COMMISSION DOINGS
By official action at the Wednesday night meeting this
week, city commissioners at last put into the record what had
previously been implied by lack of action. Once by a five to
two vote and once by a tie they declared in favor of the status
quo. City manager C. G. Reiter, whose dismissal was at issue,
had majority support. Chief of police Ken Gulick, for whose
dismissal a recommendation to the manager was sought, had
the advantage of the tie vote in which one commissioner had
no part.
In the light of the generally accepted purpose of the recall
move recently started here, these decisions fairly join the
issue. Primarily that issue has been retention or dismissal of
the police chief. Secondarily, because it is the manager, and
he only, who has the legal right to dismiss the chief, it has been
whether the manager, himself, should be continued in office.
Five of the commission will continue to be recall targets on the
secondary, phase if enough signatures are appended to the
petitions to require an election ; four will be under fire as to
the primary division of the issue. In the initiative election
already assured, the way can be laid in another manner for
decision on one of these questions through the provision in
a proposed measure for popular referendum on retention
of the manager. '
Theoretically a recall election should decide one or the other,
or both divisions of the issue. Actually there is no certainty
that the outcome will be based on the principles involved. Per
sonal considerations will be important. But at least the people
have the opportunity for the final say. If they fail to complete
the petitions it may be taken as an indication that they are sat
isfied. If the election is called they may still indicate that
they are satisfied or they may give evidence that they are
not. The charter amendment proposal referring the appoint
ment of the manager by-passes the commission. To that ex
tent the personal considerations we have mentioned are
eliminated and the issue simplified. But it is complicated by
the mess it would make of the commission-manager form of
government.
Getting back to the commission meeting, two other actions
'related to the police situation deserve brief comment Both
were taken on unanimous votes. One was to put the police de
partment under civil service regulations. This is admirable.
The other was to adopt a policy for enforcement of the state
law against houses of prostitution. Rather pitiful, it seems to
us. Enforcement of law is not optional. A directive suggests
that it can be a matter of choice. Apparently the commission
felt that this law required endorsement. Are there other laws,
we wonder, that stand in the same need ?
CALL FOR ENOCH MORGAN & SONS '
It is suggested by the Oregonian that Perryopolis, the Penn
sylvania mining town that recently received a multi-million
dollar bequest, can become another Spotless Town. The
paper then speaks of the problems of the mayor of Perryopolis
and continues : V 1
It may be that he shall have to emulate the chief magis
trate of Spotless Town, of whom this rhyme is recalled: ,
'ilii la Uiu mayor of Sputicua Town " ' , , .
Who spotted a aiiot on the butcher's a-own--
The rest of the verse eludes memory, but we are sure the
substance of it was that the negligent butcher was sent to a
snntlpss 1all to nonder his delinauencv.
We hesitate to take issue over such a pleasing trifle that
recalls other entertaining rhymes in a series of advertise
ments of a once well-known product of a now defunct firm
We think, however, that the Oregonian has its rhymes con
fused. The way we remember it it was not the mayor but the
"spotter" of Spotless Town whose alertness helped to keep
the town clean ana tne rnyme went :
Good for the spotter of Spotless Town
Who spotted a spot on the butcher's gown.
Behind the bars he now shall go.
Bars of what? SAPOLIO.
Sapolio was the product of Enoch Morgan & Sons and the
utnrv nf its rise and fall is a classic in the advertising world.
From its ample resources for research we are sure that the
Oregonian can get the story and that to tell it again will en
tertain the public ana promote tne ousiness 01 tne aaveruHing

and widespread advance interest
promises a good attendance.
The Lakcview Rotarians have
become increasingly concerned
with the advance of sagebrush
on areas once covered with good
stands of rang. grasses. Drouths
and overgrazing are principally
blamed for this condition -with
shallow-rooted grasses . giving
way and sagebrush moving in

There has been extensive ex
perimentation in clearing and re-

of Thursday's event at Valley

while his republican rival sought

Both men began their-"vacations"

official duties and politics will
take up a good portion of their
