CHAIRMAN JONES' VIEW.

There may be higher authority in the
matter of temperance in the United
States than Chairman Jones of the pro-
hibition party. But there should not
be, for he is supposed to represent the
experience of that party through all the
years of its successes and failures in its
efforts to wipe alcohol off the national
map. 1t has been engaged in this en-
deavor long enough to give it about all
the knowledge that one political party is
able to acquire along any one line.
When Mr.. Jones, therefore, says that
the anti-treating ordinacne is not an aid
to the contest against liquor, his words
convey quite important intelligence tc
the people of this community In a
general way he condemns most of the
legislation directed toward the regula'
tion of the liquor traffic, and thus he
agrees with the prohibitionist, tC
an extent, in the belief that law making
has been overdone. Indeed, along what
lines have we not overdone the business
of awmaking? 1t is not fact that
the lawmakers have reached point
where they and their products are sub
leets for sneers and raillery instead o.

D. C. COATES

Two of the larger cities in Washing
ton, Spokane and Tacoma, have adopted
the commission form of government
Several of the smaller cities, among
which may be enumerated Hoquiam, Cen
tralia, Walla Walla and Ellensburg, have
adopted or are about to adopt the plan.
The commission plan seems to meet
popular favor throughout the country
wherever tried, the proof of this being
that scarcely a city in the country that
would go back to the old plan of ward
and partisan government. The idea of
having a few responsible men in charge
of affairs with rate of remuneration
sufficient to enable them to devote their
entire time to the city's business and at
the same time subject at all times to the
citizens through the initiative, referen-
dun and recall, has caught ON through
out the country and whenever munici-
pal government is talked about the COM
mission form is found the principal topic
under discussion. 1t is doubtless true
that the people can no more afford to
close their eyes in slumber under that
plan than under any other, but the op
portunty to fix governmental response
bility and to bring up with a round turn
any dereliction in office seems to be
more at hand under the commission
plan.
At any rate the people are trying it
out and Everett people are studying the
system. The American citizen in Ev-
erett isn't much different from the
American citizen in Des Moines. HUI
manity is much the same everywhere.
1t was Alfred Henry Lewis who said he
"would guarantee to cover humanity
with horse blanket, so closely was the
herd punched" Pretty nearly the same
municipal problems are to be found in
all cities, differing only in degree. What
is bad for one city will pretty generally
be found bad for another and vice versa.
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1911-08-04

( In all probability we shall be called
upon to vote upon the question ere long
of adopting or rejecting the plan in our
own city and it is well for us to avail
ourselves of all sources of information
upon the subject.
Objection has been made that the
commission form will make but little
difference to the working people and
working people would do well to ana
lyze that statement. If it is true, work
ing people, and they make up the great
but jumping out of the frying pan into
the fire. If on the other hand the
working people would be benefited by
the change it is to their advantage to
take an active part in bringing it about.
THE proof of the pudding is not in
chewing the rag" but in painstaking in
vestigation.
ID. G. Coates, commissioner of public
works in the city of Spokane, is to
Sptdh tOliShO III tHc HlSh ScHOoi duul-
torium on the subject of "a Commits
sion Form of Government" Mr.. Coates
is more than a theorist on that subject
as he is engaged in demonstrating its
practicability by active service. In his
address he will tell of the direct bene-
fits it brings to wageworkers as we'll
as to other classes of citizens.
Mr.. Coates has been an active trade
unionist for many years and finds time
today to aid the union movement de-
spite the arduous duties imposed upon
him by his position. Those who ques-
tion his devotion to the labor move
ment wrong him. His standpoint of
public service has been for many years
and is today that of the laboring man.
The high school auditorium should be
filled tonight with men and women
eager to learn all they can of the plan
of municipal government which is tax
ing so large a place in our national af-
fairs,
