Charter Discussion

"I would not be willing for any of
YOU to have that kind of advantage
of me, and | am fair enough to tell
you So" he said.
Another reason why Mr.. Kehoe said
he was against the proposed charter
is that the charter board under which
the city is now operating provides
that it shall be tried for six years
and this was the understanding of the
people when they adopted it. He said
he was in favor of giving it the full
six years. test before changing. At
the end of that time, he said, he might
be in favor of some sort of change,
but not until then.
Mr.. Kehoe said that he had discuss
ed the proposition with number of
the advocates of the new charter and
that they had all told him that there
was nothing wrong with the present
charter, but that the trouble was wit
the commissioners. eff that is the
trouble, recall them,' he said.
"The trouble with Pensacola" said
Mr.. Kehoe, "is that there is not enough
get-together spirit among US. There
is too much ISM" He said the people
who were not satisfied with the com
missioners should submit to the vii
of the majority and take their medi
cine instead of trying to change thu
| government to get even.
The speaker criticised the section
of the charter with leaves the salar,
of the mayor tn the council. He sai'
this should be lied and definite an,
not be so arranged that Bill Jone
could be paid $500 a year if he wer
mayor, while if John Smith wer
mayor he could get $4,000.
Mr.. Kehoe closed by telling a
amusing anecdote about changing tn
rules of card game in the middl
of the game. 'Try the present forr
the full six years." he said. "Don
let them change the rules in the mid
die of the game"
Semmes Presents Arguments.

posed charter at some length an
probably presented more argument
against the instrument than did an

investigation and finally in the adop-
ton of the commission form of gov
eminent, he proceeded to defend the
present system, declaring that it had
been a success, despite opposition and
everything else. He told how under
the old form, the books had been aud
tied by an auditor from New Orleans,
who was paid the handsome fee of
+! 81 900 and everything was reported to
| be in first-class order and so recorded
on the minutes of the council. Then,
after commission government had
been in effect for some months, an
other audit was. made and it was
shown that in one department of the
city, under the aldermanic form, seven
thousand dollars had been stolen and
nobody had been the wiser.
He also called attention to the fact
that under the old system there was
one department which every month
deposited $3.50 to the personal ac-
count of one man, who paid all the
bills for that department, rendering
no statement or account to anybody.
He said that he did not doubt that
in his particular case,> every penny
was honestly spent, but said that such

( proper and was not possible under

4 Another incident to which Mr.
Semmes called attention was the time
3 the ordinance granting a franchise e

n said that upon this occasion, it haC
: been necessary for four members Of
the council to leave the room while
the others voted on the measure be
cause the four were personally finan
