POLITICS IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT .

JGroups Spur Good Government:

By JOSEPH E. McLEAN S A FIRST step toward increasing his influence, the citizen should learn how elections are conducted. Your state has by law fixed certain policies on registration; on absentee voting; on the conduct of primary

and general elections; on age, residence, and other requirements of a voter. A citizen can easily obtain the information from his city

or county clerk.

As you get this information and prepare to cast your vote, you may be looking toward one or more political ideals you would like to attain in your town, in your state, or in the

| nation.

What do you want to do with your political influence? Get better schools? Get a -better return on your tax dollar? See that better men are put in office? Improve the form of your city government? Amend your

| state constitution?

= = » NO MATTER what your motive, it is ‘safe to say in many other parts of the U. S. citizens have worked or are

| working for similar goals.

Much can be learned from

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Bentley furnished much of the leadership and, with others, established a City Charter Committee. This group succeeded in winning a new charter providing for a council-manager plan of government. The charter committee is still active as a nonpartisan citizens’ group and is very much alive after a quarter-century of vigorous activity. And Cincinnati has good government.

Portland, Ore. offers additional evidence. Mrs. Dorothy M. Lee was elected mayor in May, 1948. Three years after she took the oath of office, she had cleaned up the city, sent the slot machines to the dump heap, closed the brothels, scattered the dice games, and created whatdg accepted as a truly honest police force. She saw that the city budget was balanced and that the downtown traffic problem was

A, Randall, of Brownsville, Tex, found the city's garbage ordinance was not being enforced even in the face of a threatened polio epidemic, she became a ‘political pilgrim.’ She got the League of Women Voters to organize the “Alley Annies,” who patrolled the town, noted violations, checked police records and court blotters. Results: Citizens’ groups were formed, metal garbage containers appeared, the num-

portance of the group activity which i8 needed to complement the “voting” activity cf the good citizen, To attain your goal you may need to take part in the election process or you may have to “pressure” your public officlals. Or you may need to do | both. In any event, you may initiate action as 7n individual, whose example en attracts the support of an increasing number of fellow citizens. The result is organized action-—pol-itics—to achieve a goal. !
