PORTLAND'S
Tl ORTLAND lmvimr mlontod a oonuntesion form or gov-
i ermiumt is now in the
xnaj, or mid commission. Tho city will bo ruled by five mon
who ro paid $5000 or nioro apiece. Voting is on tho pre
ferential plan whereby u voter records his first, second
and third choice. ,
Alayor Hnshlight is a candidate to succeed himself. So
uvc allthe other aspirants who sought or held office under
the old svstem. All the councilmon are seeking connnis-
sionershipr together with forty or fifty other applicants.
Thvifty patriots who have grown well-to.do ou the oounell
nian'ssalary of $25 per month all figure they can do pro
portionately bolter on $5000 a year with almost unlimited
nower.
Portland has succeeded in ehaiighig the form but evi
dently not the personal of its government, The same hun
gry crowd of professional politicians arc seeking the in
greased power. The city will evidently be managed under
the connnit-sion by tho samo crowd that managed it under
tho old charter.
"Will Commission Mayor Rushlight make a better.ad
iniiiistrator than plain Mayor Rushlight made? Will
Commissioner Raker make a better executive than Coun
cilman Raker? "Will tho citv be any better off under
Commissioner Clyde than under Couneihnau Clyde'?
Government is as good as
no bettor. The adnuuLstrators are representative of the
average intelligence of the
electorate whose choice thev
dently does not improve tho administrators. All that it
docs is to increase their power aud pay. If Portland's
city government was bad before, it will be worse now, with
unlimited power to the bad administrators. If it was good,
before it will be equally good now. In other words, if
good men were in office, the city had good government.
If bad men were chosen, the city had badgovornnient.
One thing and one thing only can bo said in favor of
tho commission form, it simplifies government and concen
trates responsibility. Therefore it is a move in the right
direction. But good government still depends upon the
ability of the people to pick
the old system.
Some'dav people mav realize the necessity of making
municipal government as much of a profession as business
management is in private corporations then tho trained
man will be sought rather than tho popular speaker and
good fellow. Then efficiency will replace inefficiency and
economy wanton waste in public affairs.
CENTRAL POINT'S GRIEVANCE.
l?OR some time the towns of
dwelt together in harmony,
ling of envy in CI rants Pass against Jackson county as a
wholo and Medford as n specialty. Even Ashland has
subsided and is keeping the peace.
Now, however, comes the Central Point Herald,
waving a torch of discord with a greivance, or rather three
of them. The Central Point baseball team lost a- game to
jJGdiorn, tJieretorc the umpire is plained. A newspaper
reporter mistook the Central Point float in the Odd hol
lows' parade for one .from McMinnville because it bore
the legend "McMinnville" in big letters, though the er
ror was corrected, therefore there was a conspiracy to
defraud the neighboring city out of its honors. The third
grievance is that the papers said that Central Point com
bined with Medford musicians to make "the best band ever
hailing from Southern Oregon" instead of specifying that
17 out of 21 players hailed from Central Point!
Therefore the Central Point paper exclaims in tragic
tones that Medford 's spirit of fairness is about as "small
as the shadow of a fly's eyelash on a dark night in a fog!"
Only the fly can see its own eyelash and the Central
Point Herald should not allow it to interfere with the
clarity of its vision.
