An Independent Newspaper recounts a political campaign dispute about editorial influence. It questions why Examiner publisher configuration shifts loyalties and argues for clear election coverage. The piece defends press integrity and urges holding officials accountable without dodging issues.
The Examiner plots a personal attack on publisher and seeks to expose past city administration details. The Standard counters by threatening to name individuals in a campaign while the Examiner says it will dig up denials and records from the last precommission government era. Two current commissioners, T Sam Browning and China Fiygare, served then, raising estoppel questions.
Rumors swirl about city officer races as ten to twenty names circulate. Two prominent businessmen pledge a mayoral candidate but refuse to name him pending consent. Parties foresee a lively convention with bets on resolutions and potential no nominations on the first ballot. Citizens’ choices next Monday could shape the fall election.
An article outlines a dramatic public backlash over a San Francisco street railway franchise, alleging a plan to extend the concession through bribery and court action as officials grapple with opposition to extending franchises. The piece frames a pivotal city political clash and the public reaction.
A heated campaign against municipal franchises exposes alleged bribery and coercion by city officials and powerful interests. Investigations target mayor and supervisors as contracts hint at transfers of value to gain favorable outcomes and public trust erodes amid disclosures of covert deals and loyalty pledges.
The Standard cites J. Drummitt v. Ogden Water Works to explain taxpayer rights to challenge municipal waste of funds and unauthorised acts. Taxpayers may sue for relief against unreasonable rates or unjust charges when no statute designates a specific officer to sue.
The article discusses Utah and Ogden water and electricity franchises, court limits on rate setting, and potential city actions. It notes the Supreme Court's stance on not allowing blanket rate agreements, potential public commission reforms, and concerns over monopoly and municipal power. It also covers national echoes on conscription and labor disputes impacting public policy and politics.
