TWO TYPES OF PROXIES.

EX-City Commissioner Jos. Hugill
says that when politics was dragged
into the management of the Beard of
City Commissioners the usefulness
of the Board was greatly impaired;
/ might say-destroyed."
Every citizen of Akron who takes
any interest in the city's affairs
will agree with Mr.. Hugill in this,
for he has been in position that quail
ifies him to speak with authority
1t is a well known fact that not
until Judge Anderson succeeded
Judge Stuart TO the appointing
power several years ago was parti-
sanism injected into the affairs of
the Board. Under the Judge Stuart
regime no. attempt was made by
either branch of the appointing
power TO control the official acts of
the City Commissioners. The Com
missioners enjoyed the full measure
of independence of action intended
TO be conferred upon them by law.
But with the adventof Judge Ander-
son came the proxy system. which
has been so evolved and strength
ened under his Administration that
today it is folly for any Republican
to aspire to a place upon the Board
unless he consent TO become the tool
'.-.nd chattel of the appointing power
Perhaps Judge Anderson has
sought to exercise this arbitrary and
unwarranted power not so much
from il motive of selfishness as from
desire to serve the politicians of
the local Republican Machine. or
the corporate interests with whom
these politicians are under contract
to deliver valuable privileges at the
expense of the people. But the bald
fact remains that government by the
Probate Judge exists, and if the
people do not take radical steps to
overcome it at the next session of
the legislature, they must continue
to be wholly without the right of
control in their local affairs
The friends of Judge Anderson
have attempted no denial of the
charge that he has meddIed without
authority in the affairs of the Board
of Commissioners, but have sought
to break the force Of the accusation
with the counter charge that Mayor
Young is equally at fault.
This is merely evading the ques-
ton. Granting that Mayor Young
