A NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The form of government proposed by Harry
Murray and favored in essential features by
some members of the charter conventions sub
committee of five, is hybrid. Like another
hybrid, it would have neither pride of ancestry
nor hope Of posterity. 1t would be mwieldy,
Inefficient, probably wasteful and certainly
politics-ridden. ....
The plan TO elect superintendent of city
works is hailed by some of the convention as
an observance of the city manager idea In
reality it is anything but that The city-man-
ager plan is founded on the ideal Of securing
an expert to handle city affairs. The kind of
an expert who would be secured by election in
Honolulu would be an expert in partisan poll
tics Several such experts" already have
their eyeson the prospective job
Reduced to its fundamentals, the commissions
manager plan is this: A limited number of
members of the city's legislative body are
chosen, three or FIVE or seven, preferably FIVE.
These municipal legislators appoint manager
He handles the details of city affairs He has
10 show results, and the commissioners have to
how results or they don't last long in Office.
The manager has not had to go through a
campaign drumming up votes on promises of
patronage and other favors He owes nothing
to partisan politics. His hope for retaining his
Job is notin pleasing a clique or faction of vot-
sfs but in making businesslike record.
Under the Murray scheme there are sixteen
elective Offices. Every elective office means
an opportunity for politics. Adding to the
elective offices means primarily multiplying
the opportunities for politics The Murray
scheme or any, scheme like it will saddle Homo
lulu with charter for politics only. It will
evoke the vicious trading combinations of the.
discredited ward system. 1t will set the city
back twenty-five years in municipal progress.
Some Of the convention members are talking
6Iibly about the impossibility of violent change.
The step from the present system to bona
ide short ballot system is not nearly SO abrupt,
the change will not be nearly 50 violent, as
was the step and the change decade ago from
territorial to county government on this
island.
The opposition on the part of certain
members of the convention to the short ballot
system IS that it ninimizes the opportunities
Ior doing politics in the old way. 1t viii give
less opportunity for exploiting the public SER,
vice. And there are signs that some of the
members are playing on the prejudices Of
others in the hope of beating down the steadily
srowing sentiment in favor of short ballot
system. They may win.
