Is to have efficient and economical governmen. in place St the inecient snd exravasan from which. like many other cities has long suffered Whether 1t docs not depends the competency of its manager whether not the five Commissioners who in effect Board of Directors, know what not to do well what to do. and especially whether the citizens of Dayton really want good government which by all citizens do anywhere. In other worlds good government possible under this under almost other plan. might be the best plan with out bringing about that result
 One notices in the dispatches from Dayton frequent mention of certain "boosters organized and morgan ized. backing the innovation If they the right kind of eboosters.e their help will be useful. Of the people who this name. however. there some whose conception of boosting Is loudly vaunt any merits town may have. especially It's natural advant. They resent and oppose that public revelation of municipal evils which is always the first step toward evils which Is always the first step toward remedying them. and the only public expenditures favored by them are those that make a visible showing. Needless brilliant lights Main Street for instance, fill them with delight, but sewers leave them cold.
 It is to be hoped that Daytons boosters" have of civic pride different conception from this; if they have not they will be the Business Managers enemies.
