In discussing the commission form
of government Mayor Klein showed,
according to his views, that this class
of government would increase tax-
ation. which he claimed was already
very burdensome. We agree with him
on the latter statement, but the idea
that th< commission form of govern-
ment will increase taxation is not
only preposterous, but unwarranted
by the facts. The law places a limit
i taxation and no city, town, munic'-
pallty. county or the State can go be-
yond that limit, it matters not what
method Is pursued. If we mistake
| not the limit has already been reach-
' od in Bay City and there’s no power
under the sun that can increase the
i present tax. A mayor that is

M (.1. Klein, according to I
announcements spoke in de- ,
his administration at the
last night to a crowd of
about GO people, many of whom were
staunch supporters of his opponent,
John Sutherland. Mr. Klein slatted
in willing to divide time, but con-
sumed some three hours himself, and
in this manner precluded the possi-
bility’ of any reply, to anything like
the crowd he began with as most of
his heaters had previously gone home
.\o little of Mr. Klein's address was
devoted to The Tribune and with per-
sonal reference as to its editor. Just
what The Tribune or its editor lias to
do with the city campaign has never
occurred to us or to any of those who
heard the mayor's excoriations last
night. Suffice to say the paper and
it- editor were very prominently men-
tioned. but for what reason it was not
made (dear to either the representa-
tive of the papei present or any the
test of his hearers. We will pause,
however, long enough to make thd
forecast that The Tribune and its ed-
itor will be found at tiie same old
place laboring for the town and th<
county and their people and their

Is absolutel.y dependent upon retained patronage. Pat-
ronage can be obtained only through one’s reputation
of selling serviceable goods. Many times the judg-
ment and final selection of dry goods is left to the
merchant. His final word may mean the end of busi-
relations; or the establishment of a satisfied
customer. To satisfy, one only has to recommend and
prove the value of using goods that come from Moore
& Reynolds.

Look at other shoes then come to our store and see
ours instantly revealing their superiority. Made “a
little better than seems necessary,” in a mill where
only the l>est of material and workmanship are used,
there is the utmost safety in recommending them as
"the standard shoes for the masses.”
One thing that you can rest assured, that if we tell
you they are good they are "gooder” than the others
sell.
