THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER 4 (Established 1873) << a NO BOND ISSUE Results from the city bond issue election of yesterday indicate that the votét's are in no, mood for an increase in the public debt at this time. The’ devisive victory of the taxpayers is merely a trend of the times which everywhere is toward] economy and readjustment. In the heat of the campaign and for which The Tribune bears no malice, this paper was acctised in an eleventh hour roorback of libeling the city because it presented ftom day to day figures show- ing tax costs here as against what obtain in other Nofth' Dakota cities. Of course these accusations were simply to bait votes they had no foundation in fact. Someone ‘was merely unloading either personal spleen or in the of ‘the hour said things that could not be sifbstantiated. ‘The election is over arid The Tribune bears re- sentment to no one. It was not actuated by poli- tical ot ‘personal motives ‘to ‘oppose the issue of $30,000 in bonds. Through its columns, it merely gave the facts as it will continue to do without fear or favor. It is no libel to print the financial condition of the city for the enlightenment of the taxpayers who ate stockholders in the city corporation. The City Commission without delay should print a finaiicial statement showing the condition of each fund, whére the money goes and in what amounts it has been spent. That is a common practice {in every city and such information is fiot construed as libel except by politicians who may ‘have ultef- ior'thotives in keeping such information from the people. It is unfortunate that the taxpayers werd put) to the expense of a bond election at all... A brief|.. caiivass ‘of the voters would have convinced the most eager bond enthusiast that there was no deriand for’ this isatle. No time should ‘be lost in trimming’ the city, budget | so that enough can be saved to buy’ an in- expensive truck upon which to mount the fire, ap- paratus, to. make needed repairs and fo, secure ‘the |mot proper supervision of the pest, house and ‘to telieve| the South Side of the dump huisance by the prac- tice of ‘simple sanitary methods which if the City |: Commission does not know, Valley City’s dump manager can give them. For the next. few. years, Bismarck’s financial management must show that. thrift and economy necessary during a period of readjustment, the practice of which will advance the city and not|}. retard it as some are inclined to think. | THE FIRE DEPARTMENT * Voters of the city who opposed the bond issue for the purchase of fire apparatus should not bel. accused of sabotaging the fire department. One of the first acts of the administration, following | its victory a few months ago, was to supplant Harry Homan, the assistant chief of the depart- ment, who had given his services to the city, for years at very small salary, with an inexperienced man. There was much indignation among other firemen at the time over the action, but ‘the, Tri- bune made no mention of the, matter because it did not wish to do anything which might cause the least dissension in ithe ranks of the splendid volunteer workers—volunteer ‘because the pay is inadequate. This assistartt chief, still loyal to the department, accepted the demotion and still serves as a volunteer private. In another instance the fire. commissioner in commission meeting admitted that a change was made because of politics. Politics must not be permitted to rule the Bismarck fire department appointments, One city commissioner. expressed opposi ion ‘to the proposal to purchase a heavy fire ‘truck at/¢ this time because he felt that the price might drop $4,000 within a year. This evidently was the yiew accepted by many . taxpayers who ‘voted against the fire apparatus issue. A member of the city administration stated toddy that a trick would be obtained—a light;truck capable of carry- ing more hosé than the hof'sée-drawn wagon carries and a, ‘chemical tank. The Tribune believes, that the’city commission can and should economize in its general expenditures enough to maintain a fire department as good as any city in Reet Da-|, kota of its size. “FAME |” eat Knut Hamsun, Norwegian novelist, ‘and Nobel _prize winner, was a huitible fellow. in Kiherica ali red-mitted driver of a horse-car in Chicago. , Ww.
