Officers May Levy Blackmail Under the Autocratic Powvers. From a democratic standpoint I urge the following additional reasons for opposing the proposed new charter: Because the Mayor is not removable by the people. Because the Charter is throughout its entire scope and essence undemo- cratic. Because the Board of Supervisors is clothed with authority to grant special privileges, to which all demo- crats are eternally opposed. (Art. II, Chap. 2, Sec. 6). Because no money can be drawn from the urgency-necessity fund with- out the sanction of fiftéen of the eighteen Supervisors, and then sub- %"" tzg the veto of the Mayor. (Sec. i P- 3 ). Because bonded indebtedness is to be by bond issue in large denominationsat h{zh interest and on long time (Sec. 14, p 24), instcad of a popular loan | | | | | | of notes at low_interest, short time and in_small denominations, which would facilitate exchanges. Because the Mayor 1s Lord High Dictator of _the representatives of the people. He may demand them to convene to suit his interest, dictate what subjects they may act upon, limit them to such subjects, and fail- ing to command a majority as he vnsheg he:”x)nay veto their actions. 3 vy -:cause the Tax Collector and his deputies may, by virtue of their powers as police officers, levy black- mail upon the petty law-breakers, out- cast women and the unfortunate poor or ignorant who have no means of redress. (Sec. 4, p. 40.) Because the Board of Public Works appointed by the Mayor, controlling the means of living of clerks, en- gineers, deputies, other officials and workingmen to an unknown number, are governed by no rule in the matter of wages, except the provision that no wages paid workingmen shall be greater than commonly paid for simi- l"r}f employment. (Sec. 3, Chap. 1, Art. ) D 92.) Eecause any work assessed against corporate property cannot be prose- cuted unless the Board of Public ‘Works recommend the same and four- teen Supervisors vote for the same; and even then the Mayor may prevent m%l\';-um by veto. (Chap. 2, Sec. 2, p. 6L Because the Board of Education may lease school property for terms of twenty years, tead of erecting and renting buildings that would increase the school fund, beautify the city and accommodate 'the poorer renting clad with cheaper and healthier homes. (Sub. 2, p. 94.) Because = the Superintendent of Schools may decide what book or teaching shall be considered religious or sectarian and exclude it from the schoo! nd also decide what others shall be taught in the school. (Sec- tion 4, page U4.) Because the Board of Library Trus- tees are to have power to appoint their own successors in office forever, thus being entirely independent of the peo- ple with power to exercise censorship over the reading of the geopla. (Ar- ticle VII, section 1, page 89.) Because the police pension fund, an otherwise laudable provision, is to be maintained largely from immoral and reprehensible sources, such as licenses on grog shops, prostitute women, un- claimed property, concealed weapons, pawn shops, gambling houses, receiv- ers of stolen goods, second-hand and junk shops, and 50 a day for each police officer detailed to protect the property of corporations, or for sup- pressing peaceable strikes. (Section 11, page 110.) Because that private company known as the Underwriters’ Fire Patrol of San Francisco is to nominate the Fire M and assistants, and_fill all s'in said offices; and these are authorized to detail p to protect prop- , enforce t ws relating to ex- plosives and combustives, and the sale and disposal of the s and the in- igation for the e of all fires, rether criminal or not, and to arrest cted persons. (Chapter 5, page ecause the widow of a pensioner is prohibited from marrying or from returning to her home or going else- where outside of the State, and In case she does so, forfe hts to said pension. (Section 6, page 117.) 3ecause neither in case of war, fam- ine, pestilence, or other cause Of ex- e cost of iiving, can any salary xed be increased, in proportion sed purchasing power of the salary received. (Section 4, page Because out of over 300 officials and employes _that be appointed or elected, only twenty-six will be left to the s woice of the people, after the County Clerk, Recorder, Tax Collector, Coroner and four Justices of the Peacé are made appointive by leg- isiation, to the procurance of which the Charter Committee now pledged. (Section 1, chapter 2, page 123.) Because the acquisitfon of public utilities, if possible at all, under the scheme of this charter, would only in- crease patronage, but would not fur- nish che to suburban dis- tricts, be e the 15 per cent and dol- lar limit will prevent the acquisition of t car lines. (Article XII, sect page 124.) B se, ad of giving to the people the power of an alternative proposition, it is given to the Mayor in the interest of the property class, and _his alternative may be the worst of > two propositions. (Section 3, page 12 ) Tecause if bonds issue, the Supervi- sors are to decide in what Kind of law- ful money they shall be payable, which, as any one can see, must result in their being made payable in gold coin, th fastening the gold standard