WHY MANAGERIAL GOVERN
MENT SUCCEEDS.
THERE have been many explana
tions offered for the undoubted
relative success of the commls-Blpn-clty-mnnagor
plan of city gov
ernment. The abolition of the wards
for example, Is frequently quoted as
nmplo reason for the buccpss of the
now plan. Marsliflold, however, hns
never hnd wards, but It has not ac
quired nny efficiency thereby. In
fact some critics have held that wards
would Improve the Marsliflold muni
cipal government.
Most of the explanations for the
success or tne commission iorm oi
government are only halt true, be
cause they Involve a study of the In
ternal mechnnlsm of the government,
whereas tho real difference botween
the old and tho new comos nt the
point of contnet between the govern
ment and the people.
Tho secret of tho success of tho
commlsslon-clty-manager plan lies In
the fact that the governmental power
Is taken out of obscurity nnd nnd
placed on a pinnacle of light whore i

the following taulo:
In tho Crimean war. In 1854 to
1S5G, It took nearly two yonrs to kill
ISM00 man.
During the Franco-Prussian war,
In 1870 nnd 1S71, seven months
were needed to dispose of 200,000
men.
In our own Civil War. from 1SC1 to
lSG'i. four years wore required to
kill 1,000,000 men.
Tho Russo-Turklsh war In 1877
nnd 187S resulted In killing 180,000
In n llttlo loss than a year.
Tho Spanish-American war In 180S
went on for eight months with only
2010 killed.
Tbo Itusso-Jnpanose war of 1001

nnd cost u&o.'JOO lives.

nil citizens can watch It. dally
Xo moro form of government will
automatically produco good govern
ment. Tho people's will can bo baf
fled or facilitated by tho form of
government. Under tho commission
managerial plan tho pcoplo's work nt
tho polls is made simple, clonr and
easy. And that Is nil tho secret thoro
Is to the success of tho plan.
In our old-fnshlonod city govern
ment, tho kind that Marsliflold Is now
existing under, wo havo committed
two serious errors. First, wo hnvo
scattered tho powors of government
among so ninny officials that It Is
nulto Impossible for tho pcoplo to
watch nnd control them nil. Second,
wo havo subdivided tho powor In
such small fragments that no single
part Is really worth watching. A
member of tho city council, for In
stance, under tho old stylo of govern
ment Mnrshflcld'a stylo has so
llttlo power alone that tho pcoplo do
not think it worth whllo to becomo
agitated over tho question of who
gots tho Job. And becnuso this ran
be truo with all rnndlrintcs, tho peo
ple loso control of, tho government.
Tho fcaturo of our present city
government Is tho scattering of pow
er b,nscd on our nuclcnt fenr of
kings. Wo havo always had a nupor
stltloiiB dread of giving to nny elec
tive officer powor enough to do any
thing for us without gottlng tho con
sent of Bovernl othorn. Wo hnvo over
looked tho fnct that to mako tho for
mer official obey our wlahos wo havo
also to oxort BlmtiltanooiiH compul
sion over tho lattor whoso raiment
ho needed, nnd that popular control
thus bccaino anything but tho simple
matter It ought to bo. Tho politician
