REMEMBER THE SPECIAL
CHARTER ELECTION
September 30th, 1913.
A VOTE FOR THE NEW
CHARTER
Vote to Permit the People of Min
neapolis to Rule Themselves.
A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE
NEW CHARTER.
WHY MINNEAPOLIS NEEDS A NEW
CHARTER.

SF1AntEHs
/. The present charter is an old
special law dating back to the time
when this city was mere village. II
was revised in 1881 and has been
amended several hundred times since
The result is that the old charter is
long, confused, difficult to understand
and fails to grant to the city many
necessary powers. Is hopelessly out OF
date and is therefore in need of rad
ical revision.
2. The Old charter cannot be
amended by the people. 1t can only
be amended by a general law passed
by the State Legislature. This makes
it difficult to secure such charter
changes as the people really want Sc
long as the city remains on the pres
ent basis.
3. The new charter is written In
clear and concise language, is about
one-fourth as long as the old one
grants to the city complete power oi
local self government and introduces
home rule and all the latest improve
ment in city governments that have
been tested in other cities and found
to be successful, including the com
mission plan. initiative, referendum
recall, civil service, budget system
separate city election, preferential
voting, non-partison ballot and nomina
tion by petition.
4. The new charter secures home
rule for Minneapolis. The people by
adopting it will secure the right to
amend or revise their charter at will
Amendments may be prepared by the
charter commission, or by petition
signed by five per cent of the voters
which must be approved at a general
or special election.
5. After the new charter is adopted
it will not be necessary for our rep.
resentatives in the Legislature to
spend their time in getting numerous
Minneapolis bills passed, when they
ought to be free to protect the city's
larger interest in the State.
