MORE ABOUT COMMISSION
FORM Of GOVERNMENT

Editor the Press: l 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
0pple 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 we'll as
in nearly all our other large cities,
knows that there is something rad
ically wrong in that form o. city
government which permits such
evils to exist as 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
abolished all ward lines, which was
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 if
he attempts to dabble In local poll
ties, 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
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-04-20

primary election for the nomination
of candidates, each voter is allowed
to make free choice Of the men he
wishes to nominate. He may not
vote for a single candidate who is
nominated as the result of the pri-
mary in the whole city, but he has
had chance to show his prefer
ence, and as there is nothing about
the ballot to show party affiliation
or location in the city, he will be
very likely to have only one thought
In voting. and that Is to pick the
best men for the positions to be
filled.
The two candidates for each Of.
flee who receive the highest num-
Der of votes at the primary election
are named on the official ballot and
again there is no political or local
tag attached to the name of any
candidate to sway the opinion of
the voter in making his choice.
But the best part of the commits
sion form Of city government is
found in the organization of the
council for work. Much general
work in the way of passing ordi-
nances must be done by the council
in regular session, but the execu-
tive part of the business is con-
Quoted by departments. Each coun-
Gilman is at the head of depart
ment and he is the chief executive
officer of his department. He can
not shift responsibility for the work
of his department. 1T is up to him."
1t is the lack of power to fix re-
sponsibility under the ward system
grating, corruption and kindred
evils that are known to exist in
nearly all of our large cities; yes,
and in many of the smaller ones,
too.
SO rapid has been the spread of
this idea that the commission form
of government is the best form so
far devised for cities that it is now
in use in cities having an aggregate
population of over 100000 people.
Pittsburg. Inundated in the ex-
treme by the recent exposure of
corruption in her municipal affairs,
is turning to the commission form
of government for relief. Is it any
wonder that she does?
A large city is essentially a bust
ness corporation. That being the
case. should not all the stOckhold-
ers. namely, the people. see to 1t
that the work of the city is con-

lines 1t seems so to me. II ! had
it in my power to do the one thing
for Spokane that would. as | verify
