The news that a commission of 100
which has been considering the prep.

the city manager plan naturally di-
reefs public attention anew to the
characteristics of that form of govern
ment, TO its dangers and its adyant.
ages.
Nearly 400 American cities have
adopted the original commission form
OF government, and score or more
have been more recently organized un-
der the manager plan.
An analytical study has recently
been made of the two systems, based
not only upon general principles. but
upon practical experience, so far as
We have it, OF the cities which have
adopted them The commission plan
is a relative success ais compared with
older forms Of city government, be-.
cause it is more democratic and SEN
sitive to public opinion; its powers be-
ing unified and responsibility centered
IN the commission. The nonpartisan
short ballot which 1t provides makes
voting easier, and thus sim.
plifies the work III citizenship, render.
ing the politician and his machine
and substituting for the.
boss or oligarchy Of political managers
a democracy In which all the voters
participate. Moreover. the initiative,

made them still more responsive To-
public opinion. The abolition of ward
lines has done much to prevent petty

out these provisions, owing to the con-
eentrati0n of executive authority in
one head 1t might be susceptible to
perversion in the interest OF a boss or
6 political clique in cities with an in
adequate and undeveloped public opin.
ion.
In that case the superior efficiency
OF the manager system may actually
Increase the danger OF boss rule, for
political manipulation who can con-
troll bare majority of the commission
can elect his manager also and there
by control the whole administrator,
impose taxes ad libitum and spend the
money at will
It is, therefore. evident that the
preference OF one system over the 9th.
er Is largely question of the adapt
ability of the particular form to the
habits. the preiudices and the political
situation of the city to which it is to-
be applied. II the manager system
were to be applied at once to cities
where notions or political intrigue
have been deeply ingrained into the
habits of the community and cannot
be eradfcated, the consequences are
likely to be injurious
But where. the city has outgrown
this low form of political life, where
the community has come to regard
city administration as being, in the
main, business administration. there
it is better to choose the manager by
a small representative body and not
by the electorate at large. It is ex.
tremely fortunate that in several hun
dreds of our cities this manager form
has been preceded by the commission
plan. which has performed a great
service in eliminating party politics
and boss rule in many Of the cities |
which have adopted it in accustoming |
the people to business methods of adj
ministration and thereby qualifying
them for the successful adoption OF
the more advanced plan.
