Sullenger for the city truckers and
jumped and left the council chamber when the

the legislation up with
The would the fire and police divisions
wage while the other for other city employees called

THEY STAND PAT
When council passed the two ordinances last Monday night
the city truckers made plain that they dissatisfied They

sentiments in that will cause great concern
BY the time this grees your the garbage in

Honorable Aoysus He certainly has made fine mess of
things not only for the householder who suffer from full
garbage pail the administration which dig
the for the increases and for the city employees
supposed thank it? begin with is that scientific
professor of Political Science Dr. Garfield Jones who in
with other scientific politicians sold the Proportionate
Representation system of elecng city officials to Toledo
THE SYSTEM
According theory where will you find theories
except the brains of intelligent professors') the PR
system to make possible for minorites TO
representation in legislative government
actual practice the PR system doesn't work that
if it did where the democracy majority being
legislated for by minority representatives?
What has occurred here Toledo where Councilman Cze
usa holds seat city council ostensby to represent Polish
minority? Does he represent that minority? Look at the last
vote in November 1943 and will discover that Frank
Binakiewcz selected but elected by the Polish minor
y but the transferring of votes Czeusta back In office
Nor the only the PR system but
in the city charter which provides absolutely OF recalling
elected city official In effect the city charter tells that
officials elected under system of municipal
good and perfect that there necessity of having recall
provision in charter.
To be sure recall elected officials under the
law but that still does not give anything definite in
charter whereby perncous politicians and fumbng mudders
who might get into council under the PR system could be
booted into the political limbo where they rightfuy belong
I'm for putting recall section in the city charter and also
repeating the PR system elecng city officials From all
have heard there few people who favor the PR system
lives only because of the inertia of the right people who could
force its repeal.
AS long have important election staring the
face IN November might well make IL real important by
repeating the PR system and putting recall provision in cur
charter How about
