THE "CABINET"
MAYOUKIFBRTS object In having a "cabinet." cvl
donlly i.s to use the women V chilis and other organi
sations as catsjmWH to pull his political peanuts out of the
fire and help him introduce the spoils system in munic
ipal affairs.
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.
