TRAINED OFFICEHOLDERS
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright, 1sl5.)

The founder of a magazine. speaking
not long ago to the students of the Uni
versity of Washington about the aims and
ideals of his publication, said, among
other things:
THE only business we leave to untrain-
ed men in America is the business of gov
ernment. That is the most important
work the magazine did, to call attention
TO that"
If our attention was called in the direc-
ton indicated 1t has wandered some. The
ma activity of organized society, gov
ernment, is still the object of neglect and
indifference.
The only lively interest We take in our
governors is to complain of them.
It is good form and makes interesting
reading to abuse the mayor and curse the
congressman, but 1t is most tiresome to
hear any one advocate some better way
to elect mayor or show us how to choose
filter legislators.
When a man applies for job of bridge
building, of railroad construction, of man.
aging a department store, or of superin-
tending the sales of a factoryS products,
We ask of him just one thing: Can he do
the business? He must prove his ability.
He must produce results.
We don't want him to make a speech,
we don't care a fig for his views on the
tariff and the free co mage of silver. we
don't expect him to shake hands with all
the employees and show that he is good
lelIOW, ana we uOl Sdie "ileliiei ho
smokes or is divorced or is good to his
folks. All we are interested In is
whether he can build the bridge or run
the store so as to show a profit.
Unfortunately, public Office IS the one
kind of job where it takes one kind OF
talent to get the position and quite an
other kind to occupy it successfully. That
a man can go out and get votes has no
bearing whatever upon his fitness to be
best vote-getter is the most incompetent
governor.
And yet government bears on every
citizen. 1t means, shall your food be poi
soned, your tenements insanitary, your
police venal and inefficient, your courts
unjust, your laws bad, your schools poorly
your streets ill-kept? 1t touches
you at thousand points.
And government does not have to be
tyrannous and domineer ng to
be efficacious. Democratic America ought
to have as capable officials as military
Germany. All we need to do is to insist
that the officeholder be chosen because
of his training and fitness for the posi-
ton and not on account of his party
nor his popularity"
We are making beginnings. Some cities
are hiring city managers. searching out
experts for the place, whether they be cit
izens of the town or not. just as railroad
hire general managers with an
eve single to their efficiency.
If only there were schools for public
officials. and if only We could have trained
experts in legislatures and city councils.
what a world of waste and graft would be
saved us!
The curse Of American politics is the
theory that public office is a due reward
for party activity.
