Terre Haute Post

AtFTt hdufC lueh
John w. Esterline, chairman of
the Indianapolis city manager
league, told a Statewide city
manager meeting that Indiana
slowly is slipping behind the Ma
ton in the march Of progress Of
American cities"
That's a challenge to Hoosier
cities that must be met. A few
Indiana cities have met it by dis
carding the old mayor-council
system and installing the city
manager system. indianapolis
voted five to one for the city man
ager plan, but can not install it
until 1880.
The voters of Vigo County
should not forget the part that
Senator Sims of Vigo County has
played in the city manager set
up in Indiana. When the last
Legislature was in session strong
movements for the city manager
plan were on in Evansville and
indianapolis.
The thinking and progressive
citizens in these cities we're tired
of boss rule. The politicians in the
saddle in these cities figured out
a scheme to block the city man
ager sentiment.
An amendment to the city man
ager law was prepared which
made it impossible for a city to
install a city manager form of
government until the incumbent
administration had served out its
term.
That amendment was fostered
by Senator Sims of Vigo County.
1t was passed in the house and
senate and became law with the
signature of Governor Jackson.
That means that Indianapolis,
Evansville, Terre Haute can not
have a manager form of govern
ment until January, 1880. That
amendment also means that if
Terre Haute or any other Indiana
city hasn't voted for a city man
ager and isn't otherwise ready to
install it by 1880 they are barred
from putting in the plan for an
other four years, or until 1884.
The passage of this amendment
is one reason why Indiana cities
are slipping behind the nation in
the progress of American cities"
KOkomO Dispatch
An amusing thing if it were not
serious enough, possibly, to fool
a few voters here and there, is
the antics of some politicians and
newspapers in Indiana seeking to
discredit the candidacy of Her.
bert Hoover for the Republican
presidential nomination. 1t is
amusing to those who know the
motives behind these tactics; real
ize the hidden meaning of it all,
and compare the personal quail

Municipal Ownership

New York is headed for municipal
ownership, or such centralized
control as will amount to the same
thing in her transportation system.
She has come to a point where
lack of unification and conflict of
interest promise too much dis
turbance to be tolerated.
With half a dozen private COM
panies struggling for existence,
with the city financing the subways
through which they run, and hold
ing the bag, if they lose, with uni
fication inevitable and no private
concern big enough or bold enough
to undertake it, with the public
committed to a nickel fare, no mat
ter what happens, with most Of the
transportation workers underpaid
and labor troubles constantly
threatening and with INSCRIPTIONS
politicians ready to take adj
vantage of any and all develop
ments, New York faces a difficult
situation.

Fear of Scrap Heap

Private companies would like to
get rid of those lines that are go
ing out of date and losing revenue.
but those are just the ones the city
does not want to take.
Get that idea straight, and you
have fathomed the controversy.
New York surface cars are losing
traffic, elevated lines do not pay
we'll Subways show increased earn
ings and BUSES are becoming mere
common.
Those who own stock in one or
another of the operating compa-
MES see which way the wind is
blowing and work accordingly.
Some lines probably are headed for
the scrap heap. Others promise big
ger returns than ever, provided
some inventor does not do to them
what Henry Ford did to Old Dob
bin.
What New York needs for guild
ance is engineers, not politicians.

Of his attackers. 1t is as though
a dwarf were challenging the
side-show giant to battle.
Mr.. Hoover is not, of course, an
eminent politician-merely an
eminent, although very human
person. The chances are that
those who are asSailing him could
give him cards and spades and
beat him in the political casino
game, but there is quite a common
belief that maybe a good many

It is a situation, however. which
goes with the modern city and which
rapidly is assuming a more and
more important part in city develop
ment.
How New York meets it will have
a profound influence throughout

meets it will have a profound in

Marvel of Safety

Wherever the engineer has been
let alone, he has made a good job
of it.
Last year the New York transpor-
tation lines carried more than three
billion passengers, with not a single
death and only fourteen injuries.
So far as safety goes, the New
York transportation system looks
like the biggest thing man has ever
achieved.
Outside of that, it looks like the
biggest mess.
