sufficiently TO pay for these
services. A City Manager would
have nothing 10 do with wheth-
er or not these services were
given at all.
Also, do not forget that the
war forces some curtailment of
municipal services, the same as
it does in any private business
or establishment. municipalities
suffer from material and man.
power shortages as much as pri-
vate businesses. So, we ask our
citizens to give this matter some
thought, and not be sWayed by
arguments which have no bear
ing whatsoever upon the ques-
ton OF form of government.
CANNED AMMUNITION
We also might state that every
argument made for the City
Manager form of government
has been lifted bodily out of a
group of pamphlets issued by an
organization known as the Ma
tional Municipal League. which
is an organization existing ad-
mittedly for the sole purpose of
promoting City Manager gov
eminent, and jobs for City Man.
ayers, Every time a city decides
TO revise its charter for some
purpose, this organization i'm
mediately gets on the job and
floods the citizens with litera-
ture promoting the City Man
ager form of government, just
AS they have done in Mount
Clemens, hoping thereby to add
another City Manager city to
their list. Naturally, they pre-
sent it in the most favorable light
they can. The other side Of the
story is not presented - but the
citizens in the towns where their
agitation is presented must rely
on their own information, ex-
perience, and judgment to OBJ
tain the other side.
COST FACTOR
One of the things these one
sided pamphlets fail to tell is the
cost to the taxpayers of this
form of government. We have
already demonstrated to our cit
liens by facts and figures that
our neighboring City Manager
cities cost their taxpayers any
where from one and one half to
two and one half times as much
per person as our City Commits
sion city costs our taxpayers.
And in all fairness let us ask
what have Royal Oak, Ferndale,
and Birmingham got that we
haven't got? We know they have
a City Manager, more debt, and
great deal more taxes! But
they furnish approximately the
same services to their citizens as
Mount Clemens does, but at
considerable more cast to the
taxpayer! These are cities the
advocates of City Manager gov
eminent hold up as shining ex-
amples that we should copy. But
we ask why - in view of what
they cost their taxpayers
Another city held up as
shining example by City Mana
ger advocates is Port Huron. But
City Manager government costs
the taxpayers in Port Huron
$16.22 per person per year, or
one and half times as much
as city government costs in
Mount Clemens. So again we
ask, why should we copy Port
Huron?
WANT TAX BOOST?
So, particularly you people in
Mount Clemens who are home
owners and property owners in
our city, and thus pay the costs
of city government, do you want
TO vote for a form of govern
ment which experience has
shown will be almost certain to

SUITED TO PURPOSE
When the against author
chose three manager cities 30
use as examples he felt that he
picked ones we'll suited 10 his
purpose.
Let's introduce a little horse
sense" into this discussion on
taxes so we don't get caught
with a horse that is blind
One thing the voter viii want
10 know is: Under the Council
Manager plan does the council
elected by the people levy taxes
and set tax rates or does the
manager do that? Let IT be
clearly understood that the
commission or council does that,
not the manager. The manager 5
job is to spend efficiently that
money allotted TO him by the
commission. He has no author
ity TO increase costs; that is a
policy making job, not admin
istration. Even in the three
cities quoted by Against the
commissions in those manager
cities set the tax rates. If that Is
good argument, then it is just as
REASONABLE TO argue that some
of the few remaining commits
sion governments in Michigan
are bad, because they also have
higher tax rates than Mount
Clemens.
1913 TAX LIST
The writer has before HIM a
list Of 90 cities in Michigan
with the total tax per $1,000 as
sessed valuation as furnished by
the Michigan Tax Study Advls-
DRY Committee of l. II n z.
These figures are for 1913. OF
course il must be born in mind
that tax rate per $1,000 is not
the whole answer. The assessed
valuation enters into the tax
bill. If you have a house and lot
worth 100000 and if it were
located in Grand Rapids and as
sessed at 100000 at their 1913
tax rate of 1898, your tax bill
would be $685.; but if 1t were
in Mount Clemens and assessed
at 100000 your tax bill at our
1913 rate Of S27.62, your tax bill
would be Sl1048. So you see
you have to have complete in
formation to judge tax rates.
Our opponent cited three
manager cities, namely. Fern
dale with a tax rate of S4460;
Royal Oak with $43.97, and
Birmingham with SAP l6. He
forgot to tell you what they get
per $l.00 paid in comparison
with what we get for Sl.0O
paid! Let us suppose that IN
Birmingham, for instance, they
have the cost of garbage collec-
ton in their tax cost which we
don't, then we realize that when
we who have TO have our gar
bage cost taken out Of our pri-
vate pocketbooks at from $500
to $1,000 a year, WE DON'T
HAVE A FAIR COMPARISON!
NOT FAIR COMPARISON
If any of these three cities
have a year round recreation
program in their tax cost and
thereby save money for the
folks by less child delinquency,
and we have less for the kids,
WE DON'T HAVE A FAIR
COMPARISON. If they have
milk inspection and save cost to
your private pocketbook from
doctor bills, then WE DON'T
HAVE A FAIR COMPARISON
NOW LET'S BE FAIR, and
give the voters a look at a num-
Der of manager cities both high
er and lower than ours. Remcm-
Der these are figures for 1913
and our rate overall was S27.62
per $1,000. Here are some OF

have figured out for themselves
a healthy respect for the United
States and have learned some
lessons they aren't going to for
get.
Without knowing it, the Ger
man PW's have been encourag-
ed to suck this wisdom out OF
their thumbs. Won Arnim, for
instance. along with his fellow
general prisoners, got informa-
ton about the United States -
information of the type that
would do them the most good.
COULDN'T TALK
Up until now, says Maj. Gen.
Archer l.. Lerch, the Provost
Marshal General, the Army has
been unable to talk about re-
educating German prisoners in
this country. Army has been
damned all over the lot for not
doing anything about this while
actually it has been doing lot
But it couldn't talk for two rea-
sons. First and foremost, il
didn't want the German prison
ers to know that they were be-
ing re-oriented on some of then
Nazi ideas. Now that Germany
is defeated that doesn't make
any difference.
Second, it was feared a few
loud-mouthed elements in the
United States would misunder
stand what was being done and
just to stir up a little excite
ment, would start yelling tina
the Nazi prisoners were beinl
mollycoddled. Also, we wanted
no retaliation.
Major General Lerch. head o
the Military Police, and his dep
uty. Brig. Gen. B M. Bryan, i
charge of the $50 prisoners @
war base camps and $50 branc
camps in this country, are n
softics. They are tough cops. an
have 10 be. Put yourself in thei
shoes. Would you give the orde
to shoot German prisoners c
war? Make it even simpler tina
that. Would you yourself b
willing to 60 out and shoot thos
prisoners. ruthlessly, as the Ger
mans shot down $50 Y. S. pri'
oners during the Battle of tn
Bulge last winter?
One other punishment thu
might have been melted out I
the German PW's in retaliatio
would have been to order thei
put on bread and water. Ho'
much work could have been go
ten out Of the prisoners on tn;
diet? The Army policy has col
sistently followed the line of gi'
ing them enough calories to g
good days work out OF then
and to work them 10 hours
day whenever and wherever
could.
On the side. the policy hi
been to feed them little hea
thy theology to stimulate an a
,itude Of respect for the Unite
States and its institutions. To b
