RAILROAD HISTORY REPEATS

dates which belonged at the head
thereof. Thus, it will be observed,
neither political party could be charg-
ed with all the disloyal citizens in its
ranks The influence of the railroad
company was strong: it's demands were
imperious; its promises were aluring,
and, alas, its threats we're too often
beyond resistance.
There was only one way left which
gave even a promise of successfully
competing with the railroad S plan of
campaign, and that was direct appeal
to the honesty the candor and the pa
triotism of the people. tAnd right
here let me say that if you have good
cause and present it plainly ard fairly
before the average American voter,
you can surely look for a satisfactory
response in the ballot box.)
On the part of the people, there were
no campaign funds. Their struggle
was desperate one, and their hopes OF
success were faint, yet their courage
was unquestiOned. Their reliance was

Chapter No, I

T. w Iat Is the cost OF the new SyS-
TEN compared with the old?
What are the principal criticisms
and what changes are proposed?
g-Wh@t do the business men of Des
Moin9S think about it?
The Des Mones plan was born of
trouolouS times. 1t was conceived
while good citizens were desperate in
their determination to create a new
form OF government, and it came into
existence only after painful labor to
secure its adoption.
Des Moines was governed by the old
system generally in vogue, with couu-
Gil of nine members, one of each seven
wards and two elected at large, with a
mayor, city treasurer, auditor. solicit
tor, engineer and other officials also
elected at large. In addition there
is board of public works, a board of
library trustees, a park board and fire
commission dividing responsibility and
redlviding it, and complicating it until
at last citizen with business to trans
act did not know which way to turn to
secure what he rightly asked.
RULE OF POLITICIANS.
This system through its ward cleo
ton OF councilmen and the domination
OF political party machinery, fell into
the hands of politicians years ago. Then
began the rule of the politician, gradu-
ally growing worse as the city grew
larger Merit and efficiency were
abandoned in the selection of candil
dates for city office md likewise in the
making OF appointments. Men of small
caliber, men who were Incompetent,
men who were corrupt and used the
city for their personal gain, came into
power. Now and then good men were
elected, but they were always hopeless
ly in the minority: they soon learned
that they could not bring a bout reform
and usually they quit trying. Spas
modicaly mass meetings were held just
before election time, indie pendent tick
cts were pledged to good government
were put in the field, but invariably
these movements were defeated be-
cause the politicians, with their large
appointing power, with their distribu-
zion of public works and public con-
tracts, with sheir hold on party machin.
cay, and, their contributions of money
from favored corporations were too
strong and too smooth to be beaten in
this way.
The result OF it all was ineilciency.
extravaganza and worse in the admin.
istration of city affairs.
An EXA MPLE.
It was impossible to secure prompt
public work. To illustrate: Fourth
Street, main thoroughfare leading
from principal depot to the hotel dis
trict was ordered paved in August,
1903, after property owners had petit
toned repeatedly for the improvement.
Not until the next June, 1906, was the
work finally ordered, the petitions and
resolutions having laid in committee
pigeon holes all the time, and then it
was discovered that the resolutions
were grossly defective. The council
started anew, prodded by business men
there were defects in this new set OF
resolutions, and a third start was made
which finally eliminated in the actual
paving of the street in the winter with
asphalt, about two years after the
The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1908-12-10

movement for paving started. In the
meantime asphalt prices went up and
| the assessment that was to cost origi-
nally 5000 was taxed up at $40. When
the paving was in, the city council
discovered that it had not put in new
curbing first, and it ordered the paving
cut out and new curbing erected at a
large additional expense.
There were scores Of transactions
just like this. Paving was jockey ed
for one reason or another, usually
through ineiliciency, sometimes for
motive suspected to concern favored
paving contractors.
a BRIDGE DEAL
The building of the Sixth avenue
bridge affords another illustration of
what Des Moines suffered: A dozen or
more years ago the people demanded a
new bridge over the Des Mones river
on principal thoroughfare, Sixth ave-
nue.. After five years of agitation, the
city council acted and in January, 1900
asked for bids and the board of public
works let a contract for a Melan arch
structure for $40 900. Contractors and
others interested spoiled this trans
action and still another set Of bids was
asked for under a different plan. In
December 1901 the contracts were
finally signed for $74, 800. Work was
declared, the contract was not enforced.
For five years the matter dragged along
with little progress: then a law suit
developed which cost the city about
$l2, 600 for damage due to defective
plans and tests for foundations. One
contractor failed and the city had to
hire new one at IL loss. Finally, in
1907, the bridge was completed as per
specifications at a cost of nearly sl30,-
90 instead of IA, 5000 first contracted
for, but worse STILL the public awoke
to the fact that the bridge stood in mid
stream, high and dry, without APP
proaches, unusable and unused after
seven years work. More, the bridge
at one end did not lead to public ground
but butted up against private pr0pcrty.
More appropriations were necessai y.
and now the bridge is finally in at a
cost Of approximately Sl66 600,
Other bridges were built in the same
way and with the same delays due to
ineiiciency or worse. y great tve-mile
sewer Job was let to "A responsible con-
tractor for % cents per foot. He ran
into rock, begged to be released, then
threatened, and finally was given his
release. \ new contract was let for
LA per foot, the rock gave out and
the sewer diggers were in soft dirt
again. This second contractor made a
fortune out Of the contract. Ten years
or so ago a city library was started. 1t
i, only barely finished. Instead Of cost
ing the original $lj0,000 or 100000
Estimated, it has cost 800 900. The
state of Iowa built historical building
in Des Moines that is nearly twice as
large for only $780, Great sums
we're wasted in incidentas in paving
and grading the sewer Jobs. In one
case it cost the taxpayer, so. II to get
S24 96 worth of work done in filing IL
lot, the incidentals amounting to $50
and mere; in another job it cost 1924
ia incidentals to supervise the doing of
grading work that actually cost only
1892.
