THE SOCIALISTS, SCHEME

MUNICIPAL misgOvemment in this country, where,
1t admitted it is the in the world everything
considered is due to just thng-the people who have
the largest stake in good government neglect their respon-
si6lites and permit men who make business of politics
take them over. In other words individuals we do not
function well the matter of local government.
That gives certain interest and value to the suggestion
made IN the platform adopted by the Socialist party that
the churches and the ratena organizations and the labor
unions elect representatives whose duty will be 10 meet
and to quote the platform literally represent his organ
zaon framing the desires of that body which they wish
naetedmto laws and present them the board Of Affairs
This city has had for years full ledged initiative and
This provision continued the charter This makes
ii possible for ten per of the registered voters to submit
an ordinance to the city legislative body. But this never
has been brought into play The city government has also
had the benefit of Common Council with veto power, but
this Likewise has never been used.
Whether any better results would be obtainedby setting
up exaegal organization to assist and check up on the
city government is problematical. Off hand we would
say that the greatest weakness of the plan would lie the
fact that most of the organizations entitled to representation
liable not to take the trouble to elect delegates

died down when 1t was discovered he
had stuffed his pockets with ham

Just as the expedition was ready to
start telegram from President Will

was as follows:

plished during my administration.
Would you also be so good as to pre-

Ought representative to be gov

is education in public school bet

us a system of banking advan-

"Can the human mind, by it's own

which was decided in the negative.
