DISADVANTAGES OF
COMMISSION RULE
Sen. Rathbun Tells Pupils That
Borough Govt Has Really
Made Madison.
Especial to the Evening start

MADISON, May 26.-Speaking on
municipal government before the
members of the Madison High School
bun, of this town, scored the commits
sion form of government for a town
such as Madison. In the course of
his remarks he mentioned this form
of rule and stated that there is now
a movement under foot for Its estab-
lishment in this town. While saying
that 1t is good thing in larger
places, where the town or city is d.
yided into wards, he declared that
the plan would certainly be no i'm
provement over The present form in
Madison. He mentioned the three sa-
lient points in the commission law.
incidentally he said:
"If I went into some other town or
city and told them what Madison has
accomplished under Its present form
of government since 1906, they would
be amazed. We have laid about TWEEN
ty-five miles of sidewalk, installed
complete sewer system, acquired gas
and trolley service, made a number
of improvements in the water and
light plant of the borough, dug new
wells and innumerable other things,
besides retiring a large amount OF
the water and light bonds. If [ told
some other towns all these things
they would Immediately want bor-
ough rule. But some people are
never satisfied"
Senator Rathbun's address was on
all forms of community rule, and his
remarks on this one form are only
incidental. although significant, on
account of the movement on foot to
submit the question to the people.
He enumerated all the other forms of
government, wherein they differed,
and the functions of the various gov
erning bodies.
1.-THE latest PLAN" he said, 'is that
of the city manager. I thought that
when our forefathers established this
country they tried to and were get
ting away from one-man rule, but 1t
seems that some favor going back to
that form in a somewhat modified
manner While a city manager plan
may be effective, 1t means tremen-
dous responsibilities for one man, and
is not always satisfactory to all con-
cerned."
