Government

Manager Plan of

Compared With City Commission

BY WILLIAM DUDLEY FOULKE. Former U. S. Civil Service Commissioner; Chairman Special Committee of National Civil Service Reform" Leagde! President National Municipal League.' The news that a commission of one hundred which has been considering the preparation of a new charter for Springfield. ,MassacbuseUst has now recommended the city manager plan naturally directs public attention anew to the characteristics of that' form of government and to its dangers and its advantages. Nearly 400 American cities have adopted -the original Commission form of government and a score or more have more recently organized under the manager plan. Comparative Study. An analytical study has recently been made of the two systems, based not only upon general principles, but upon the practical experience, so far as we have It, of the cities which have adopted them. The commission plan i3 a relative success as compared with older, forms . of . city, government because it Is . more democratic .and sensitive to public opinion; its powers being unified and responsibility centered in the commission. The nonpartisan short ballot -which it provides makes intelligent voting- easier and thus simplifies the work of citizenship, rendering the politician and his machine superfluous and substituting for the boss or oligarchy of political managers a democracy in which all the voters participate. Moreover, the initiative, referendum and recall adopted have mado them . still , .more re-. spon6ive to public opinion. The abolition of ward lines has done much to prevent petty logrolling and emphasize the unity of city interests, while an independent civil service commission, has done much to remove city employes from political influence. In 'cities of moderate size, at least, commission government has shown by experience that it is preferable to the systems previously existing, but we do not yet know the maximum population of tije cities which may wisely adopt it. Encourages Expert. Th rnmmlsBion-manascer lan. is a

valuable addition to the commission plan, inasmuch as it creates an administrative establishment under a single head instead of five, and thus makes for harmony in administration. It also encourages the employment of an expert at the city's head with comparative permanence in office, thus insuring that, greater stability and continuity both of personnel and of

policies so necessary to solid and enduring reforms and to -the carrying out of far-sighted projects; and it thereby encourages city executives ' to educate themselves seriously in municipal affairs with the prospect of promotion from one city to another (as in Germany) thus opening up a new profession in city administration and encouraging the interchange of experience among different cities: The manager plan avoids the confusion of the commission plan between the responsibility of the individual commissioners and the commission as a whole and thus makes for better discipline. It is adapted to large cities as well as small ones and permits of proportional representation' or election by districts which might become necessary in cities of great size. Heads Must Be Watched. It is of the highest importance that any city adopting the manager plan should not omit any of the auxiliary features accompanying it, since without these provisions, owing to the concentration of executive authority in one head it might be susceptible to perversion in the interest of a boss or a political, clique in cities "with an inadequate and undeveloped . public opinion. In that case, the superior efficiency of the manager system may actually increase the -danger of.boss rijle, for a political manipulator who 'can' controla bare majority of the commission can elect his mana ger also and thereby control the vrhole administration, impose taxes ad libitum and spend the money at will. " Citys' Needs Govern.'

It is therefore evident that the.(

preference or one system over tne other is largely a question of the adaptability of the particular form to the habits, the prejudices and the political condition of the city to which it is to be applied. If the manager system were to be applied at once to cities where notions of political intrigue have been deeply ingrained into the habits of the community and can

not be eradicated, the consequences are likely to be injurious.,. '.' But where the city, .has outgrown this low. form of political life, where the community has- come, to regard city administration as being, in the main, business ... administration, there it is better to chose the manager, by a, small representative body and not by the electorate at large. It is extremely fortunate that in several hundred of our cities this manager form has been preceded by the commission plan, which has performed a great service in eliminating party politics and boss rule in many of the cities which have adopted it in accustoming the people to business methods of administration and thereby qualifying them for the successful adoption of the more advanced plan.

"It has been used by myself and other members of my family time and time again during the past six years and has always given the . best of satisfaction." ..The quick relief from pain which Chamberlain's Liniment affords is alone worth many times the cost.

Editor; Palladium:' . . ; , It seems to me - tbe point In the American Friends is . clearly made? That an armed nation is- a dare to other nations? -. . ; . We certainly could not3 thinks our

neighbor our friend who incessantly

watched us across tbe yard fence with a gun in his hand, but If the American Friend stands for the present economic and Industrial system, It certainly stands for a system "that 'wars on its own ' hearthstone." ....... ! The seeds of war spring from the very . base of any economic structure that presupposes the exploiter and. the exploited. ,

r Under the present system there is

nothing to curb the , greed of the employers. The unemployed we have

with us always, willing to work for any wage rather than beg steal or

starvei The- employers thereby have

it in their power to reduce the wage to a mere subsistence fund; 9hd the resistless incentive of their avarice tq do so. And should the working class

tamely consent to the employers work

ing their wills, redaction would follow reduction of -wages until starvation

overtook them all. Will some saintly soul who exhorts us "to love our neighbor as ourselves," kindly tell us how it is possible to have industrial peace under such a system? . . : And Just as the economic structure of capitalist society engenders class hatred and industrial wars, it likewise destroys the amity of nations. c' In all modern nations economic evolution has placed r the , dominating wealth in the hands of a few moneyed lords. And as, Hamilton bluntly put It. "That power which holds the purse strings absolutely must rule." And that power in this country now hopes, by taking advantage of the war situation, to make itself the economic master, of the world. The ruling class to do this must use. the government to get foreign markets and hold them, control arteries, of. commerce, protect their foreign .investments, and act as, their collecting attorney. They therefore must have a large navy. And to maintain the present system, there is nothing in. store. for. the people but a deeper and more hopeless poverty They must have a large army to crush the exasperated people should they rebel. Hence, their answer to peace advocates in this-country, will be as it has been in other hands, "militarism." Under the guise of "preparations for defense," they are now setting the stage for another bloody tragedy when the European cataclysm shall end. And in this, perhaps the darkest hour in all the blood begrimed history of the human race, may we not hope the people teay jSli(?the necessity of bringing a speedy end, a system that can give them only abysmal poverty, war and death?

"fRAMERS Of THl CONSTITUTION OFTHS US. A."

Georgelishington Father of His Country1

EERY AMERICAN knows that without "Immortal Washington our National Independence would have been impossible, Few, however, know that the greatest battle of Xhington s life was fought to secure for his countrymen the Constitution of die United States. Almost immediately after the Revolution it seemed that all the great sacrifice of blood and treasure had been in vain. The original thirteen states refused to work in harmony, either in spirit or in law. The new Republic was tottering to its foundations. At this critical period in American history the most brilliant men of each state met in convention and unanimously elected V4shington as Resident undoubtedly the most momentous gathering of the kind the wxid has ever known. Here he displayed as great ability as law-maker as he had as a warrior. For months the Fathers of the Republic labored, and finally adopted our present National Law. which forever guarantees Retigks,Ccminerdal and Rrsonal Liberty. This was in 1787. Seventy years later Anheuser-Busch established their great institution upon the tenets of the Federal lav which Washington did so much to create. Like all of the gnat men of his time, he was a moderate user of good old barley brews, ror three generations Anheuser-Busch have brewed honest malt and hop beers. To-day 7500 people are daily employed to keep pace with the ever-increasing public demand. The great popularity of their famous brand BUDWEISER, due to quality, purity; mildness and exquisite flavor, has made its sales exceed those of any enherbeer by rrallionsof bottles. - ANHSJSEa-BUSCH-SCLOUIS,O.S.A.
