CITY CHARTER CHANGES SUGGESTED.
Perusal of Hid communication of City Attorney Wim
bculy to Hie city council with reference to certain sections
of llie municipal charter dealing- with elections, plainly indi
cates the need of changes in the law, not only to make them
coijform to provisions of the state constitution but in the in
terest of economy as well. Regular city elections, it is point
ed 'out, should bo held on the date of regular state elections
lib first Tuesday after the first Monday in November
instead of Hip first Monday in October, as at present provided-ill
the charter. Special elections of the city, at which only
siifele issues are involved, could be held at material reduction
in .'expense, Mr. Wimberly points out, by having only one
pojli'ng place instead of four one for each wurd as under
t present system. Economy would be further effected, it
wijt ;be readily seen, by adopting the state election date in
choosing new city officials, the city bearing u reasonable pro-
portion of the expense for judges and clerks at the polling
, places, a sum that would be much below the cost to the city
oflhblding a regular election independently in October.
! Newly elected city officials take office, under the pres
ent charter, the first Monday in November, whereas the;
stijte election does not occur until the day immediately lol
loping. It will be seem therefrom that if the regular city
elections are held, in conjunction with the state elections,
newly elected city oficlals'co'uld not assume their duties un
til.'a.full year aftejvvar'di , Thus it. is. obvious that if the two
, elections are held at the same time,, it will be necessary to
change the dnt(j 011, which1 elected municipal officials shall
take.office. fit AUonieyAyjiViberfy suggests January 1 ihi

With the world an an audience a final verdict is awaited
iiLlhe 'Sacco-Vanzelti case," radicals convicted of 'two mur
ders in a holdup occurring severl y'eaf'3 ligd;' - If present court
proceedings fail and there is no executive clemency the two
men will meet their fate next Tuesday in the electric chair
Recent news stories carried in the metropolitan1 dailios'are to
the effect that the United States slate department is consid
erably worried over anti-American resentment' which the
case lias stirred up in all parts of the world and officials are
amazed at the outburst of feeling made evident by boycotts
and demonstrations in remote foreign countries.' It has also
been slated. that American trade will suffer greatly should
the two hum pay the penalty for the crime charged and coiir
,victcd. The case has.no precedent in the annals of world
courts and the final disposition of the men involved is gding
to settle, once and for all, whether bombing of honies,. wreck
ing business -structures', maiming and killing innocent? peo
ple, burning of the American flag and ninny, other equally as
.serious outrages is a factor in doling out justice in our
Cjiurts. If, ly tactics employed by radicals to free these two
ifljjn of the crime convicted, Sacco and Vanzelli are given
nrtytliilig but the death penally the fight for justice in all IV
lure crimes cionmiillcd by this class of society is jeopardized.
Any interference wilh the sentence already meted out sim
ply menus that radicals of this and other countries have more
power than our courts. It would bo a great victory for those
vio are wilfully doing their utmost to tear asunder the net
lion's laws.- . , , , i , '

There is no use trying lo get around the fact that, when
an officer gets on his "high horse" over some trivial viola
tion, of the city, traffic laws and hops on a tourist with a ver
bal tivade lo make ail exhibition of his authority he at once
, convinces the visitor that his presence hero is not appreciated.-'
And. the ordinary tourist being of an independent dis
position, leaves the city with u bad taste in his mouth, carry
ing the nows to others along his route of travel, which, na
turally detracts a Jot of patronage from the community.
Good, sound, common sense is a mighty factor in enforcing
aliy law. - '
