RAW around, gentlemen of the charter commission, and let us talk this matter over in a reminiscent vein. You have refused to reconsider your 30-ward-council-general-manager plan The Star is convinced that the people won't stand for a return to the ward- representation system. They remember, if you don't, the “good old days” of ward councilmen. : In The Star's opinion you will have your trouble for your pains. * * & & A C'TORNEY TOM REVELLE was councilman for the Seventh ward in the “good old days.” “There were,” says Revelle, “just as many honest men and just as many dishonest men in politics then as now. But it was hard to stay honest. Every- body—clergymen and laymen, busy men and idlers, honest men and thieves— played the game the same way “My ward said to me, in effect: ‘Get for me the things I want, and I'll re- elect you. Otherwise I won't.’ Other wards said the same thing to their council- men. Every ward wanted all it could get “My ward wanted—-and needed—$12,000 worth of paving Another ward wanted a branch library. Both wants were legitimate “But somebody else wanted to give his friends a contract to collect garbage. And still another wanted the city to buy a certain tract of land. These deals had a rotten look ah i “Most of us were honest. A few were not. The dishonest few held a club over the honest majority ““If’ they said, ‘you don’t vote for the garbage collection contract and the land holdup, you won't get your paving and your branch library.’ “We, who were honest, could see nothing but the néeds and desires of the small communities that held our political destinies in their grasp. We may have suspected the garbage deal was rotten, but we weren't always sure; and, anyhow, to save wear and tear on our conscience, we didn’t want to be sure. “SWE TRADID. “WE LOG-ROLLED. ‘Tl vote for} your measure,’ we said, ‘if you'll vote for mine.’ “So I got the paving for my ward, whether it needed it or not. got the branch library for his ward, whether it deserved it or not. bage contract was handed to somebody else's friends. thousands more than its value “And so the merry game of looting the general fund went on until the whole miserable system sickened me.
