LOGAN NOT ON DOWNWARD PATH and Sunday movies are pursuing their prosperous way on is fears ofthe Puritans and Philistines that Logan For be to have unjustified. the downward path proved four Sundays now the Capitol theatre has had .large audiences and alt the same the young people crowd into our churches on on thi Sunday evening and continue to settle their lovers plans hack benches. For alt they get out of church many of them might just as well be at the movies. The churches have nothing to fear from the theatre or the automobile, but much to learn, They must learn, the chief business: of the theatre is to stick to its job, which is to amuse, while that of the church is to stimulate to noble deeds, a function it shares with school and parents, and ; above all to explain the unknowable by its theology,. The churches in. their Rotarian desires to slap us on the back and amuse With Stories and music are competing with the theatre apd to their attempts to inculcate right living they are usurping or complementing the work of the home. When they stick to their real job of theology and the application of Christian prnciplea to daily T life they have nothing to fear from the movies, The fact that we can have full theatres as , well ba full churches in Logan on Sunday is convincing proof that Logan is beginning to merit the ridiculous misnomer occasionally bestowed on her of the Athens of Utah., She has the name because of her two colleges, but she needs the Athenian spirit- of openness . to new ideas, of respect for the other mans opinion, of freedom for all to act recording to the dictates of their own intelligeiwe so long as no harm comes to the commonwealth, and above all we ' need the spirit of beauty. We have too many wires, weeds, ugly canal hanks, abortive trees, and unkempt yards to consider the town really beautiful. But we are beginning to have 4he . Athenian intelligence that allows a man to work at his own . business whenever he pleases. With the Sunday movies has come the intelligence of consistency. W e allow boys to play ball in the f streets on Sunday, , Why not allow them to attend amovie? Closing theatres in Logan on Sunday was as ridiculous and incon-- si stent as the blue taws of New England, which would not let- a .4man play ball on Sunday .. THE : however. .. , V... ' ; . , ' In nearly' every state the wide awake "cities of from' two to twelye thousand in ment. Students of political science are generally agreed that if is far superior to the present City Council plan which Logan now; endures. The reasons are clear. It provides an especially trained official whose whole business is to look after municipal projects. This man serving during his efficiency would serye long enough to complete a project once begun. The plan would eliminate de- -, Jays and simplify the transactions of the citys business. It woul relieve the commissioners of the burdensome details of administration ; the commissioners would JthVn be, free to consider the, more important problems and determine the general policy of the manager. In addition the plan would give the city a central executive head, easily, accessible for public criticism, suggestions - . and information. , Where is the ; responsibility thus vested in one highly Arained . executive a premium is placed upon his efficiency. The life of his position depends upon what he accomplishes in the way of the construction, improvement and maintainence of al! city proper gftom-ihfijBireet gutter to. the electriC' lighL The more im- provements he can thus bring to the city without boosting up the figure on the tax notices the longer he will keep his position. With such a plan, do you suppose that the Logan light plant would have been permitted to sink into Buch decay and become bo obsolete as it did ; Under the city manager plan Brigham is now maintaining its plant an dselling electricity for six cents per hour. In addition Brigham makes a seventy-fiv-e percent reduction" for all public buildings and churches. It gives free to every resident the electricity for his 'front porch light. While under the Commission plan Logans officials who recently d to have Logan placed on a meter basis maintained that the Logan plant could not pay operating expenses for less than eight cents per kilowat hour. Hyrum charges nine cents. Too long has Logan suffered from inefficient municipal meth, ods. We cannot expect "anything elsbut inefficiency as long as we cling to the old idea of breaking in a new mayor every two years. Wefelect two city commissioners not to be advisors but to supervise our light plant, fire department etc., with no special training whatever. They, with the mayor do their work for the city on the side." We pay Ahem only enough money to get them to look at some repair job perhaps once a year, I When a citizen desires information or wants something done he has a talk with one of the numberless officials who are seldom available. He is referred to others and so on, until the average citizen gives up in despair. This system, where every man has a little authority and no one enough to accomplish anything, is an actual injury to Logan, It should be relegated to the political f . junk pile. , Positions in Logans municipal government should no longer be handled on the' side, Efficiency if as essential Si managing a 'city as in managing a private business.
