NEW PLAN OF GOVERNMENT
Five Commissioners to Rule City Of
Des Moines.

Des Moines, June 22.-For the next
six years Des Moines will be ruled by
central form of city government
composed of an elective commission
of five BY majority of 2,219 the
city carried the so-called Des Moines
plan, built similar to the Galveston
ID Los Angeles systems. The unoffi-
Il returns from every one Of the
Wcnty-nine precincts give 6,044 in
favor of the proposition and 4,143
against.
1t was the most exciting municipal
election ever held in Iowa and the
largest vote ever polled in the city
showed the unusual interest aroused.
Scores of women tried to vote. only to
be turned away at the polls. 1t was
virtually a fight between the noliti-
clans and the reformers and the re-
formers won.
The new plan provides for COM
mission Of five, who serve term of
two years. Each commissioner is
given separate department OF the
city government after the board
chooses a mayor from their number.
They have the right Of executive ses-
sion, but the granting of any franchise
must be left to q popular vote. The
parties at the primaries meet on COM
mon ground and choose ten candi-
dates, who are then voted on at the
spring election, five being chosen.
The people at any time have power
to oust any or all of the commission
ers by petition signed by rs per cont
OF the voters.

IoWA'S GOOD EXAMPLE.
Has Made Law Providing For Uni
formity In Municipal Accounts.

Has Made Law Providing For Uni
formity In Municipal Accounts.
Iowa is setting an example to her
sister states which they would be wise
to follow as expeditiously as possible.
She has recently put into effect a law
providing for uniform system of mu-
nicipal accounting which, if properly
executed, viii make 1t easy to see
whether municipal plants are paying
their way. If such law had been in
general operation fifteen years ago it
is probable that by this time the agi-
tatlOn for municipal ownership would
have entirely ceased, in view of the
damaging facts that such reports
would inevitably have brought out.
Under the provisions of this Iowa
law the state auditor is required to
formulate and prescribe a system of
municipal accounts, in preparing which
he shall be assisted by an advisory
committee of municipal accountants.
So far as practicable the latest and
most improved methods of accounting
are to be adopted, and all cities and
towns are required to report annually
to the state auditor on the forms pre-
scribed by him.
The auditor shall appoint one or
more examiners of municipal accounts
who shall at least once in two years
report upon the financial conditions
and transactions OF all cities of 5000
population or more and OF smaller
cities or towns upon request

The municipality owned electric light

for this is a desire on the trustees

consumers of coal to lay in a supply
during the summer months and
thereby avoid the inconvenience
which must result on account of a
shortage of cars next winter which
in my opinion will be much more
acute than was the shortage of last
winter, unless the consumers lay in

WILL DISCUSS ARMAMENTs.
Great Britain to Breach Subject at
Peace Conference.

London, April 18-The delegates
who will represent Great Britain at
The hague peace conference have
been selected and their names will
be announced in a few days. The
British delegates will be instructed
to bring up the question of the re-
duction of expenditure on ornaments,
and will breach the subject immedi
ately after the opening address, in
which the chief Russian delegate will
explain the Russian program, if the
subject is not included in that pro-
gram. Great Britain is taking this
step not because of a belief that the
powers will agree to reduce British
ornaments, but because it believes
the discussion will have a good moral
effect among the peoples of various
countries. The British government
therefore does not understand why
Germany should dissent from the
proposal to bring up the question, as
to nullify it German delegates would
simply have to vote against it.

Opposes THE PROPOSITION TO
DOUBLE ALLOWANCE.
FAIR BUT NOT EFFECTIVE
GAINESVILLE Senator Doubts Whether
Better Men Would Serve as Legis-
Iators for 81 200 Per Session Than
for $500-ResoIution Concurred in
Fl to 8.

Madison, April IL.
BY a vote of q to s the senate yes
terday concurred in the assembly res
olution to change the constitution so as
to increase the pay of members OF the
legislature from $500 to $1,000 per
session. Senator Whitehead was the
only one to speak on the matter,
briefly stating his reasons for oppos-
ing it. He said that the proposition
was manifestly fair one, that $500
does not recompense a member for the
time and expense involved in serVi :,
as legislator, but he expressed Sc /
GUS doubts whether the doubling OF
the allowance would cause the st tie
to get any better men to make the
laws than now, and he thought the
class of legislators would be lowered
rather than raised The vote was as
follows:
For $1,000 salaries-Senators Bar
