If the people are to be asked In vote on Ihe question of tne adoption of a ciiy manager plan for Prince Rupert it will be necessary to do a lot of educative work between now and election day in order that the people may be in a position to understand what is meanl. Already the method of civic government has been discussed by a few local clubs and societies but this might well be followed jip by an educative campaign which would help people to realize the need of the change and the benefits of the system to be introduced. The city manager plan has been successful elsewhere and there is no reason why it should not be a success here. Alderman And Mayor Would Serve Free. Under the scheme the duties of the mayor and aldermen would be so much lightened that it would be unnecessary to pay I mem as at present. Meetings fortnightly or monthly would be held instead of almost every night of the week as at present. All matters of detail would lie handled bv the manager while mayor and council would deal only with questions of policy. The money saved from paying members of the council would be de-voled lo securing a good man for mnunker. In that wav lhere would be very little increase in the overhead " Expenditure, ' h claimed by its opponents. T '; Present System Makes Politicians. Under the present system people are always worrying members of the council for jobs, or for favors of some kind. Some aldermen like the feeling of importance that comes from being able lo dispense favors. Also jl gives them a political advantage. The manager system iS designed lo take Ihe management of the city out of politics altogether. If it will do that it will be worth a trial. .System Has Passed Experimental Stage. The syslein of government under a city manager is not any longer experimental. It has passed that stage.' It can be seen in successful operation in dozens or cities today, large and small, and in every case, it is said, the change has been justified. . it is a reasonable system; in that it prevents overlapping of duties and correlates all the activities of the city thus making for efficiency. All Eyes Still On British Election. . The; American presidential election is completely overshadowed by the interest takei't iri the" .election' 'f'n OreatRrbiij In the republic there is no great principle at stake, neilherTs there anything outstanding or spectacular about it. In Britain, however, there is the first Labor government the country lias ever had struggling for ilsjife and in danger of being oyer-! wrieimeu liy the oilier two parties working in collusion. It is alinost a life and death struggle, speaking politically. A lot of I interesting sidelights, enter in and the result is being watched ny trie wiiole civilized world.
