JOHN ". CORBETT
GIVES HIS VIEWS
Mountainair, N. M.
February "a, 1918

February "a, 191;
Editor Estancia News Herald
In the matter of all new de-
partures affecting public policy
differences of opinion are to be
expected. Otherwise there could
be but little progress. That
elusive thing called Public Opin-
ion, which creates legislation, is
fostered by honest discussion.
do not believe much in the eff
cacy of arguing" and it is in
no spirit of controversy that l
follow the suggestion made in
your letter to briefly outline my
ideas about the commission form
of government as contained in a
resolution passed by the County
Development Association at its
last meeting held at Willard. My
objections to the present method
of administering county govern
ment might be summarized as
follows:
l. There are too many county
officers.
2. There is too little harmony
existing, or possible, between
the officers.
8. The administration is unnec-
essarily expensive.
4. There is too little efficiency.
We pay for protection, Gustice)
in taxes and are then compelled
to go into court and pay again,
with no positive assurance of
ever getting justice.
5. Too difficult to locate respons-
ibility. When anything goes
wrong it is too easy to blame the
other fellow.
We are applying scientific man
agement to all kinds of business
except public business in which
most people are interested. AS
l understand the commission
form of government as
now applied to cities,
the usual method is the election
of three commissioners, who,
acting as a board of directors,
or managers, conduct the bust
ness of the municipality as they |
would their own business, in a
businesslike way, with politics
elimated and in a way to get the
greatest degree of efficiency at |
the least possible cost and as far
as | am advised it has been
proven very generally satisfac-
tory. I can see no reason why |
could not adopt the same
plan with equal satisfactory re-
suits. So far as know, the need
of the recall in this form of
has never been felt
but | should not object to this
feature being added. Its very
existence might make its use
unnecessary.
I admit that this is only a re-
form measure. 1t will not cure
all our political ills. The root of
the evil lies deeper but reforms
indicate a healthy condition and
hold out hope for the future.
My sole desire in this matter
is to help bring about a better
condition of things in our coun-
ty and in closing l can describe
my attitude perhaps no better
than to say, Come, let us rea-
son together.
