IMMORALITY OF the average
voter is not an Issue in this 1960
campaign.

PLEDGES, REGARDLESS of the
uncanny logic which is applied to
them, are subject to natural re-
servations of the conscience, and f ¡f¡T«nc Tfi Mppf
in this instance, to the vagaries of ,U ,V,CCI

City Home Rule Charter
Called 'A Step Forward'
Tuesday On Home
the rewriting job being Rule Government
done oo the moral code this elec-
tion year would have you go to
any lengths to honor a pledge
which, at best, is vague when one
tries to make it binding upon top
candidates.
AND CONSIDERING the expedi-
ency, the backfires, the deal mak-
ing and flip-flops that went on
in higher circles, how come the
poor voter is the only one morally
bound one way or the other?
ROUNDABOUT FRANKLY is no
seer. He wouldn't tell you whether
or not you are violating your con-
science and therefore being im-
moral, regardless of which way
you vote.
HE IS SIMPLY against the me-
moranda out of Austin and any
other source which implies that
law or morals binds one at the
polls, and especially when the
moral contract has already been
broken at the other end. (The
time is not yet when the ruler can
lay down the moral rules for every
•ccasion.)
A community-wide meeting
to inform and to consider ques-
tions on the proposed Home
Hule charter for Rusk will be
held in the County Courtroom
next Tuesday evening, Novem-
ber 1. former mayor Marshall
Norton, chairman of tfie char-
ter commission announced.
One or more representatives
of the commission will appear
before interested citizens to
answer questions and to ex
plain any portion of the new
plan.
Norton urged a wide attend-
ance. saying that an under-
standing of the plan is necess-
ary to. first, its passage, and
secondly, its workability.
The meeting will begin at
7 30 Tuesday evening.

One of the framers of Husk's
home rule charter. Attorney Mal-
colm Guinn, Tuesday explained
salient portions of the proposed
city government change and asked
Rusk Kiwanis Club members to
support "a forward step for
Husk."
In one of the few public pre-
sentations on the new charter,
Guinn said that nearly every Tex-
as city of over 5,000 population
has home rule. In effect, he said,
the city adopts its own eonsti-J
tut ion instead of relying upon the
general laws of the State of Texas.
It means something for future
growth, and I join with other
members of the commission (Char-
ter Commission) in asking you to
vote for the charter on N'ovem
ber 5." he said at the noon lunch-
eon of the club.
Guinn explained the manager-
council type of government, in
which a full lime manager will be
given administrative duties. He
will select some officials and em-
ployees ol the city. Guinn said.
But the mayor and four council-
men will appoint the city judge,
city attorney and city health of-
ficer.
The councilinen will run for
places in elections. They must
