Standing of what out lenders have in
mind
Nothing In the way of public itti
provemettls ha* been oi is now being
contemplated which cannot be paid
out of present taxi . All reeommen
dalions have bi'en strictly critical of
the fiscal policy of the present gov
eminent, which for more than a de
elide lia wasted the public revenue .
In reality, the candidate < on tin riti
/on's ticket who won the election,
were the only ones running who pro
posed to save the people’s money and
who stand for permanent improve
inonts from any expenditure of your
money.
A city government must be inlclli-
gent, frugal, and must knok what is
demanded In these modem times of
competitive municipal values.
A not hot foolish and ridiculous is
sue raised in the campaign wns the
charge that prohibition would result
if any changes were made in the gov
eminent Only the misinformed were
i misled by uch tactic- Prohibition is
I ait into effect by a vote of the pen
pie, and only the Commlsioner’
| Court can order an election. From
this it can be scan that the * ity
Council can in no way nor under any
i circumstances, change the existing
order.
There is much to be done. The pro- j
pie can build their city by placing it j
in friendly hands and by wiping out i
reaction and defeatism. Make no mis |
■ lake. The city is now collecting '
enough taxes to insure Hity kind of
program of public improvement 1
Taxes will not be raised, but on the j
other hand your money will be wise
ly spent.
