THE EFFICIENT PLAN.

An article by Richard s. Childs
published in this paper today gives
the result Of the commission form of
government in a number of western
cities. From each city comes the
same story. Conditions have been
greatly improved. Graft is practically
eliminated; the people are given speed
Ter and better service and it costs less
than did the inefficient service given
by the old regime.
Nor is it surprising that these things
are true The commission plan by its
very nature calls for a businesslike
efficient management Of affairs. Tn
der the commission plan in city the
size Of Pendleton three men are chosen
tc administer affairs. They are Sc
lected with a view to special fitness
for the work they are to do. Affairs
are not conducted by a large group Of
men upon none Of whom may direct
responsibility be placed. Under the
commission plan a particular respon-
sibility is centered upon each man.
The officials are paid for the work
they do and they are expected to work
There are people here who say it is
unnecessary to pay our officials. The
city cannot afford it they declare. On
the contrary a city like Pendleton
cannot afford TO have unpaid offici-
ais. Thank you" work is not reliable
as a regular thing. A clumsy acting,
unpaid city council is liable to "sluff''
on some proposition that will mean a
loss Of many thousands TO a city.
Time may prove that the present of.
ficials, through failure to solve GER
tain problems that have been before
them, may have caused the city to
lose inestimable sums.
Not only should commission gov
ernment officials give cheaper ser
vice but they should provide mucf
better service than is now had. Thi
because they would be expected t,
give close personal supervision to az
fairs.
1t would be reasonable 10 expec
commission government officials t
see that street arc lights burn durin
the early evening when street trav,
Is the heaviest. 1t would be reason
able to expect such officials to re
pair cross walks during fair weathe

THE PENDLETON ROUNDUP.
CFrom the Portland spectator.)

CFrom the Portland SPECTATOR
Pendleton's Roundup" sets a new
unaccustomed standard for public
entertainment. 1t was a hundred per
cent better than the management
said it would be, and a thousand per
cent better than anyone thought II
could be. It pleased even more than
it surprised the $4,000 people who
paid to see it. The "Round-Up" Is
really a series Of great western dra-
matte pictures, showing scenes of
wonderful, free exciting. fast dis
appearing life; the actors, represen-
tives of distinct and unblending races
are fast vanishing, too.
The "Round-Up" arena was selected
by an artist; it is surrounded by quiet,
sun-lit hills; beyond the field is a
grove of cottonwood trees, amid
which the Umatilla Indians had built
their tepees and where the remnants
Of this tribe Of red men. rich in
land and cattle and ponies, returned
for a few days to their primitive life
to add color, vari-similitude, and in
terest to an entertainment in which
white brothers. They rode, strutted,
took the warpath, tripped their weird
| dances and had their pictures taken
in their gaudy costumes with stolid
solemnity that cloaked but did not
conceal their eagerness to be in the
vicinity Of the bandwagon.
As to the cowboys and cowgirls
who took part in the stirring pictures
Of western life, what they did was all
in the days wOrk-and probably that
is why their feats and so much inter-
est for the spectators. Everyone
knew there was no acting, the
"buckers" they rode were truly "out.

threw and tied were fresh from the

AT CHEIIALIS.

Chehalis, Wash, a city of 5000 peo-
ple-the size of Pendleton-voted last
week on the commission plan of gov
ernment and the plan carried by a
vote of AIS for and 1873 against. The
commission plan carried despite a
strong campaign against it waged by
the standpat element in the city. Both
Chehalis newspapers opposed the ad-
option of the new plan but the merits
OF the commission plan are so obvious
to the people that they voted almost
unanimously for it.

not while streets are muddy. It
Y ould be reasonable to expect such
officials to deal with public service
corporations with a view to getting
hetter and cheaper service for the
people. There is much that may be
accomplished along this line if city
officials will only act vigorously and
intelligently.
There is everything in favor of the
commission form of government;
there is no valid argument against it.
