To the Taxpayers of
Woodbridge Township

Politics in municipal government
are going into the discard. The whole
trend of modern thought is away from
the old spoils system with its idea that
the machinery of civic government is
to be used merely for the benefit or
the office holders as the legitimate
prey OF the victors at the polls. The
people, tired of being thus exploited,
are beginning to demand that their
own interests be considered. Business
efficiency is to be demanded of the
agents of public corporations just as 1t
1t has always been demanded by pri-
vate corporations of their agents.
Woodbridge Township is just begin
ming to learn this lesson. Human ma
prone to take the easiest Wa, to let
government take its own course -
long as its breaches of trust are not
ZOO fragrant. Sometimes 1T takes q
rude shock to wake h voter from
his lethargy. But a shock IN ms
rocket. is one that ordinar,.y
-awas~~e~lm. and the taxpayers Of
Woodbridge Township have just sus-
tanned such q shock. Something is
going to bear the brunt of their wrath
And it looks now as though that some
thing would be the antiquated govern
ment that has caused the big jump.
Politics and high taxes are linked
together just a. ~inseparably as are
non-partisan government and efhclent
management. Woodbridge has had its
taste of the former, and on March 11th
IL will have the opportunity of testing
the latter, which has in its favor the
fact that it has been tried out most
thoroughly in many other cities ana
everywhere has given ample proof OF
it's ability to produce efficiency in the
management of municipal affairs.
A dollars worth in return for every
dollar spent is the record of commits
sion government wherever it has been
tried. And it is not necessary to go
far afield to prive this. New Bruins
wick has been under commission gov
eminent for the past four years. Tren-
ton has had it since 1911. And the
results in both places have been al
together in favor of the sys-
tenn. =.
The fixing of responsibility brought
about by the commission plan OF gov
errment Is the greatest factor in eff
fecting economical administration.
Each department of government Is un-
der one man who is directly RESPONSE
Bile for that department. There is no
evasion nor shifting of blame. II ex-
penses go up in his department ne
must give the voters a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION. and that is the most eff
cacious deterrent OF useless eapehoi-
lures yet devised.
An increased tax bill and q tremen-
dous jump in assessments is all that
The Township taxpayers have received
in return for the pledges made by the
politicians who control the present
Government. The only cure is to dis
card all p~artisanship and to unite In
favor of a purely business administra-
ton of municipal affairs. Government
for the people rather than for the Of
ice-holders is its keynote.
