J3ecau.se t fines have been hard and real estate plungers and speculators have been pinched, an ingenious scheme is devised for the relief of the needy by selling the city's credit for a mess of pottage by plunging the community into debt a million dollars, using half of the money to liquidate outstanding paving debts assessed against prop erty, distributing the balance as a refund to those who have met the obligations incurred under the Bancroft act. "When the matter is presented to the council, action is properly delayed until it ascertained by a special commit tee whether the bonds can be sold if issued. Inquiry doos not show that they can be at least no proof is offered that such securities can be marketed for anything like par. Thereupon the advocates of frenzied finance circulate initiative petitions for a special election to submit the re bonding plan to popular vote before it is known whether the bonds are marketable. Hecause the council submits another plan also, recall petitions are circulated against the councilnieu to vent the spite of those grasping tit the municipal indebtedness straw to save individual credit. There is no valid charge made against the Jour coun cilnieu whose scalps are sought. They have not been guilty of malfeasance in office. They have been, guilty of no extravagance. They have unselfishly served the city to the best of their ability,"at a sacrifice of personal inter ests. They accepted office unwillingly at the request of leading citizens. The terms of two of tiiem expire the first of the year. The recall is simply a spite move to rebuke faithful public servants of the best, type for having the audacity to express honest convict ions and stand for the best inter ests of the community as they saw them, instead of yield ing to the clamor of the rule-or-ruin boomers of private rebates at public expense, who think that they can get rich by taxing themselves. JIow is the community to induce any self-respecting citizen to serve in the council a thankless .job at best when carping vilification, defamation, contumely and re call are the rewards offered? This is an abuse of the recall which offers the strongest argument against it for the enemies of popular govern ment. It is a shame to our citizenship and a disgrace to ledford. i' UOMCUT NOOS Siilincrliitloim taken for liiniw zlntfl unil nowipaporii. fr 4 , Dopo INuml 1 ()" ' (From Hntiirprliiu, Kan., l'unh) Ono of J.
