GRAFT IN hosokEN.

A searching investigation may be
good for any municipality at any time
Few city governments in the United
States are so spotless that "a stirring
UP now and then may not be had with
advantage. Hoboken. y. j.. has just
undergone an invigorating experience
The Board OF Trade OF that city, aid
cd by the Robert l.. Stevens fund for
municipal research. has been digging
into city affairs. Here are some OF
ne things they found.
Erasers that cost fifty cents a
dozen in the stores cost seventy-nve
oents a dozen when sold to the city.
Maps cost the city seventy-hve
cents a half dozen above the market
price.
Scratch pads cost the city $3.50 a
half gross above the market price.
When Hoboken wants lawn mowers
II pays S2l.0O for a machine which is
sold to another customer for $500.
Even the state gratis upon Hobo
ken. Money due from the state TO
the amount OF 500. 10000 was held up
by the state treasury for many weeks.
while the town was paying five per
cent. interest on emergency money.
Account books bought for the audi
tors department cost on an average
$500 a piece more than such books
cost other customers.
Grating practices like these Will
exist TO more or less degree in every
large concern. \ few years ago an
investigation OF the Pennsylvania
railroad. an institution supposed to be
conducted on the highest plane Of
honesty and efficiency. showed that
many OF its officials We're interested
directly and indirectly IN petty grart.
extending through many departments.
Within the last two years the Illinois
Central railroad scandals showed that
that corporation had been robbed of
over $1,000. 10000 on its car repairs,
and the robbery was done by IFS own
officials. Nevertheless these evils can
be reduced 10 a minimum. and expert
ence has shown that the commission
form OF government. which is simply
another expression for concentration
OF power and responsibility In the
hands OF few. is the hest way OF re-
ducing grating evils.
We are beginning 20 realize that
our great cities are after an nothing
but large business corporations. Hy
electing two or three men 10 transact
the business OF these corporations. by
holding them responsible FOR results.
we are getting nearer 10 high state
OF efficiency and economy than We
can possibly get by distributing re-
sponslbility among forty OF fifty dis.
cordant and selfish officials. Probably
a great many other cities IN the coun-
try will show the same kinds NJ petty
graft that Hoboken has shown. Tho
way 20 get away from that IS 10 elect
a few good men 20 Office. give them
sufficient power. pay them decent sal.
aries. and hold them responsible FOR
results. Results VIII not always DO
good. because mistakes Will be- made.
but they are much more likely 10 be-
good than under any other conditions.
