COMMISSION AND MANAGER ;
PLAN of coun rx uuviainiMisni
MARIETTA NEWS . MATTERS.
(Continued from page three)
gone back' to our antiquated system.
There is a bill now peending in the
Legislature of Louisiana to put that
State under a similar form. The Gov
ernor of Kansas is advocating it foi
that State. Our own model city of
Charlotte is now considering this for
plan' A writer for the July Worlds
Work says: in the first ten minutes he
sat in the Trenton, N. J., council room
he saw business transacted that would
not have been concluded in less than
three months under the old system.
Since the commission form was estab
lished at Trenton three years ago
fifteen other New Jersey cities have
established it. He says though he
tried he did not find a single man in
Trenton who could giye a single in
stance where commission government
had failed. He says further that it
has been successful in towns of one
thousand and cities of four hundred
thousand and mcy solve New York's
municipal problems. He says also
that the Trenton government places
responsibility where it can't be shirk
ed. Every voter can know who is
responsible, and its success lies more
in the form than in the men. Do you
want it? If you do, it's only a ques
tion of effort and time. We must have
improvements from some source and
I offer this us best I can find.
In conclusion, I have heard that
some had asked why I was advocat
ing this plan, that I must expect some
thing in return. I do expect a better
and less expensive government. I con
trol large interests and the taxes have
become burdensome. I expect some
relief from that source. But aside
from that I hope that this effort today
will result in making life easier for
my fellow countrymen. I see life
through a different light from the
way it appeared to me in years gone
by. I have seen in recent years for
tunes swept away in a day. I have
seen strong healthy men collapse in
en instant. These and other obser
vations have convinced me that if we
do any permanent good in this life,
it's what we do to make the world
better; and I would want no greater
monument to my memory than that
those who live with me and those who
follow me could truthfully say that
some act of my life had made the
burdens of life fall lighter on them,
nd I believe this plan of government
will bring results that will make life
easier for this and the coming gone-
ations.
This plan provides that when pos.
sible all work should be done under
competitive contracts. This plan pro.
vides that all elective officials are di'
ectly responsible to the people and
that the responsibility is fixed and are
ubject to referendum and recall.
It provides that full publicity of all
public records be submitted to the
public under a modern, business-like
statement. An adequate system of ac
counting that will guarantee a dol-
ar's worth of service for each dollar
expended, and the books to be open
to inspection each day to any citizen.
Finally, it provides for a complete
business system, organized and ope.
rated like a well regulated bank or
business corporation, with the peo
pie as stockholders. They elect the
commissioners ag their directors and
the commissioners select the executive
head, whose duty is to bring results
for the stockholders. If he in any
way fails in this ho can be promptly
discharged by the commission or re
called by the people, or stockholders,
This manager would not need to be
selected from any one place, but wher
ever the proper man or men could be
found. v
Germany, said to be the best gov.
erned country in the world, calls their
officials like we call our preachers,
professors, etc. Fitness and merit is
the ruling power in their selecting ser
vants of the people. . In Robeson who

County .Government.
Charlotte Observer.
Major McKinnon's Lumberton
speech, in which he outlined a plan
for county government by a commij-
?ion and paid by a manager, caused
The Gastonia Gazette to discard an
editorial it had prepared on the same
subject and-to construct another along
new lines. The plan which Major
McKinnon has suggested, like the first
draft of all economic legislation, is
Eubject to revision, amendment and
improvement' He has advanced the
idea upon which constructive legisla
tion may be built. The Observer
rpoke truly when it said Major Mc.
Kinnon had started something which
would attract the attention of the
State. The discussion already devel
cped indicates that the more progress
ive counties in the State are wanting
something better than the practically
obsolete system of government by
county commissioners. .
