8 L. WOODHoUsE CRITICISEs THE GREATER

Sylvester L. woodhouse has given The Tribune
his views on the Greater New-York Commission

the way in which the charter has been prepared.
is shown in these words
The chief defect In the charter is that IL is drawn
along partisan lines: the theory of the Commits
sion seems 10 have been that politics will neces-
sarily control. That puts the charter Immediately
upon the defensive, and assures structural weak
ness at the start In Europe the highest quality
trolling passion: ofice-holding is distinguished
honor. and penalty attaches to him who declines
to serve. Here we are in the hands of the spos.
man; civic pride. in comparison with that or
Europe. is wholly unknown. and those who are
least fitted for public service intrusted with
vast and vital interests; should wonder that
the results attained are so widely different? For
twenty-five years everybody but the spokesman has
preached the doctrine that cities are great busi-
principles; that State and National politics have
no right in the government Of cities. Brooklyn's
and our State Constitution as recently amended.
also bears testimony TO the progress We have made
in that direction Now charter, drawn upon
partisan lines. said TO contain over seven hundred
pages. confronts u.s. / cannot conceive greater
audacity. The building Of charter for the gov
ernment Of this vast empire calls for the highest
quality Of craftsmanship and patriotism In process
Of construction ample discussion should be invited
from the people. 1t Is rare opportunity which
tricate problems Of city government and for the
perfecting Of charter.
II we must have charter that is drawn along
party lines let discussion demonstrate that un-
der forms Of government 1t Is a necessity
not a choice. have only words of commendation
sioners have performed their arduous labors. but
the transaction is too momentous, and Its cons@-
quences too vital, to warrant belief that any set
work in the few weeks allotted this Com
mission: besides the discussion of the last two
nosed charter and the Commissioners also seem
grateful for the criticism of their work.
