Tho first meeting of tin "cabinet," which is composed of representatives from I ho clubs, was held upon half an hour's notice yesterday, none of the members, except .Mr. CJamott, knowing what subject was to bo discussed. .Printed resolutions were presented, mid rushed through opposing tho charter amendment. Tho members, had no preparation, had not given the subject thought, heard but one side, were taken by sur prise and stampeded into signing something they were not posted upon, and -which means the crippling of tho public market. This gives the mayor the chance to herald in print the follewing: That tho members of the Greater Medford club, tho Ministers' asso ciation, tho ParenU and Teachers' association, tho Merchants' association and tho W. 0. T. U. ar onposed to tho amendment depriving the mayor of. his removal power was shown last lution. The resolution was signed by: Edna II. Davidson, representing Oreater Medford club: D. l noyle, renrcaentlnR Ministers' associatien: velt Parents and Teachers' associatien: Nellie C, Power, representing the Washington Parents and Teachers association; II. C. Oarnett, representing .Merchants' association; Lutlo 11, Dnlley, representing W. C, T, U. Yet neither the Greater Medford Club, the Ministerial Association, tho Parent-Teachers Association, the Met chants' Association nor the AV. C. T. U. had ever acted upon or even considered tho charter amendment, nor in structed their representatives to oppose it or to take any action upon it. On the other hand, the Parcnt-Teachei's, the W. 0. T. II. and the ministers have adopted resolutions opposing the armory and the merchants favoring it, yet the "cabi net" took no action upon it. ; Instead of acting in an advisory capacity for civic im provement and development, the "cabinet" is used to make the organizations its members represent play the mayor's political game and help build up his political machine. At last we know what tho "cabinet" is for. THE CHARTER THE. proposed charter amendment to be voted upon tomorrow docs not take nwaj from the mayor the appointive power. The proposed charter amendment docs not take away from thp mayor the power of suspension. All the proposed charter amendment docs is to pre vent the mayor from suspending a city employe more than oncey without a valid reason, thereby creating a personal political machine and crippling public service. The, present charter reads: The council br a two-thirds voto may at any tlnio romovo any officer named in this section except the mayor. So the proposed amendment docs not increase the r council's removal -power. The change m the charter consists in the expansion of the above clause to read as follews: The council by a majority voto may at any time remove any officer named In this section, except tho mayor, providing, however, that the said mayor shall not have tho power to make moro than ono suspension of any officer or em ploy o of said city during his term of offlco except for mis conduct and upon written charges, a copy of which shall be served upon the person so suspended and which shall bo submitted to tho council at Its next regular meeting thereafter. The charier amendment, if adopted, will preve?it the lemoval of the market master and city engineer, without cause, as desired by Mayor Eifert, and check the attempt to introduce the spoils system in the public market and municipal engineering. Vote Yes on charter amendment. 102 X Yes. PUBLIC MARKET AS SPOILS? SHALL the public market be political' spoils? That is the real question to be decided at tomor row's charter election. Mayor Eifert 's first official act was an attempt to re move the present efficient market master, change the system and virtually put the market in the control of its enemios. Because Mayor Eifert has not been able to carry out his alms, has not made much progress in creating his polit jcal machine, ho raises the cry now that he is being pcrse .eutcd and his power taken away. Tho only 'power that the mayor loses under the amend ment is the right to play lioi-se with city appointments, to keep discharging capable men who have mado good, with out cause, the right to keep public service demoralized, as he has since his election. Experience has proven xjimn oiigm 10 lose mis power. ms.attacK upon tno mar ket is backed by the sinister enemies of the market, who hope for its demoralization and fizzle. A vote for the amendment is a voto for tho public mar ket as well as a voto against the spoils system. BE Tho street and road comznittco of tho city council has ordered tho in .tallution of two new drinking foun tains in tho eity, ono for citizens nnd Iio other for nnirouls.

