DIANA DILLPICKLES IN "FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVORS"—A 4-Reel "Screecher" Film
WHAT'S WRONG WITH OUR ARMY?
OUR CHARTER COMMISSION appear* to be getting off wrong. Either the
commission misunderstood the voters' implied instructions, or it is deliberate
ly ignoring those instructions.
The 15 freeholders were elected to frame a new charter along advanced
progressive lines. It was to frame a commission-form-of-government charter—
a form of government that would tend to eliminate the playing of politics,
that would centralize responsibility, and would wipe out the last vestige of the
"pork barrel" from municipal life.
But instead of facing forward, the commissioners seem to be looking into
the past They seriously propose to force this city back into the rotten, old
"pork barrel" system of electing ward counciimen. ,
When the first intimations came from the commission about electing 30
ward counciimen. it was scarcely taken seriously. It was never believed that
this commission could be so far adrift.
But it appears that the charter framers really propose to submit a proposi
tion calling for the election of 30 counciimen to be chosen from wards. In
other words, the commission proposes to force Seattle back into the old system
that she managed, after a long struggle to throw off several years ago.
It proposes to bring back into our municipal life the ward heelers, the
peanut politicians, and the opportunities for corruption that are always in
herent in the ward system.
It would turn Seattle back to the Zbinden type of councilman. ONLY IN
STEAD OF 14. SUCH AS SEATTLE USED TO HAVE. THIS LOOKING
BACKWARD COMMSSION WOULD GIVE US THIRTY.
Gentlemen of the charter commission, you had better turn over a new
leaf. You had better make the most of this great opportunity to serve the
oeoole of this great responsibility placed upon you. You had better wake up.
JTraJ DOWT YOURWORK WILL GO FOR NAUGHT. AND INSTEAD
OF MEETING APPROVAL YOU WILL MEET ONLY REPUDIATION
WHEN THE VOTERS PASS JUDGMENT UPON THE RESULTS OF YOUR
LABORS.
