overcome Gov. Dewey's lead. The
governor looks like a winner by a
rather modest popular vote mar

VOTE against BOTH INITIATIVES
IN THE BEND CITY ELECTION
We.
a substantial group of residents and
voters of Bend, being profoundly interested in
the future welfare and stability of our city, wish
to draw to the attention of all citizens the great
potential danger in the proposed charter amend
ment and the proposed recall measure which will
appear on the November 2nd ballot. It is our
considered opinion that these measures, should
they be approved by the electorate, would have
the effect of seriously prejudicing the financial
stability of the city and of nullifying the best
efforts of any government which may be elected
to office.
Listed as 100 YES and 101 NO on the ballot
is the Charter Amendment proposed by initiative
petition, the first section of this reads: "This is
an act to amend the Charter by adding thereto
a section providing all revenue ordinances adopt
ed by the City Commission shall be subject to
approval of the voters at the next regular elec
tion." The principal, if not the only, ordinance which
would be affected by this provision .is the park
ing ordinance, which produces an annual revenue
of approximately $24,000. This is equal to a tax
levy of five mills per year on city property. This
proposal is a continuing effort on the part of one
group of citizens to do away with parking meters
on our main business streets. Aside from the loss
of convenience and revenue provided by the park
ing meters, there is further vicious menace in the
proposed amendment in that it would shackle
the City Commission in one of its most important
functions. Revenue measures might be delayed
repeatedly, even to the point of jeopardizing the
city's credit and future progress. A majority of
voters elect the city commissioners with the con
fidence that they will be able to deal with the
financial balance of the city. Then why take the
job back upon ourselves, why put the city to the
expense of innumerable special elections, why
make the position of city commissioner just a
hollow-sounding title?
VOTE NO
The second section of this charter amendment
reads: "At the regular election in 1950 and each
four years thereafter, the "matter of retaining or
dismissing the then incumbent city manager shall
be on the ballot."
According to the present City Charter the
City Manager may be dismissed at any time by
the City Commission. This is a more timely check
than that offered by the proposed amendment.
Thinking citizens should ponder the long-range
entanglements of this proposed measure. If pass-,
ed, this amendment will make the City Manager
virtually an elective official. How will successive
city managers feel about this sword dangling
overhead? Will we be able to interest capable
men in assuming the responsibilities of the posi
tion under this condition? Will any competent
man accept a job of this nature when at best it
might be only temporary? Will any man wish to
so expose himself to the public every four years?
Would he not prefer to render account at all
times to a seven-man city commission than to de- '
fend himself to the electorate at large once every
four years? Shall we make the position of city
manager a political football? Last year we elect-
ea a seven-man commission as a representative
form of government let's not immediately start
taking away their authority; let's give them ample
opportunity to perfect the working of the city
administration.
VOTE NO

five of, the seven city commissioners reads as
follows: "This is an act to recall five city com
missioners, the reason for said demand being that
it is our opinion that the' stf public officers are1 4
not working for the best interest of the majority
of the citizens of Bend."
The men against whom this recall action has
. been broughf are five of th seven city commis
sioners elected by a majority of the voters only
12 months ago. No dissatisfaction with their
actions was expressed until they refused to take
action which they considered unfair and unwise:
that is the dismissal, at the request of a grudge
group, of the City Manager and the Chief of Po
lice. Through the last three months under fire
these five commissioners have remained solid and
steadfast in their convictions. Isn't that the kind
of fearless representation that we want? Are we
to sacrifice five substantial men to the selfish
purpose of a minority group which is actually
interested only in the dismissal of the City Mana
ger and the Chief of Police? If this is to be the
pattern for our city government elect them
then recall them will anyone be interested in
sacrificing themselves to the thankless service?
- In these five commissioners you have a known
quantity in appointees you're taking quite a
chance, aren't you?
VOTE NO
Fellow citizens, these are critical issues. Let's
all do our share by going to the polls and voting !
In that way we can determine whether or not
we are being governed by a minority. If the ma
jority of voters vote for the recall and the charter
amendment then it is not a minority group . . .
but unless you exercise your voting privilege you
have no cause to complain if only a few people
dictate the city policies.