The "Little Joker" on the Charter Has Been There for Many Years To the Kditer: As the nuthor of the charter amendment denning the huiciimoh Hwcr of the mayor I feel called iiMn to nnsner the grohH mis-rcpro-ctitution conducted in the edi torials of the Morning Sun ngninst this nmendmeilt; The sole puprose of this nmruduiqut is t rrcet nil umbigiiily in tin city ehurter ns it now htnmls nml o define the su lending Kwer of (ho mayor. Under the eity chnrtcr the inuyor has Ihu power to suiiK'iuJtiny oftlee or em ployee of tho city, but has no pow er of removal Hac by the concur rence of the council, The effcet of this amendment is to limit his power of suspension to one suijKMision of any officer except for misconduct nnd to require the hiiIi uiii.sion of written .ohargea ugnintt the official, tliurcaflcx. . ,, Jn rcnlitv tho Quieiidineiit niiuply requires- tfirfl('lifetn1isirbe'n elnirKt of misconduct m writing after the first suspension.

The Ashland Dodging Road Taxes (From Uio Ashland Record.) Tho Ilecordls not In harmony with any movement on tho part of Ash land to obvlato tho payment of rOail taxes. It bellows any such move ment is a mlstako and that any charter provision, which contem plates it should bo annulled. It bo Ileves second thought on tho part of business men, and citizens of means will convince tlxjm thnt tho Ido.i !s penny wlso and. pound foolish. In short, tho renouncing of her proper share In road taxes' appoals to tho Ilccord us unworthy, tho dignity of a city of Ashland's protnlnenco. What aro roads for primarily? To settlo up a country, nro they not? Thoy aro to cnabjo pcoplo to got from tho laud to tho market. Tho towns rest on tho 'country. The towns aro merely marketing places for tho pcoplo who reside on tho farms. Without roads thero nro no farms. Without farms there aro no towns. Towns to exist must court tho jtrade of (ho people who far.ni. Is Ashland courting tho farming trado when sho discourages rondrf? Wo aro presuming that this coun try is a farming country. Of course, yqii may say It is a mining country or",u tourist country hut KtllPyofr uped roads. Who Is going to billd (ho rdnds Into your town If you do cllno (ho job yoursolf? Is somebody from outsldo going to forco roads upon you? Hardly, When you re ject a road tav you TMilld n Chinese wull around your town, Tho fact thnt your rhurtcr'iiormlts you to do so does not inuko It right. Let tho farmers build tho roods, you say. Well maybo thoy will, Hut they may build thorn .to somo other town. Thoy may got tho notion thut you don't caro for their business.

Since writing (lie foregoing my nt teiitinn has juxt been eulli'd lit the follow Ing eveunit from litis morning's Sun: "Perhaps everyone husu't no tlecil this Mile joker, empowering h umporily of council, without muse or ehnrgert, to remove nny offioor njipuiiited by the inH.wr." This in another palpable nml thin ly MMirered attempt to dcooivc. Tho fuel is that the olmisc referred to is a part of llie present charter nml no part of tho ninomlmont nml whatever the ouleomo of the election may be that so-called "juker" will still bo ill Ihu nhaiier. K. I'.. KKIJiY. us to voto n special tax on Itself In order to catch somu Iiuko outsldo property holders. On tho heels of It she objects to tho payment of road taxes herself. Wo nro not nrgu.ng from th. standpoint of whether wo ran got out of paying road taxes under our ehurter. Perhaps wo can but If wo do so, tho charter W wrong In theory and should bo changed. This city Is moro vitally Interested In tho makliiK r road8 than Is tho territory ubout It. If It doosn't want roads tho country will not forco thorn upon It. Hut Ashland Is living In n civilized country and civilized countries have roads. To havo tliom every part of tho civilized country must hoar Its Just share. When Ashland rojecu road taxes sho Is not bearing hor Just shnro of tho cxpenso of building up tho coun try. Shu cannot reject thorn with out n, blush. Tho few dollars savco In taxes will not componsuto for tho stigma that will attach to a city of Ashland's dignity nor yut for tho ultlmuto lots of business.
