pie have nothing to say in the matter.
There should be a union of city and
county government in St. Paul and
Ramsey county, but that cannot be
done without an amendment to the
constitution. There Is no reason why
there should be a dual government
here
II believe in the merit system. do
not think that each election should be
followed by a sweeping out of every
one of the defeated party. This is
especially true as to the police depart
ment. A policeman has no incentive to
be vigilant and faithful if he knows
that after the next election he will lose
his place
Another reform is in the salary list.
There should be no greater compensa-
ton paid to officeholders than to others
doing similar work in private life. An
official objected to a reduction of sal
airy because he said it was necessary
for him to contribute to his party
campaign fund and he could not af-
ford to do so if he did not get a high
salary. There should be no contribute
ing to campaign funds.
L also believe in cumulative voting.
BY that system a voter may vote for
three Or four men running for the same
office, as judges, once, or for one man
three or four times. If that system had
been legal here last fall, Judge Mitchell
would not have been defeated for re-
elction
Il also believe ten citizens should be
able to nominate candidate for office.
Instead of having a host of candidates
the result would be, as In England
each party would be obliged to nom
mate their best men or stand chances
OF their candidates being beaten by an
independent candidate"

A RADICAL REFORMER
BUSINESS MEN LISTEN TO A LEG
TURE ON DESIRABLE LEGIS-
LATION BY w. b. DEAN
SHOULD REDUCE EXPENSES
Mr.. Dean Says American Cities Are
Badly Governed, and Are Too
COstly-ShOu1d Be Organized for
Mutual Benefit, and Not for the
Gain of a Few-Engiish Cities
Held Up as Models.

| Many members Of the Commercial
club, the chamber of commerce,
the Northwestern Manufacturers
association, the Jobbers' union
and others interested in bus
ness matters gathered at the rooms
of the Commercial club yesterday noon
to hear an address on desirable legis-
lation by w. B. Dean. Mr.. Dean has
evidently been much impressed by the
lectures on municipal government re-
Gently delivered in this city by Prof.
Zueblin, for he argued along the gen
eral lines of improvements suggested
by Prof. Zueblin and quoted him as an
authority for number of his state
ments.
"Our cities" said Mr.. Dean. ''are
badly misgoverned when we compare
them with the cities in England. 1t
costs five times as much to run the
Boston government as to run the gov
eminent Of Birmingham, and 1t costs
us third more to run our public
schools than it costs TO run the schools
of Birmingham. The reason for this
wide disparity of expense is that care
full attention Is given in Great Britain
to municipal government, while here
there is an absolute lack of interest in
such matters.
s.Cities are not organized to give peo-
pie Jobs, but for mutual interest. Pub
lie officials should understand that
they are simply hired TO transact our
business for US.
'"Three-uuarters of the English pop
uIation Is confined in cities one-third
of our people live in cities, and the
people are moving to the cities in larg-
er numbers every year. We think we
are a phenomenal people because our
cities grow so rapidly, but they grow
no more rapidly than the cities of
Europe Beyrout, in Syria, has grown
faster during the past ten years than
st. Paul; Hong Kong has grown from
st. Paul; Cologne, Madgeburg. Berlin
have grown more rapidly than any
American city of the second or third
class. Modern Athens was founded in
1910, and it has since become a place
with a population of 140, 900. Cities are
growing as rapidly elsewhere as here
II received letter a year or so ago

referring to city charters. He said he

In enterprise and public spirit
The association last night discussed
several other subjects, one Of the most
important Of which was the site for
the new market. 1t was agreed after
discussion that the site of the market
should not be held or controlled bv a.
private corporation, but, If possible, by
the city. The members favored a site
bounded by Ninth and Tenth, Robert
ana Minnesota streets. They did not
look with satisfaction upon q PROPOSE
tlon to erect the market along Third
street, as that would necessitate the
building of huge platform over the
hluf below Third street and would af-
ford but very poor facilities for han

Wnlch would be a great Inconvenience
to dealers and buyers. 1t was also the
sentiment of the association that
Jockeys should not be permitted to

tnat only bona fide retailers should be
allowed to buy at the market.
complaint was made by several gro
GERS that butchers in their neighbour
MOOD were trespassing on their bust
ness by dealing in bread and cake
which had lowered their sales In those
commodities. 1t was pointed out that
grocers deal in bacon, lard and other
tnlngs which are generally sold by
butchers, and after a short debate It
was agreed that Secretary Tenyoords
should interview the offending butch
ers and arrange a peaceful settlement
Of the question.

