rldej the city of Independence Pld
the Honorable Mayor a fee of 150
to argue It before the supreme court,
and afterwards further paid the aum
of 6S aa ooata of the case before the
supreme court.
If as the mayor attempta to show,
or at least Intimate, the proaecutlon
of thla aull la of vital Importance to
the city of Independence In that It In
volves the Question of whether or not
the city ordinances can or ahall b
enforced, why did be not have tno
case fought out on Ita merlta when It
waa op for trial two yeara ago nd
not attempt to dismiss It on a technl
calltyt Tho members of the city council
agreeing to settle thla case In an
(.rateable way out of court reasoned
that the city had paid $ll to try to
have settled a point of no Im
portance to the city of Independence
and at the eaine rate might be call
ed upon to pay many times that
amount and atlll have the merits of
the caae undecided and produce furth

matter Is presented In a fair and lm
partial manner.
The mayor. In a very adroit man
ner, conveys the Impression that the
members of the city council did In a
private or secret way that which
they had not the courage to do in an
official way, when their action would
be on record. This, we believe, Is
unfair. The mayor's statement that
Councilman Bohannon moved, In open
council, not to settle thla suit out of
court, that the council voted unani
mously In favor of the motion, and
that after being Interviewed by At
torey Carson, Councilman Bohannon
moved In council meeting to settle
the case In accordance with the offer
Of Attorney Carson, and that the
council refused to do so, Is not borne
out by the records. It is true that
Attorney Carson met with a majority
of the members of the council one or
more times when the council was not
In session In an endeavor to get this
case amicably settled and that the
question of the settlement of the case
was talked over In an Informal way
In council meeting but no vote was
taken upon the question until a vote
was taken upon the motion of Coun
cilman Mix to settle the case as stat
ed by the mayor. In explanation of
the action of the council In not vot
ing to settle the case as provided by
motion of Councilman Mix, we will
Btate that the mayor stated to the
council before a vote was taken that,
any action the council should take
would not affect the case, as the city
of Independence was not a party to
the suit and could not settle the
case, and he stated In most positive
terms that the case would not be set
tled outside the court room. ' When
the vote upon the motion of Council
man Mix was taken, two councilmen
were declared voting for the motion
and two voting apainst the motion,
the mayor remarked, "Here is where
I shine," and voted no and then
declared the motion lost. So the may
or really decided the question "nim
hlmaelf and if he went ahead and
aubpoenled witnesses on this case he
did so without any Instructions or
authority from the council.
Now Just a word further In regard
to this case. The mayor states that
when this case came up for trial in
Judge Burnett's court, that a motion
v. him for non-suit, after the Krebs
Hop Co. had presented their evidence,
was sustained by Judge Burner, arm
on this ruling the case was taken on
appeal to the supreme court of Ore
gon. The mayor, however, failed to
etate that this motion was taken and
sustained on a technicality.
The attorney for the Krebs Hop
Co. in his pleadings alleged that R.
J. Taylor and I. W. Dickinson had
taken and detained the team of the
plaintiff, whereas the evidence show-
ion Maulta In m OWn family and
