The Des Moines Plan.

The Des Moines Plan.
The latest and most up to date form
sion is an improvement on the Calves
ton idea and is known as the Des
Moines plan. 1t provides for the cleo
ton of five commissioners, one of whom
is mayor, and in this respect~is prac-
tically identical with the method in
use in the Texas city The new fea-
lures are the initiative, referendum and
recall. A certain percentage Of citizens
may initiate legislation, all public fran
chises except those Of minor char
acter must be submitted to popular
vote, and if officials do not behave
| themselves the people may vote them
out Of Office just. as they voted them
in. The Des Moines plan has now
been in force nearly two years and
has aroused the interest of many cities.
| In Des Moines the commissioners
| are called councilmen. They are elect
ed at large. First is held primary,
| in which twice as many candidates are
placed in nomination as there are
places to be filed. Then several
months are given the citizens to scan
these candidates, after which the reg
ular election occurs. No, party desig-
nations are placed opposite the names

is to make the issue one Of personal
fitness alone. In the case of the may
or the ballot contains directions to
"vote for one" and in that Of the coun-
cilmen to vote for four" These are
the only elective officers of the city,
and full responsibility is concentrated
in their hands. Other officials are cho-
sen by the council through means Of
rigid civil service examinations. AS
far as possible partisanship is elm
mated in every way. The mayor is
little more than one of the council,
though he has some extra powers, du-
ties and salary. The present mayor is