Candidates for Admission VIII BE
Given Test This Week.
A meeting of the principals OF the St. Paul
public schools was held yesterday afternoon
at the Central high school building. Supt.
Smith announced that examinations of cam
didates for the Central high school would
be held Thursday and Friday. All who ex-
pected to enter the school at the beginning
OF the February semester who had not COM
pleted- the eight grades of the grammar
nation. ~-.r.- - ss s...-- -,-s.sa.
The coming course of Seymour lectures
under the auspices of the Taylor Memorial
association and the Teachers association was
commended by Supt. Smith.
The superintendent spoke for half hour
before the principals upon several matters
upon which there had been some doubt. He
thought there was too much writing in the
lower grades. although it was frequently the
case that after six months in school a. pupil
could write whole sentences. Frequently
children in the lower grades were given es-
says to write about of which they did not
thoroughly understand, -.
Such thing as an approximate answer In
arithmetic was an absurdity, and the same
rule. should he thought, apply to other
studies, as too much care could not be used
to make the course as thorough as It was
possible to make it.
OF music Mr.. Smith spoke warmly as well
as Of Miss Shave. He comm ended her ex-
animation questions which had been submitted
and the earnestness OF her endeavor to i'm
prove the course in that study.
A proposition made by the publishers of an
one scholar in every school writing the best
essay. on any current topic of general inter-
est read. Some discussion ensued and
the matter was laid on the table.

OPPOSED TO PAVING.
Owners on Bradley, North and Bed
ford Streets Apparently Adverse.

The board of public works, at
meeting yesterday afternoon, directed
the clerk to give the first assessment
notice in reference to reconstructing,
relaying and repairing wooden side
walks, estimate No. l. under the con-
| tract with the St Paul Carriage COM
pany.
The final orders for paving Cedar
street, from Second street to Como av-
enue; and Central avenue, at the in
tersection of Cedar street, were re-
ferred to the city engineer for specili-
| cations.
Final orders were passed for the
paving of Sixth street, from College
to Smith avenues. ard Summit avenue,
from st. Peter street to Sixth street.
Also final orders in the matter of sew
ers on the following streets: On
Wesley. from Smelling to Fry. on
Short, from Maria to Hoffman; on
Beach, from Forest to Cypress; and
Oh Roby, from Bidwell to Bellows.
The city engineer returned to the
board plans and estimated for the con-
StructiOn of sewers on the following
streets: On University avenue, from
Fairview to Smelling; on Smelling to the
Great Northern railroad; on Mime
haha from Aldine to Hamlire; on Cap
itol, from Aldine to Hamline; on Wes-

from Capitol to Wesley; on Hewett av-
enue, from a point 1870 feet west of
Charlotte street to Hamline avenue;
and on Taylor avenue, from Charlotte
to point $50 feet east of Asbury. The
estimated cost Of the latter improve
ments is $34, 500, which includes the cost
Of the main sewer on University ave-
nue., from Fairyiew to Smelling. The
assessment will be about IT'S cents a
front foot
The board also gave a hearing to a
number of property owners in regard
to the proposed paving of Bradley,
North and Bedford streets.
Then general sentiment of the prop
erty owners who appeared was opposed
to the Improvement, on the grounds
that it is not necessary, and many of
the property owners are not able to
bear the expense.
The board took the matter under ad
visement and will report its Conclu
sion to the council

The board of public works returned the
ordinance prohibiting the construction OF
wooden sidewalks and regulating the con-
struction of cement walks with an amend
ment including stone and brick with the
cement.
Assemblyman Albrecht moved reference
to the committee on streets. and suggested
that an adjourned meeting of the assembly
never brought out a sufficiently large at
tendance of citizens to admit of proper dis
cussion." He believed that the city clerk
should be instructed to notify commercial and
other public bodies of the action taken. The
proposition carried unanimously.
