BARTHOLOMEW NEW HEAD OF CITY_COUNOIL ‘Good and Few Ordinances in 1928’ Is Program of President. “Good and few ordinances in 1928” is the program of Otis E. Bartholomew, newly elected council president, who presided at his first meeting Monday night. Bartholomew announced he was not interested “in how many ordinances are passed during his term,” but in the quality of legislation and its enforcement. Bartholomew, South Side Republican, was elected on the first ballot by Councilmen Boynton J. Moore, Republican, M. W. Ferguson, Edward B. Raub and Robert E. Springsteen, Democrats, and himself. He was one of the Republican members who voted with the three Democrats to elect Mayor L. Ert Slack, Democrat. Election Is Quiet Compared with previous years, the election was quiet, voting being by open ballot. O. Ray Albertson, Republican, nominated Raub, who declined to serve. Walter R. Dorsett, elected president pro tern, on the third ballot, voted for himself for president, and Austin H. Todd and retiring President Claude E. Negley voted for Todd. Raub and Springsteen first voted for Ferguson and later changed to Bartholomew. The only heated arguments came when Raub introduced a resolution to abolish the positions of Sergeant-at-arms, held by Claude C. McCoy, and secretary of committees, held by Miss Jane Axtell. Moore objected to the measure and asked reconsideration. He withdrew his request for reconsideration when Raub threatened to reconsider the election of a president. McCoy and Miss 'Axteli received SBOO a year. Raub asked abolishment as an economy measure. Bartholomew, one of the six indicted councilmen, has been an active member of the majority faction, known as the “four horsemen.” An ordinance authorizing a temporary loan of $600,000 to meet the city’s pay roll until tax money is received in May, was introduced. The council received an ordinance to appropriate $25,834, remainder of the gasoline tax fund, to the street repairing department.

Democrats indiscriminately of course have no scruples in deceiving the farmer,” Myers said. Comes to Farmers’ Defense “The politicians have given artificial aid to every other kind of business, but they have given the farmer lothing but a chance to mortgage his farm and go further in debt. They double his taxes and then offer to loan him money for a mortgage. If the present state continues, the farmer will be reduced to mortgaged peasantry. “If it is right to give artificial aid to other business, it is right to give it to the farmer.” Myers attacked burdensome business taxes and a multiplicity of laws.
