Excerpt from The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Vol. 25: March, 1905 Chairman Committee on Nomination Reform, National Municipal League, New York City. Examples abound of the great loss and damage to the city through its want of sufficient legal power to guard or promote the interests of its citizens. The city government is to a marked degree a helpless government, the vassal of the state legislature.

A local government having ample power and accountable directly to the citizens of the locality for the use of the power is the democratic way of solving the municipal problem.
