CITIZEN DEFENDS THE
PROPOSED FORM Of
COMMISSION GOVERNMENT

UUIIlIIlIUUIUV UUUllIlvIlINI
To the Editor OF the Lakeland Tele-
gram:
Saturday evening an article ap-
peared in your paper in the tenor of
an inquiry relative to Lakeland's
proposed commission form of govern
ment.
With spirit much the same, this
letter is written.
Satisfying was the observation
that the writer of the article had
studied forms of commission govern
ment. He truly bespoke in every
phrase, the spirit of the good citi-
zen. care to say in this connec-
ton that shared his opinion of the
form proposed for Lakeland. Upon
consideration, however, my opinion
changed
All considered, believe, the form
proposed exceptional. What does
the phrase commission form of
government" mean? All agree that
1t refers to the manner Of exercising
the powers given city by the State
In essence it means that the old no.
ton Of divided governmental power
is denied essential to government.
Corporations long ago recognized.
despite direction to the contrary In
their charters, that it was an ineffi-
cient manner of division; that it en-
tailed inconsistencies and duplica-
tion OF duty and consequent neglect
for lack of definite placing of re-
sponsibility. 1t may with truth be
said that commission government for
cities is delayed recognition of cor
poration efficiency. Men versed
upon the subject assert that the
nearer the similarity to corporation
forms the greater the chance of sue
cess
As there is no single form of cor
poratiOn government or management
ever good, so there is no form of com
mission government ever good.
! Which kind of commission govern
! mcnt is to be adopted is a question
of the circumstances attendant.
LARGELY The question of individual
, needs stating the idea in other
words is the question considered
when form of commission govern
ment has been framed, the determin-
alton of which concludes the body to
determine Therein is the gist of the
answer to the question, why is
l.akcanh's form different from some
othcrs?" Conditions in Lakeland
are different, real and such as exist
by virtue Of the charter by which the
city exists.
Why a salary of 500 for commits
soners?
First, because good men think it
their duty to serve in public capacity
for which there is need of their SER
vice remuneration being merely
secondary consideration.
Second, their work WILL If they
act as it is desired they shall, be
largely supervisory since it is de
sired that an efficient city manager
shall be appointed And more GER
tain is his appointment because OF
the small salary given the commits
soners. But reasonably it might
be asked if the people desired a
municipal manager, why was not
the question submitted in express
form. | have determined that the
charter of the city stands in the
way, requiring five commissioners
who have the power to determine
whether or not there shall be a city
manager. The trainers of the form,
| under.tanH now, did all possible to
avail the people of bcttcrment under
a charter worth little for any form
Of government ! know that il is a
document the meaning of which can

Nashville Tennessee October I7-Three of the
so-called Prohibition law enforcement measures which
this present extra session of the Tennessee legislature
was summoned to consider, had passed both houses
when adjournment was taken and require only the
signature of Governor Hooper to make them part of
the law of the state.
The first prohibits the shipment of liquor into the
state the second prohibits ntrastate shipment of
liquor, fixing responsibility for the laws enforcement
upon officers of the county in which such shipment
may be made, and the third provides that saloons.
