Yet one of the more conspicuous recent efforts \t self help by a city which surely needs it has struck ' in state partisanship. years ago listed by Lincoln Steffens as among the cities “corrupt and content.” From time to time Philadelphians have sought to remove the conditions *h merited this description. Partisanship always stood in the way. Philadelphia was a citadel of the Republican power which dominated the government of the Keystone State. It was not for nothing that it was the home of Boies Penrose. When the Grand Old Party rule in Pennsylvania was finally broken, Philadelphians of both major par- ties saw an opportunity for a long overdue cleansing A commission spent fifteen months in study and in- vestigation. Tt recommended a new charter providing for a city manager and proportional representation But Pennsylvania law requires legislative approval before the voters of Philadelphia can take a vote to decide if they want the new arrangement, This ap- proval has been denied by the Legislature at Harris- burg, now strongly Republican. A dispatch from the Pennsylvania capital says “the Philadelphia Republi- generally blamed for killing the local - initiative. like Kansas ars are not | and the | A snag To an outsider it would seem that the Pennsyl- vania Republicans, back in power after a Democratic interlude, would have welcomed the opportunity to They could have claimed the Pennsylvania Republicanism does not work that way. It is faithful to the tradition of Penrose and Vare. But municipal misrule in America is the unsavory monopely of no one party. A Democratic Jimmy Walker is matched by a Republican Big Bill Thomp- son. Often a changing of party labels has not im- proved the odor'of a city hall. So Amerigans of all pe s will cheer if an energetic Democratic attorney general help bring vice and crime “in unholy alliance with sanship politics” to trial and con- viction in honest courts.
