cial Club and the Common Council, of
Duluth, has drawn up tho following
statement OF their reasons for favor
ing commission governments:
i. Because it establishes the city on
q business basis and under it the city
Is operated as IL large commercial
corporation would be, thus eliminating
political interests OF all kinds.
2. Because it ccntralizcs RESPONSE
bility so that 1t cannot be vaded
3. Because it Facilitates and oxpe-
dites the transaction OF business and
he making Of public improvements.
4. Because 1t naturally follows that
greater economy will result from such
q purely business administration.
3. Because it provides, or should
give all their time to the city's busi-
ness, and that they shall be paid
salaries sufficient to attract the right
kind OF men.
6. Because the provisions OF the
referendum, initiative and recall givo
the citizens greater responsibilities.
greater interest in public affairs and
greater incentive to participate In
them.
Z. Because 1t abolishes the ward
system by electinE city officers from
tho whole city makes them rcspon-
sible to all parts or the city. and COM
pcls them to take care of the needs
of all parts of the community.
These, of course. are simply the
fundamental reasons for commission
government. They are the general
considerations In favor of the new
municipal idea as to city a~dministra-
ton. There are many incidental rea-
sons and more specific reasons which
might be advanced and as experience
with the commission form grows
greater. new II additional reasons
suggest themselves.
