REY. F1IEAN WRITES ON
GtOD GOVERNMENT
To the Editor of The Courier:
Sir: The Grants Pass Ministerial
association Is not in politics, hut It
Is Interested In good government. We
feel that the coolness with which
violations of the law, in the Interests
of rice, have been peimitted during
the past year has been a disgrace to
our city. If any attempt has' been
made to check vice or enforce the
law such attempt has escaped the
notice of the citizens. The para
mount Issue today Is, shall this state
of affairs continue? ' .
We are nearing another city elec
tion, and, having In mind some of
the occurrences of the past, I am
requested by the Ministerial associa
tion to aBk If it would hot he possible
to further extend the scope of the
corrupt practice act so as to give
the public an opportunity to scrut
inize the list of registered voters?
Inasmuch as the registration is un
usually large, and further, inasmuch
as this has practically been In the
hands of one man, it would seem
that the cause of righteous govern
ment should be best subserved by
submitting the list to the sovereign
people. Far be it from any of us to
cast the slightest reflection upon the
integrity or intelligence of that one
man, but even he may make mis
takes. It was Lincoln who said:
"You can fool some of the people all
the time, and you can fool all the
people part of the time, but you
can't fool all the people all the time."
Such being the case, If any have
slipped In who are not entitled to
vote, some of the people would dis
cover it were they to have the pub
lished list before them.
This seems advisable for several
reasons: First, there is a feeling
among the people that light should
be thrown upon city affairs. That
will never be done unless there is a
change in the administration.
Second: The importance of the
measures to be voted upon. The
proposed commission charter confers
most extraordinary powers upon the
mayor and police judge. The for
mer retains the appointing power,
the source of the greatest corrup
tion. He has authority to "remit
fines, costs, forfeitures and penalties
Imposed for the violation of any or
dinance." Ia addition to this there
seems to be scarcely any limit to his
authority to employ accountants or
other officials whom he may deem
necessary.
The police judge is given extraor
dinary powers. Section 88 says:
"There shall be no trial by Jury and
there shall be no change of venue
from said court." That makeB the
czar look small.
When it comes to the matter of
amending the present charter the op
portunity for throwing dust In the
eyes Is even greater. There are
fourteen proposed amendments to
the present charter, and to one at
least there are enough subdivisions
to almost make a complete charter.
In no case has anything more than
the title been given, and few know
what Is the text that It proposes to
amend. Let us take, for example,
the first proposed amendment. It
reads: Section 68. "The auditor and
police Judge shall receive such sal
ary as may be fixed by ordinance,
but not to exceed $1600 per year
payable monthly out of the treasury
ns full and complete compensation
for his services aa auditor and police
judge, Justice of the peace in crim
inal proceedings and clerk of the
council."
How many know that the present
ordinance, the law under which we
are working, makes the salary $400
per yenr, and declares that In no
case shall It exceed that sum? How
many know that his present salary
Is paid (If, ns Is asserted, he Is now
receiving $1500,), In direct violation
of the city charter.
With these facts before us we feci
that such Is the Importance of the
approaching election that every safe
guard should be thrown about the
ballot, and that, the registry list
should be given to the people lu the
same way the proposed charter was
given. Lacking that opportunity It
wouU be well to hold up the amend
ments another year.
