We are democratic in government and must remain so; a commission form of government ts not democratic but autocratic. One man power must be avoided; the recent antics of one of our judges has convinced every right-thinking man that power isa dangerous thing to place in one man’s hands. A city of 300,000 pecple should have a legisiature or a council con. sisting of 50 members at least; that will be one representative to each 6,000 people.
