COMMISSION GOVERNMENT
THREE hundred American cities
liavo swept nway boards of al
dermen, councllmcn, mayors,
and n host of minor officials) and have
set up n now municipal government
on a plnn so slmplo that It needs no
boss to direct It and tho pcoplo In
these towns not only secured full
control over tholr governments, but
hnvo kept It, election after election.
Whllo Bcorcs of American cities linvo
tholr groups of mon who nro en

govornmont under tho managerial
svstcni for their own town, why docs
not Marshfield take steps toward mu
nicipal enlightenment. Goodness
knows wo need It wo need nnythlng
Hint will mako for grcntor efficiency
nnd economy In tho ndmlnlstrntlon of
municipal affairs.
The spread of tho commission gov
ernment movement began by acci
dent. Galveston, Texas, after tho
flood of 1900, waa practically wiped
out. So much progressive and con
structive work was demanded that
the old system of a board of aldor
uicn nnd tho usual string of Indepen
dent olectlvo offices broko down. A
group of business men petitioned tho
Btato govomor to Btispcnd tho local
government and roplaco It with a
commission of flvo men. This waSl0 m,i tl ic.OOO on tho Grand Ron
dona and tho wholo city placed undor! do road to Tillamook It tho Btato
Mm mnirni nf fivn mon. lliroo of
whom tho governor appointed.
This wbb how the term "commission"
originated, and tho name, for wnnt of
ItnHni .Inanrltit Inn lirta tttllnl In It nvnr
since, although tho governing
lo no longor a "commission" In, tho
truo Bonso of tho word nt all.
Tho coiiiiiiIbbIoii In Gnlvcston was
able to mako decisions nnd got things
accomplished In halt tho tlmo It took
tho old board of nldormon to got n
resolution referred to n committee.
Tho commission planned and built n
soawall to protect tho city against
furthor storms, raised tho ground
lovol of a largo part of the town, got
"tho city, govornmont running again nt
ono-thlrd less annual cost, mado n
nuinbor of Important Improvomonts
and nt tho snino tlmo reduced the

After two years tho commission!

ton Joalous and after a few years this!
city petitioned for a similar govorn-1
inent and was granted It. Othor
Texas cities followed and tho syntom
rapidly spread to largo cities In othor
states.
The most Importnnt variation from
tho orlglnnl typo of commission gov
ernment Is tho Bo-cnllQd "clty-muiin-gor"
plan. Undor this systom tho
elected commissioners nro simply a
board or directors; thoy do not, In
dividually or collectlvoly, concern
thoiiiBolvcB with departmental detail,
as In tho caso of tho old form. That
function thoy leave to an njipolntlvo
chief oxocutlvo who la known as tho
city manager. T'e official Is ox

Undor tho ilty-maniigor plan, tho,
