The Mandan Pioneer takes it philo-
sophically. In speaking Of the scrap
over the state fair proposition, It says

Richardton is on the main line OF
the Northern Pacific railroad, 90 miles
west of Bismarck and about Is miles
east Of Dickinson. It is the gateway to
the new counties, Hettinger and
Adams, just organized.
In 1888 the Hamburg American
Steamship company, seeing the great,
but undeveloped, opportunities Of west
ern North Dakota and desiring to ben
eft thereby, organized company for
the general development of the coun-
try on large scale. They thought
that by colonizing the country they
could make much money from their
transported of the people and also
make money in selling lands and build
ing towns and engaging In a general
commercial business.
In order the better to carry out their
plans they organized what was known
as the 81 e.
Richardton Land and Improvement
Company.
This company was named in honor
of G. B. Richards, one Of the principal
owners of the stock of the steamship
company and very able and inf1uen.
tial citizen of New York.
This improvement company laid out
and named the town of Richardton
and planned a commercial career that
had it been fully carried out would
have been one Of the greatest builders
of the great northwest But the fact
that a plan laid on large scale some:
times niscarried and failed as to its
ultimate conclusions was not proof
that the ideas were not good ones nor

THE COMMISSION SYSTEM.

The passage in several state 1egisla-
lures Of the measure providing for the.
commission system of city government
and the marked success Of the system
where it is in vogue leads to discus
sion of this subject and the agitation
Of its adoption generally Last win,
ter the North Dakota legislature
passed the measure, as did South Da-
kota, Iowa and Kansas. 1t is believed
that under the system cities could and
would be run on business basis and
that many Of the evils now expert
enced would disappear. The Pioneer
Press of Tuesday contains the follow.
ing leading editorial on the subject, in
which attention is called to Mr.. Has
kell's article in the Outlook for April
and comments of the editor thereon:
The recognition embodied in the
Galveston idea, Of the fact that the
interests of democracy are not served
by applying to municipalities the same
principles of administration that are
applied to the government Of the ma
ton at large or of the states, is
spreading. The management Of cities
! is att last seen TO be what # really is,
a business rather than a governmental
function. Given a few general state
laws defining the powers of municipal
boards of directors, and these, added
! to the body OF state and federal laws,
will amply protect the citizen in every
right; while such a board, running a
city as a bank or railroad corporation
is run, will demonstrably secure for
him better and cheaper service than
is possible where purely business mat
Z tiers are made the football Of political
parties, with just as much liberty.
1--WE say .demonstrably, not only be
cause such results may be figured out
as theoretically probable but because
city after city has demonstrated, In
actual practice, the superiority of a
board, or business, over political,
administration. First Memphis, then
Washington, then Galveston and Hous.
ton tried 1t. Memphis found 1t sue.
cessful beyond anticipation, but the
politicians who had lost their jobs
compelled. after several years, a re.
turn to political administration. The
city is, however, planning an early re.
turn to the board plan. Washington,
under q board Of three directors, has
achieved the reputation OF being the
best governed city ii the United
States. The story Of how Galveston
was lifted from utter physical and
financial wreck. rebuilt and made q
prosperous and superlatively orderly
city, BIZ the work Of an appointive
board, Is i familiar one Houston had
experienced no calamity like the Gal
weston food. but the superiority Of the
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1907-04-21

Galveston plan so impressed itself on
the citizens that they secured iegisla-
tive authority to adopt it. In the Out
look for April Is, III. J, Haskell gives
some "details showing the immense adj
vantage of board administration as
seen in Houston, over the plan of a
city government copied from that of.
the nation, with its crowd of unneces-
sary officials and its wide opportuni-
ties for corruption. In both Houston
and Galveston the boards of directors
are now elected by the people but as
they are elected by general ticket,
from among the best men of the city,
there has as yet been no instance of
an unfit choice, With the responsible
fly for all the affairs of the city resting
upon them, and an excellent chance for
distinguished service, in addition to
the receipt by each Of a reasonable
salary, the mayor and four directors
of Houston are making just such a
record as has distinguished the boards
Of Washing ton, Memphis and Calves
ton.
The legislatures of Iowa, Kansas
and South Dakota have Just passed a
law authorizing the adoption Of SINH
lar plans BY cities in those states.
Bills of like purport have been intro
duced in seyral other legislatures. 1t
seems very probable that the idea will
work its way at last, as did the Austria
liam ballot, over all portions of the
country not hopelessly given over to
demagogy and corrupt politics.
Commenting upon Mr.. Haske1Ps ar
ticle, Editor Lyman Abbott of the Out
look gives his unqualified endorsement
to the new idea, and says:
America has made a mistake in
organizing its city governments upon
the model presented by the federal
and state governments. It has been
assumed that city government must
possess the three departments legis.
ilative, executive and judicial; that in
the legislative department there must
be local representation. !. u
In fact there is no analogy at all be
tween the city and the nation. There
| is no occasion for local representation
in city government. The interest Of
one ward does not differ from that oil
1any other ward as the interest of one
state differs from that Of another state
or as the interest of one county differs
from that of another county. The laws
for the city are made by the legisla
ture of the state. " The work
of a so-called city government is moi
primarily governing; certinly not pri
marty political. ss. All boards oil
aldermen and councilmen should be
abolished; all idea of elaborate legis
lative functions to be performed
should be abandoned. A board of di
rectors Of the city should be elected
as there is elected a board of directors
for bank or a railway corporation
and to this board the entire
administration of the city's business
should be intrusted. z

The library in particular is to be a

plans for the same were drawn by a

trouble to the Grand Forks builders.
IT is stated that the plans are in
such shape that local bidding was

The state fair case will come up be-
fore the supreme court next Tuesday;
The legal talent engaged by the fair,
associations Of the two cities will pre-
sent the various features Of the case,
the Fargo association arguing that the
Grand Forks people have failed to COM
ply with the law and the Grand Forks
people urging that the objection to-
their participation in the benefits Of
the law is merely technical and in
spired by a desire to benefit from the
entire appropriation on behalf Of Far:
go. It has long been agreed that the.
state fair ought not to be on wheels
that it should be located at one town
or another instead of being divided up
Possibly the supreme court may clear
the way for a settlement Of the mat
ter, or it may be left for future leg
islature to fight out. Editor Hager of
the st. Thomas Times thinks the fair
ought to go to Fargo, even though he
is "a resident OF community ordinar-
l lily supposed to be tributary to Grand
Forks. However, the matter may be
decided, the Grand Forks fellows have
pluck and energy enough to give a
good annual fair, with or without state
aid.
