CUT OUT POLITICS

which some see fit to term it, but
like all of that caste. he sees no hope
for the movement until politics Is
eliminated from the management of
city enterprises, and they are con-
Quoted on a business basis.
The mayor is in favor, heartily in
favor, of the city owning its own
electric plant, but appreciates the
palpable fact that it has made a sad
failure out of the one it has
"Too much politics has caused us
trouble with this plant" he admitted
to a Sun representative today.
"When first came into Office | had
trouble at the light plant from that
very same source, and | suspect we
always shall. | believe firmly, how
ever, If politics can be cut out the
city can run its plant as cheaply and
keep it to as high a standard of eff
cheney as a private corporation.
But, like elsewhere, this city
has never done that, and probably
never will. 'Why?" some ask. Let
them study city government and
they will readily find their answer.
They will find also the answer to
many questions one hears asked on
all sides every day. Answers we all
know, but none tell. Answers, how
