nance To three-man board. appoint
ed all three for life and each remov.

said +. F. Ingram to The Times to.
day. Mr.. Wits contention Is that
the board should be held to direct
responsibility, SO the people by their
votes can control policies, which is
possible when the mayor Is held re
sponsible, for he can then retain d
popular manager or dismiss him or
decline to do SO, as he wishes. What:
ever he does the people will control
for If the mayor acts contrary TO the
wishes OF the voters the voters will
defeat such a mayor at the next Gle.
ton. replacing him with one that will
carry out their wishes.
This Is the foundation principle OF
the commission form Of government
that has been adopted by $50 citiu
in recent years, and probably Is the
the best way OF securing responsible
ity under our present antiquated char
ter with Its checks and balances and
with It's divided and evaded responsi
bility.
