Portland Turns Down Commission Plan
Portland. Ore., most decisively elected a republican mayor a few
days ago.
It also put the kibosh upon the commission plan of government. In
the interests of the city the republican party took up the fight against
accepting any more socialistic heresies which are taking root in that city.
The republican party voted solidly against the commission plan of munici
pal government, and also said that it was not ready to eliminate the two
great national parties from municipal affairs—at least, not just yet.
How strange it is that there are even a few’ people in other great
cities besides Grand Junction who think as does The Sentinel regarding
the commission plan!
Tnere w’erc thirty-fwe amendments submitted to the charter. These
were submitted under the initiative plan, and only twelve of them passed
muster and were adopted, the others being too largely socialistic in their
nature to semire their adoption by the republicans of Portland, and they
were rejected.
When we consider that a great city, with its multitudinous interests.
«an see nothing very particularly attractive In the commission plan of
government, we feel warranted in the opposition that we raised to pushing
this city into a practically new and not well established system of municipal
government.
Certainly Portland has men of as high principle and w r ell defined ideas
of good municipal government as any other city of its class. It was work
ing under a charter form of government, and still it refused to endorse the
commission plan. Of course, it will he claimed that the politicians were
responsible for the rejection of the commission plan: hut, from our knowl
edge of municipal politics (which, though limited, entitles us* to render
some judgment) we know that the ward politician is only a small per
centage of the entire population.
Grand Junction, however, has committed itself to a commission plan
of government. It carried upon the prohibition tidal wave that carried
this city. It never would have carried if the churches had not been forced
to accept it or run the risk of being defeated in the campaign for a wet
town. The purpose of The Sentinel will now be to secure the best possible
chatter for the city.
So far as any opposition to the charter is concerned, we shall under
take to decide for ourselves what we shall support and what shall be op
posed. No yelping shall turn us from a determined purpose to discuss the
elements of the charter with conservatism and with the broad purpose of
serving the people.
If the purpose is to fasten doctrines of a socialistic nature upon this
c ity, we shall consistently oppose them, as we do not believe in the socialistic
propaganda and shall not hesitate to make known our opposition to any
plank which is radically socialistic.
Portland rejected such planks. We can do well to investigate well
before we commit ourselves to that which we may later feel sorry has
been included In the charter.
Sentinel Finally Wins for Court House
Following out the suggestions that have been repeatedly made in The
Sentinel for the past year or more, the hoard of county commissioners have
begun to consider the proposition to build a courthouse.
Preceding the two county political conventions last year this paper
insisted that a demand he incorporated in the platforms of the respective
parties, insisting that the time was here to build such building. 1 lie
democratic platform contained a demand for the building of a new court
house. that part of the democratic platform declaring that it was the will
of the people that the commissioners undertake the work.
Very happily the whole board is agreeable t 6 the program for the
building of a courthouse. At a recent meeting the matter was thoroughly
discussed, and it is anticipated that the whole matter will take shape very
shortly and we can anticipate the building of a structure that will do credit
to the size, wealth and importance of this county.
The Sentinel hopes that the county will go about the building of this
structure on broad lines. It is not building merely for the present, but t'oi
the future. A building which will be insignificant and totally dispropor
tionate to the needs of this city and county in ten years hence would be a
waste of money. , , . , ,
The Sentinel had hopes that the city and county might be brought
together in the construction of a city and county building, lmt it hardly
anticipates that such an arrangement could be effected at the present Onte.
The city is in a topsv-turvv condition as regards its finances and any set
tled policy, and it would hardly pay the board to deal with the city under
these conditions, however desirable a courthouse jointly built by tne
Jand county would be. , ...
The Sentinel is thoroughly pleased, though, that the board ot <° un t>
commissioners have taken the first step in the plan to secure a great and
beautiful building feu this county.
It is vorv fortunate that there were from three to live hu ltd red I 1 ™!’ 1 ®
present at the ball game at Glenwood Springs Sunday from this city, Ea n
and every one of them will testify to the correctness and Justness of the
criticisms made by tills paper upon the umpire. The Avalanche calls fran
ttcally upon the ball fans of thiß city to squelch the editor or W*'
because he caught their umpire in his deliberate attempt to
game from the Grand Junction team. The Avalanche need not farm out
any proposition to squelch this editor. If it liaß any, fh , H
direction he can proceed at once: no objections will be raised Ir n ....
of the line The game has been undertaken many times; but we are sun
here doing business at the old stand Sometimes It Is a ratherengaßnK
and attractive art to see someone attempt to do you; but when the attempt
is made to steal a ball game with such deliberateness as accompanied th
one last Sunday, the undertaking loses Its attractiveness fron
ethical standpoint.
The question being asked by many taxpayers is. V\ ho is getting the
rake-off in the publication of the ordinances? The city is being robbed of
tight times the average cost of the publication of an ordinance. Someone
has ordered that this graft be permitted. The records are not at all un
certain as to the number of times an ordinance should be published. The>
have been published hut two times for a period of ten years or more. The
order to publish them ten times now is simply the perpetration of a grart
that, perhaps, is the beginning of more extensive ones later on. The coun
cil should be insistent in ascertaining who ordered this graft publication ol
ordinances. The matter is in the hands of the city attorney to determine.
!f he did not know, as he stated to the clerk he did not. he should have
been governed by the rule as it existed and which has been passed upon
by a half dozen of the efty’s best attorneys.
The Sentinel heartily applauds that sentiment which caused the fathers
and sons of the old Confederate states to refuse to accept, as a monument
to the women of ihe south, a figure of a militant woman, armed, belted and
waving a flag. Their ideas of Ideal womanhood have not reached the panta
loon stage yet. They desire to recall the mothers and women of the south
;.s the refined, bome-making. children-bearing. reserved and refined woman
hood that washed the wounds, comforted the sick and wounded, and peace
fully laid away the dying soldiers of the lost cause. Another figure than
the one that was selected by the sculptor will have to be presented for ac
ceptance than the one that was rejected.
The secrets of the Black Hand have been laid bare. The Sentinel
rejoices that the Black Hand and the blackmailer, first cousins of crime,
are to he battled against by the government. A little blackmailing scheme
was brought to the attention of The Sentinel a few days ago. We stated
that it was an occurrence of another town, but the same conditions might
exist here. That there is ample ground for a criminal prosecution The
Sentinel feels almost sure in the case cited. However, we have been
informed that there will he no further attempts to do the sort of black
mailing that was undertaken for the time being.
