Three nlzts In stock nt Cramer Bros. ) Editor Rogue River Courier: Sir: I had my mind made up to vote for a commission form of gov ernment for Grants Pass, until I read the proposed charter. The charter Is a "masterpiece," although I, for one of the electors, will vote against it. For Instance, on page 12, article IV, we read: "Elective officers, Sec. 86. Commissioners. The el ective officers of the city shall con sist of three commissioners, one of whom shall be the commissioner of department No. 1 and mayor." Now as to the mayor's duties: "Sec. 87. Division department No. 1, shall have charge of public affairs, finance, police and pound, municipal court, public buildings, park and library, general supervision." Sec. 92 of the same article IV, reads: "The mayor shall have general supervision of all other officers and affairs not now defined." To multiply the mayor's section 87, on pngo 26, of the pam phlet states ns follows: "Municipal court, section 87; Entablement. There Is hereby established within the city of Grants Pas a municipal court, and the city clerk shall be by virtue of hiB office, municipal Judge, land shall art as such, assisted by tr city attorney whenever necessary. ' Portion K.' Jurisdiction: "Sa'l munlelpaV court shnll have original jurisdiction to hear, try and determ ine all charge of mMemennors m declared by th' charter and all cause nrhlnir under snr of the ordinances of the city for a l 'ntlon thereof, and any actions, civil or criminal, over which a police JudK may at any time bnvi Jurisdiction by virtue of the rt 1 laws of the state." "There shall be no trial by Jury and there shall be no change of ven ue, from said court." BISHOP'S Will I dOMMl Mil November JlOtli Thanksgiving day rights, our liberties and Jeopardizing our property. Centralizing power in one man government Is dangerous; provided, always, we acknowledge that power Is liable to be misused. Better not give the power If you do not want it misused, or misapplied. To err Is human. If we could al ways have as fair and honorable men as our mayor and as we now have on the council we would not need to worry so much about power mis applied. The consensus Is that all salaried officers should be elected by the people; then the Incumbent does not need to feel under obliga tion to any one man In particular for the office he holds. This theory la practical and It Is right, too. Ab the councllmen, or commlHslon ers, do not have to devote more than power half of their time to the duties of their offices, $1000 per annum each would bo ample pay for their sor vices until our city has a population of 10,000. The Initiative and ref erendum, and recall features of the proponed charter are good, as well dead languages used in a city char ter It Is exasperating. Respectfully youra, H. B. HENDRICKS.
