TOE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1911. BOOST THE COMMISSION PLAN XeadinjOmaha Citireni Pleased at the Present Outlook. FSAMEItS STATE THEIR VIEWS A4 Club Mm Waal Irrillt for Patties the nil! la Hi Fresmt Form, Wkm It Mar Now Be Acted I' yon. The plan of municipal government by romiDlnnlon whlrh Omaha Is soon to con elder If a Hrp In advance of any plan now In use In the United Rtatas In tha opinion of the men who have been booatlna; tha bill. John P. Breeh, tha lawyer who drew up the bill, and the member of the ex ecutive committee of the Ad club who went to Lincoln to fight the enabling act through the legislature are all certain that Omaha will adopt It and that the result will be at la factory. Ralph Sunderland of the Omaha Ad club ynmi at work with members of the legis lature during almost the whole three months that the bill wa up. He was aided by public-spirited men from Omaha, Fre mont, Beatrice and other Interested cities, who came to the puhllo meetings of the committees and argued tha questions out, as well as by Senator Banning and Repre. tentative Metzger, who pushed the bills. There was a decided jealousy displayed by members of the Douglas county delegation against the bill, and that was one of the obstacles that had to be overcome. The plan if adopted will give Omaha what no other commission governed city has, a commission with the privilege of selecting one of its own number to act as chairman. Select Own Chairman. "Too much attention la always paid In av municipal election to the office of mayor," said John P. Breen. author of the bill. "John MacVlcar of Dea Molnea told me that he thought the only, possible Im provement on the Des Moines system would be to have no office of mayor. As a mat ter of fact It makes really little difference who Is mayor, as the real responsibility for the government rests upon the council or leKlslatlve branch. Tha purpose of electing the commissioners .without choice as to which one shall be mayor centers the elec tion where It should be on the legislative power. "The Omaha plan Is more Ilka the one used In Pes Moines than any other, al though I read the charters of a hundred cities and took Ideas from everywhere. 'When the bill was drawn 103 cities had tried It, some of them larger and some mailer than Omaha. Memphis and Birm ingham were cities of greatec extent and population. In Memphis the graft elements and rings were cleaned out and the same thing can be done anywhere. Of course we must not forget that no form1 of control can do the work altogether. The success or failure . of the experiment will depend upon the character of tha man we put in." Thank the Ad Clab. Ralph E. Sunderland, who was the most active worker at Lincoln for the bill on behalf of the Ad club, said Friday morning: "The people of Omaha will adopt the commission plan of government and they may thank the Ad club for the privilege. Judging from the experiences of other cities which are administered under this plan, Omaha may expect to be greatly ben efitted by the change. "The application of modern ' business methods to the affairs of the city should result in great economy so that without Increased taxation all necessary and de al i able things may be done which will tnake Omaha a better city. "It la a credit to the newspapers that t!v;y are willing to use their influence In favor of the adoption of tha commission form of government, as presented In the Omaha Plan. , "Having 'fought, bled and died' for tha passage of the law t may be pardoned for a feeling of special satisfaction now that It appears certain of success in Omaha." Llkea Bees Position. Henry It. tiering, aUo an Ad club booster and one of the nun J'lrst to get the club Interested In the khrtnc, said: "It does' my htui t aooU to see the posi tion Thu Bee U taking on the commission form uf sot eminent fjr Omaha. It should appeal to everyone who lias the teal In terest of Oinaha at heart, not personal interest, but genuine Omaha boosting -plrlt. Omaha I a the best city of Its slse in the United Htales. and the commission form of government will make It even better. ' "To the taxpayer it means an Increased purchasing power for every dollar used for city purposes; to the laborer It means better pay for better services. All cttlsens will take a greater personal Interest In the city, because It is up to them , to get re sults which wilt advertise Omaha in the right light, and make It a municipal suc cess." Ke slap at Officials. 'Tha tendency to treat the experiment as a direct criticism of the present incumbents of public office In Omaha was decried by I Robert Jt. Manley of the Ad club, who helped to Put the measure through. " "We have no knowledge of grafting going on In the city government," said Mr. Manley. "and we have no Intention of ac cusing anybody of wrong practices. If there is waste, as there seems to be, we belive that under any system so poorly ar ranged aa the city government le the loss -would be 00 per cent the fault of wasteful methods and 10 per cent a dWre for graft. . "We must not forget that the aame sort of men will hold office that are holding offices now. As It la now, we will get tha popular men, tha ones who are good mixers and can get votes. But we believe that these men do have a desire to make good and that this system will, give them better chance than they have ever had before." New Books Fiction. KSBENCK OF HONEYMOON, by H. Perry .
