QUESTION

Tomorrow we vote on the commits
sion plan for Marshalltown. If II
carries our present city government
will pass from the control of a mayor
and seven councilmen into the hands
of a mayor and two councilmen-at-
large, the offices of ward councilmen
being abolished. Are we ready for the
question?
The whole problem hinges on the one
issue of Marshaltown's ability to elect
a mayor and two couneilmen who are
oth honest and efficient. With bad
men in office a committee OF three in
absolute control Of the city will be
worse than the present plan as there
is always a reasonable assurance of
getting a few good men when eight are
to be elected.
However, the commission plan has
worked well where it has been tried. 1t
ought to work we'll in Marshalltown. II
our people will not elect honest men to
office they deserve to be robbed. There
is suspicious activity just now on the
part Of local politicians who could
wreck the city if they should be elected
to office under the new plan and 30
citizen should vote for the new plan
without solemn pledge to himself
that he will work and vote for good
men for office
A passing glance at the low prices
obtained on public contracts in other
cities as compared to the prices offered
here is enough to disgust any citizen
with the present condition of public
affairs in Marshalltown.
