V . 6ev , Wtison’ s Conception oi Co«mL%lo« Gm nuaen t. n The cities of New Jersey hsd auSered their full share from the typical ilia which have biassed America* raimiefpalitls*. gome of them hsd had serious defSleft- tides or had been afflicted with corporation domination or with gross inequalities of taxation, Jp addition, there was a lot of petty grafting and general Iseffielebcy. "In 1910 there swept In from theWest * groat political idea which had been applied at that time with marked success in about one hundred cities—the Idea of com­ mission government Public opinion in no lest than sixty. WoodrowWilson communities in Now Jersey looked with longing upon the commission plan as a relief from their own troubles. Most of. them, *« In every State, had but a general notion or Its political principles; it was a case of “It has cured others; it will cure Us" But to Woodrow Wiison the commission plan was more, than a patent remedy. It was the embodiment of the cardinal doctrine which he had written about and taught from the beginning of his carder—the principle of the Short Ballot and direct responsibility. As Governor, be took the stump for this prin­ ciple just as candidates for public office take the stump In their own personal Interest Throughout, he emphasized not the specific results already ob­ tained under the new plan in the Western-cities, but the fact that the com­ mission plan put the local government Into the; right relationship to the people. ■ ■ Thus, in his address on the subject at Trenton, be said!— "Human nature Is better- instructed, guided and supported in America than anywhere else in the*.world; they have good government in foreign cities, but they are less Intelligent than we are. When I look into it 1 find a very Interesting circumstance. In English or Scottish -cities no voter ever votes for,more thanone person. He never has a chance to Vote for more than one person. We elect men galore, but the nominating machine selects them. ■ If you want the privilege of selecting your men as well as ejecting them you will simplify your form of government until yon have the whole 'thing in the palm of your hand and have only to flip a little finger tomake them, think it is an earthquake,' All the best governed cltl|Mn the world are governed according to that plan. The principle is the centre of the whole proposition— the principle of responsibility. Nothing moralise* like responsibility, I have a suggestion to make to you.' If you have a very able friend who is very radical, put him In office and see him tame down, Say, ‘all right, my friend, you are such a smart Alec. You know how this thing, <ought to be done. You stand on the street corners and rant You know so much about It, suppose yon try It* You make out of him the sober and responsible wheel horse.*’ It is this ability to see the problems of the people in terms of a very simple proposition, which, underlies Wilson’s own political’ leadership. Viewed in this light the principle of the Short Ballot takes on a ,transcendent Im­ portance. For It is the Short Ballot which will be the first step, toward se­ curing effective civic and official responsibility In States, counties and cities. WODROWWILSONANDTHE SHORTBILOT. WoodrowWilson V I. The Progress of the Short Ballot Movement. One of the earlier articles, in this series told how quickly the peopie caught up with"Woodrow Wilson’s doctrine that real democracy in America is ju^t a ques­ tion of getting simple and workable’ instruments. Of course, the really difficult task is to get this Idea enacted Into laws. This phase of the movement is retarded by two great obstructions; cast iron State constitutions,,and those politicians Who are quite Contented with the pres­ ent arrangement*. ' The lightning struck first in ;California, where the bi-partisan railroad machine' bad Just; been overthrown. In 1911 the progressive members d i both parties, who were now in control, looked around for the best means oflmakinr the results of the election of 1910 ’ permanent, tbit is, of kecplfig the existing machine out of politics and forestalling any similar organization. The leaders at once took up the Short Ballot Idea and made: it the first specific plank in their plat­ form. Governor Johnson emphasized It hi his message find'put bis influence behind several- Legislative Short Ballot measures. Four l&f these werepassed without great difficulty, Three of these respectively removed from the ballot the State Printer, the Clerk of the Supreme Court and the members of the Railroad Commission This latter board had been macle elective year* before so that the people could control it Result:—The commissioners were hidden away among forty to fifty other officers on. the ballot and for a generation, devoted' themselves exclusively to the neglect of their duties aud the drawing of their salaries, ’ The fourth of these California measures gave the people power to apply the Short Ballot principle In the counties by adopting local charters suited to their local need*. Within less than a year under this nswright the-county of Los Angeles adopted an 'nstrument under which them were cut o stroke, thirteen of these petty clerical offices, which had been the c- *o much ill-directed party activity and inefficiency. It Was provided future they should b\ appointed on the basis of merit1and not for. party ser­ vice. The county supervisors were given real control over the machinery of organization just as in the commission plan cities. . Another State which has made progreis toward the Short Ballot Is Ohio. In preparation fqr the constitutional convention which met in that State last year, the Municipal Association of Cleveland prepared a most careful analysis of the State- government and proposed a measure which would remove from the State ticket the minor executives, Including the Secretary of State, Treasurer, Auditor, Attorney General and Hairy and Food Commis­ sioner, The favorable way in which the measure was received led its friends to suppose that it would be submitted to the people, *long with the forty- other progressive proposals. When, however, it was brought to a vote, it Was found that forty-seven of the one hundred and twenty delegates were opposed to submitting this proposition to the people. Their cry was, "it will give the Governor too much power." (They were not opposed to giving exactly (hs same amoiint of power to the irresponsible party "boss" who bad actually made the appointments to minor State offices under the lohg ballot system.) The defeat of the measure disappointed the people and last fall all three political parties in Ohio went on record In favor of the Short Ballot in their platforms, " In the spring of 1913 the friends of the measure made It more complete by adding amendments to make it possible for the people of the several counties to adopt a Short Ballot form of county government and providing that repre­ sentatives to the Legislature should be selected Singly by districts instead of in big bunches by counties. When the Legislators assembled this spring and the proposition was put up to them in Concrete form, many of themrepudiated .both the party promises, and their personal Written pledges. And the movement was checked again. The Short Ballot bills will now be put before the people by initiative, Michigan went through a similar experience lastMarch, There the senate voted unanimously to submit to the people a proposition to apply the princi­ ple to the heads of departments in the State, The State House of Representa­ tive*, however, defeated it. The opposition in every'State Is the same:—Onthe surface the contention that it would "centralise" power too much; deeper (JowU, the petty officials, both those in office and those who hope to be, have a passion for "letting the people fill the offices " Well, the cure for that is more light, (THE END.)
