The Citizen's League was organized ' who would uke the Mine po8lUon Ior

they call for careful consideration.
matters before the public. We are
organized for that purpose, and fur
ther, for nominating candidates for
office who are progressive and who
will advance the best interests of the
city. Nearly every member of the
League owns his own home, and
therefore is a fixed citizen, and must
in future meet the obligations con
tracted for today. The faith and
credit of the city Is directly with
its Citizens. Centralization of capi
tal and labor make a City, and capi
tal without labor can do nothing, and
labor without capital cannot exist.
Hence, the "Faith and Credit of a
city rests in keeping the labor em
ployed and paying them therefor."
Has the preesnt administration done
this?
The Citizens' League started out
by showing the management of the
City's affairs that no man could get
a "toquare Deal" before the City
Council unless he "stood in." This
Is not American principal. We claim
to lead in the present campaign, and
Challenge for the right.
The City is running behind from
$500 to $1,400 a month. The pres
ent administration calls for bonds to
pay its bills, yet no effort is made to
put the City on a business basis,
where the income will meet its ex
penses. Listen: If the bond issue
carried, wouldn't they still run be
hind? And wouldn't it be a short
time until we would be in the same
box we are now in?
Why has it required two night
watchmen, until the Citizens' League
started?
Why should not the Milllcoma
Club pay a liquor license, the same as
any other place where liquor is sold
and drunk over the bar?
For the office of City Recorder our
nominee, John Butler, is willing to
do all the work; that of the recorder
and Clerk, for 75.00 PER MONTH.
The Fire Department Is willing to
look after the City's Are apparatus
for $300.00 a year and have it under
control of the Chief of the Fire De
partment. Wouldn't that be better
than the present system, even with
out the saving in money?
Now let us see what the three
above items will do.
First, $600.00 a year as llense
from the Milllcoma Club will pay 6
per cent Interest on $10,000.00 of
the City's debt.
Second, If you elect John Butler
as recorder the city saves $900 a
year, and this is 6 per cent on $15,
000 of the City's debt.
Third, if the City places the Fire
apparatue in charge of the Fire De
partment and pays them $300 a year,
the City saves $900 a ear, which Is
also 6 per cent on $15,000 of the
City's debt.
Now, then, without going any fur
ther, by the above items the City
will save and honestly earn, more
tbanit does now, $2,400 per annum,
or C per cent on $40,000, the amount
of the City's debt. Therefore It is
not necessary to vote for bonilb
no'ther is it necessary to vote to in
crease the limit of indebtedness. It
Is only necessary to carry out the
above economies.
What good is the present City
Engineer, with his helpless corps of
assistants? Where has he made a
betterment In the grades or streets?
Yet this man and his office are cost
ing the City from $800 to $500 per
TOontb. Look at Flanagan Street,
Cedar Street, Prohpect Avenue,
Chestnut Street to Nasburg's Addi
tion, or Sixth Street South Marsh
Held, and in your conscience will ask,
why do they keep this man in office.
Compare his work with the work
whose homes are in Marshfield ana
whose earnings are invested here,
lhe local merchant berates the mail
order house, yet when we had plenty
of able engineers at home, an engin
eer is ordered by mail from Baker
City. Now business men, is this jus
tice -to those who trade with you?
Some people may think that the
Citizens' League is opposed to the
Mlllicoma Club. This is an error, for
we only claim they handle liquor and
should pay license to the City.
In politics sometimes articles are
published with a view of distracting
attention from the facts at issue;
therefore. Citizens of Marshfield,
look well before you vote. The nom
lneess of the Citizens' League ex
press themselves through this paper.
Read what they say, weigh this mat
ter carefully, and see how the Citi
zen's League stands to guard your
interests in Marshfield, and those of
your home. Read the "Campaigner"
of last election, and see If the pres
ent administration told the truth. If
they misrepresented at that time.
why won't they now? Who printed
the Campaigner anyhow? Did you
ever find out?
The Citizens' League ticket is
Thomas Coke and Carl Albrecht for
Councelmen, and John Butler (own
er of the Butler Block) for Recorder;
and vote NO on the bonds, and NO
on the increasing of the limit of in
debtedness. The League has always made its
business public, has done nothing in
the dark, is afraid of no one, stands
for an honest business administration
in the hands of the City's friends,
and asks the hearty support of all
the Citizens of Marshfield at the
election Tuesday.

ON PROGRESS
STATEMENT OF J. W. SNOVER.
The office of Recorder Is largely
Judicial. It also deals in the city's
finances to some extent. In a village
it is not important whether the Re
corder is an expert or not, but if the
municipal corporation claims to be a
city it should employ an expert for
such an office. The Recorder should
be a trained lawyer, for many ques
tions for a .legal mind to solve will
come before him as judge. This was
the view I took when I accepted the
candidacy for the office. As a law
yer, an accountant, one who has had
experience as mayor of another city
and as a business man, I felt that it
would be a position whose importance
would increase rapidly in the next
few years. I am in full sympathy
with the policy of economy, and
progress and I shall, if elected, be
impartial and attentive to business.
I shall give my whole time to the
duties of the office. One thing the
citizens may be sure of that I am
independent. No clique, nor inter
est and no party can Influence me to
betray the trust reposed In me. I
neither work for a corporation nor
am I under obligation to one. Yet I
will treat eery corporation fairly
and keep within the spirit of the law.
I hae felt that this statement was
due In my pwn justification and for
the information of the voters.
Yours Resp.,
J. W. SNOVER