on the people of San co, which has not been accomplished elsewhere in the United States; sald bonds to be exempt _from taxation in the hands of money-lenders. (Article XII, section 11, page legislation against sses, by allowing one the chance of promotion and life- long service with a pension, and the other only a common wage at ruling prices without pension and without hope of promotion. (Sectlon 9, page 30.) Secause the Park Commissloners, who are to be appointed by the Mayor, may enact laws for their own govern- ment, let contracts at thelr own pleas- ure, hire workmen at their own fig- ures. (Section 3, Article XIV, page 143,) Because all and franchises forfeited privileges will be reinstat- ed and the time extended six months after the date at which the charter tgkes effect—the date being unknown and unprovided for, no pro- vision being made in the charfer for it. tion 46, page 143.) ause the Spring Valley Water Company, in collusion with the May- or, need control only a solid four in- stead of a solid elght, as at present, in order to block any legislation fixing water rates. Ve want in the charter: vision for procuring the street , and failing to get them we petition that will reduce the B lion doliars we insist is not the way to secure it. Municipal bonds payable in lawful money of the United States, or at most nited States coin, without discrim- imation, in the interest of bankers, money-lenders and syndicates, be- tween gold and silver. The right to appoint and remsve our public servants—including the Mayor— and the final voice In legislation wherever the public weal demands it. The right to acquire puolic utilities by condemnation, and appropriatim at actual value, instead of by purchase or original construction, the only meth- ods_provided in the proposed charter, both being impracticable. A reasonable civil service, but not a civil service that is uncoustitutional and only designed to provide sinecures for one class to ‘the exclasion of oth- ers. Home rule, but not the Mayor and his appointees to be the onxyymen at home. The decision of the majority of the people to be final, and not to Bave the same subject submitted to them again and again as If they were a lot of chil- dren. The same proposition presented by petition to the Supervisors to be su.- mitted to the electors, without the Su- pervisors having the power to change its wording. JOHN F. WETZEL, M. D. MAIN THING IS LEFT OUT. No Way of Getting Rid of Ras- cals When They Once Get In. All who have kept pace with the ad- vanced ideas of reform in municipal government are convinced that ‘“an easy method of turning the rascals out” is the only guarantee for honest service. This principle of honest ad- ministration in the affairs of men, no matter of what kind, has been entirely ignored in the new charter. Indirectly and alarmingly from the standpoint of popular government this power has been delegated to the Mayor. But the question arises, Will he exer- cise it honestly? In the new charter the Mayor is presumed to be a saint, | and while his appointees control 80 per | cent of the public patronage, and ap- | proximately 8) per cent of the dis- bursement of the city’s revenues, there is not one jot or word in the entire in- strument to suspend or remove a dis- honest, weak or vacillating Mayc:. If the framers of the new charter had entered into a conspiracy with the most wicked intentions of forming a close and corrupt corporation for rob- bing the taxpayers they could not have succeeded better than they have done by innocently leaving every opportun- ity to the forces of corruption, Con- centration and delegation of author- ity in the hands of a single individual | has been the cause of all the heartless | tyranny which enslaved man since government was first Instituted, and the excuse was always the same, name- ly, that the people are not capable to govern themselves, hence the excuse for concentrating authority. Representative government is to-day a fallure, because the people delegate absolute power to their representa- tives, and the latter invariably sell the people out to a class or to individuals who are scheming to obtain special privileges. Now, when people have learned that absolute representation has resulted in their being misrepresented, are they going to retrace their steps to auto- cracy? Will the people repeat the folly of the French, by overthrowing the directory for a consular throne? After which came the first consul for life, and then a relapse into a military des- potism, which, by way of excuse, was declared necessary for the salvation of France. To say “Any charter is better than our present system” is absurd, because the officials which will run the city government under the new charter wiil be further removed from their accs ability to the people than they ar hence they are likely to be worse. The present consolidation act is not near as bad as we are led to suppose. ‘With some few important amendments it would be infinitely superior to any charter which has thus far been sub- mitted and equal to any charter which | in the future may be submitted. The amendments are, briefly: Home rule; a large Board of Supervisors, subdi- vided