Senator ThOm-
as Plan

SenatorJ. Elmer Thomas, Of
this city, has issued his first
pamphlet on his plan of govern
ment Of the state by commission. -
1t ie not only very readable, but
a most logical production. With
the consent of Senator Thomas it
is the purpose of this paper to pub
lish this pamphlet in full, for it
sets forth arguments both pro and
con on one Of the questions that is
sure to become prominent, if not
dominant, in the politics of the
state.
1t is not our purpose to discuss
the merits of his plan in this
article, nor to enter into detail as
to what il contains. But we do
desire to say that it is the clearest,
most logical presentation of the
question of government of states
and municipalities by commission
ers, rather than by legislatures.
state officials, and the like, that
we have read.
There is no sort of doubt that
the Senator's ideas will be met
with dispute and contradiction
from many sources. His motives
in promulgating it will no doubt
be impugned. The "old time
democrat" and the "old time re-
publican, the new and aspiring
progressive, and, above and
beyond all others, the socialist
will oppose, ridicule and criticise
the plan. But it is a policy of
government which will appeal TO
the normal minded, normal think.
ing voter and the strength of the
argument in favor of the plan will
increase as it is understood and
thought over.
The doctrine that politics is
business, and the collecting and
paying out of money assessed on
property in the form of taxes is
not something to be dissipated as
graft, is gaining strength every
day. The old plan of choosing men
for office because he is a good
fellow and needs it, is bound to
give way, and one of (which man
will give us the best returns for
the salary we pay him" will take
its place in American politics
before many more years are added
TO our history,

final game. Though the South Siders
got but two hits to eight for the Cubs,
the American Leaguers punched them In
timely fashion and showed over three
runs, one better than their opponents.
This Is the fourth successive city title
the white Sox have won, and their
supporters are loud in their praise.
Jim Scott started for the winners, but
failed to show much class. giving way
