H. Hulett . .
Business Manager
Once upon a time, so the story
goes, there was a captain of a shy)
who wished to steer a course to
the northeast; so he directed his
wheelsman, the man doing the steer­
ing, to bring the ship's prow di­
rectly in that direction, and to lash
the wheel there so that the ship
would always be 'headed jus* right.
He had other work for that helms­
man to do, so he took him away
from the wheel and put him to
work elsewhere.
Now, the port of destination was
northeast o f the spot where t h e
ship was when the wheel was fas­
tened, all right.
but the
winds
blew, the currents changed,
the
tides rose and fell, and the snip
had not arrived. The captain became
worried that he was not arriving
at his port, so took his observations
to see how far they had travelled.
He found to his consternation that
his ship was many miles SOUTH­
WEST of where k was when the
wheel was fastened.
How often in the affairs of mice
and men things turn out in a sim­
ilar manner.
Along in 1912 Bea­
verton got out her charter, o n e
which seemed the right one to get
her to her destination, “ A Bigger
and Better Beaverton.” Then she
lashed her wheel by keeping in office
year after year the same individu­
als. There was little if any taking
o f observations to see how things
were going. Elections were held,
it is true, but many o f the same
individuals came up as candidates
for office and were elected.
There is no occasion to take ex­
ception to any individual In the ad­
ministration. They were good offi­
cials, as individuals; they workei
for many thankless hours to reach
the goal they had set for them-
•elves. They stuck to their course,
by keeping their same charter. They
built up the town’s credit to a point
never reached ’je fjre .
They
met
their obligations and the obligations
o f the community.
But they kept
their wheel lashed.
By that w e
mean that there w-as little change
with the changes o f the currents in
the financial stream. There was
always that thought predominating
their efforts that things used to
work out well this way, and so they
are going to work out all right this
time.
The legislature made many rul­
ing« with regard to the internal
affairs o f cities. One of these reg­
ulations even took the form of an
amendment to the Constitution pro­
viding that municipal officers should
be elected in the same manner and
at the same time that county and
state officials are elected. But these
people in charge had their wheel
lathed fast.
There could be
no
change when the steering appara­
tus was held fast.
There is a likelihood o f having
a different charter, for observations
hare been taken, and it is becoming
quite clear that there is little hope
o f getting into port with our pres­
ent document. Then the wheel has
been let loose, and other hands are
hold o f it. About the fourth
of
January, three men rather new to
the City Council work will take
hold. Two are quite new to such
offices, H. M. Barnes and
Essex
Marsh. Another comparatively new
man, James Lewis, has served one
previous term on She council and
withdrew then for reasons which
were sufficient to him. He has not
sought tihe office this
time.
He
claims he is too busy to give up
the time necessary to make a good
job of the work. But with additional
facilities for getting things done,
with six instead of four councilmen,
with the increased consciousness of
the need for a new system laid down
in a charter, he may find the work
less strenuous than under the old
regime.
Should there be the change made
that is suggested above, there will
need to be filings made with the
Recorder in time to allow for the
forwarding o f names to the County
Clerk so that he may have them
printed on the ballots for the pri­
mary election. If there are to be
nominations made at
that
time
there is need for consideration in
the near future. There have always
been separate ballots printed for
the city election, but this method
will eliminate that expense to the
town.
This plan would insure two can
didates for each office to be filled.
Should there be other« who wished
to run independently, there is plen­
ty of time fo r them to file after the
primaries, for they are held in May
and the election is not until Novem­
ber.
The Review did not make the
law. Neither do we believe that a
law once made should be entirely
ignored just because it always has
been that way. True, the legisla­
ture proclaimed that the law requir­
ing municipality* to hold their elec­
tion In November did not apply to
cities with less than 2,500 people,
but we fail to see what authority
the legislature has to
contradict
the state constitution.
VALUE OF GOOD WILL
One of the striking developments
of recent years in the business
world is the increased value which
individuals and corporations place
upon the good will o f the public
they serve.
Good will is really only another
name for confidence, fur if a busi­
ness concern has the confidence of
the community it has it« good will
It often takes years o f fair dealing
to build up the great asset o f pub­
lic confidence, yet it may be V>st by
a few shady transactions.
For this reason, everlasting vig­
ilance is required on the part o f
cwners o f a M M H f to see that
only are their own principles and |
policies sound, but that the spirit
of the establishment is carries! out
by every person connected with it.
eve-n to the lowest salaried em­
ployee.
ENCO(.’ RANGING CRIME
Carelessness and stupidity on the
part of the victims is responsible
for much of the thieving and swin­
dling which has reached such alarm­
ing proportions in this
country,
amounting to approximately two bil­
lions a year.
Some o f the specific weaknesses of
our “ easy marks" are pointed out
by a Ieidir.g criminologist, w-ho enu­
merate* cashing checks fi r strad-
gers. leaving automobiles
unpro­
tected. carrying unnecessarily large
sums o f money, buying real estate
without seeing it or investigating
its title, investing in stocks a n d
schemes without consulting a reli­
able banker, trying to beat gam­
blers at their own games, lending
money and extending credit to per­
sons o f doubtful honesty, and so
on.
If people fail to exercise any
caution whatever in these matters,
no law or official action can e ffe c­
tively prvtect them from thieves,
swindlers, and dead beats.
While the punishment o f swindlers
often occurs, it usually happens too
late to do the victim any good, so
far as recovering his money o r
property is concerned.
Honest people have it in their own
power to greatly reduce losses from
the above mentioned causes, by
merely exercising ordinary
good
judgment, instead of indulging
In
reckless practices which encourage
crime.
