In the commission plan, generally
regarded as the pure form, there are
ten essentials, every one of which
are considered vital by the most au-
thoritative students of the plan.
These essentials are made as follows:
Instead Of having a Board of
Councilmen and Alderman to pass
ordinances subject to the approval
of Mayor or themselves only, there
| is commission of five persons to
pass ordinances, subject to the ap-
proval of the voters of the city, with
no veto power in the Mayor.
2 Non-partisan primary at the
expense of the city to select nomi-
nees, thus encouraging good men to
become candidates and taking away
from the political bosses the privi-
lege of saying who shall be the nom
inees.
| Non-partisan ballot, on which
all nominees are placed, without any
party emblem, thus practically pro-
viding for special investigation as to
the best men to vote for.
a The Recall of the Mayor or any
Commissioner in case of misconduct,
inability or neglect in the perform
ance of his duties, for which any of
them may be removed from office by
the majority vote of the citizens. If
the Mayor or any commissioner be
removed from Office, the reason for
such removal shall be stated in writ
ing and shall be filed as public
record. Any voter can circulate a
petition at any time calling for a
special election for the recall of any
commissioner. A certain percentage
of votes cast at the last general cleo
ton must be respected by the signers
of this petition before the special
election for the recall of any COM
missioner can be called.
5 Provision for Referendum, I'M
der which 25 per cent of the voters
may protest against the adoption of
any ordinance, and if the same is not
then repealed by the Commission it
may be voted on by the people at
large as to whether or not it shall go
into effect.
6 Provisions for Initiative under
which any ordinance that the COM
mission may legally pass may be
adopted by vote of the people at
large, if the Commission refuses to
pass it after receiving apetition from
rs per cent of the voters requesting
them to do so.
Z Each Commissioner is to be a
superintendent of department of
the city, but he has no knowledge
before the election to which depart
ment he may be assigned; therefore
he cannot promise with any certainty
any positions on the police or fire de-
partments or otherwise. thus pre-
venting employees of the various de-
partments favoring any particular
candidate.
8 Civil service governing police
men and fremen and other city EN-
ployes.
8 The duties and salaries of en-
ployes shall be fixed by ordinance.
thus permitting the people to vote
on them if they consider them inn
proper.
10 Every ordinance involving the
expenditure of more than 81 900 or
granting any franchise or right to
use or occupy the streets, shall, after

a new question and is of far-reaching
Importance, involving the regulation
of telephones by franchise outside of

the telephone company.
