To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has failed in St. Louis, where the council dominated, and where "Boss Butler" paid that body $250,000 to pass a street railway franchise. Neither did it work in Philadelphia, which has been plundered of an amount equal APPENDICES 8i to lo per cent of her real estate valuation; nor in San Francisco under the disgraceful regime of Mayor Schmitz. So overwhelm- ing is the evidence on this point that it is needless to dwell further upon it. In the second place, this domination of one branch over ...the other has resulted in a lack of responsibility and of co-ordination in city affairs. These two elements are indispensable where the work to be performed is of a local and business nature. We find that imder the present system, no matter which branch of govern- ment dominates, there is always a notorious lack of responsibility. If the council makes a blunder in legislation, it immediately lays the blame upon the administrative officials, maintaining that it passed the measure upon recommendation of the admin- istrative branch, or that branch failed to carry out its policy.
