the new city government shall take
offlce Tuesday evening.
In the past the new city council and
mayor havo been Inaugurated In Janu
ary, the old city officials holding until
the new administration was sworn In.
As there Is no published copy of the
city charter complete. It Is difficult to
discuss this matter Intelligently. Hut
enough is known that It does not re
quire the new city government to take
the reins of government before Jnnu
ary.
The present city council and mayor
are requlrod to mako up the financial
budget for next year. Read soctior
throe of the amendments to the char
ter.
3. On or before December 31st of
each yoar, the council shall make an
estimate of tho expenso for tho ensu
ing year, and the council shall by or
dinance, estimate and declare the nec
essary amount of monoy to be raised
by general taxes, and shall levy tho
necessary amount thereof, which levy
shall not In any case oxceod the sum
nf ten mills.
Flip official terms of the appointive
officers begin In January, and contin
ues for one year. The city council is
the judge of the qualifications of Its
own members, arid can determine
whether they are legally entitled to
hold their seats.
To undertake to swear In part or
all the new aldermen before their term
of office begins will Involve them in
controversy and perhaps litigation.
The fact Is. few persons, beeldos
the present city recorder, know what
the city charter and ordinances of the
city contain. They have not been com
piled or made public In years, and
nave been frequently amended,
changed, re-enacted and repealed.
Not a person living in Salem today
knows whnt tho hlcyclo restrictions
ara, and the now city government
Should proceed with the greatest can
tiou, until It can act Intelligently in
the premlsos.
As no taxes aro levied in the now
wards for the asROsment of 1903, It Is
not necessary to swear In the alder
men for those wards, and they cannot
woll be sworn In before the mon elect
ed at the samo time they wero aro al
so given their seats.
Uomemberfng that there is an els
mout that only seeks a technical op
portunity to tako the oharter of
Greater Salem into the courts, and
have It annulled, tho councilman who
ara loyal to the new charter should
avoid giving any cause for suah lltl
ntlat Concerning "Taxpayer."
IMItor Jeurnal:
I thought the election was over last
Monday, but I see quite a number of
heavy "Taxpayers. whose names are
too brittle to have made public, ara
still charging corruption, and every
thing else whiuh don't cost anything,
to the Republican party and Its eleo
Hon to office.
One of the tuost serious charges is
to the political record of Councilman
Jacob. That is, serious to "Taxpayer,"
Taxpayer charges Mr. Jacobs with
once being a Ilryan man, and en
denvoriug to establish a co-operative
exchange, and with being a Socialist.
Voting for Hryan can't be sueh an
awful crime since Taxpayer represents
many who did vote for him. A co
operative exchange Isn't a bad aide
when the country Is financially panic
stricken and the worklngman. with
his "empty dinner pnll" is without
work and money, all brought nbottt
by such Ideas of political economy as
Taxpayer evidently represents. Under
tht Impetus of the Roosevelt and
McKluley administrations the work
Ingni'ii now carry the "full dinner
pall." To chargo Mr. Jacobs as be
ins unfit for oflloe on tho ground of
being Inclined towards tho Socialists.
Is to let ily a boomerang, for has not
tho city government beoa under the
thnm'w of an open and outsnoktm
Socialist for tho past five years? What
does Mr. Taxpayer want? Is a Social
ist all right it ho pays any taxesT Well
Mr. Jacobs has a nlco 5,QQ0 home In
North Salem, and pay taxes, and
votes the Republican ticket. Can Mr. t
Taxpayer snow mat any city property
is owned by his Socialist? pocs his
Socialist pay any city taxes?
Taxpayer among other of his state
ments says: "We are also informed
by the evening paper that $351 was j
paid out In order to ote floaters whoi
had not paid their poll-tax, which I
counts for 117 votoo" He is as rash
In his nssortlons as he Is llboral in
selecting his promises. Tho ovenlng
paper novor said anything of tho kind,
or anything that could bo tortured In
to an Insinuation to that effect. What
it did say was, that poll taxos amount
ing to ?3. had bocn collected, repre
senting 119 votos.
As to nuylng tloators, Its like being
"hanged If you do and hanged If you
don't." Tho so-called Citizens move
ment stationed hired men to mako
ovory Amoricnn citizen pay 3 for tho
prlvlloge of exercising his free born
right of suffrage, and becauso the ,
Republican pariy had more American
spirit and money In Its ranks, and
enough to defeat tho schoraers who
endeavored to silence the Republican
vote uy agitating the motter of poll
taxes, now the Republicans are
charged with buying the election.
Those who are dead, please lay still! ,
