Two Needed Rules.

The chief reason for adopting the
commission plan of city government
for Omaha was widespread desire
to have the affairs of the city admin
istered in a more businesslike man
ner, and all the candidates who
sought popular support promised to
help fulfill that expectation. With
this purpose in view, the councilman
ought to lay down two propositions
as conditions precedent to the APP
pointment of subordinate officers and
employees.
First. A rule should be estab-
lished barring appointees from be-
coming candidates for elective Of
fees. When a city employe files for
nomination in the primary that
should be his resignation, and be
should not be allowed to use the time
he is paid to devote TO city business
campaigning to promote his personal
political fortunes.
Second. A rule should be estab-
lished requiring all city employees re-
ceiying full salary to devote their
full time TO the business OF the city,
and prohibiting them from engaging
in outside business or employment OF
their own account. except with ex-
press and specific permission granted
on application. stating the character
and extent OF the same. Where a
city employe is az the same time ac-
cepting private employment or
soliciting business for his own profit,
ii is hard for him TO distinguish be-
tween official favor and personal ac-
commodstion, because the line be-
tween legitimate and improper pay
ments or privileges 10 at best hazy.
II any city employe is in outside busi-
ness or employment which is on the
square, and which he has a right to
engage In, be ought not to be afraid
TO put It up to the council to grant
him permission and to do It In the
open.
The adoption Of these two rules
would, We feel sure. work wonders
for efficiency in the city hall. where
in the past nearly every other man
on the payroll has been either run
ming periodically for office or pursu-
ing some side line OF his own.
