MYSTERIOUS LETTER WRITER
MAKES FRANK STATEMENT.

THE ANONYMOUS LETTER
WRITER has lived many years in
this city, and believes that the three
commissioners now in office repre-
sent the city to the best of their abil-
ity, from their viewpoint. No attack
has been made on their character and
the anonymous letter writer claims
friendship with each of them, but that
fact has not prevented this mysterious
parsonage from believing that the old
charter is full of flaws and that the
new charter, which was also full of
flaws. was a step In the right dircc-
ton, it at least being constitutional.
and also that too much publicity can
not be given to our city affairs.
The people like to be taken into
confidence of the officers of their
community; like to know what is pro-
posed: how their money is to be
spent and of all contemplated i'm
provements, and they will resent any
thing that is done that savors at all
of autocracy or an attempt to handle
their affairs without their knowledge,
even though it may be to their inter-
est in so doing.
The anonymous writer believes that
an individual or community can
only find lasting prosperity by safe,
sane management economy, thrift
and hard work does not believe in
booms. or frenzied finance; also be-
lieves this is not the time to build for
the future; also believes that at this
time it is not necessary to pauperize
ones self nor a community through a
mistaken sense of duty.
This does not neces 'arily mean thai
we, as a community. should become
tt,NT nxrIAttN Ne
and building should stop On the con-
trary he believes that whatever is
necessary to be done should be done
to make our city beautiful and pros
porous city, at the opportune time,
which certainly is not now, and he
also believes that, you should cut youi
cloth to fit your money.
If you are able to buy and maintain
an automobile it is nice to ride in; If
not, walking will do, and. besides, the
exercise is good. 1t Is very easy at
the present time for the people to be
mislead into believing that such a
thing as reaction is impossible, and
through that belief will do things that
one in their sane mind would not
think of doing.
This mysterious and anonymous
writer does not believe in a rule or
ruin policy, but does belleve in TIL T.
RULE BY THE PEOPLE AT ALL
TIMES. The mysterious writer also
believes that in appointing commit
tees, when quick action is necessary
the Smallest number possible should
be appointed, for a large committee
is unwieldly. In community affairs
however, he does not believe in hasty
action and does believe that there
should be sufficient number of COM
missioners to insure the fullest
amount of publicity possible, and such
commissioners chosen from different
walks of fe that the views of all
classes Of people of onr community
NAV be fully represented.
The mysterious writer" is not q
candidate for any office and never
will be.

aid for France m the event that Ger
many crosses the proposed fifty
kilomcter demiitarized zone on the

form of the guarantee IS not vet de-

The French government urge that
garrison life in the neutral zone would
be p!easan'er and nearer home for
British troops on foreign service than
Malta or Egypt. This guarantee,
moreover, is to have no time limit.

miles) on the east bank of the Rhine,

event be Frances true military from

This scheme of having permanent
force on the Rhine has not vet been

it will find any place in Premier Lloyd

nolds. The income of each of these

form a close corporation-and they
do not want any addition TO their
number.
The Journal wants the people bet

strength in numbers also there are
men who could be added that would
bring a feener appreciation of what
added taxation means. To add $500 to
the taxes of either of the commission
