Beware Of the Gal
weston Scheme.

A few people of our city have
joined together to install upon the
citizens of Des Moines what is
known as the Galveston scheme
of municipal governing of our
city by a commission of four aud
a Mayor to take charge of our
entire city, employ all help and
do away with all city officers and
our city council which is our law
making power. We look upon
this scheme as being dangerous
to the welfare of the people. 1t
certainly is not so good as our
present faulty system. First be.
cause this commission scheme
centeralize the power into the
hands of three or four men in
stead of 16 or 20 men as it is now.
Certainly it would be much easier
for corporations to buy or control
three men than Is men. Then
again it destroys our equal repre-
sentation in city affairs. Thirdly
it destroys the very life and inter.
est of a republican form of gov
ernment. Then again, are not
all the people better able to
govern or know what they want
than three men? Every intrus-
ion on the Individual right is
step toward monarchy. Then
again no city has ever tried to be
governed this way successfully
the size of Des Moines. Calves
ton and Houston, Texas are
southern cities and conditions are
not similar there to ours.

respect of the world.
The first is Abraham Lincoln,
