From the above it will be seen that
the last two years show only the NOM
inal increase in the assessed valuation.
Evidently We must look for there
duction in the tax rate in the 'ex-
penses of public improvement or of
government. Whether or not there
has been great decrease in the quail
ity of public improvement would have

member of the Eau Claire council,
says that during their first year

school site; 81, 500 for a reservoir: a
large number of sewers and water
mains had TO be laid and many street

street work was so well done that the
administration was given credit for
keeping up its work at least as well
as it ever had been done. We have
Just seen a letter written by an Eau

are cleaned is highly complimented.

But the main thing overlooked is the
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1912-01-02

fact that the commission form of city
government as now in vogue is quite
different thing from the county
commission system of years ago. 1t
is now hedged about in such away
that the people are always in control
through the referendum and the. re-
call. The old county commission sys-
tenn did not have these features, but
it was based on representation, for
each commissioner represented only
a section Of the county and was
elected by the voters of his section.
Evidently this fact was overlooked by
the writer for he upholds this very
thing as being "American," at the
same time that he condemns county
commission. Perhaps this was what
was wrong about it and not its name.
Municipal government in the United
States is VIGOROUSLY a failure.
But let us get back to the main
question in dispute. Have the Eau
Claire commission been faithful to it's
trust and brought its finances into
better condition I? 1t seems to us that
the facts speak for themselves.
1t took up the work in April 1910
and found floating debt, some Of it
past due, of over 1000, with less than
1000 available cash.
A year later, in April 1911, it had
over $4,000 cash on deposit.
The 1910 tax rate was 500. 3S the
1911, S23, rs per 81, 900 and water rates
have been reduced 25 per cent.
Furthermore, Eau Claire was dead
few years ago, and now finds itself
alive and celebrated, for progress is in
the air.
The city is being conducted on bust
ness principles, because the council
has the time necessary TO look after
the affairs of such a large institution.
The insinuation that the commits
sion form of government is being
urged by certain parties for selfish
purposes is beside the question and
needs no answer, 5ut we happen to
know that there is net one member of
the committee that would take either
the office of mayor or commissioner
were the plan adopted. We make
this statement in order that this mis-
representation need no longer becloud
the situation.

The Commission Plan.

The San Francisco Bulletin is still
talking the commission plan of gov
eminent for cities. In its Christmas
number it said in part:
"Some day in the not distant future,
perhaps within a single decade, the
American city which sticks to the old
fashioned, money-wasting system of
municipal government will be re-
garded as but a little more enlightened
than Hottentot village. Then the
municipality with the commission
plan of government will be the rule
instead of the exception. The trans
formation is now in progress, and its
completion cannot be delayed long.
The commission plan will prevail be-
cause it enables jewellers in cities and
towns to conduct the public business
economically and with far greater eff
fciency than is possible under the old
system or any of its variations. The
success of Galveston and Des Moines
is a matter of common knowledge
Their example gave impetus to the
movement which has already tri.
umphed in hundreds OF cities and
will within year or two prevail in q
thousand cities"

THE anti-tipping movement contin-
ues to receive encouragement from
the organized hotel and restaurant
employees. A New York newspaper
says:
There isn't waiter of good stand
ing in the city who would not prefer
to have tips abolished if he could get
regular salary without tips. The
Head Walters Association, whose
members control more than 10000
walters in the best dining places in
New York, is trying to organize a
movement among the men to Ameri-
canize all foreign born waiters-to
make voters of them and to educate
them to the duties and privileges of
citizenship. Gustav A. Jordan, in
charge of the walters of the Elks'
Club in Forty-third street and a
former president of the association,
says that the walters of first rank dis
like the tipping system and that
what they want is straight living
wages. The bellboys of the big hotels
express themselves similarly. They
have just organized the Hotel Bell
mems Association and leased head
quarters at No. 343 West Thirty-fifth
street. They are tired of tips. They
want pay.

All Eau Claire Rejoicing.

Converts are being made in Eau
Claire to the commission plan of city
government every Gay now since tax
paying time.
If the question of going back TO
the old common council system was
to be submitted to the people for a
vote tomorrow the proposition would
not get votes enough to form cor
porars guard. Local taxpayers this
year are paying the lowest taxes they
have ever had assessed against them.
The mayor and councilmen are kept
busy shaking hands and receiving
congratulations from hundreds of
joyous taxpayers. Last year the
local taxpayer paid 5000 or s31.20,
depending on the highway mill tax,
Oil each 81 900 of assessed valuation,
while this year the taxpayer is called
upon TO pay either s24.76 or s25. on
each $1,000 of assessed valuation.
This reduction the commission has
accomplished without curtailing city

Under the present system the tax
rate will 90 higher. 1t is not the

it is the fault the undemocratic, IN.

Under the increasing rate of taxes

year, consider the large increase
Next year, under the present system
taxes cannot be lowered. The chance:
are that they will be higher.
