Ex-MAYOR YOUNG
Endorsed the Pugh.KibIer Bill
For Uniform Use.

II am in favor of the Pugh- -Kibler
BILL" said ex-Mayor w. e. Young,
because it fixes responsibility on Of
ficials, and holds them answerable to
the people. am also in favor of uni
form system of government for Ohio
cities. We want good form of gov
ernment, suitable to all the needs of
the people, for, while great deal de-
pends on the men in Office, they can
produce better results with a good
machine. Our present government
was not planned or endorsed by the
people. We woke up one morning to
find it in force, and thus far have
been unable to get away from it.
The double-head appointing power can
never be satisfactory because neither
part is seldom ever able to secure the
appointment of his first choice, and
so, we cannot obtain an ideal govern
ment by the present plan. However,
it Is not hoped to arrange a new gov
ernment which will be wholly free
from criticism, yet we can surely get
something better than we have now.
I would suggest that the committee
correspond with other cities so that a
general movement may be started for
a uniform system"

RESPONSIBILITY
Should be Assumed by Every
Citizen-R. N. Wanamaker.

Prosecutor r. NJ. Wanamaker said
that Akron people should take the
Initiative in general movement to-
ward a uniform government, and that
responsibility for its success should
be borne by every citizen. As it is
now,' he said, people who do busi-
ness in different cities, are obliged to
make study Of all the special char
tiers. If committee of 10 were ap-
pointed from each city to visit the
Legislature and work for the passage
Of the P,lgh:Kfblef,, or some other
good, general bill, I believe it could
be passed. I believe that every citi-
zen should take an active interest in
this matter, and continue to keep
themselves interested In the affairs
of their city. l am in favor of ac-
tion by the people. believing that can
didates should be selected by vote of
the people, at one primary election,
and that every man Fl years old and
over would go to the polls and vote
Our strength ought to lie in petition,
as 1t did in our earlier history. We
can accomplish much by united ef-
fort"

POLITICAL CONTROL
Judge KohIer Wants II Broken
Up, and Tax Burden EquaIized.

II feel that L am in some way re-
sponsjble for our present city gov
ernment," said Judge J. A. Kohler.
1--WE found our former plan bad, and
hit upon the City Commissioner law
as what we wanted. 1t seems, how
ever, that We jumped from the frying
pan into the fire, and 1 hope that the
agitation for new government will
result in a law.
when the Municipal Code law was
first presented to the people. exam
ined it carefully, and believe 1t is
the best law that can be devised Un-
fortunately, 1t was defeated by pol.

cal party ascendancy controls our af-
fairs, and this condition must be
broken up. II was politics that de-

NO CHILD'S PLAY.
Hon. 6. ". KempeI Points to I'm.
mensity Of the Task.

''The duties of this committee will
be no child's play" begun Hon. Chas.
w. Kempel. -Four years ago, I had
a committee appointed by Council to
frame a new form OF government,
and had very hard work keeping the
members together. Finally we drafted
bill, which was very similar to the
Pugh- Kibler plan, but it was apparent
ly regarded as too general. ! believe
that a government wholly local to Ak
ron would better suit the needs of the
people. 1t could be submitted to a
vote of the people, and If passed, be-
come law. believe If you get the
right kind of a bill, Mr.. Buchtel can
secure its passage, If he is honestly
in favor of 1t. The Legislature ap-
propriated $4,000 to have the Pugh-
Kibler bill framed, and it's authors
spent two years in perfecting it, but
1t was defeated, nevertheless. You
should see to it, that after the bill is
presented, no interference with your
Representatives is permitted

FINANCIAL
Question Regarded Very Import
ant by Commissioner McMiIlen.

