strike bills; citizens are at ease be-
cause every franchise must first be
endorsed by popular vote. For the
second time within its history, Des
Moines has lived within its means.
Starting with handicap of $780,
900 left by a former administration,
the year 1909 ended without exceed
ing a single appropriation, and with
money left over In several of its
funds.
The Grand Junction charter Is
an advance over all the plans Of city
government by commission. 1t does
not provide for the double election.
Under 1t there is but one election,
unlike Des Moines. One of the most
difficult things, as experience has
proved, Is to make a primary law
that shall not possess grave disad-
vantages. When a number of nomi-
nees are voted for there is a struggle
in which money and influence con-
spire to place, as preferred candi-
dates at the second election, men
who may be undesirable. It may
therefore resolve itself into a con-
test in which money is an important
factor This is not possible under
the single-election and preferential
voting" Of the Grand Junction char
ter, where any twenty-five men may
secure the appearance on the official
ballot of the names of their candi-
dates. The voters then choose their
nominees In the order of their pref
erence. II any nominee in the first
column has a majority of the votes
he is declared elected II a candi-
date has not enough votes in the
first column to elect, then the votes
in the second column are added to
those Of the first, and to the votes
In the second column are added the
votes In the third column. Thus is
secured the rule of the majority,
since It is hardly possible that a min
ority candidate can be successful.
Every candidate must be elected by
a majority Of the votes rather than
a plurality.
"The Grand Junction charter pro-
vides what other city charters-even
that of Des Moines--fail to include,
and that is the principles Of the
common law. II defines the city's
powers, rights and liabilities, and
provides for the city's acquisition
and operation Of any or all OF Its
private utilities now privately owned
and operated. The heads OF depart
ments bear titles practically the
same as the Des Moines' heads, but
there is one which Is curiously IL
Illustrative Of touch Of idealism--
the department az of health and
civic beauty" At this both ward
leader and civic reformer who thinks
municipal government a problem of
business merely, will smile indul-
gently"
Mr.. Miller says that there are a
list OF SO cities in the United States
which have adopted commission
form OF government and to this can
soon be added several more which
have voted for the adoption OF the
plan but the governments are not
yet in operation.

the whole city Of five heads Of de-
partments as follows
First: Department of public az
fairs.
Second: Department Of accounts
and figures.
Third: Department of public
safety.
Fourth: Department Of streets
and public improvements
Fifth: Department of parks and
public property.
"The mayor is the head of the de-
partment Of public affairs, and the
commission eject one of their num-
ber to be the head of each depart
ment. They then proceed to elect
the city clerk, assessor, treasurer,
auditor, city physician, marshall,
chief OF the fire department, etc.;
they fix salaries, engage and dis
charge public officials, act as civil
service board; make appropriations
and spend them; legislate and exc
cute the laws they frame, all their
acts being subject, however, to pop
ular revision. Surely no civic body
has ever been given such widely ex-
tended powers In a city Of ninety
thousand. And yet the plan works
well after having been nearly three
years in operation. The city gov
ernment Is more cleanly, more NOR
al, more efficient, and the tax levy
has averaged two and seven-tenths
mills less than under the old order.
There has been civic awakening,
and few citizens Of Des Moines
would be willing to go back to the
old system.
There is one objection heard,
which may and probably will be OBJ
Waited later on. That Is, that the
commission should be chosen by the
people as heads of the particular de-
partments over which they will pre-
side. The candidates may have spec
ial abilities which will better At
them for the conduct Of one depart
ment than another, and thus should
be chosen with special reference to
that department
"Any citizen may become a candi-
date for mayor or councilman. The
only requirement is a petition Of
twenty-five citizens. The name now
goes on the ballot at the primary in
alphabetical order At is not nec-
essary for him to spend a dollar.
At both the primary and the final
elections the voter may vote for one
candidate for mayor and four can
didates for councilmen. There are
ten names on the ticket. There can
be no partizanship, for there is nc
party ticket.
1T was Governor Cummins who
added the double-election clause by
which any one having the necessary
twenty-five signatures could be voted
for at tho primary. the two having
the highest number of votes fol
mayor and the eight having tn,
highest number OF votes for council
men being the candidates at the nna
election two weeks later. This re
duces the possibility OF the election
of corrupt or incompetent Officials
to a minimum.
