John Burns, the labor leader, was
the son of a workingman. He says Of
himself that he was raised on the streets
and educated in the factory. Now he is
perhaps the most influential member of
parliament Why do not American
worllingmen raise up John Burns
among them and send him to congress?
There is room in our big country and
our congress for half dozen such. The
only thing in the way is that there do
not appear to be any John Burnsas
among American workingmen.

in accord with any general plan or sys-
tenn. The commission plan has tenden-
cy to secure moro continuity of work
and more permanency of management,
yet at the same time the power of the
people to change the management when
ever there is good reason for a change, is
not curtailed in the least. 1t is made
more difficult to change from mere ca
price, or for political reasons. That is
all. With the new plan it is easier to
fix the responsibility for bad work or bad
management, because all the executive
responsibility rests on the commission,
and it cannot shift it, whereas, under
the old plan the street commissioner
could shift the responsibility on to the
street committee, and the latter on to the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen. But the
great argument for retaining the conf
mission is the fact that it has demon
strated it's superiority by doing more
work at less expenditure of money
than was ever accomplished under the
old plan. No man would, in the man
agement of his private business, reject
a method that had saved him money and
substitute one that had proved more ex-
pensive. There is no reason why men
should not be as careful of the public
business as of their own. Indeed, there
are plenty Of reasons why they
should be more SO. Their own money
they have the right to throw away
if they want to. They have no right to
squander other peoples money.
The Portland daily press., 1895-01-07

We understand that a movement is on
foot to repeal the constitutional amends
ment which forbids towns and cities to
borrow money in excess of five per cent
of their valuation. 1t ought not to sue
coed. That amendment is very wise
safeguard against extravaganza and reck-
less expenditure It is with the NUM-
cipality as with the individual. So long
as it is obliged to pay as it goes it is not
likely, or much less likely, to spend
money carelessly than when the day of
payment can be postponed by means
of an issue of bonds. The cities and
towns Of Maine are now, as rule, in
pretty good financial condition. Repeal
the five per cent limit, and they will
soos1 get out of it. All sorts of PROPOSE
!. lions will be made to them to help
this industry or this enterprise, and it
will be speciously argued that to do SO
will not increase the Taxpayers burdens
much, because the day of payment can
long be postponed, and d large part of
the burden can be saddled upon posteri-
ty. 1t was because of the growing reck-
lessness of towns in appropriating mon
ey that the five per cent limit was adopt
3D. The tendency to recklessness has
not been cured, it has only been re-
strained; and when this restraint is re-
moved it will manifest itself again. Let
the restraint remain.
The Portland daily press., 1895-01-07
THE STREET COMMISSION AGAIN.

We understand that one of the bject-
ions made-privately-to the Street
Commission is that it tends to
of the hands of the people.
Undoubtedly it does tend to take it out
of the hands of some people, and that
is one of its great merits. But that it
tends to take it out of the hands of the
people in general is a mistaken idea.
The Street Commission is not a commits
sion appointed by the State, like the
Biddeford police commission. This
commission is appointed by the Mayor,
who is elected by the whole people, sub
ject to the approval of the Board of AL
dermen, who are also elected by the
people. The superiority OF it over the
present plan is that both parties are rep
resented in it, and that there is always
an expert in it, namely, the city civil en-
gineer. There is little danger, therefore,
that politics will figure in its work, or
that il will be without a member famii-
lar with the science of road building.
Furthermore, as all three of the commits
SlOn6fS CdlUOU Do I0uiOfSu LII OuO JOdl,
there will always be some one on the
commission who is familiar with the
work that has been done and the work
planned. Under the old arrangement a
nan was frequently elected street COM
missioner who had little aptitude for
the. work, and little knowledge of it..
He started IN unfamiliar with what had
been done, and often times unfamiliar
also with the best methods. The very
next year, when he had acquired
enough knowledge to be valuable, he
was liable to be, and frequently was,
= turned out, and another man selected.
The result was that the street commits
sioner's Office became sort of school
to teach men road building at the public
expense. OF course asgood deal of money
was,wasted in the process, and much of
the work done was mere patchwork, not