How the Pugh-Kibler bill will af-
feet us financially should be carefully
considered" suggested Commissioner
McMillen. "Will it be less expensive
than our present system? There are
many things to consider in comparing
our present form with others, yet If a
better government can be obtained we
should, by all means, try to secure it.
If we could get the personal property
properly listed on the tax duplicate,
believe we would secure the neces-
sary amount of revenue to run the
city. AS it is now, the Board of City
Commissioners represents several de-
partments, which might otherwise be-
constitute the Board of Elections, the
EQualizing Board, and Decennial ap-
praisers. l am in favor of the Pugh-
Kibler bill, if it will bring the relief
we're looking for. But, the facts caus-
ing the present situation must be con-
sidered in estimating the Commits
sioner law. The debt has been accum-
ulated through the past 10 years, and
under unlocked for circumstances.
The riot cost the city $4,000 or more,
and some expensive special improve
ments have been necessary. am not
surprised at hearing many plans for
relief, which are suggested easily by
persons who do not understand the
situation, and do not believe any city

REMARKS
By Messrs. Clerkin. Winum and
Beery.

Attorney Clyde F. Beery stated that
no compromise legislation should be
allowed, that the people should state
to the Legislature what they want,
and have 1t enacted into law. II be-
lieve the federal plan will opsxate in
finitely better than the ridiculous form
we have now" he said, land I hope
our committee will start a general
crusade
Mr.. VIM. Clerkin said: "I have heard
remarks about increasing our tax
levy, and / would like the committee
to look after the bills we have paid,
and try to find out how the discrep-
ancy occurred. I would suggest that
this be done carefully. Go over the
books and investigate. IL the city
affairs have not been conducted upon
good business principles. let us know
1t, SO we can determine fairly whether
this plan of government has had q fair
show"
Examine the books by all means"
replied Commissioner McMillen.
Mr.. Winum recounted some of the
lax methods, accredited to the Board,
including the automobile incident, and
the matter Of taxing personal property.
Il believe II the personal property
were listed right we could add s., ,OOO.-
600 more to the duplicate" he said.

tive department, which will be made
of Departments Of Accounts, Law,
Public Safety and Public Improve
ments. Each department shall be an
swerable to the Mayor, and he direct
ly responsible to the people. All heads
Of departments will be under bond,
and held accountable by the Mayor
for all employees in his department.
The merit system will be introduced,
giving the Mayor power to appoint
all officials required for the various
departments, and they shall hold their
positions as long as their service is
satisfactory. They can never be re-
moved, except for cause. This will
strike death blow to the principle of
ITO the victor belongs the spoils."
However, all persons holding clerical,
or important positions, will be obliged
to pass examinations.
Few changes are suggested for the
present police system, but throughout,
the bill Is thorough, providing every
necessity and safeguard to the pub
lie.
In concluding his remarks, Judge
Tibbals said: I've want a government
that will be safe from political en-.
croachment; neither do, we want it
subject to religious rules which would
create dissension. Let us do something
to help us in our distress" 1t was
Judge Tibbals who presented the mo-
tion authorizing the Mayor to appoint
a committee to draft new form Of
government.

COMPLICATED.
How Col. Sanford Sized Up the
Situation.

Hon. II. G. Sanford declared that
the municipal government is the most
complicated thing in the world, and
that II any person expects TO frame
satisfactory government before
breakfast he will be ashamed of his
product. 1--WE know the evils exist
ing In our present form, and want
remedy, but I'll venture that you do
not fully appreciate what you'll have
on your hands in the matter Of having
uniform bill passed. Our present
form was pushed through by design
ing mep to make places for them
selves. In the matter of general form
l would suggest that it include cities
Of from 10000 TO 10000, and that one
Councilman might be elected to repre-
sent every 10000. The federal plan
is good, and should succeed, with the
Mayor as the chief executive. Have
few departments or heads. The Penn
sylvania Railroad Co. governs 10000
men, with only four departments. If
you can pass the Pugh-Kibler bill,
do so. but | am afraid you cannot. A
special code might be prepared for
Akron and Youngstown that would
suit better than the present form.
don't believe it will be necessary to
increase the tax levy. if the rate Of
personal property is fixed like mine
at the last appraisement-r raised from
$1,75O to $500. I'll admit that the
Commissioners have had hard time
of 1t, and l wonder, Bro. McMillen,
how you have lived through it ALL"

PUGH-KIBLER BILL
Explained and Commented Upon
BY Judge TibbaIs.

