Work For the Commission Plan.

Work For the COMMISSION ran.
The election for deciding whether
this city shall be conducted under the
commission plan or whether we shall
cling to the old form which has run
the city of Wausau into debt for
nearly half million dollars
will take place in February. There
can be all kinds of objections brought
up against the commission plan. Such
as that it unAmerican that it tends
to municipal dictatorship; that it is
against personal liberty; that it takes
the control away from the people.
All this is the vertical kind of bun
combe. None of these can be substan-
tiated.
UnAmerican why bless your soul,
in the old way a citizen has partial
voice only in the administration of
city affairs; under the commission
plan an American citizen has COM
plete control and a vote in electing
every man on the council and refutes
the cry that the new plan infringeS
upon personal---very.. 1t might circum-
scribe the liberties of some. In fact
no "Hinkey Drinks" or "Bath House
Johns" would stand much of a show
in city election under the commits
sion plan.
Municipal dictatorship Why this is
more silly than any of the arguments
against this plan. Under the present
system the voter has nothing to say
about the government of the city
after he has voted for the aldermen
of his ward, but under the commits
sion plan the voter can propose legiS-
lation at any time. That few can
dictate the policy of city under the
new plan is out OF the question.
There is this is about the commits
sion plan of government:
1t takes no account of a mans ma
tionality Oh religion.
1t is not prohibition nor an anti
prohibition movement.
1t is not republican nor demo-
cratic nor a socialistic movement. 1t
is absolutely non-partisan.
1t stands for business administra-
tion of city affairs.
Sound business methods its one
motto.
1t makes no promises or bargains
in advance.
1t proposes to conduct the city
affairs so that the city government
will be like a business corporation.
It's aim is to secure the greatest
efficiency in the governmental agen-
cies.
This is secured at no sacrifice of
democracy.
1t is more democratic than the old
aldermanic system.
1t is a government of the whole
people and for the whole city.
The voters who desire to see a low
ering of the taxes; a lessening of the
heavy bonded Indebtedness should
note the trend of things; see who is
opposing this business plan and then
they cannot help but vote and work
for the commission plan. We need it
to make Wausau a progressive city;
to make lower the taxes. Let us all
pull hard.and strong for this PROPOSE
ton.
The tax rate for the city of Eau
Claire for the fifteen years previous
to the commission plan, averaged
$29.3S per 81, 900 assessed valuation
and each year bonding the city to
keep even, and last year it had q
deficit of $4,000.
Under the commission plan of two
years this Indebtedness of S45, 900 has
been paid and in addition $4,000 of
bonds have been retired, and the tax
rate for this year is S23.76 per $1,000
assessed valuation.

SUDDEN DEATH.

A six months old child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Raasch, 70l Stark street

official inquiry, but decided that an

DID it ever occur to you Mr.. tax
payer of Wausau that under the
present system of city government
you have only a chance to vote for
two aldermen and that under the
commission plan you can vote for the
entire council? In other words you
have voice in selecting every man
who is directly responsible for the
government of our city. Which plan
conflicts with personal liberty2