into committees, who shall have | full charge of hospitals, parks, police, i schools and other public functions, and an easy method of turning the rascals out. This must be clear to any mind who has given the question of municipal government and needed reforms careful attention. How to get the rogue out of an of- fice which he disgraces by betraying a public trust has not been sufficiently discussed nor has it received the notice | of the. press which its importance de_i mands | There would be nothing more potent | than the possibility of immediate re-| moval from office and disqualification | for holding ever afterward any office or trust from the people to deter anl officer from being dishonest. Such an | innovation in the public service would stimulate the ambition of every citizen | for higher ideals of civic duty, and every man would take a deeper interest ‘ and greater pride in his citizenship. | There are so many legal technicalities in the way of a conviction, rules of evi- dence and other quibbles so that it is| impossible to convict the poiitical bood- ler, and hence the criminal officeholder goés unwhipped for his crimes. To argue that this class of criminals can- | not be punished is to admit that our system of absolute representation is radically wrong, which is true; but it does not follow that the system cannot be changed, nor that the abuses cannot | be righted. To continue present methods which the new charter proposes with greater | opportunity for fraud and misgovern- | ment, in the hope of finding honest men | or an honest man for Mayor, who is to keep all the others honest, is in the | light of experience absurd. The abso- lutely honest man is an ideal, for hon- esty is only a relative term, and no one knows exactly what it means until the last act of the individual has been done or his last word spoken. No one knows how thick the skin of the presumably honest man is, and what quality of prize will rub it off and expose the thief. Few people are as honest as they make people believe, nor as honest as they think they are. The predatory in- stincts of man are not vet extinct, for | his origin is not sufficiently remote. The predatory instinct originated from the necessity of nutrition co-ordinate with self-preservation. Selfishness and | greed are exaltation of the same prin- ciple. ] The new charter contemplates to make the School Board honester by re- ducing its number from twelve to five members, just as though honesty de- pended on proportion or numbers. Such a plan would not make the School De- partment seven-twelfths honester, but simply give a board of five the oppor- | tunity of becoming seven-twelfths more dishonest. Nor is there any guar- antee that the School Board will be more honest because appointive instead of elective. Experience has abundant- ly proven that appolntive officers are as corruptible as those who are elected. The remedy lies not in the futile at- tempt to put honest men in office but in devising means to prevent any man from becoming dishonest; or if there be a preponderance of dishonesty in his nature, that his dishonesty will be re- duced to a minimum. The people must have and reserve the right to vote out of office at any time men who fail to serve the public or are untrue to their pledges. The people must have the power of recall- ing any officer for whatever cause, and ADVERTISEMENTS. POLAR BEAR First Class $aoo To Dawson. ALASKA-YUKON TRANSPORTATION CO.

Legal jug- glery must not intervene between ser- vant and master, or employe and em- ployer. In order to do this the voters must nominate and elect their Super- visors and School Directors by small districts, so that the voters will per- sonally know the candidate. The char- ter convention did not take to this method, on the ground that certain Cis- tricts would be colonized and controlled by the bosses. While that would be true in some districts, it would only be possible in a few. Most of the districts would be controlled by public-spirited citizens, who would become more num- erous under the reform plan than they are now. Men are more inclined to be honest in their collective capacity than they are as individuals, and knowing honest administration of public affairs to be possible, they would strive to obtain it. The voting out of office can be done by ballot confined to the district which the officer misrepresents, or by mail, or by registering for or against the ac- cused official at the City Hall. There is no trouble to devise a method that | is practical and cheap if there is an | honest willingness to institute the re- | | | form. : The people have been sorely tried by ! seeing the boodler snap his finger in their faces and giving the officers ab- solute control over their affairs, with fraud and corruption an open secret and without any redress. The new charter removes 80 per cent of the city officials beyond their reach and will make matters worse than they are now. The new cHarter is a botch work of compromises and should be voted down. The cure for the evils of | democracy is greater control of public affairs to the collective citizenship. JOHN A. MILLER, M.D. COLLECTED IN THE CORRIDORS. N. P.
