mediately become a part Of our sya-
TEN OF government everywhere and
no city charter should be enacted
without these valuable principles We
most thoroughly believe in a govern
ment by the people and since the
Initiative. referendum and recall seem
to bring the government closer TO tho
people and increase their interest and
responsibility in the city government.
therefore, we ask for q new charter
which contains the principles of the
Initiative. referendum and recall.
Lastly, we argue for a new Char
ter because we want the Commission
form Of city government which has
been tried in 81 cities in 18 different
states OF this country, and there is
not yet registered a single serious
failure. It has been most success
full In Des Mones, Houston and Dali
las. cities which are Just about the
size of Wilmington. We suggest that
the city be governed by four commits
sioners and a Mayor. all nominated by
q nominating election and elected at
large on a non-partisan ticket That
the city be divided into four depart
ments and one OF these men made
responsible for each department and
the work be done by men employed
under civil service and the merit sys-
tenn be applied so that good workmen
may be advanced in the city's service
just in proportion to the value of their
services and assured of work so long
as they are valuable Then give us
the initiative--that We may ask for
desired legislation. and the referen-
dum--that We may veto undesirable
legislation, and the recall--that we
may recall any city official when he
no longer serves the peoples interest,
and we predict for Wilmington a sue
cessful city government, a saving in
money. and a rapid advance In the
growth and commercial development

II is the purpose Of the Union Of

hoped that the Endeavorers will read

touch with the work. All news items
should be mailed to A. Rae duBell, COO
