aro complaining because tho tile monc money that was raised at nt tho the baseball baseball base base- ball game between tho the police and fireman last year ear ha has not been aCcounted accounted ac ac- aC- aC counted for tor or and nd that It Jt has haa really not been used for fOI the tho purpose In Intended intended In- In tended at th tile tho time tho game was us usI I played tl By fly a 3 division of or the pro pro- coeds of that game gam It la li claimed h by bythe bythe the firemen that they are arc entitled to about OO ant and tho the mone mooney money was given to tho the committee In charge Th ThA chief chic complaint of or tho the firemen Is that the tho money mone was wa not used for 01 forthe forthe the proper purpose and that In fact the firemen had no benefits whatever r from It fl Some of thorn thom charge chargo that the tho mone money went Into tho tIm American campaign treasury treasur and anti If it that were true we would Instantly Jump to tho defense dorn o of the committee on the ground that an any monc money raised by y em em- of ot a department of oC tho city government belongs naturally to that thit committee But Dut the American campaign campaign campaign cam cam- committee insists that tho the money mon mon- mon mon-I 43 ey Cr was not turned into tho campaign fund as a part of ot tho the expense mono money and that it has never nover been accounted for or While tho the firemen Ina may have havo a a. suspicion suspicion sus sus- as to the disposition of or that monc money It would be best to let tho the matter drop It Is IR recalled that one of ot tho the charges made h by tho the American party fellows s 's against the Mormon church Is that that Institution made maria madeno mariano no accounting of oC the tithes received b by it H It and for Cor that reason solely It Jt ItIs itis Is a 3 graft pure and simple May wo we not look upon the tho receipt of ot money from Crom civic ball games etc in the thc same gamo humanitarian spirit It Is further recalled that 10 cr cent of tho the earnings i of ot tho the city em em- plo es has been diverted Into campaign campaign campaign cam cam- funds each year ear but that lh thc tho committee which received the money monc made nade absolutely no accounting after arter spending the monc money tor for an any old purpose pur- pur pose so o long as it came under tho the lead head of or good of the party part The firemen paid their tithing to to the th American campaign fund and then thoy hoy played a ball game with the cops and the proceeds of ot this either wont went Into nto the same tamo fund or didn't it didn't-it it makes no difference which But it Jt comes with bad grace for the firemen to grow petulant over the matter and complain that they have received neither benefit nor account- account tag Ing ng It really shouldn't be expected of the committee or of tho the head of r ho tho department Tho The Americans teach that hat tho the church should make an accounting accounting ac- ac counting but the they dont don't teach that the ho inner circle should do likewise likewise- so 0 there you ou are Raymond Robbins Bobbins of or somewhere In Inthe inthe
