Mayor Carson in Favor Of Commission System Shifting of Responsibility Legislative Branches Prevented by Form of Government Used in Portland (This U tb fourth of a. series of in propoaed cnanaes in Salem s municipal government system; By RALPH C. CURTIS "The proof of the pudding begun a series of "testimonials" from municipal officials in Oregon cities which have modernized their governmenta systems. However the letters are from cities which have mod ernized in different ways, and are in no way designed to fa vor any particular system. The to make any observations theyO saw fit, without any suggestions. Tbe first letter was written by Joseph K. Carson, mayor of Portland: Dear Mr. Curtis: The following are my reasons why I believe the present com mission form of government un der which the " city operates is the best for Portland and In my opinion the best for most cities: "Under our commission form there can be no shifting of re sponsibility betwen the executive and- the legislative arms of gov ernment. The city commission sits as a legislative, executive, admin istrative, and quasi-judicial body. WhUe the mayor has almost un limited power in an executive and administrative way, this power is conferred to fix responsibility but in practice the discharge of these functions is divided among the members ot the commission and the mayor. AH public business is transacted by the council in pub lic. There are no executive ses sions of committees. There la no log rolling betwen councilmen representing various warda to tbe detriment of those districts whose representatives are not in ma jority clique. "Save for the burden created by bonds voted by ths people themselves, the finances of the city have, under the commission form, been In excellent condition. The city's present financial con dition la second to none in the nation In soundness. (Cities of major alze.) Few cities are op erated as efficiently or as eco nomically as Portland. The fact that only three men have been mayor ainee the inception of the commission form of government in 1913 and that there have been only IS elected commissioners and four appointed ones In that period of time is evidence that the people have had, in the main, government that was satisfactory to them. "If Salem were to have the commission form where neither the msyor or commissioners are paid, then you should have a city manager. Should you pay a salary to tbe members of the commission or the mayor, you would need none. In my opinion this city needs no city manager aince full responsibility is placed upon the mayor. He haa the pow er to delegate and does delegate most of this responsibility to other members of the council for a better and more equitable dis tribution of tbe work but he still remains responsible. In a word, he can not "pass the buck." In the long run the most efficient government is that which Is clos est to tbe people, and to which the people feel free they can per sonally appeal. There is no prob lem .which confronts the city gov ernment ot Portland that any eltlsen ia not free to consult their mayor or their commis sioners." - I trust this will be satisfactory. If there la more you would like la the way of data or facta, X should be glad to furnish It. Sincerely yours. JOSEPH K. CARSON, jr. Mayor. Ally-Nazi Climax Reached Over Oil .
