Attack on Newapapert Uncalled For.
The attack on the newpapers was
entirely uncalled for. No where can
the Council find an admission of law-
the clty'g finances by qualifying their
votes?
It waa not nlmply the duty of the
Coiincllmen who were choBen to legis
late for the city that each member do
the bent he could for the city; he had
a higher duty and that was to let
his conatltutents know Just how the
clty'g finances stood and not take In
to bis confidence simply Ms personal
friends. The people are to be trusted;
It Is the people's business that Coun
cil Is chosen to look after, not that of
the Councilman and a few friends.

as possible Is being made of the con-1
dltion In an effort to make votes at'
this time.
What think you, would be done to
the clty'a finances la case there was
no paper here to tell the public of
what was going on? What Influence
has so much to do in keeping public
servants in line as the wholesome fear
of the newspaper? Now don't mis
understand us, we have no personal
reference to the present city Council
or present city officers. We
have no Incriminating data at hand
and are not hunting for any; but the
present condition of the city's finan
ces proves conclusively that such a
question Is one pertinent to the hour.
We do thinly however, that present
officials have become discouraged and
In some cases they may not have been
as firm in their convictions as they
might, but that could not have saved
the city from the acta of predecessors.
There are two reasons, then, why
the proposed plans for public im
provement should be made public
through the newspapers and not on
some obscure bulletin board. 1. For
the good of the public and the pro
tection of the man with the small
home. 2. That the newspaper may
be given support warranting it in
staying In the field and safeguarding
the interests of the citizen as against
the man with the ax to grind.
And when the rate sought to be
charged by the local newspapers Is
but 35 per cent of the rate established

all right if It was certain that this
board should always prove to be com
posed of disinterested persons who
would never make a mistake in Judg

boards are often packed as against
the property holder, and when not
set up against his Interests it Is often
composed of men who are not compe-
Still the
property holder must be at the beck
assessing two-thirds of the cost to
the property adjoining thereto. Every
one familiar with past experience of
the city knows that the Council has
been compelled to Ignore the charter
and build bridges out of general fund.
If they have "Ignored the Charter"
In the past what's to hinder them
doing It in the future. If they have
"ignored" the old Charter what's to
hinder them Ignoring the new one?
And Isn't it. quite a confession to make
In connection with a move for some-
to commit an act it Is wrong whether
such an act has been legislated against
or not. Statutory enactment is nec
essary according to our code of laws
before conviction can be had, but It
In no wise changes the moral condi
tion. Read the following:
"Any Councilman voting to Incur
any liability or to create any debt
In excess of the amount limited and
authorized by law, shall be deemed
guilty of malfeasance In office, and
for such malfeasance such member of
the Council may be removed from of
fice." I To anticipate the revenues of the
city after the adoption of the proposed
Charter shall be malfeasance on the
part of the Councilman so voting;
that's what the new Cbarter says,
and what the present Council decides.
What's your Judgment as to past
Councils, and even to the present
Council? No one Is punishable for
past errors, for there was no enact
ment making the offense punishable,
but how about the moral proposition?
We might add that in these things
we have but roild condemnation for
the present Council .and for any other
where predecessors had made it seem
ingly necessary to "do something" to
get on. But the present Council has
seen fit to hold up the newspapers
of Oregon City to contempt, and has
served notice on the public that It waa
necessary to curb them for "they
might make an unholy combination"
against a "weak and defenseless"
Council, so they pv.t a clause In the
Charter calculated to tell the world
the story of the "wicked newspaper
man." But how does It look to En
terprise readers now? By their own
admission they have done wrong re
peatedly. The plan to retire the warrants
floating around hearing Interest at
6 per cent is a wise move. But while
the public Is concerned In the retire
ment of these warrants It wants to
know, also, how they came to be float
ing around without a string tied to
them. The plan for issuing the bonds
in small denominations and giving
the public an opportunity to secure
them and thus save the interest is
good; but people want to know, too,
why they must be Issued at all.
The people want a clean confession
before they grant absolution; they
want to see the men who got them In
to the difficulty; and they want to
see if the men at the helm now are
capable of piloting them safely to
harbor before they give them a new
commission.
There Is but little time between now
and election day, but if the men at
the helm now wish to explain the de
tails of past failures, laying the blame
where it belongs, and show the pub
lic that they have a firm grasp on the
needs of the present-day situation, .
the public are ready to listen to them. "
But It Is certain that the people can
not be expected to continue to follow
blind leaders much further, and now .
is an opportune time for the public's
officials to convince the people at'
large that the scales have really fal
