THE COMMISSION SYSTEM.

BY substantial majority the commits
sion system of governing cities has been
adopted by the voters of Bismarck. This
change is somewhat radical, but not so
much so as is generally supposed. Under
the commission system FIVE men elected
at largely the voters of the whole city,
regardless of wards ~ will be placed III
charge of the city's affairs, one OF whom
will act as president of the commission.
These men will be under bonds for the
faithful performance of their duties, and
each will be at the head of department
of municipal administration, and regu-
lar meetings of the commission will be
held weekly. "A system of accounting, OF
publication of proceedings and other
purely business methods are provided.
The attempt is made to eliminate, as far
as possible, the political features and
subordinate personal ambitions to the
public good.
1t is hoped that the expectations of the
advocates of this policy will be realized.
1t must not be expected, however, that
the mere adoption of this system will ac-
complish anything like the millennium.
1t will be up to the same people who
have adopted this system to further make
good by selecting suitable and efficient
men to carry out the will of the people.
The people want good government. If
they fail to select good agents to repre-
sent them the fault is entirely theirs. AS
a rule, public servants are as good as
the people who elevate them. This new
system is now on trial It will be we'll
not to expect too much from it, but it
is also only reasonable to expect from
the people-the taxpayers, the owners Of
city property, real and personal - a
greater interest in their own welfare.
1t is noticeable that in the brief cam
paign in Bismarck just ended, as in SIM
liar campaigns in other cities where the
commission system has been adopted that
element that profits most by lax enforce
ment of law were most prominent. in
evidence against the strengthening
the ward unit to the city-wide system of
selecting the government officials. This
is a good indication of the wisdom of
the people in adopting the new system.