EXPRESSES HOPE THAT POLICY
OF ADVAXCIXG CITY WILL BE
ENDORSED AT TUESDAY'S
ELECTION'.
To the Citizens of Marshfield,
In view of the approaching city
election and the policy that will be
involved it seems some defense of the
administration has become necessary.
The administration has been assailed,
in my mind, unjustly In most in
stances. Any public official is likely
to err when matters of the Impor
tance which have marked the pro
gress and growth of Marshfield dur
ing the past two years are put before
him for a decision. The history of
the improvement of Marshfield is
identical with that encountered in
every other city at some period of
its existence. There comes a time
for every city which takes on prodigi
ous growth, which must prove its
claims to importance and "show"
those who would invest, build and
take an active part in commercial
life, when such a city must look some
distance Into the future and provide
for the Increase in population by
opening new streets, derranding fire
limit restrictions, enlarging and bet
tering fire protection, establishing
uniform grades that property hold
ers may conform to them when build
ing and save themselves unnecessary
future expense. Whenever such an
era Is introduced it meets with im
mediate and determined opposition.
This is invariably true, in Oregon, as
well as elsewhere. In Oregon, the
tide of improvement and substantial
progress has been rising with won
derful rapidity and nowhere has the
opposition been strong enough to
stem it. Witness the "new" cities of
Pendleton, Klamath Falls, Eugene,
Medford, Baker. Those have expand
ed and Improved because of civic
pride and through fear of falling be
hind the procession if modern things
were not adopted. In Eugene where
paving was taken up less than two
years ago, the matter was fought
bitterly. Today there are sixty
blocks of paving in Eugene and prop
erty holders outside the paved dis
trict are clamoring for paved streets.
There is no dissatisfaction there over
the era of progress, and on the other
hand, citizens feel their enterprise
has placed the city in a position
where her future is assured. The
sentiment of Eugene is being reflect
ed in Marshfield and will become
more pronounced every day as the
necessity for what has been done is
realized and petty thoughts are given
no place In our wide-awake citizens'
deliberations.
It is plain that some hardships have
been wrought property owners since
the Marshfield era of improvement
was launched, but It was Inevitable.
The city was about to undergo a de
cided building boom by reason of a
steady stream of new population.
This was evident two years ago when
the policy of improvement was
adopted by the city council. The
council saw that, in order to accom
modate the increased demand for
homes, the city would expand and
more homes could not be built, in the
residence district which was then
congested. Naturally, the residence
district would spread over West
Marshfield and Railroad Addition on
the low and on the high land, even
to the district south of Coal Bank
Inlet. This has proven true, Marsh
field would not haye grown as it has
had It not been that newcomers saw
that the spirit of expansion was being
recognized by the city council and
they could accordingly expect con
siderate treatment if they were forc
ed to the outskirts of the city to find
suitable sites for homes. This ex
pansion meant new and.. Improved
streets, new walks and expense it
other lines. The council met the
emergency as every fair-minded per
son can see was absolutely impera
tive. In fact, the city was at a point
where hesitancy in starting a policy
of push would have resulted in un
told injury Investors and business
men wno have become residents of
this city during the past two years
have been free to say that their
deciding to locate in Marshfield was
largely due to the attitude of the ad
ministration towards new enterprises
and civic growth,
It has been more than two years
-jince i recognized the necessity of
such street improvements as hae
been made, (n ordor for Marshfield to
maintain hor position as one of the
coming cities of Orogon. This neces
clty was so evident to me that I made
a trip to Eureka to observe what ef
fect permanent street improvement
had had in a city similarly situated
and with the same Isolated position
as Marshfield. My convictions as to
the necessity for permanent street
Improvements were greatly strength-

ened by this investigation. Later on,
to satisfy myself as to the best ma
terial for hard-surface pavement,
suitable for our streets, I made a
special trip to Portland for that pur
pose and made a thorough investiga
tion of the subject. Both of these
trips were made at my own expense.
My report to the council resulted In
the adoption ot bituminous paving
and bringing the Eureka Paving
Company to Marshfield to execute the
work. We now have ten and a half
blocks of hard-surface pavement and
if (he council continues the present
progressive policy there wil. be many
more laid next year.
Wrhat part I have taken in this
policy has been. In my mind, for the
best Interests of Marshfield and
every effort on my part has been
made with that end in view. There
has been criticism suggesting extra
vagance in expenditures, but I be
lieve with the city council that such
improvements as have been made
were necessary and urgent and were
therefore justified. In my estimation
any attempt to thwart such a policy
will b,e. regretted by .the citizens of
Marshfield, If It proves successful
The growth of Marshfield has been
so rapid In the past two jears, that
it has been impossible for the council
to provide, in advance, means
I
r
for,!
meeting the expenses which have In
creased accordingly. As a result, the
city now has an outstanding warrant
Indebtedness of J42.00Q which iiiist
be paid. This may be adjusted either
by Issuance of ten to twenty years
bonds, or it may be met by direct
taxation within the next twj'.ve
months. The council has very wisely
allowed the citizens the privilege of
deciding which method they care to
employ, though it had the power to
make the necessary levy without con:
suiting citizens. An amendment to
the city charter, authorizing such
bonds will be submitted to the vnt-
ers at next Tuesday's election. Thej !
result Is Immaterial to the admlnls- T
tratlon. The question is nut hpfnro , t
the voters for a decision and there is , t
no disposition to influence that deci-,f
sion either one way or another.
It has beon said that If certain re- j 1
suits are not forthcoming In Tues-' '
day's election that I will resign. This T
is not true In any particular. I am
not a quitter and shall continue In
office until ray term expires and will
serve the city to thQ best of my ability.
Very respectfully, I
E. E. STRAW, Mayor.
