THE -PEOPLE ‘CAN BE ‘TRUSTED. It takes but_a few. minutes talk with Mayor Goodeve to discover that the views fegardings the waterworkr question. expreesed: by the morning pa- per are inspired byihim. ‘He holda thyt he and the council were elected to sottl ynunicipal ownership of water and light systems, and'that the people should not cbe further consulted. © He algo believer that the water and Jight company is no! too. good. to corrupt. the people at the polls, and thatthe people are: not incor- ruptible. The Reconp takes issue witl: his lordehip in that we believe the peo- ple are, entitled to say for themgelver whether ,they,[prefer.to buy the. present system or put in anew one, and in doing so we believe that we are voicing the sentiment of the ratepayers. The Ruc- oxD resents the imputation that the realestate owners of Ruseland are not capable of judging for themselves what they want;'and that there is any danger ofthem being bribed into doing what is mot to their best interests. Such talk by -the,mayor.and.some of the councilmen and'thepublication of such ideasis 1 gross'innult to every citizen“of ‘Rogslanc ‘and we believe it will be resented at th polls if the ratepayers sre asked to vot: $150,000 to be epent by.the.city council without farther.consulting the wishes of the ravepaye: : _—— *-Richard Plewman declines to adver- tise in the Reconp hecaure it persiste in . “playing horge”.with the morning .pa- per. ; If-he does not look out :the stock- tholdarsiin‘the 0.
