"Make Good” Your Promises. Will the gentlemen, and now the city officials, who posted the citv about this time last year with lilis saying they were going to enforce the law, kindly inform the people of Tillamook City how much they have added to the city’s treasury by way of fines in their heroic effort in hav ing the laws enforced ? Speak up, gentle men, for we now call upon you to “make good” your promises of a year ago, and to show whether it was made in good faith ortocatch votes. Please tell us how much fines have been added to the city’s treasury, for that will prove whether political promises can be relied upon. It is too bad on our part to bring this poli- tical skeleton out into the sunlight and hold it up to full view again, but we like to cause a bit of fun along these lines once in a while. We predict that the fines amount to about this up to the present time, $000. ________ NEW ARRIVALS, Just form Factory. It is time for Tillamook City to get down to business in the matter of run ning its municipal affairs. It can make a new start—if it wants to—right now. We have no aspirants for city offices to boost, and it is only in the interest of the city and for better city government that we pen this article. Like most of the cities of the North west, men and factions have controlled citv politics, and by the violation of law and “graft,” individuals have become rich and arrogant in doing so, and we don’t have to go outside of Tillamook City to prove this. The saloon faction has practically controlled the city for several years, and will continue to do The Nominee tor Mayor. so as long as men can lie herded and bribed and told to “knife’’ some respect Rollie W.
