CIVIC REFORM. -

The city council committee on leg-

islation have reported in favor of ex- tensive changes in civic matters, not- ably in its representative system. The general features of the changes pro- \ posed are the abolition of ward re- presgntation; the introduction of the ballot; the eight councillors to be elected in the same manner as the mayor, and to be paid $100 each per annum. Doubtless these proposals will not meet with universal favor, but in our judgement they are looking in the right direc-Lion. I* In abolishing the ward system we would move along the lines of ap- proved reform in other cities. We _ would give to every citizen a voice in selecting, not one or twc members of the council but the entire membership of that body. At the same time we would shut out of the council a class of men who are now able by local in- ‘iluence to secure a majority in a single ward, but who could never command the support of a majority of the entire citizenship. The change ought to improve the council by bringing into it men of larger abilities, broader views and greater public spirit. e 'h

been introduced in both our civic and provincial affairs. ‘The open vote is a survival of the days ~ of savagery. When our remote barbarian ancestors desired to elect a chief they' met 'to- gether and bellowed out the names of their favorites, and then the con- tending factions fought to a finish. The men with loud voices, big lists and strength in wielding the club us- ually won the election, but modern methods ascertain the public ' choice with greater accuracy and in a quieter manner. The ballot system may not be free from objection. but it is re- cognized in all civilized countries as the best method yet discovered for conducting an election. '

There will be much division of

gpinion as' to the proposed payment of

uncillors. The GUARDIAN holds

that it is quite as proper to pay the members of the civic _.council as the members of a legislature or parlia- ment, and these are paid everywhere in Canada. We ask ‘one of our fel- low citizens who'm we esteem for his honesty, ability and public spirit, to give up a portion of his time and ef- fort to the administration of the com- munitv’s aliairs. We fail to see why he should do this without being in some way indemnified. The bee: ser- vice we receive, whether inday labor, in the higher oiicial walks of life, in thepulpit, on the judicial bench,when we call in a doctor or employ a law- yer, is what-we pay for. fWe do not think that many whose time is really. valuable,will be enticed into becoming candidates for the coun.-il merely be-

The contract system for street

lighting has not worked well, and all must agree that improvement is needed By taking power to purchase and operate an electric light plant the city will not necessarily exercise that power, but will be m a position to probably obtain a better service other wise because of having the power to do its own lighting The step pro posed ls along the line of civic experi ment in both the old world and the new,but the experiment has not been uniformly successful

We think it desirable that the city

should obtain the powers which the committee propose to ask for, and we see no reason why the legislature should not grant them,if the council can make up its mind to ask for the proposed legislation.
