THE ISSUE Few, if any, city elections preceded by as quiet a campaign as is ushering in the elec tion to be held next Monday; but never was an election more vital importance to the city. This is the situation: Roseburg has a standing bonded indebtedness of $100,000. There arc no means at hand at this time bv hich the liquidation of this debt can be provided for. The gliest city tax levy permitted This levy, as applied for the the city to meet no more than current expenses and interest on bonds. There has been no surnlus to found a sinkinp- fund with which to meet the Until such a time as provision indebtedness and lest the balance sheet shows a still heavier amount on the debit side the city's affairs must be con ducted on a conservative anil economical basis. There hould be at the helm of the of sound business judgment, tween the expensive non-essentials and the reasonable needs of a growing, progressive For the office of mayor oseph Micelli, Dr. Geo. E. ist named a Socialist who without reasonable chance of election. This leaves to the serious consideration of undecided voters the merits of Mr. Micelli and Dr. Ilouck. Mr. Micelli has been a during that time, as chairman as been the directing mind of the city improvement pro aganda involving an aggregate expenditure of over $200,- 000. Credit for the success of the mayors under whom Mr. large credit lies with Mr. Micelli. lie has been the real spirit in the guidance of these undertakings, and at the same time his unerring business, foresight has directed the council out of more than one precarious unwarranted expenditure of thousands of dollars. He knows the needs of the city minutely. He knows just how much the city can afford, lie is conversant with charter procedure to the very minimum of detail. In the hands of such a man the business of the city is safe. D.r Ilouck, on the other the council just one vear. efforts, as chairman of the weie mrecieo almost exclusively along the line of sanita tion. It can be truthfully said that he has done splendidly in that particular line of endeavor, but public health is no't me issue in me present exigency of city affairs. The real issue at the present time is the demand for a safe and sound management of the city's business. If Dr. 1 louck is making us campaign on any other issue thai fact is not evidenced y Ihe published advertisement of his candidacy. His de- uit inr tne mayoralty would services as a health officer. He would continue in office as a councilman and undoubtedly as head of tlii tinnltli Ait- partment, while in the mayor's chair there would sit a man better quahfied at this time to direct the financial end of the municipal government. There should be taken the next eight months there 000 worth of street and sewer improvements. The dis- inusement oi tins sum calls for a thorough knowledge of technical detail and business ability. Mr. Micelli has been tried in both capacities and he has made good. The election of Mr. Micelli is rendered important at the present time by the retirement from office of his two particular co-workers. City Recorder A. N. Orcutt and City Treasurer Ii. I!. I Icrmann. These two officials and the head of the street improvement committee constituted the real working force of the administration. One of them, as i matter of safe business policy, should be retained in office and Mr. Micelli is the only This situation was appreciated bv a large number of leading citizens and taxpayers several weeks ago and Mr. Micelli, much against his become a candidate fur mayor. It is true that his policies have made enemies, but this is considered a compliment to him. No city ever underwent sweeping improvements without somebody's feelings expected that Mr. Micelli, as mittee, would be a target for the invective of a few dis gruntled property owners. In the heat of a councilmanic debate on one occasion, a colleague, piqued by rejection of his impractical views on a certain item of business, referred to Mr. Micelli as "the acting mayor of the city." This was intended for sarcasm, but it was more, to a large degree, so far as improvement policies were concerned, the truth. The city is to be con gratulated on that fact. It is to be hoped that after next Monday, October 2, Mr. Micelli may be referred to as the real mayor. . held in Roseburg were ever by the charter is 10 mills. past three years, has enabled o bonds when they mature. can be made to meet the city administration a mayor one who can discriminate be municipality. there are three aspirants: Ilouck and E.
