The most dongerous form of sobotoge is inside work, under
cover, owoy from the public eye. No more effectuol form
of &@botoge could exist thon the politico! wrecking of o vol-uoble
public property, for the sake of political expediency.
Stocking the payroll with unnecessary employees; raising
salaries of political favorites while the old, faithful employee
who does the real work, goes unrewarded; all employees made
to kick in a part of their earnings for political campaign
funds; an almost complete lack of knowledge of the problems
of the power plant; generation and distribution, on the part
of officials elected by tb? people to dp the job.

All of the figures quoted in the Home Rule
Party ad in last week's Leader, and reprinted
here, were taken from multigraphed reports,
signed by George E. Barrett for the Village and
given to at least three citizens of this village
monthly. For accuracy's sake these figures
weTe verified with Mr. Barrett, by George W.
Goeller on Tuesday, March 2nd. If the fig-res
are inaccurate as Economy Party claim,
then they should rectify their system of book-keeping,
or ot leost get together on thir own
figures. Goodness knows there is enough help
inlhe department to produce any kind of a

the Business way would be not
to jump at conclusions. Many of
our employees have lived through

are some jobs now thought to
be unnecessary which will, in all
probability be eliminated, in

of the Home Rule Party.
