STAATS EXPLAINS 3 MANAGER PLANS STUDENT GIVES ARGUMENT FOR AND AGAINST METHODS DESCRIBED DISCUSSION OF QUESTION IS ASKEI In Third Article Municipal Authority Declarf i Ropontiblllty Cannot b Placed Undtr th PrtMnt Charter 'DUTCH' STORF WILL (By J. O. 8tat.) Tbron different ni' thod are uned In elM tliig a city manager. UralThe people elect council or roiiiinUon lb name doe not mat er, their function are tbe aanie) which employ tbn rlly manager lo carry out tbe plan of (ho conimlialon Heronu The p-oplo elect a mayor ii d council, tb mayor having prac tically the aamn power that are given under our preaent charter and the council act an a legislative body; tbe mayor appoint tho city manager, the PIMilntment being approved by Ihe council, and the city manager baa the ppolnting ot all other city officials. Tb argument In favor of both of theio plum I Hint It places the city manager beyond the reach of the prea- ii re that I brought to bear on tbe lectlvo of I her. He I ax-countable only to thone who appoint hi in and It a hla busliiea lo cairy out their plana, Tbn third method la for tho people lo elect a council which Is a legislative body only and a mayor who la the city manager and devotes hi entlro time lo Hie city's business, reporting each month to the council tho condition of tho city financially nnd the various Im provement under wny and making iiiggestlou to them of tho legislation needed. The argument In favor of this plan that It makes the city manager dl ctly responsible to tho people, who have Ihe power of recall at anytime. Tho argument agalnBt the first two una Is that It places tho city man ager too fur away from tbe people and he has no sympathy for tholr needs, his solo object being to please the mayor or th council who appointed him instead of tho people who pay for bis services, also, that It places a re sponsibility on the council and mayor of selecting a manager when the peo- plo themselves should bear this re sponsibility. The argument against tho third method is that it places tho munngor In too close touch with the people and ho may, for political reasons, be swayed by what ho thinks is public sentiment to such an extent that the city's best Interests will suffer. I am giving the three different methods and the arguments that are used both for and agalust each one and ask you taxpayers, who are the proplo to say what you want, which of these plana appeal to your. Every taxpayer In tho city 1b Interested in this question. Let us have your opin ion now so that there can be drafted Into the charter the method that the taxpayers want. Instead of what tho politicians want. Thero is no question but tho people of Oregon City wnnt n change In their method of government, something that will ennblo them to place responsibil ity. It cannot ho done under our pres ent charter. Will you help us with suggestions of needed changes? No small bunch of men, no matter how capable or honest thoy may be, Bhould, unaided, draw up a charter for a whole people. They should have the advice of tho people themselves.

E PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 9. An em- ergency clause may be attached to the prohibition bill to be passed at the coming legislative session. This will preclude the possibility of referring the measure to the voters and postponing the effectiveness of the prohibition law until the end of 1916. It hns become generally understood that the saloon Interests are eager to Invoke tho referendum against the pro hibition law that is certain to be en acted. This would give them at least 10 months' additional time in which to ply their trade in liquor. The "dry" forces now are planning to circumvent this move by asking the legislature to attach the emergency clause to the law. This will make it immediately effective at the end of 1915. Wisconsin, His friends here report that be ex pects now to conio back and claim bis seat. As he has been elected on the face of tbe returns, the secretary of state, In the regular procedure, will be required to Issue his certificate of election. But Hurst and his friends are pre paring to file a contest with the secre tary of state. They will make the al legation that Hurlburt, by his own ad mission of plans to profit from the pro ceeds ot a relief bill that he proposed to Introduce tor a man who had beeu Injured while working for the state, had disqualified himself for the office and that all the votes case for him were illegal. It is probable that the case finally will be settled by the lower house of the legislature Itself. The legislature is the sole Judge of the qualifications ot Its own members. The regular order of procedure will be for the case to be brought before the house committee on credentials. It Hurlburt makes an effort to retain his seat it Is probable that an Interesting contest will bo waged. Even It he does not return, it Is not certain that Hurst will be able io hold the seat. There Is a manifest disposition on the part of many legislators, including several from Multnomah county, to oust Hurlburt, but there is no similar display ot intentions to give the seat to Hurst. Inasmuch as Hurlburt al ready has been repudiated by the Re publican county committee, many Re publicans are Insisting that he shall not be seated. They declare It will bring discredit on the party.
