THE ELECTION SATISFACTORY

On the whole the people are we'll pleased with the suit of last Thursdays election Four of the six propos- tons on the ballot adopted The other two would nave been adopted if the people had thoroughly understood them One of these prevent the erection ot industrial m stitutons next door to church private residence The opposition to this praSewohy based on the assertion that would prevent the erection of stores in the residence part of Yuma while such construction could be fairly placed on the It had absolutely nothing to do with stores But when the proposition comes again this can be made so plain that ALL opposition will be re- moved
 The other defeated proposition related to the useless printing of city ordinances ten times or more leaving the matter whoyn the hands of the city council say what ordinances should or should NOT be printed and the num- Der of times it should be printed Under the present law ALL measures must be printed TEN times An apt illus traton of the absurdty of this can be found in the original ordinance ordering the paving of First and Second avenue By an the bids called for by this ordinance were opened ONE DAY ahead of time the ninth day of publication The publication had the taxpayers $l8O By this little the whole thing had to be pub shed over again for TEN DAYS whereas under the pro- posed new rule ONE would have been ample and the people would have saved least $50 in this item alone
 All the other measures were adopted the socaed Kry ger ordinance getting the largest maory because of its peculiar position the ballot at least fifty voters voting for that when they thought they were voting tor the Sanguinetti-Ewing ordinance.
 All in all it good day s work for the people ot Yuma The city is FREE from the clutches of the Los Angeles hghbinders, for they fix their own for water ga power and light and it goes without saying that these will be adjusted to be fair to both the people and the highbinders.
 The Corporation Commission will be here Saturday to hear the petition RAISE the muddy water rates but firmly of the opinion that nothing will of this pro- posed outrage Nothing should of it at any rate will be greatly mistaken in the people of Yuma if they per init this outrage to be consumated Now awfuy good time to notice this alpowerul Corporation Com mission that the people of this city have rights that MUST BE RESPECTED, even by he Corporation Commis- Son
 However, for the time being think the people can safely trust the city attorney and the city council to take of this very important matter They have their eyes wide open and am convinced they will stand for Yuma against the big He hghbinder. We pulled out his tail feathers last Thursday Don't let up until you have whipped him at every turn of the road Make him put fair price all his public utility plants and then buy them for the benefit of all the people, That's the cys only sal vaon for city the face of the earth thrive when
 has pay 16 cents per kowatt for light and Y cents per front foot for Muddy water whether you the not Keep on his trail. Watch him like hawk for like all other highbnders he resouceul cat with lives. Follow up your glorious election victory by making the big He highlander toe the mark.
