Meanwhile, a strave poll taken by the Stewart Mailing Co. in scattered precirsets shows a 2 tol semtiment in favor of the city manager Plan, it was announced Saturday, fhe the gang’s against it, it must be good,” was the sentiment! expressed by many.

They are stricken with the heebie-jeebies the moment their system is tampered with. They are stricken with palsy when reform movements gain momentum. And the instant their organization is threatened they fight, and fight hard. All of which explains the determined effort of the “city hall crowd” to defeat the proposed charter amendment ang eeb “| providing for the adoption by Seattle of the city mana- ||ger plan of municipal government. The Star has no quarrel with those sincere, purposeful persons who hesitate to try out the new plan with which progressive cities of the country are rapidly falling in | line. We have been bound by traditional fetters so long that it is hard to imagine ourselves any better off than we are now, no matter on what plan we are governed. So it is small wonder that those who have not studied the plan thoroly anc who have not observed its success- ful operation elsewhere, should pause and shite it .,{| carefully. is the opposition of the Sie politicians” and the lawless element—that’s another story. That’s the : | thing The Star is striking at and it’s the thing that ought to commend the manager plan to thoughtful per- sons if there were no other good reasons for its consid- eration at this time. Ati is cial ctlari natural, of course, that the city hall ” should oppose any move which will upset the seid of special privileges they have taken years to | build up. The big “slush fund” they have raised is not | surprising. And it is perfectly natural that they should pay glib orators and precinct workers to try to influ- ence those on the outside to offer like opposition. Hedged about by a maize of red tape, cumbersome methods, lack of personal responsibility and back-room deliberations, it is easy for the “gang rulers” to perpetu- ate themselves and their questionable system in power. The spoils system cannot thrive under the direct, sim- ple, business administration of the city manager plan. The manager plan is easy to understand. Mr. Aver- age Man, under it, would have a say in city affairs. He would enjoy the privileges now carefully guarded by that inner circle who know the ropes and how to pull them. x OK EAT TEE has drifted along for years under a make- shift form of city government-one that would para- lyze a less prosperous city. We have complained and | threatened, but the “gang,” like a corrupt police depart- || ment, has gone ahead unflinching, secure in the knowl- edge that as long as the old plan remained intact, their organization was safe. Now a plain, business-like American idea in better business management appears on the horizon. Voters | give evidence of acting concertedly to rid themselves of the cancerous “gang rule.” The backroom boys are | panicky. And they Hate reason to be! ° UESDAY at the ait it - will be a battle between the people and the gangsters; between the merit sys- tem and the spoils system. ao
