cURPLUs AND THE TARIFF

According to Washington reports, the
treasury will show a surplus of sSI .OOO-
600 this fiscal year, next to the largest
surplus ever shown. and within :some
81 600. 600 of the highest record,' The
revenue was $500, 900, 900, and the ex-
penditure S57S.00O, O00, or about $4,000
600 more than the expenses IF last
year. The great increase in Tfvenue
comes from tariff taxes on imports, al
though the internal revenue il also
larger than last years.
The significant thing about the Show
ing is the demonstration of tie fact
that the tariff is excessive and .qnnec-
essarily so, and could well be Tefuced
so far as revenue requirements are af-
fected by it. a surplus is Coqnforta-
bic surprise in government opefdtions
but it is a painful matter for doptem-
plation by the people who have TIP fur
nish it, In spite of the most ettrava-
CANT expenditures that could NE de-
vised by congress bent on perpi tuat-
ing a high tariff; i'm spite of the Extra
ordinary increase in appropriations of
all sort by the recent "billio1-dollar
congress-" in spite of the INCREASE in
government costs generally, thd treas
ury figures show that an enpTmOus
sum in excess of actual requiHesnents
has been paid by the people and most
of it has come by indirect thkation
through a tariff devised principally
for the benefit of the trusts
Considerable ingenuity will be ieeded
to convince the plain people WHO pay
the bills that there is any need flor the
continuance of a tariff which pIQduces
a surplus of this size, especially when
such good old rOckribbed tariff bene-
ficiaries as the Republicans of j Hasa
chusetts begin to f1dget and talk' about
tariff revision. Indications now point
pretty clearly to the tariff as the chief
issue of. the next campaign: andI if the
Democratic leaders are wise they will
see to it that discussion is direc.ed to-
ward that subject.

CITY GOVERNMENT IN IOWA

few days ago the voters of 'Des
Moines, Ia, decided by largel ma
jority to take advantage of thbI act
passed by the last state legisEaIt ure
giving the larger cities the right to
establish government by coIbtnis-
siOn'' 1t is significant that the poll
ticians almost to a man Fought the
proposition in Des MOines. And; they
were defeated only because the Idther
side succeeded in arousing public hsnti-
ment AS the Des Moines experiment
will be watched with much interfat. it
may be well 10 outline here some pa the
more important features of the iowa
law.
The measure is based, of courid on
| the Galveston Houston idea. Butt the
| Iowa statute is intended to covei Epe-
cial local conditions, as well as tbIem-
! body the general theories of the Texas
law. Under the Iowa act all mum cipaI
powers are to be concentrated; In a
| board composed of the mayor and four
councilmen. These councilmen al e not
elected by wards. The whole city.votes
/ for them, and they are, properly speak
ing, councilmen-at-large. Partys pol
| itics are not permitted to enter INTO a
campaign, it being provided that: the
officers must be elected by the Use of
ballots that contain no party deaise.
| Five administrative branches Of icity
! government are provided for, with one
/ of the cOuncilmen or the mayer in
charge of each, All board mel tngs
are to be held in public. In the f.lec-
/ ton of subordinate officials the bptire
beard has voice AMI vote. THIS the
| responsibility and the power ara CON
centrated and centralized. Andt thus
/ far the system varies but little from
the Texas idea. The Iowa statute goes
/ further however.
The voters are given direct control
both before and after the electiora For
any commissioner may be Ousted from
Office during the term for which ne is
elected if a majority of the voters de-
Clares in favor of ousting him., To
bring the question before the pubic al
d special election, it is only necessary
for % per cent of the voters to tpeti-
ton for a special election. Thea: too
there is an initiative and refereidum
system under which the people car
vote down legislation they do nod like
or make laws entirely without theI con-
sent of the commission whenever ithey
| so desire,
No franchise can be granted by the
| commission without the consent Of the
voters. Every grant must be submit
ted TO them for approval or rejection
| There are those who believe hiatt Des
/ Moines will be the first American city
to really solve the problem of ,cIean
| efficient local government.
