MAYOR AND
COUNCILMEN
Tcontribhted.1

There is generally speaking no use
in borrowing trouble or counting
chickens before they are Matched. We
understand that many persons in the
city are greatly troubled over the
question as to who will be mayor and
councimen in case the vote is ia
vorable on January Both to the City
Commission Plan There will GER
tainly be time enough after the e
lection on the Goth to consider the
matter of suitable presons to fill the
three offices.
A word or two, however, as to the
method of selecting the mayor and
councilmen. The law provides that
a primary election shall be held two
weeks before the general election. Of
course the general election will come
the first Tuesday in April so the pri-
mary election, if one is to be held,
will be on the 18th day of March.
At least twenty days before the
18th day Of March any person who
desires to become a candidate for
either mayor or councilman shall file
with the city clerk an affidavit by
himself setting forth his candidacy
and also with such affidavit a petit
ton signed by twenty-five qualified
voters requesting that his name be
placed on the official ballot at the
primary election.
It will be seen from this state
ment of the law that as many person
as desire can become candidates
very easily.
At the primary election each voter
in the city may vote for a candidate
for mayor and a candidate for coun
Gilman, and the two candidates fol
mayor receiving the highest number
of votes in the city shall b deemed
nominated. The four candidates re
ceiving the highest number Of votes
for councilman shall be deemed nom
mated. Thus the number of candi
dates are boiled down to two for eacI
of the offices and the official balIO
is composed of the two candidates
for mayor who have received tht
highest number of votes and the fou1

\ candidates for counciImen who have
received the highest number of votes
At the election held on the first
1 Tuesday in April all the voters. in
/ the city select from the persons
whose names appear upon the off
cial ballot a mayor and two council
men
The officers so elected viii begin
their terms on the third Tuesday in
April.
The important thing now is to see
that the Commission Plan is adopted
by good large majority on January
30th. The matter of candidates can
be taken care of later on. We appre-
bend there are a very large number
Of persons here in the city who are
working for less than $1,000 a year
who would make first-class officials
under the new plan We think we
could name almost without stopping
twenty-five persons who would be
willing to surrender the positions
they now have and take up the work
in behalf of the city vigorously and
satisfactorily
We think further that when it
comes to selecting candidates that
those persons who are willing to
pledge themselves to devote their
whole time to the duties pertaining
to the office of mayor or councilman
in case of their election will be the
ones who will secure the greatest
number of votes, other things being
any where near equal The law as a,
mended last winter does not require
that in cities of the size of Grand
Rapids the mayor and councilmen
shall devote their whole time to the
duties of their respective offices,
but this can be easily overcome by
selecting those persons who pledge
themselves for the salaries to be
paid to devote their whole time and
attention to the business of the of
flee to which they may be elected.

VOTE FOR THE
COMMISSION PLAN

RumOr has it that the desire on
the part of the citizens for the COM
mission form of government is Great
ed because of personal feeling a.
gainst the present administration and
because of the practice of graft. We
have not heard anyone make any
such statement. There is nothing
personal about this campaign-it is
simply that there is a belief that
the commission form of government
will give better satisfaction from a
business standpoint than the old sys-
TEN.
The ideal is that under the pres
ent system, no matter what the per-
sonnet of the council may be, we can
not get the best business government
It's the same all over the country more
or less and it is the belief that a
change to the commission form of
government will give us the sort of
business administration we want.
1t is useless trying to get outside
manufacturers to come to this city
if We are going to have high taxes.
They won't come. If taxes are high
and no great amount of public 'mprov-
ment has been made, there is poor
business management somewhere
Now, let's get a business administra-
ton and make our city desirable
place for the location of some of the
factories that want to get into small
er cities. Eau Claire, in one year,
under the commission plan has reduc
ed its taxes, paid it's floating debts
saved the people of the city $4,000
a year on water rates and reduced
their bonded Indebtedness over $13,-
900. What Eau Claire has done,
we can do. VOTE FOR THE COM
MISSION FORM OF GOVERNMENT.

MISSION RULE
B. R. GOggins and Prof. Gan
field Discuss Plan Before
Westminster League.

B. R. Goggins, Grand Rapids, Wis,
and Prof. w A. Garfield, Carroll
college, Waukesha, debated the sub
ject of commission form of municipal
government at meeting of the West
minister Civic league Thursday night
Mr. Goggins contended that the
commission form of city management
as exemplified in Eau Claire, Apple
ton, and other cities of this state,
provides the best means for the ex-
preston of a lively, we'll informed
citizenship. Prof. Garfield took the
opposite view. The speakers agreed
that no form of government will avail
unless the citizenship is awake to
its rights and its Obligations
Mr.. Goggins said the new law has
worked we'll thus far in the several
Wisconsin cities mentioned Prof
Garfield retorted that "a new broom
always sweeps clean" and that the
system has had no test of time yet.
