, city engineer, as chief of the fire de-
partment and in" other bureaus even
under republican councils Neverthe-
less the caucus system prevails and
there is seldom an open vote on the
floor of the council to fill an executive
position.
The idea that republican or demo-
cratic politics should cut any figure in
a vote in the city council is dying out
to some extent. But it cannot be en-
tlrely ,eradicated; If one should can
at any election and ask them what was
their. real platform, nine out of ten
would say that he was for a business
administration of the city's affairs.
How many Of them know what a bust
ness administration means or would
have the courage to stand for it if they
had the chaneef To be a business
alderman means to conduct the affairs
OF the city with the same regard to the
financial results that man would be-
stow on q private enterprise in which
business man will not willingly give
away his money unless he sees that it
will come back with q profit. The
alderman will sometimes vote away the
city 8 money because it will help him
politically or 1t will aid him to get
thru something in which he is specially
interested. The committees on fire de-
partm ent,sk elaine, gas, health, water
works and Others are considerably be-
sieged with implications which mean
here or there a small loss to the treas
ury 3. !. .@*>.. Z. e. =,
The business alderman, to Justify his
platform, to be consistent, must turn
all these things down. But aldermen
are human. 1t takes a steady nerve,
to be always saying "NoV when
HYes' would come easier. The tend
ency is to logroll, to play off one vote
for another, for every alderman has
some pet scheme on which he hopes to
make his record. The more publicity
there is of the acts of an alderman the
more the straight alderman will be
justified by public opinion. q
AS a School Of Citizenship. .
The council is capable Of becoming a
magnificent school Of citizenship. It
is not body which demands long ap-
prenticeshi as does the congress of the
United States. The new man in few
months is practically on level with
the old hand. and he has the advan-
tage Of bringing in new ideas and new
methods. Changes in the council are
not bad for the city. They are ad-
vantages If they are made judiciously.
But unfortunately it is too often the
fellow who plays to the galleries who
survives and it is the business alder
man who loses his constituency. =.
