Editor the Press: / have been
asked by several readers of The
Press to explain In detail the COM
mission form of government, and
although much has been written
along this line, the present cam
paign Of education that is being
waged in Spokane now is arousing
an interest in the subject and many
pPple who have passed the matter
over lightly heretofore "are begin
ming to sit up and take notice" This
Is just as 1t should be. Everyone
who is at all conversant with ex-
listing conditions here, as well as
in nearly all our other large cities,
knows that there Is something rad
ically wrong in that form OF city
government which permits such
evils to exist rs are found wher-
ever the ward system prevails. 1t
is the system that is wrong.
Galveston, Texas, after one of
the worst catastrophes OF modern
times, was in dire distress. Grow
ing out of the tidal wave which
practically destroyed the city,
there was evolved form of munic-
ipal government that has worked
wonders for that city, and for all
the other cities that have adopted
the plan. The first forward step in
the movement was in the selection
of five commissioners, or council
men, from the city as whole. This
nho1iohnI oil ,ioh
another step in the right direction.
The election was made non-partisan
and these three steps constitute the
essential differences between the
old form of city government and
the new. Trifling as these three
steps seem to be as we read them,
they are, nevertheless, revolution
airy in results.
The average business man in our
cities generally will have nothing
to do with local politics. He knows
that conditions are bad under the
ward system, but he sees no way
to remedy them. The ward poll
tician and the ward heelers run
the political machinery Of the ward
and a reform in conditions seems
well nigh impossible. The business
man feels that he will lose caste il
he attempts to dabble in local poll
tics, and so he keeps out of it, loses
interest and probably does not go to
the polls to vote.
Under the commission form of
city government, the business man
is an important factor. There are
usually several candidates for each
position to be filled, and at the
