TEN is a step in the direction of eliminating
national and State politics from city affairs
The fact is that clean streets. for example,
have nothing whatever to do with the Fed
eral customs tariff. and the man who might
have the soundest views on that subject
might very well be unable to discharge the
duties Of mayor. let us say. City govern
ment should have nothing to do with ma
tional issues, although most men vote in city
elections quite as though the fate OF their
national party were at stake.
Commission government tends to make the
voters think i'll terms Of the city, instead of
in terms of the ward. In noncommission
cities the age citizen thinks his whole
duty is done when he has voted for an alder
man. He expects the alderman to get
things for his particular ward, even if the
city as whole should suffer thereby. That
is very bad for a city, and is less likely to
prevail when the government is made up of
q few men who look to the city as a whole
for approval
Some commissions governed cities have
demonstrated that ward politicians do not die
off merely because the aldermanic system is
abolished. But even i'm those cities the
thoughtful citizens agreed that commits
