From Spokane, then, we learn that the commission plan means efficiency, economy and honesty. And the east em Washington city's experience is typical. It has 'hundreds of parallels in America. Wherever commission government has been accepted as an antidote for the poison of municipal dlsgovernraent It has succeeded, except In those few cases where the wrong men have been placed in office. And evan the mos; ardent frrends of the progressive plan will not assert that it will make dis honest men honest. But it will not tempt a hard working citizen with hungry babies and a meager income tc cvorrupt his soul with "easy money" from some corpulent contractor or franchise-seeking corporation and that Is exactly what the antiquated form under which most cities are laboring do?s wlth'a bitter vengeance. And let this not be construed as a reflection on the men, as individuals, who hold office In Pendleton. There is little question that they have given freely and without adequate return, of the best, that is In them, so far as the present system will permit. But ancient, time worn machinery with a superfluity of mechanism does not make for efficiency. Because Pen dleton has been fortunate in Its selec tlon of the present parts of its municipal machine, we have no right to expect that it will always be so. A new machine, modeled on up-to-date methods and with fewer parts and greater capacity is needed If """nt"" I- tn4nn It noslflon among the progressive cities of the state, THIS DATE I HISTORY.
