mary of the situation in most of the
American cities.
In Galveston.
In Galveston five years OF the mod
ern method showed that the annual
expenses of the city government had
been reduced nearly .one-third; the
city had saved a million dollars; both
the tax rate and the city debt had
been reduced; a new system of sew
ers had been installed, new and eff
ficient health department had been
created; the area of paved streets
had been greatly extended; there had
been no ,peculation, no fraud, no boss
system, and In every way Galveston
had become a better city TO live In.
In Houston. the first year of the
plan showed that the saving effected
had enabled the city to pay 800 900
OF indebtedness, while the tax levy
was reduced twenty cents on the
500. At the same time the public
Improvements effected were the
greatest in the history of the city,
and the appropriations for such work
exceeded 'he records. As one indi-
cation of the new order, | may men,

six miles of new street paving and
paid for it without issuing a dollars

pal excellence, the very thing that
all the doctors and learned professors
of politics have agreed from the be-
ginning Is the first requisite of re-
form In our affairs. This highly laud-
able change followed close upcu the
death of the old mediaeval and fan
tastic superstition about the wise and
the good. 1t seems that when the
people of Cedar Rapids learned that
the responsibility for their govern
ment was in their own sole hands and
they could no longer depend upon the
wise and the good, they woke up. The
city became their city instead of the
bOss's city (for the first time in their
experienced the power to secure bet
ter things, they began to demand
such things and to be interested in
securing them. Councilman Ernest
A. sherman. one of the managers of
the new Cedar Rapids, says that ithe
commission plan law has done more
to awaken civic pride in Cedar Rapids
since last April (19OS) than all that
happened during the more than fifty
years that the city was operated
under its special (thumb-hand) char
ter"
In Conclusion.
These experiments are young and
may possibly be deemed not eonelu-
siye, bat the following achievements
Of the new plan seem to be fairly
well established:
1. II abolishes party politics from
local affairs.
9. IL eliminates the boss. the
CRATER and the political machine.
8. It views a municipality as &
great business enterprise and pro
yldes accordingly for its effective
management.
The Paducah evening sun., 1910-03-30

Cedar Rapids affords probably the
best aud clearest Illustration of the
practical workings of the new idea.
The first act OF the new city man
ayers was to engage expert account
ants and issue to the people of Cedar
Rapids the first public statement of
the city's actual financial coalition.
This showed that the thumb-hand sys-
tenn had been spending public money
at the rate of $4,000 a month and
would have added s15O,000 a year to
the city's Indebtedness. Nine months
OF the new management made a very
different showing; the city lived
within its income. and on January 1 q,
1909, it had balance in every fund.
while every bill had been paid and
every current obligation met. The
tax levy was thereupon reduced one
mill and a further reduction was OBJ
viously feasible for 1910.
To show the difference between
the old methods and the new, | may
say that the thumb-handers In Cedar
Rapids (as generally elsewhere) we've
in the habit of paving the city's bills
whenever they thought of the matter
and the cash was available. The busi-
ness administration. being engaged In
managing the city exactly as Il would
manage any great commercial enter
prise, audited and paid all bills as
soon as presented and got two per
cent discount for cash.
Some of the achievements of the
new system were amazing. and stag.
gered even those most familiar with
the slipshod ways OF the old. Fol
example, under the old regime the
clty's revenues from the police court
and the police department amounted
to about seventy-hve dollars a month
When Business Democracy came in, q
increased these revenues to $500 q
month, and without Increasing IN,
assets. How? Merely by collectinE
the license and other fees instead o.
allowing them to go by default a.
thumb-hand was wont to do Car
there be any doubt that the represen
tative is the costliest system of gov
ernmept known to man?

Des Moines.
In Des Moines, the general disgust
with the old method of government
was so great that when the question
of adopting the new was being agi-
tated placards appeared in the
streets bearing only the words: at
Can't BE Any Worse Than This"
and all men knew and appreciated
what was meant. After a year of
the new plan. the Des Moines Regis
ter and Ledger, a newspaper of con-
spicuous fairness, reviewing the ad-
vantages and Disadvantages OF the
Innovation, concluded that "Des
Moines is. in fact. the most econom-
ically and most honestly managed
city Of It's size In the Middle West"
The old city government had left
affairs in such a tangle that an issue
of $3.50, 900 OF bonds TO provide for
the floating Indebtedness was neces-
.sarily the first step of the new man
ayers; the first year OF their work
showed that ali of this extravagance
had been excised, and economy had
taken the place OF helter-skelter ex-
tTaRagances. Previously there had
been In the general fund an annual
deficit OF from $4,000 to $25 600;
this had been converted into a sur
plus: none OF the funds reported
deficit.
which, with other duties. had been
much neglected under the old city
government, had been carefully look
ed after by the new. Every depart
ment showed increased efficiency and
an Increased total OF business trans
acted at decreased cost. Public i'm
provements had cost less and had
been pushed farther In brick-pav-
ing. for instance, the expense had
been reduced by seven cents a yard,
and in asphalt-paving by two cents;
and more of each had been laid than
ever before. The cost of curbing had
been cut one and one-half cents a
foot. Under the old government the
city paid to the gas company s24.-
27S.66 for Lib street lamps. under
the new s1s.475.Ss for 1.11s lamps;
under the old government seventy
five dollars a year for each street
electric lamp, under the new sixty

a condition that had blessed 1t but
once before in a generation. Not one
Appropriation had been exceeded. |
The water rates had been reduced
from thirty TO twenty cents a thou
sand gallons. Police and fire depart |
ments had taken on a new efficiency:
the city began to show a new front
OF good looks. No boss. no machine,
and no scandal marred the situation,
and men that had sought so long In
vain for good government began to
believe that at last they had found It.
