BUSINESS BASIS.
City Commissioner Bill Intro
duced in Both Houses.
Provides for New Plan of Con-
Quoting municipalities.

Senator J. H. Stewart of Wichita, and
Representative W. A. S. Bird of To-
peka, introduced today in the respec-
tive branches of the legislature the bill
which has been prepared in the main
by the city officials of Topeka provid-
ing that cities of the first class on a
majority vote of their electors shall be
governed by a commission consisting
of a mayor and four commissioners who
shall have all the functions now resting
in the hands Of the mayor and common
council and many additional powers as
well.
A joint meeting of the committees of
the senate and the house on the affairs
Of cities of the first class will be held
on some day next week to give this bill
preliminary consideration and 1t is I'M
derstood that all who are interested in
the measure will be invited to attend
this meeting and express their views.
Considerable interest is manifested in
the mea sure by the senators and repre-
SentativeS who come from districts con-
tanning cities of the first class. And
there seems to be a disposition on their
part to favor the measure because it
does not make it mandatory for the
cities OF the first class to adopt the COM
mission plan. 1t merely permits the
voters Of city Of this class to decide
whether or not their city shall be gov
erned by the commission plan or under
the plan which now prevails.
1t is provided in the bill that none
of the commissioners shall be less than
rs years of age and shall have been
a citizen of the United States for three
years Immediately preceding his cleo
ton. a resident of the city for two
years prior to his election and a bona
hde owner of real estate in the city
None of the commissioners shall hold
any state, federal, county or other city
office.
Compensation for the mayor and
commissioners is fixed as follows: In
cities of from Is, 900 to 10000 popu1a-
ton, $1,000 for the mayor and $1,000
for each commissioner; in cities from
10000 to $4,000 population the mayor
is to receive $4,000 and each commits
sioner is to have $1,000; in cities with
over $4,000 population the mayor is to
receive $4,000 and each commissioner
is to receive $2.500. In cities of from
1000 to $4,000 the mayor shall de.
vote at least six hours per day to the
duties Of his office and in cities of
more than $4,000 population the mayor
shall devote his entire time to the
city's business. In entering office the
mayor and commissioners shall give a
bond at least for ten thousand dollars
for the faithful discharge of their du-
ties.

What the Retiring County Onicers Are
Doing.

With the advent of new officers at
the court house the old force who have
held positions varying in length of SER
vice from one to twenty-one years are
who has been sheriff for the past four
years will open real estate office
with his father at 100 West Fifth street
within the next few days.
John Ostrand, who has been his office
deputy, will return to his farm near
k1ro, which he left to assume the office
duties soon after the election of Sher-
ff Lucas. George Charles, who was
also a member of the sheriff's force,
Will return to the restaurant business
which has been conducted by his wife
Carl Lawson will return to the carpen-
ter department of the Santa Fe Rail-
way company.
There are no changes in the office of
urer does not retire until next October.
In the county clerks Office there was a
clean sweep. County Clerk NJ. Snattin-
ger, who is a retired capitalist, will fall
back on his old business of bond clip
ping and interest collecting. Henry
Monroe, who was assistant, has accept
ed a position under Sheriff Wilkerson.
s. H. Haynes, who was defeated for
commissioner by r. B. Simns, has been
selected as purchasing agent for the
county and will not return to his farm
as he has four children in Washburn
college and the city high school. His
salary as purchasing agent is only $3.50
per year.
County Attorney Hungate, who re-
tires has formed a law partnership
with c. A. Magaw with offices in the
Crawford building. Captain McNary
has not decided as yet what he will
do but will probably return to the prac-
tice of law. W. I. Jamison has been
reappointed office deputy by County
Attorney John Schenck.
Register of Deeds John Marshall says
that he guesses that he will go to the
poor house but it is more than an even
guess that he will take the active man
agement of the bossing of the best band
in Kansas, which has been brought to
its present state of efficiency by his
management. I. S. Curtis. who has been
in the district clerks office for a little
more than 81 years as clerk, and deputy
will open an abstract Office at 108 West
Fifth street within the next week or
ten days, having purchased the abstract
records formerly owned by William
Hall Jenkins

MR.. sTERNE EXPLAINS IT.
Gives Commissioners Side of Con-
troversy With County Clerk.

County Commissioner w. z. Sterne gave
out the following statement today:
THE board of county commissioners in
selecting a purchasing agent exercised
their best Judgment. During the past
three years more than $1,000 has been
saved the county by changing the former
method of purchasing and distributing
largely responsible for this change. and
will work with the board in carrying out
their reforms. We considered him in every
way moro suitable for the position than
Mr. Zimmerman.
1.-THE county clerk in his communica-
ton last evening says:
Supplies must be given out at all
hours of the day, and as the commission
are in session but small portion of
each week the officers who draw their
supplies from the county should have ac-
cess to them without being compelled to
walt several days or until the board of
commissioners are in session.
Now, that is just what we have shut
off. The time was that each occupant of
the court house could run into the clerks
office and call for what he wanted We
now require each head officer to file
what is necessary and furnish it. We
meet Monday and Friday of each week.
1t would be imDrOVident officer that
could not anticipate his wants three days
in advance. The present method will not
be changed by this board. and the office
pay political obligations. If the people
want it different they can easily change
it. Next year two commissioners and
county clerk will be elected. If it is
thought best to throw the bars down and
brush aside all restrictions, then the
and men of different views selected for

Senator Carmack announced that he
heartily supported the president in his
action discharging the negro soldiers.
The action of the legislature of his state
taking the same position met his per-
sonal views.
Mr.. Carmack then paid his respects to
the president as follows:
II think it proper to say that any re-
port that senators may have heard that
the president personally solicited my
support in this matter; that he urged
me to forgive and forget certain ener-
getic personal remarks and begged me
to stand between him and those twin
enemies of his administration, the SEN
ators from South Carolina and Ohio, is
a gross exaggeration. / will not say
that it is an Infamous falsehood, be-
cause such language belongs to the
vocabulary of presidential controversy
rather than that of senatorial debate.

heard that I have been moved to un-

for that strong, brave, large minded
gentleman, the secretary of war. My

TOM CoRDRY's son LANDS.
Gets the Sinecure in Office of State
Treasurer.

Sheffield Cordry, son of Tom Cor
dry of Parsons, has been appointed by
State Treasurer Mark Tully to the
job of assistant bond clerk. This
position has not very pressing duties
attached, and was adde dto the state
treasurer's list of appointments mere
ly through political jugglery.
1t is possible that the legislature
will rearrange some of the job lists in
the various state offices. At the last
session. the state auditor came before
the legislature and wanted more help
in his office, to handle the increased
business of the office. The auditors
plea for more help was well founded,
but he found that State Treasurer
Kelly would insist upon having his of
fee force similarly increased, or would
fight the auditors bill. 1t was neces-
sary for the auditor to allow Kelly to
get what he wanted, in order to Sc
cure the necessary increase in his
own office. The result was that Kelly
had an extra job to give away in his
office and bestowed it upon a news
paper man whom he wanted to use as
his press agent, and the state pa1o
S1400 for this luxury.
