ability today, on the basis Of trial
heats. appears slightly greater
than that Of other Republicans
tested thus far.

Ciiy's Industrial Expansion
In Next Decade Is Assured
Mayor kaufman Tells
OF Ciiy's Future

Praise and punches dotted n
swan song speech Of Mayor ]. j.
Kaufman. who expects to relin-
quish his year Of appointive service
as city executive June 8.
He praised his council associates
and departmental helpers, the
press and radio. But he swung
out at business men for taking 30
little interest in public affairs and
clean government and at their re-
luctance TO assist financially in
campaigns of competent candi-
dates.
II think" he said, that business
men are notorious for their neg
lect of public duty. I have heard
politicians cry out against huge
campaign funds being advanced
for an alleged business mems can
didate. Sometimes 1t is used to
inflame people in a heated cleo
ton.
Joke of Century
ut is, however, the prize joke
of the century. I happen to know
something about campaign contri-
buttons. l have been on the solicit
ing end on several occasions and
my anger has run riot at the puny
gifts that men of substantial
means. who have made a fortune
in the community. have offered in
the cause Of clean government.
There In always ample I'M
derworld cash available for
candidates for key positions In
city and county government.
That more Of our candidates
do not take this easy way to
an election Il a tribute to the
individual honesty Of the
American citizen"
The mayor said that the local
government isn't up to standard
and vice overlords exercise great
influence in political affairs. The
fault lies with the average bust
ness man-"himself included"--
''who is either too lazy or too
cheap to pay the price Of good
II mean by this" said Kaufman,
backing candidates with cam
paign contributions which will not
obligate them in office, and to be
ever on guard to come to their
rescue when they are attacked by
groups for selfish pur-
poses"
Yield to Pressure
Yielding to pressure, he said, ID
a part of democracy; when q pub
lie official undertakes to resist
pressure from any group, selfish
or otherwise, he frequently stands
alone and the very people he is
trying to protect are the least in
terested.
He is allowed to suffer all by
said the mayor, and
often to be cast aside because he
chose to buck the tide"
When he came out of the fog Of
the first few days in office. Kauf-
man said he had three ambitions
to reorganize the health depart
ment under q competent. trained
public health executive; to have a
thorough study made of city gov
eminent in Tacoma by competent
specialists; and to improve Taco
mas industrial status by making
an inter-tie with the Bonneville
and Grand Coulee power
plants.
Urges New Survey
He urged pressure on the coun-
Gil to insure passage of his ordi-
nance seeking a $4,000 emergency
for an expert gov
ernmental survey.
81 recommend this impartial
study and I make . fervent
plea that the Citizens COM
mite and some IS community
organizations which have rec

through and see that IL 10

He eulogized the Chamber OF
Commerce and its membership
and trustees for what they are
doing daily to put the town
over"

poppy chairman of the American
Legion auxiliary unit, announced
yesterday.
Organization of the workers who

city to supply with the little red
