Show WHY JI TIlE THE CITY SERVICE SEIt IS BAD llAD Men Ien of oC Judgment long ago agreed that tho the present city efty officials are arc totally incompetent that th they are arc ren rezi- and bad service to the public that th they nr ar arcK costly and Insolent to tho public and that the tho neither know JatO how to do tho the work that has been t to them nor do the they care caro whether It Is done This Is tho the general knowledge of ot tho the men who pay th LIlIs bills the business men who J know ow whether the public pub lic affairs affaire are aro well welt or poor poorly done I There Is a n reason It Is la found In tho the tact fact that elt city es at pree present nt did not get Iet and do not not hold th their lr places because o of merit or fitness for tor tho the tru trust t confided to them but because the they are arc working forces forcee in the tho I American J party The Tho little Dininny made all that clear in his recent tirades agaInst t a minor of oC tao tio city 4 engineers engineer's office ollice who had not voted tho the American Uck ticket t and against a policeman whoso whose to tho the policy polio of cf r addition division islon and silence tho the potty petty attorney doubted When hen city employee find they are arc strong tron on nor nc- nc r i count u t ot of their political services when tho they fin l their p I for ar r a n partisan chief f Is la nil all they thoy need they will int In- In t- t become careless In In the tho Io y discharge of or duheY duey du- du They heY ey w will- will become In Insolent They Tho- will C equa ull I uto sto a mental montal attitude which makes them rd J I or l c J 1 1 i ii t f as Wf under obligation to the heads ur of their party part and not nt at nil under obligation to the tho public which pays parR them and for l ho whose service thoy ar are employed That makes lis bad II public III II 1 I is IhO first hilt first t but the certain st step certain stop p toward tit if t o Iee First the they become Indifferent and then th they purposely wrong They take tako liberties s with the tha time Limo of or orthe the public and It Is an nn easy transition to taking liberties liber hiber- r- r ties tle with tho the money of tho the public What hat do o the they care caro Didn't thc they work vork for the American Amer Amor- ican ticket Didn't the they get ct out the tho votes

because they are necessary ar to n th the tho Uon tion And when a n property owner complains thc they can cnn make mako sufficient defense h by calling caJUnS him Urn nn an enemy to the American party an any wa way That will C excuse them before the leaders of or the tho party and party and that 13 Is tue tho only authority they recognize I The little believes that cv evry ry r man who didn't work for the success of or the American ticket should be 10 thrown out of oC tho the public employment In tho the city With few rew exceptions that rule has hns been adopted AJ Aid d you oU can see the effects of tho policy In a shockingly bv bi n administration of f tho the p peoples people's business ulness Ills His declared Idea Is that lint when there Is a vacancy n the tho appointing power should hunt for a member of or tho the American party part the tho tho one with control over the tho gr grates number of or votes preferably above o all others He lie doesn't care a a. whit whether r or not the lie new now man knows anything about the I special work to be bo done one All ho demands and all his party demands Is that the place bo be filled by some one who has been useful to the party palt In the lie t pt an and who will bo be useful to it In tho ho future And An Anthe the result of oC that policy Is shown in repeated appropriations of ot money to hire export expert bookkeepers to go over the accounts and see what has been dono done b by the themen themen themen men who vote voted right but hut who dont don't know how to dothe do dothe dothe the work for which they fire arc getting paid paltI The Tue American part party is beating Itself It promised the people a n good administration nn and it has not g given cn that sort of administration at all aJl It H promised reforms and the these o have not been forthcoming It promised fair tall fairdealing fairdealing dealing between man an and man an and It has consistently trampled on the tho rights of such members of the community com corn as dl did not vote vole for COl the ticket now In office Tho They do o not riot regard es themselves as under obligation to do O an any anything thing even tiling even when tho ho plainest duty demands eman s it it for for a citizen who Is not also a a. member of the party In power It Is a bad ball policy and it will not be lie oed C by the sensible men and women of oC Salt Lake Lale Never were the lie departments so managed as nt ot present Never have havo the city finances been In so aha shabby y a shape Never have the affairs of the lie cH city been so bungled bungle And never nevel has hns there thero been so expensive a Do lot Jot of or public asare as asara asaro are aro now mismanaging the city's affairs And so long as Jo loyalty alty to the American party part Is considered sufficient title tithe to office and sufficient excuse for Cor or thero will be no Improvement |
