ton of recall for the commission

81 have ordered the election for the
recall of the commission form of gov
ernment. The election will be held
Tuesday, September 26, 1915,
"I originally refused to order this
election. My refusal was based on q
written opinion rendered by the city
attorney, C. S. Monteith.
"Now that the court has passed
upon the matter, and having a high
regard for the opinion of Judge M.
l.. Smith, can see no good reason
for appealing this case to the State
supreme court.
"The earliest time under the Law in
which I could order the election
would be Monday, Sept. t26. I think
our citizens know as we'll now how
thew would like to vote on this ques-
ton as they would later.
can early election, with this ques-
ton settled, will quiet the unrest
among our citizens and be conducive
TO the best interest of the city, it's
people and it's government.

always to inclose a self addressed en-

NOW FOR BUSINESS.

During the past year, as we have
frequently remarked, We have been
carrying some several hundred sub
scribers on tie credit basis. We can
not do so any longer News print
paper has advanced in price in the
past three months more than 100 per
cent. We want to treat every one
right and all the same And We make
this proposition, with no purpose to
give a premium on getting in arrears,
but with the hope OF collecting some
part Of what is due.
Until the first day of October We
will receipt each subscriber for one
yaar upon the payment of one dollar,
and then he must pay in advance. If
YOU are year in arrears you may pay
that and one year in advance for two
dollars and fifty cents. This will hold
good only until October 1. After that
date every name on our list that is in
arrears will be taken off, without re-
gard to any consideration or respect
of person. We cannot run the paper
without we get pay for it, and We can
at least save the cost of white paper.
This is final.
The price of cotton is good and there
is no excuse for not paying for your
paper if you want it. This means
you, if you are in arrears. 1t is only
fifteen days off, but we can write a
good many receipts in that time.
Don't put it off. Do it today and you
save fifty cents on one year if you
desire. We will grant this rate to
every one on our list for this time, to
be fair to all giving one year to each
for one dollar, even if your time is
not out. After the first of October we
will not have anything to say about
delinquent subscribers, because we
are not going to have any. A number
have asked us to let the paper go and
they would pay this fall. We have
granted their request. This is writ
ten in all kindness and good will, but
it takes money to buy paper. The
date on the label after your name
will show to date you have paid. II
there are errors they will be gladly
corrected. Some one will be in the
Office all the time to write you re-
ceipt. We must have the money by
the first of October, if you want The
Herald and News after that date, it
YOU are in arrears. Everybody will
be treated just alike and we can't af-
ford to send a collector. We are CIV
ing YOU the cost of such collection.
