HOW MARSHALLTOWN MANAGES

Waterloo Reporter.]
The city OF Marshalltown has de-
cided to install meters on all water
consumers, after an experiment with
one hundred patrons of the municipa
plant The experiment developed that
only four out of the one hundred paid
more money on their meters. The de-
partment is fully convinced that the
meter system is the only fair way to
handle the water business - fair to
both consumer and city alike. Inc
former pays for just what he gets and
the latter, while not deriving so much
revenue, makes a saving on water and
fuel consumed because the consumer
is more careful and does not waste
The Marshalltown system seems TO
be one of the most successful or the
municipality owned plants in Iowa.
Next year there will be no water tax
collected, conditions existing seeming
to warrant no levy being made this
wear because OF no pressing need of
repairs or improvements. If that is
the actual fact 1T is practical 'realiza-
tion of the ideal. Other towns have
done the same thing and boosted
about the self sustaining condition OF
the system, but few years later
when some extensions were badly
needed and repairs were imperative,
there was no money to make either.
The record of an administration was
made, but the people paid II all In the
end, with plenty added for experience.
It is hoped Marshalltown Is confront
ing condition and not theory that
tickles.

LACEY AND the CABINET.

The story from Washington to the ef-
feet that Congressman Lacey has some
show Of being invited into the cabinet
to act as secretary Of the interior
might arouse swell Of justifiable
pride in the Iowa breast were 1t not
for the fact that the correspondent
sending the tale has been known to
work very much overtime suggesting
Iowans for most Of the high places
likely to become vacant. However.
aside from many political conditions
that place such an event almost with
out the realm of probability, the sug-
gestion Of itself has merit.
There is not another man in public
life today possessing more special
knowledge Of the details of our
public lands department than does
Major Lacey of Iowa. For many
years he has held the craftsmanship Of
the house committee on public lands
and a membership on the committee
OI lJuidlI S1lG WV hAPOk sAhS
branches Of the work OF the department
of the interior. Being careful and
assiduous worker at his committee du-
ties Major Lacey has suggested and
secured by legislation many impor-
tant reforms in the governments ad-
ministration of its public lands and
Indian affairs. He is pre- eminently
an honest man as well as man of
ability and his advent into depart
ment that shall have to deal with fu-
ture land frauds would be a distinct
gain to the public service.
To many of us it has seemed that
Major Lacey has paid entirely too
close attention to the suggestions OF
railroad bosses in Iowa politics, but
no suspicion of servile obedience has
been cast upon him and there is room
for argument over an excuse in that
the bosses have held tremendous po-
litical power in times past, without
which Major Lacey could not have re-
NAMED in congress. Then again, some
of the majors best friends have eau
toned him that his jealousy of Cum
Minis rise to political eminence and
senatorial possibility has been unbe-
fitting a. man of his breadth of char
acter. A great many of US who like
him as man would even work to
keep him out of the United States sem
ate because he is "standpatter from
Standpattersville," an exclusionist and
standstiller on the tariff and recip-
rocity issues. We are also opposed
on general principles to seeing Presi-
dent Roosevelt surrounded with any
more "let we'll enough alone" advisers,
but when Shaw goes out Of the cabi-
net ana when Secretary Hitchcock
quits IL Major Lacey should be called
there are whole lot of us who, while
we would like to have him do differ
emily on prominent Issues, are going
to take our hats off and own up that
better equipped man for the depart
ment Of the interior could hardly be
found
