N o r m an A r t h ur opened the de bate for the affirmative. He be lieved the present system of city government to be complicated and the division of cumbersome, and power which exists causes a confu sion of functions. All our prom the inent citizens, he said, are of opinion that the present system is inadequate, allowing of graft, brib ery, etc., and that the fault is inherent in the system. that these J. C.

T he change to a commission form would be too radical, and a concen tration of power would result which would be far from the aims desired. City government cannot be run as a corporation.

Close, for the negative, ar gued that there would be greater danger of corruption in the city gov ernment by concentrating the power in a commission than in the present system. A commission form would establish incorrect relations between state and city government. " T he object of a business organization," said M r. Close, "is to make money ; that of a city to pay out money to the best its people." interests of F or the above reasons he believed the commission would be unable to remove any of the existing evils.
