THE GERMS OF WEAKENED
GOVERNMENT IN OUR TOWNS.
Free Municipalities of the Things That
Attract Them.

Microbes OF diseased and of weaken
ed administration appear in American
municipalities, whatever the form of
government may be
What attracts these microbes to en-
ter the municipal circulation unless it
be municipal contracts. supplies. fran
chises. licenses, law and regulation
enforcement and what patronage re-
mains over and above civil service
laws? These we may call municipal
riches and. when used for politics.
municipal plumber
1t is proposed to take these attrac-
tons out of politics.
To prepare safe place to put the
control of municipal contracts, etc,
we should bring about
The complete separation of the po-
litical policy determining functions
from the expert administrative func-
lions, placing each in the hands of a
different set of persons.
Tenure during good behavior and eff
ficiency for the expert administrators
and short terms for the policy deter
mining officials.
Selection of the experts through high
grade civil service tests: investigating
education, training and achievements
by the aid of independent experts. ap-
pointing as a rule to the lower expert
positions with promotion to the higher,
though making original appointments
to the higher where necessary.
Removal only after the publicity Of
an open hearing.
The right of the expert administra-
tors, both individually and acting as
a board. to have their proposed policies
and budgets made public
The final determination of apprOpria-
tons and policies by the political side
Of the municipal government
Where policies, either detailed or gen
eral, of the political side differ from
those of the expert the publication of
the political policies before the expert
is overridden
With these preparations made it is
proposed to place in the hands of the
permanent experts the control of mu'
nicipa contracts, supplies. franchises,
licenses, the enforcement of law and
regulations what patronage there may
be and all administrative details and
discipline.
Where the separation of these wholly
different functions is complete, as In
England, Germany and France, we see
efficiency and honesty. Where these
functions are mixed. as in America,
we see waste and corruption.
BY such Il plan of separation we
should secure
A career for experts in municipal ad-
ministration.
Attraction for experienced men OF
high character and training.
\ chance for promotion that will
draw capable young men into the low
or expert service
Expert chiefs who would believe in
enforcing the merit system.
Municipal contracts honestly and eff
GENTLY made and strictly enforced,
Clean streets and better security for
the public health
Getting n days work for days pay
More independent supervision and in
vestigation By those in the political
branch than il the appointees were
their own friends
A better system of public accounting
Continuity of public works conceived
OH broad plans.
More definite fixing of responsibility
between the political executive and ex-
pert administrators.
All of which would tend to more or.
derby. efficient and honest administra-
ton.

COMPETITION WILL ENDURE.

No matter how strong corpora
tons may be in certain lines OF
trade, the cumulative spirit in
man, with his desires and ambi-
ton. will ever tend to course
of action independent Of them.
There will always be minds alert
enough to circumvent the de-
signs Of the most powerful COM
binations and spirits bold enough
to wage battle against them. In
almost every line Of endeavor
there are natural conditions
which cannot be overcome by
any concentration Of wealth. In
the railroad business, for In
stance, no combination, however
strong, can ever hope absolutely
to dictate rates while the rivers,
lakes and oceans exist. These
natural waterways fix maximum
rates teday beyond which the
railways cannot go. The condi-
lions which would curb Il cOmbi-
nation of the railroads exist in
other forms in the various lines
of trade. and while the human
race exists and possesses the
same instincts and feelings that
now inspire and urge people to
action think the day will never
come when competition will be
eliminated. +. +. Bush. Presi-
