A NOVELTY WORTH WATCHING.
Dayton’s experiment with the
"Business Manager” variant of com
mission government for municipali
ties will be watched with interest iD j
every American town where there is |
intelligent discontent with the older |
system that is so much preferred by ;
the old school politicians of every J
party.
The Dayton plan is closely analog
ous to that on which all well-man
aged corporations are run, and in that
fact there is encouragement and war
rant for hope, since it reveals what
is so often lacking—appreciation of
the essential identity of town busi
ness and other business, and aban
donment of the familiar notion that
town business is "politics” and there
fore different.
Of course it is by no means in
evitable that Dayton is now to have
efficient and economical government i
in place of the inefficient and extrav
agant government from which, like
sn many other cities, it has long suf
fered. Whether it does or not de
pends on the competency of its man
ager, on whether or not the five com
missioners, who are in effect a board
of directors, know what not to do
as well as what to do, and espec’ally
on whether the citizens of Dayton
really want good government, which
by no means all citizens do anywhere.
In other words, good government is
possible under this, as under almost
any other plan, and it might be the
best plan without bringing about that
result.
One notices in the dispatches from i
Dayton frequent mention of certain
"boosters,” organized and unorganiz- '
ed, as backing the innovation. If |
they are the right kind of “boost- j
ers” their help will be useful Of the
people who use this name, however, i
there are some whose conception ‘ of
"boosting” is loudly to vaunt any,
merits a. town may have, especially
its natural advantages of site and
contour, and carefully to conceal its :
demerits and disadvantages. They I
resent and oppose that public rev- .
elation of municipal evils which is |
always the first step toward remedy- j
ing • them, and the only public ex-1
penditures favored by them are those ;
that make a visible showing. Need- !
lessly brilliant lights on Main street,;
for instance, till them with delight,,
but sewers leave them cold.
It is to be hoped that Dayton’s,
“boosters” have of civic pride a dif
ferent conception from this; if they
have not they will be the Business
Manager’s worst enemies.

Again we call the attention of our i
readers to the fact that Seward is
the real gateway to the Nelchina |
gold fields, and insist that almost any \
kind of effort on the part of our mer- j
chants and business men would turn
the tide of travel our way. While’;
Seward is standing around sucking j
her thumb, Valdez and Cordova are j
working overtime to advertise that
the only way to reach the interior
camp is via their respective routes,;
and it is well known that Seward has
them beaten from every angle when
it comes to comparing the different
routes. True, the trail near Crow
Creek pass is in bad condition, but
it has been stated that a man living
out in that part of the country has
agreed to keep the trail open all
winter for the sum of 150. The time
is rapidly approaching when the
stampede will be on and it behooves
Seward to wake up if she expects
to get her share of the travel that
will be on soon.. As stated before,
Valdez has a representative in Seat
tle who is on the job sixteen hours
a day, and any one who knows Bob
McIntosh is fully aware that he nev
er overlooks a bet when it comeB to
telling the people where to head in
when they start for the ' Nelchina.
If Seward wants any of this travel
she must say so now by getting busy
and doing a little boosting for her
self.—Seward Gateway.
Wrong, again, Mr. Gateway man.
Valdez is the best route to the Nel
china because it is nearer by nearly
a hundred miles than is Seward, and
