cipal or otherwise, depends upon the
men whom you have to conduct It
The fault is not altogether In the plan
of government, but In the administra-
tion Of II, The Des Moines plan will
not warrant any better men to conduct
the affairs OF the city than does the
present form. II the Des Moines plan
Is inaugurated In the state OF Utah
you Will have just such men in office
then as you have now. And. l think,
that under the present form OF NUM-
cipal government we are getting as
good service as we deserve and surely
as good service as we will under some
other system?' He said he consider
ed the Des Moines idea of government
as a fad, enforcing this Idea by stat
ing that 1t is always an easy matter to
advance theories" but that 1t Is an
other thing to make them bring re-
suits. He looked upon the Des Molnes
plan Of government rs yet matter OF
speculation and a very hazardous spec
ulation at that, from the fact, as he
stated. that the plan had been in oper-
alton for only about year and that
there is now pending In the Iowa legis-
lature bill which proposes radical
changes In the system Mr. Meyer
stated that the Des Moines people got
their inspiration from the Galveston
Idea" of municipal government, but
that they modified the Galveston plan
for the city of Des Moines until the
system Of government in the latter
city Is not much like the one In vogue
In the former.
The speaker enforced the idea that
even the state of Iowa and. all her
cities are laboring under much differ
ent conditions than those that prevail
in this western country. That while
the western country is but yet sparse
ly settled, Iowa IL densely populated,
and the people there are thoroughly
conyersant with all the details OF gov
ernment. land yet" he said. with
all the boasted qualities of merit In the
Des Moines plan Of government there
ie but one other city in the state that
has adopted It."
a letter was read from q Mr.. De
Witt, who 10 member of the Iowa
legislature. which read that the Des
Moines plan Is not success. In his
letter Mi De Witt said: III the
Des Moines government was worse
than 1t Is now. 1t must
have been in very bad condition.
Mr, Meyer contended that the Des
Mofnes plan of government, IL contin-
ued for any great length of time,
would create political factions that
would be far more damaging than
those that prevail under the present
regulations In city matters. He said
that the new idea made most Offices in
the cities appointive and that as a
rule men appointed to Office are much
more dangerous than those who are
elected to their positions and that tho
Des Moines plan. II put into practice
and continued for any great length of
time, would lead to the building of
nest for political manipulators much
more treacherous and dangerous than
any ever before seen in the state. He
said that 1t would virtually make the

government OF cities a prey for few
men who once IN power, could through
their appointive power. carrying with
it the emolument OF office, hold almost
undisputed sway and control the city
at will.
In speaking Of the idea of Initiative
and referendum" and the power OF
recall" for which the advocates of
the new Idea claim so much praise for
the system the speaker said that un-
der that form Of government the time
of the government officials and the
people would be occupied most Of the
time In Initiative, referendum and
recall and that the affairs of the city
government would be set aside He
thought that men elected TO Office un-
der the proposed new order of things
would not act. t.tmore conscientious in
the discharge of their duties, and that
the new plan Is stepping aside from
the fundamental principal of our gov
ernment, which he considered a very
dangerous step to take. He stated
that the city OF Washington, d. c.. Is
under the commission rule and that
within the last few years 1t had re-
Gently been disclosed that Shepherd,
of that city. had robbed the people of
SIS. 100000. He also spoke Of the dan
gers to be encountered in bunch"
of men who had control Of public pat
ronage by virtue Of their appointive
power or their particular opportunities
to offer government places for politi-
cal services rendered. he referring par
iiOulorl,y IN what no termed the fed
eral bunch" of Utah. He made the
statement that some Of those men had
held office for is years and that 1t is
now almost impossible to get them
out, while If their Offices were elective,
the people would remove them at the
first election.
1t was rather a late hour before
the arguments were concluded and the
league took no official action on the
question.

The Ogden Civic League held open
house at the city hall last night, but
owing to the fact, no doubt, that the
meeting had not been thoroughly ad-
sertlsed. there were not many present
who were not members OF the league.

time ago, to study the new form of
municipal government.
Mr. Stevens began his discussion Of
the question by briefly referring to
ancient history regarding city govern
ments. comparing the old with the
new. He said that the present form
which Is In vogue in most OF the cities
of the nation, Is what is termed the
legislative form Of government and
that the greatest objection to 1t is
that 1t Is system of routine that is
altogether too long and irresponsive In
handling the matters that usually are
Of 30 much Importance 10 the people

And all the futures hope.

To link all lands as ono

As does the kindly sun.
So call on liberty's sweet name
And lift Old Glory high;
With sound and flame give glad se-
