Washington * by Mall, 94.00 The Seattle Star INORKER CRUSHED TO DEATH Ex Ail * BUSINESS MAN OR TOOTH-PULLING BARBER? EDITORIAL TE issue is simple in this city manager campaign. Stripped of the camouflage with which _ its enemies have tried to paint it, it gets down to this: Do you want “gang politics” or do you want an ef- ficient |>usiness administration? Do you want a “machine” that must play politics to survive, or do you want a manager whose job depends entirely upon the efficiency with which he runs the city! The Star believes this city is “fed up” on gang politics. It believes people are tired of listening to stories of graft among policemen, of “protection money” paid by illicit businesses, of “greasepots” made up by persons claiming to have “a connection” which would “procure favors.” The Star believes the voters will consider these stories when called upon by uniformed police- men and other organized city employes to vote against the manager plan. It believes that this plan, which you will vote upon Tuesday, offers the way out! % OU, as a taxpayer, are a stockholder in a great going concern with more than $130,000,000 invest- ed—with $75,000,000 worth of public utilities alone. It’s up to you to select a head for this company of yours. Do you prefer a hard-headed business execu- tive, trained to business BY methods, who knows noth- ing about politics but who is attracted to the job by the salary it holds forth? Or would you prefer a tooth-pulling barber, who DOSSIBLY you do not know 1 mains closer to the people than | the old aldermanic system did. | It corresponds to the govern ment of a big business institu | th commissioners, or | € . are the trustees re- < the general public, They choose the city manager, Henry J. Allen, But every He pub- Beacon, newspaperman does, lishes the Wich Wichita, Kan. Mr. Allen says of ager plan, as Wichita finds it, in s in a letter to The Star: who is responsible to these has to get and keep the job "i fecsru"wn" iy “manager frosts, tthe “ruses “are in turn responsible to the peo- plan of government as the best advance municipal government has made in the United States. In Wichita it hax not increas ed our tax levy, but it has mut tiplied our phblic improvements 500 times, and it hax come nearer getting us a dollar's worth of service for every doliar of the taxpayers’ money than | any form of government we | } ple. “The recall petition gives both {| the people and the members of | the government a consciousness | that the government is on trial | and must keep close to the | wishes of a majority of the vet- | ers. It individualizes the re | sponsibility within a few hands, amd this individualization sharp- ens the point of contact be tween the government and the people. “Wichita has forms of government. was the old aldermanic system, which was the most careless and wasteful we have ever known. Then, In hope of a reformation, we went to the commission form of govern by playing politics? Did you ever hear of any of the transcontinental railroads electing a dentist to the president’s chair? Has a dentist ever been president of any of the big Seattle banks? No matter how excellent a dentist he may be, the ever have had. “The belief that the city manager plan makes for an alr tight political machine iy exact ly what the city manager plan of government has NOT done | | | | | | tried three | The first ! here.

After four years of a fairly satisfactory experience with the ission form, we went to the elty manager plan. Not withstanding the fact that three efforts have been made by the politicians WHO ARE Ale WAYS OPPOSED TO IT, to throw the matter into a reeall election, the consent of the vot- ers has net been obtained. “The statement of enemies of the plan that most of the cities where the manager plan has been tried are now ready to give it up, is far from any facts which I have been able to as- certain. Something like 350 cities have now adopted the city manager plan, I've only heard of three cities where they have gone back to the political sys tem of control.” Yours very truly, HENRY J. ALLEN, Publis! » Wichita Beacon. railroad is going to entrust its business to a practical railroad man; the bank is going to confine its eligibles to bankers. That is why we, searching for capability in directing our own big business, should confine our eligible list to experienced business executives. T= city council, under the manager plan, continues to make the laws, as always. The city manager, unhampered by red tape, administers them. No more need for squabbles between departments as to what should and what should not be done. No more need for the executive to count the cost in votes, one way or the other, before he acts. If he fails, the council can fire him. If the council fails to fire him when he fails, the people can recall the councilmen. What could be more simple? No council majority could unfairly control a mana- ger. Experience has shown it is impossible to keep any council “organized.” New splits occur on almost every ordinance introduced. Even if there were an organi- zation sustained sufficiently long, it would have to bow to the will of public opin- ion, for the public holds the fate of the councilmen in its hands. A city manager makes for CLEAN government, EFFICIENT government, SIMPLIFIED government, BUSINESSLIKE _ govern- ment. That’s why The Star is for it! And that’s why the “gang politicians” to a man, are against it! Vote for It Tuesday! TWO CENTS IN IHOME EDITION SEATTLE.
