| Show I TELL HOW IT IS DONE I When the voters of Salt Lake City read what nonpartisanism has done for Glasgow Scotland they are I pleased says the Deseret News It may lie that they are and we certainly I ivould not deny that they are But where do they read about this so far as we have observed they do not read 1 about it In the columns of our contemporary contem-porary or any other of the Salt Lake papers It is true that they can read about what has been done In Glasgow in Municipal Government in Great Britain where that city is used as a I standard of comparison with other i leading British cities but we fancy i that copies V of V this work are rather rare in this city I Our contemporary also uses Glasgow as a standard of comparison and to Illustrate i Il-lustrate to the people of Salt Lake City i the great benefits to be derived from I nonpartisanship in municipal affairs I But our contemporary does not point i out what nonpartisanship p lias done i for Glasgow and more important still I it has made no attempt to tell the people peo-ple of this city how Glasgow gets its nonpartisanship It does not say whether the suffrage in Glasgow Is universal uni-versal or limited This of itself Is an important matter and one on which t11e People would like to be informed j wni our contemporary please inform theAi With this question answered I will our contemporary tell the people of i I Salq Lake City how Glasgow got non I partisan government Will it tell them i whether the people of that place who I have the suffrage ban loned their i i party lines and voted for members of I I the town council on an avowedly nonpartisan I non-partisan ticket And will it tell them 1 i whether or not a selfconstituted committee I com-mittee of Glasgow citizens got together It In secret meeting named the 75 mbnv hers of the common council and the 1 people then voted for them though they had had no voice in their selection Let our contemporary tell the cili zens of Salt Lake wherein the nonpartisan non-partisan movement in this city ifc parallel I par-allel with municipal government in j Glasgow and wherein it diverges from it And when it has tpJd tile people all this and all about municipal government govern-ment in various European cities we i1 believe it will not find a single case parallel i par-allel to the nonpartisan movement in Sail Lake City If it does we shall be pleased to cheerfully acknowledge it j and tell our readers where it Is |
