IMPROVING THE

In a general way the commission
plan differs from ordinary city gov
ernment in several important par
ticulars. The mayor and commission
ers are elected by all the people,
without reference 10 ward lines.
They are nominated in a general nom
partisan primary, and the two candi-
dates receiving the largest number
OF votes are made candidates for
mayor, while the eight receiving the
largest vote are made candidates for
commissioners, and these ten names
are placed upon the ticket without
any party designation. The five men
elected are made personally respon-
sible for everything in the city gov
ernment Each man has charge of
particular department, under bond,
and both his bond and his office may
be forfeited II he fails in his work
through neglect, incompetence or dis
honesty. Efficient service is the one
requirement, and the men are held to
this just as the officers OF business
corporation are. Under the Kansas
law the initiative and referendum are
provided for, as is also the recall.

Angeles. All franchises of a public
character must be submitted to a
