COMMISSION GOVERNMENT FOR NEWARK.

II WITHOUT paying any attention to the political partisan
WV Newark city charter bill recently introduced in the Leg
islature, the Charter Revision Commission last night
took mp it's tentative charter with a new idea, namely, the
adoption OF some form of the plan OF municipal commission
Tex: Des Moines, la. and other cities. Only in Newark, among the
cities of New Jersey. could such 4 proposition be sobery made at
this time or receive any countenance from its representative cltr
zens. but it is Characteristic of our city TO be we'll in advance IN
matters of local government and administration. 1t is felt that in
adopting a new charter in place of the present one VT should give
ear to every practical suggestion aud examine every model before
we decide. The draft of a charter lately submitted by the commits
sion was intended for amendment. 1t was necessary to get tenta
tive charter provisions before the public and procure its Judgment
upon them. Hence no bill was introduced in the Legislature at
this session. After the charter draft had become we'll understood
and desired changes had been made, a bill could be introduced in
the next Legislature and have the support of public sentiment
While the charter was in preparation there was a distinctly favor
sions of the reyisers and by Others interested in this important task.
Last night it found decided expression. Newark wants al ideal
municipal government, if it can get one, and is ready to take the
best it can get. If the commission plan is one that Newark can
advantageously adopt. no prejudice should be permitted to stand
in the way. The great merit of this plan is that it does away with
cumbrous political machinery, concentrates responsibility. replaces
incompetency by competency, simplifes the operation of govern
public work, and promotes a true civic spirit. Such has been the
experience in the Western cities that have adopted the plan. The
meetings of the Charter Commission will now be invested with
increased interest, as the features of the plan of commission gov
eminent will be publicly discussed.

have the ballot at the present time is
an undeniable fact admitted by
economists.
Now, u solution which would meet the
occasion would be to permit all men and
women who are qualified TO vote to dc
so, thus barring the men who are toe
ignorant to nov what a vote mount
to and the old ia shioned, motherly
woman who wants to stay at home and
look after the children, leaving faith
err to look after the politics of the
country. This plan is an examination
system i'll which the voter would have
to write answer to a series of ques-
tons on the constitution, the differ
ences in the great parties in the politi-
cal field and the commercial interests
of his locality.
Such d system would reduce the
number voting, would eliminate corrup-
ton in elections n would insure a
result which would reflect the opinions
of the people who know what a vote is
for and worth, people who know what
this great country is and what 1t re-
| quires for it's betterment. An examina-
ton for voting privileges would settle
the question and would debar the great
mass Of voters who now swing cleo
tons under the leadership of a boss
No hardship would be effected. a. COM
pulsory education provides the educa'
ton, and the votes of those who are il.
literate and proud of it should be killed

THE PEOPLE AND Mr.. TAFT.

IN RESIDENT TAFTS addresses n nearly all deprecatory of
liz the public criticism of the course of his administration, but
they are not altogether explanatory, and have not been as
satisfactory to the public as the President would wish. There are
certain acts of the administration that do not seem susceptible to
explanation. The Balinger appointment and the harsh dismissal
of Pinchot at Balinger's suggestion is one. The Presidents close
afRliahon with Aldrich and Cannon is another. The people do not
like the Taft idea of conservation, which is Ballnger's also, that
the government should take no step that it is not compelled by law
to take-a proposition highly indorsed by the groups of men who
see colossal individual fortunes in the public domain. The admin
istration bills, a introduced, are extremely unsatisfactory to the
nuhIic sentiment. Important provisions in these bills are stout1y
-nnnosed nv men ih Congress who have the confidence of the people,
and ire supported by men in whom they have little confidence.
President Taft indorsed these provisions In his Rochester speech
last night he reaffrmed his faith i'll that provision of the railroad
bill that permits a railroad owning 80 per cent. of the stock of a
competing railroad to gobbIe all the stock and own the competing
road. When President Taft gets away from the political at,
mosnhere Of Washington it is to talk, and not TO listen. He takes
he Atmosphere with him. He learns nothing of the sentiment of
she people. and is apt to he deceived by the generous receptions

NEXT WEEK AT TRENTON.

STN HERE should be a strenuous week at Trenton beginning Mon
day night. The exhaustion of enacting the public utilities
bill will have passed off, and, that subject being out of the
way. the Legislature can take up other matters that have likewise
been held back in the grip of committee chaiTmen. When a measure
that is desired by the people is suppressed in committee by consent
or by direction of the majority leaders the act has exactly the same
effect III defeat in a vote of the Legislature. The responsibility of
the Legislature for killing a bill in committee is. therefore. as great
as if it was killed when put to vote.
