GETTING BY"

In article TX, section 4 OF the
Charter of Ashland II is provided
that there shall be no right Of ap'
peal from the decision of the record
er unless the fine imposed shall ex'
ceed $4,000 Most attorneys hold
that 1t is not constitutional to deny
o defendant the right of appeal. The
other day the attention Of the coun-
Gil was called to this unconstitution-
al feature, whereupon 1t is reported
Mayor Lamkin replied: well, we
are getting by with It," Section l
OF article TX of the charter makes
the Recorder the judicial officer OF
the city and section 9 of article VIII
provides that "in case Of the abb
sence or inability of the recorder to
perform his duties, or in case of a
vacancy in the office of recorder, the
mayor shall have power TO perform
his duties, to try cases, ETC., but
there is no legal provision of the
charter that gives anyone but the
Recorder power to try offenses
against the ordinances Of the city
when the recorder is on duty at the
city hall. In assuming to try city
causes. unless the recorder is absent
or otherwise incapacitated, the may
or does so without warrant of law
and therefore has absolutely no pow
er to assess fine, or to force the
collection of a fine. No doubt should
you ask him in regard TO his authori-
ty he would reply; well we are get
ting by with II aren't we?" He has
a penchant for getting by" with
things. No doubt when he discov-
cred his police court" charter
amendment was not good there run
thru his mind the Injunction: We'll,
maybe We can get by with it, at
least, We will get by with It until
we are caught" From the expert
ence the writer has had with the
mayor We are led to think that he
has a fixed motto both in politics and
public life: "If it can be gotten by
with 1t is o. K" And that is exact
ly why we are opposed to Mr.. Lam
kin as mayor. The "get by" doctrine
Is an exceedingly bad one to be ap-
piled in the conduct of municipal af-
fairs. A municipality has no exis-
tence except by law. A municipal
officer has no power except that
given him by law. Whatever
is attempted by a municipality, or
officer, beyond and out
Side-of the powers conferred on 1t or
him by law is absolutely without
force or effect. In pretend
Ing to act as magistrate OF the city
court the acts of mayor Lamkin are
absolutely Illegal even IL II be con-
ceded that he is legally mayor of the
city. which we think he is not. One
Of these days he will fail to get by"
with II and the city will be made
liable for heavy damages for false
1t is our opinion that Mr.. Lamkin,
both in politics and public matters,
has gotten by" with many more
things in the past than he will likely
get by" with in the future.
In attempting to act as police
Judge the mayor puts himself in ex-
actly the same illegal position as
Judge Brewer found himself. As
soon as he knew it Judge Brewer
resigned. That does not appear to
be the attitude of the mayor.

there are ten per cent of our people

term for members as aforesaid?

o. freSumlng that what the Free
Press means is discontinuance of the
"spoils" system, the Herald heartily
concurs. Old political debts have had
a very distinct part in the tremendous
increase in State activities and State
jobs, to be parcelled out as political
rewards, but the contemporary has not
touched on one of the most vicious fea-
lures of legislative session, to wit,
the candidacy of members of the Cen
|eral Assembly for Offices provided for
by statute. What would the Fress
Press say to another amendment max
ing members of the General Assembly
ineligible to such office?
a. LESS psychology and more bust
ness sense" as slogan needs no argu-
ment, and some of the suggested rem
edies will touch on both.
First and last, the contemporary has
opened up a particularly fruitful and
admirable field of speculative reform.

MUCH FAVORABLE ATTENTION

is being created among the farmers
of this section by the Indiana Farm
Truck handled by the Carolina Motor
Company of Statesville, n. c.
This aggressive firm put out the In
diana Lumber Truck a few years ago.
The remarkable success OF this lumber
Job among the lumbermen of this State
led the Indiana Truck Corporation TO
design and build the Indiana Farm
Truck.
Recognizing that the great majority
of trucks are built for city traffic over
macadam streets, the Lumber Truck
and the Farm Truck are both designed
to meet the jolts and jars of rutty
country roads on the transmission,
motor and axle.
The radius rods are also feature on
this Farm Truck, which relieve the
frame entirely from the strain caused
by any side twisting that IS co common
in trucks not equipped with these rods.
Another engineering problem sue
cessfuily solved by the Farm Truck Is
the in-built quality of its gears to take
care of the start under heavy load.
Special oversize pneumatic tires
have proven as durable as solid tires
These add speed TO the truck and by
reason of their buoyancy lengthen the
life Of the truck considerably.
With its portable power unit the In
diana Farm Truck can be instantly
transformed into an efficient, portable
power plant, capable of driving any loelt
driven power implement used around a
farm-even a threShing machine.
We hope to see some of these Indiana
Farm Trucks operating in this. county
before long. All banking institutions
now recognize motor trucks as an in
dustrial economy.
