COMMISSION
FORM OF GOVERN.
MENT Continued
What Some Cities Have Done

NtNaE SOF1S StEi6S f1dNS lone
Des MONIES has been operating IN
der the Commission plan nearly four
years. They have a population Of
over 100000, and after the first year
they were able to show the following
results:
Without increasing the tax levy,
they built concrete bridge across
the Des Moines River, costing $780,
10000, and paid for it without a bond
issue. They looked after streets bet
ter than ever before; nearly double
the amount of paving done; reduced
water rates 20 per cent; and increased
wages of day 1aborers to 221ac per
hour, and teamsters to 45c All this
and more was done at a saving in
one year Of 1924, 10000, and in addi-
ton the tax levy for the following
year was materially reduced. The OLD
council left a debt of $119, 10000
the new rule paid all its debts and
had a cash balance of $105 100000 at
the close of the first year Of opera
ton Nothing but good reports come
from the cities that have tried the
new plan. In this state we have Eau
Claire and Appleton already working
under it with a dozen or more now
considering a change, and outside oul
state there are over 100 cities that
have successfully tested the new plan
and we have yet to hear from the
first city that would go back.
How To Secure It,
In order to secure the Commission
plan petition bearing the signatures
of 25 per cent of the voters at the
last election for Mayor must be pre-
scented, asking that the plan be sub
mitted to a vote. If submitted and
carried, then the new plan becomes
effective and the new officers are E.
Iected at the expiration of the term
of the present Mayor and Council
men, which is next April.
The principal provisions of the
Commission Plan are as follows:
l. A Mayor and two Councilmen
elected by the city as a whole-yard
system for City election done away
with.
2. SaIary-For Mayor 100000,
Councilmen 2,5OO.OO-none too much
to get the best men and it has prov
ed to be a good Investment" in
other cities.
8. Term of office of Mayor shall
he six years and of the two coun-
cilmen six years, except for the first
term one shall hold two and the 9th
er four years, to be determined by
lot after election.
4. Any man, except as provided in
the statute, can run for the office
OF Mayor or Councilmen by present
ing a petition signed by at least TWEEN
ty-five voters, and the election shall
be similar to our present primary
plan.
s. A candidate when elected must
devote his entire time TO the duties
of his office-in other words, can
have no other business, all his time
belonging tc the city, and therefore
constantly in the employ of every CT
tizen.
6. In case any of the members
of the Commission has not done his
full duty, and % per cent of the yo-
tiers sign a petition to that effect
he may be recalled and an election
called to elect his successor, and
should he be unable to secure a ma
iority in said election his office will
be declared vacant to be taken by
his successor. This provision not
only helps to get good men, but helpa
to keep them good.