Judge N. D. Tibbals Is great ad-
mirer of the Pugh-Kibler BILL and has
studied 1t thoroughly. Monday night
he read and commented upon extracts
from a synopsis of it embodied in the
report of a committee Of the Ohio Bar
Association, appointed to review the
bill. Preceding his remarks on the
bill he said: Il believe the governments
of Ohio municipalities should be Of a
uniform character, containing less ma
chinery and less municipal taxation
the best at the least expense. Taxa
ton has become great burden to
the people, and we want to know how
we can remedy the condition. If our
city government has resulted unsatis-
factorily through the inability of
Council and the Commissioners to get
along well, we want to know it.
IF in the judgment of the commit
tee a special form of government is
considered best, let it be presented to
the people for discussion and approval.
Consider Senator Siebers bill. 1 do
not know much about 1t personally,
but IL there is anything good in it, let
us have it,
The revised Pugh-Kible bill, as ex-
planned by Judge Tibbals, contains,
among other things, the provision that
Ohio cities shall not be known by
class or grade. There will be but two
governments-for villages and cities.
All towns having population less
than 5000 will be known as villages,
and all exceeding 5000, as cities.
Councils will consist of but seven
members, with cities divided into four
Councilmanic districts. One member
shall be elected by each district and
three by the people at large, one of
which shall be president Of the Coun-
Gil. Each member will be elected for
term of two years, and shall receive
salary in proportion to his duties,
fixed by the people. All will be re-
quired to give bond, and be present at
every meeting, at roll call, or suffer
reduction of salary. No person shall
be eligible to election to Council who
holds another city position. While
the powers of Council will be great,
many safeguards are arranged so that
dereliction in office will be almost i'm
possible.
The Mayor will be head of the Execu-

NOW FOR A
NEW GOVERNMENT.

day night were Judge J. A. Kohler,
Hon. N. d. Tibbals, Prosecutor r. NJ.
Wanamaker, ex-Mayor w. Il. Young,
Attorney Nathan Morse, Attorney O.
f. Beery and Councilman Walker.
Hon. H. @. Sanford is in favor Of the
bill, If 1t can be passed, but he doubts
its success in the Legislature. Hon.
Chas w. Kempel believes a special
form Of government would suit Ak
ron best, and Commissioner McMillen
is of opinion that if conditions were
favorable the present form would re-
suit satisfactorily. Mr.. VIM. Clerkin
asked the committee to inquire into
the affairs of the city with view to
finding out if the present form of gov
ernment had been given fair show
if the Commissioners had conducted
the business properly. Councilman
Winum was also inclined to doubt
the fairness of the test of the Com
missioner law in Akron.
1t was further suggested that the
committee place itself In correspond.
ence with every city in the State, and
endeavor to arouse such enthusiasm
as would result in a united march to
Columbus to secure the passage of the
uniform government plan. This Is
regarded as great chance for Akron's
citizens to make themselves felt
throughout the entire State. Council
man Walker stated that the commit
tee appointed by Council will assist
the committe of 10 in every way pos
sible, deciding that one committee is
sufficient. .

eated that most excellent bill.

feated that most excellent bill.
"The simplest form of government
is the best and / am satisfied that a
Council Of seven members will be suf-
ficiently large. Having two members
from each ward enables them to trade
with each other for special favors, and
often this may result III TO the city.
l presume that our City Commission
ers are doing the best they can under
our present form Of government, than
which more awkward could not be
found. believe the Councllmen
should be paid, but they would not
require as much salary as the City
Commissioners are receiving.
II hope that politics will in no way
enter into our new government, If we
obtain 1t. Politicians with axes to
grind killed the Pugh-Kibler bill, but
II the people are in earnest it can be
passed for the entire State. believe
our present tax limit is high enough,
and that II all the property were
properly taxed we would soon have
money sufficient to pay our debts and
make new Improvements. I hope the
committee appointed by the Mayor
will look carefully after the matter
Of taxes. AS 1t is now, the burden
Is borne principally by land owners
Personal property should be made pay
its share Of the revenue, and believe
that corporatione Ouuht IN cont,.,huta n
more largely to the State tax fund"
