(EDITORIAL) QCPERATING the city of Seattle is, next to the railroads, the biggest business in the State. Added to the normal busi- ness of a city, Seattle operates $75,000,000 worth of publicly-owned utilities, including its street car lines, its water system, and its light system with its Skagit power plant, worth millions. For this enormous business there is no real head. Authority is divided. Our present system of operating doesn’t permit our right hand to know what our left hand is doing. And, spread like a cloud over our whole municipal ownership endeavor is the handi- cap of politics. Progress that we have made has had to be despite this handicap. head of this enormous institution, and to cut the binding cords of politics. At the election March 10 you will vote on the city manager amend. ment to the city charter. This, in brief, provides for hiring a high- class business executive, at a figure that corresponds to that paid executives by Big Business, turning over to him the city government with instructions to “run it wisely, efficiently and economically.” As long as he gets results his job is secure. If he fails the city council, which appoints him, can fire him overnight, and appoint a new manager. The council continues to make the laws and draw ordinances, turning them over to the manager to enforce without fear or favor. The Star has made a careful study of the city manager government. It believes that, ap- plied in Seattle, it will be the greatest step forward in good government that this city has made in years. For Seattle, which has made far more progress in the field of municipal own- ership than most cities, the plan offers, in efficient administration, even more than it will for other big American cities that are adopting it. And they are lining up rapidly—Cleveland, Cincinnati, and just the other day, Kansas City. : As a part of its study of the city manager plan, The Star sought advice from newspaper editors in the larger cities where the plan is now operating. Newspaper editors know! They are not politically concerned, and so are unbiased! Nearly all of these men indorsed the plan heartily and advocated it strongly. That you may have the value of their views, The Star will print their letters daily. The first, from Grand Rapids, Mich., is on the editorial page today. Meantime The Star offers you this advice: GO TO THE POLLS MARCH 10 AND VOTE FOR THE CITY MANAGER AMENDMENT. 5y;216 | May Wheat Passes 'Yeggs Are Busy Here *”*oosic"%in WEATHER Partly cloudy and somewhat colder Ninety Days) sen Given Lad * Hamilton was May wheat Jays in the Pierce nafe-|Weoken into about midnight Sunday|erashed thru the $2 mark today, yo wrecked the|renaching $2.01% per bushel at safe with sledgehammiers. ‘The vault! 10:15. organized gang of ts working in “Seattle, tonight; Tuesday increasing cloudiness and rain by night ta crackers FORECAST |: 3 maf, sated ne ‘a were “cra | morning a |by thieves, who Judge Jeremiah Net This compares with failed to yield to tho attack, The! day's olowy at $1.99%. | Reports that the wheat reserve Batten - discovered} on the farms is much smaller than 2a, m.
