It was generally adâ€" mitted "that in his long and thoughtful municipal service he had gained a large measure of special knowledge of people and conditions in the town. After the new council had been elected, Mr. Drew volunteered to give any information or advice that he might be able to offer for the benefit of the town. In some cases his adviece was secured and proved. valuable, indeed. It would appear that this plan might well be more generally adopted. There will no doubt be some who will see in any such e§lan an attempt to undermine democracy. One man will claim that any such method suggests the : weakenmg of democratic government. Of course, it is nothing of the sort. Instead, it means that the town is gaining the services of those with special training and special experience. All reâ€" sponsibility would have to be assumed by the electâ€" ed representatives of the people, but they would have at their disposal the experience and ability of a large number of municipal experts. Has the plan suggested by Mr. Patton ever been tried? Years ago when the Caledonian Society of Timmins was organized one foundation principle of the accepted constitution was founded on just such an idea. While the dulyâ€"elected officers were expected to conduct the affairs of the society, the byâ€"laws required that each succeeding past presiâ€" dent should join the executive of the organization. In this way the knowledge and experience gained in a teem of a year in office, or two years or more, as the case might be, were always available for the benefit of the club. It worked well in the Caleâ€" donian Society, and there is no reason why it should not be equally successful with the adminâ€" istration of the city or town government. pality wouid elected.

It would appear that Mr. Patton‘s plan is worthy at least of conâ€" sideration. Bay, in common with practically every Cil} and town in the Dominion, is toâ€"day facing unâ€" usual problems and difficulties More and more the heads of municipalities are finding that not only does their position call for sacrifice of time and effort, but also, if they are thoughtful and sincere, they recognize that all the experience and knowledge of municipal affairs that may be needâ€" ed is desirable for the best administration. From the outside municipal office may appear to call for little special knowledge or skill. Those on the inside, however, know that usually by the time that sufficient acquaintance is made with the proâ€" blems of municipal government, the mayor either leaves ithe position of his own accord, or is ousted e : people. The service of the public is a matâ€" ter hat rouses much forgetfulness and much apâ€" parent ingratitude. A man may spend years inâ€" forming himself of local affairs, and just when he is becommg truly adept, he finds it necessary to retire from public service, or a thoughtless elecâ€" torate dispenses with his services. All the study and effort and training by experience are lost to the municipality. Another man or set of men take office, and the same wasteful method of learning by experience is gone through with all over again. It is to avoid this sort of thing that Mr. Patton makes his suggestion. He would, in brief, retain the services of all trained and experienced public men in the interests of the people There is no doubt but that Mr. Patton‘s plan would be of great value, if it could be made practical. Under his scheme, the town or city would not only have the services of the man elected as head of the local administration but it would also retain in an adâ€" visory capacity all who in the past had spent time and money and effort to gain a knowledge of affairs.

The elections, it is held, differ very materiâ€" ally in result from those in Ontario and other less favoured provinces. Under the Alberta system, one is led to believe that various parties are much more fairly represented than under the timeâ€" worn plans of Ontario and other provinces. This is all very well until the theory is checked up. In Alberta at the present time the proportional repreâ€" sentation achieved is much like that of Prince Edâ€" ward Island. The Social Credit party with a little over fifty per cent. of the votes of the province actually has almost nmety per cent of the number of seats‘in the legislature.
