute or ordinance, it is equally inn
perative that there be rigid observance
of it, else the statute or ordinance viii
get in bad repute and along will come
a dishonest official who will use dishon-
est methods and, for defense, assert that
he is doing only what previous officials
have been doing without hindrance for
years. OF course, there's the statute or
ordinance, he'll say. but it has been
dead letter 'or these many years. The
Only remedy for such dilemma is to en-
force the statute or ordinance all the
time.
