Purse Strings and a Manager EDITORIAL HE FOLKS who are making the most noise about “cutting taxes’ the same folks who recently fought and voted to perpetuate the present wasteful, inefficient political system of city government. It was proposed by forward-looking citizens to wipe out the present wasteful city system and substitute a city manager. The record of the city manager reduces government costs, does away with a lot of pensive politics, furthers economy and makes the present happy-go-lucky hodge-podge of government system is that it into an effective, efficient machine. HAT happens under our present system of government? There's a public roar for tax reduction! “Council, faced with departmental budgets that invariably are not budgets at all, but a collection of clutching fists in a fiscal grab bag, is up against it. With no chance to select intelligently, it takes a cut, slash and hack system, by which many needed improvements are forgotten—to bob up again next year and the year after until they are done. IRE’S the idea, in a nutshell: The city needs, say, ten improvements, $10,000,000. The city manager method is to do these ten things efficiently and in a businesslike manner, cutting costs to the bottom. The city council lops off three improvements, hap- hazard—depending upon whose corns will be trodden on—and_does the other seven in the same old, in- efficient, political w Later on, when the tax-cutting howl has died down, city fathers will slip in “emergency appropriations” and do the three left-out-of-the-budget improveme paying several per cent on the money. What price “economy ‘ cr costing OU can’t have economy of the eity government has both eyes glued to the ack in the political door and both ears surrounded by political headphones. You can have real economy with a city manager- ship that will run a city as it was meant to be run —as a community enterprise for the good of all. when every member Some day Seattle will discover that. W hen it does, taxes will come down permanently and efficiency in government will go up in the same ratio. Investigate Adoption of WILL USE SPECIAL FUEL!
