Has Proved Highly
Successful
The Initiative and Referendum
and Recall is Admired
by Majority of Cittsenship
of Spokane
Spokane, Wash., Oct. 2a?-Seven
uHMiuiv experience witn uie commission
form of government in Spokane,
which is under the control of
the people through the preferential
election system, the initiative and
referendum and the recall, has ptoved
highly successful. Direct efficiency
has replaced irresponsibility
and incompetency, party boesism
has been elimated, the laws are enforced,
the tax-payers are obtaining
100 cents' worth of work for a dollar,
minicipal improvement bonds
command high premiums and the
city's credit is gilt edge in the financial
centers throughout the country.
Charles M. Fassett, commissioner
of public utilities, speaking for the
commission, says the people, as a
rule, are satisfied with the change
and that it is doubtful if even those
who were most active against the
present charter would vote to return
to the old system. There are
some, of course, who honestly believe
the old form is better, he added,
but the chief opposition to the
adoption of the charter and its continuance
comes from those whose
private selfish interests are being interefered
with by the beneficial
I change iD administration introduced
T>y'the present government
Enumerating the chief points ol
advantage of the commission form
of government over the party sys
tern, Mr. Fassett says:
"For the first time in its history
the community is not disturbed by
political wrangling at the city hall
Our commissioners often do not agree
on various measures, but differences
are soon healed and there
is harmony and good feeling be
tween them.
"Each commissioner has charge
under the authority of the whole
body, of his departments and the
tax-payer knows to whom to applj
for his needs. The result is thai
business is dispatched in hours anc
days, where it formerly requirec
weeks and months.
rtStreet and other improvement!
are made for from 20 to 40 pei
cent less than in recent years
without reducing the city wage
scale or decreasing our standard;
of quality. The contractors ring ii
broken and most of our work goe:
to those who have done the besi
work in the past For the firsi
time in our history a contractoi
has been fined for delaying public
work.
"Our tax levy will be the same a!
last year, notwithstanding a deficii
of about $90,000 left by the formei
government ana ine settlement oi
many claims and complications
neglected for years.
"The various departments are being
managed with efficiency and
common sense. The water department,
which has been permitted tc
run heavily in debt, has been placed
upon a business footing; free water
has been cut off, the number of
meters has been doubled in seven
months, wastes have been stopped
and an adequate supply of water
furnished for all purposes during
the hot months, where every year
heretofore there has been a famine
in certain districts.
"Our streets are well paved and
kept clean and sewers are maintained;
the health oi the city was
never so good; public service corporations
are encouraged and enforced,
when necessary, to give good
service; back franchise taxes are
collected and the affairs of the city
generally are conducted along modern
business lines.
"The preferential system of voting,
the short ballot and the election
of commissioners at large, who
select one of their number as mayor,
are other features which have
strong arguments in their favor.
Hereafter not more than three commissioners
will be chosen at any
election, giving the voter no excuse
for ignorance of the men or
their duties. We require a nonnartisan
affidavit and restrict the
use of money for election purposes
to $250 for any candidate.
"By our system of voting the results
of the election express the
will of the majority much more
closely than could be obtained by
caucus, convention and ward representation.
Cn the whole, we be-lieve
Spokane has the most advanced
and characteristic commission
charter yet adopted by any city ,n
this or other countries.'
