be due to the sun.

COMMISSION FOR
CITIES ls FAVORED.
(Shawnee Ilerald.)

tShawnee llerald)
The remarkable raDidity with
which the commission form OF city
government Is making headway Is
again Illustrated by the following
from the Shawnee News
There Is strong sentiment In
Shawnee in favor OF asking the first
state legislature for a special charter
for the administration Of city at-'
fairs This sentiment Is strongest
among the business men who have
reached the opinion that the city has
outgrown the present system which
Is not cosmopolitan and adequate for
the proper management Of city at
fairs as they should be In large
city Some OF the features OF the
proposed bill will be the providing
OF commissioner form of govern
ment instead OF city council and
mayor as now In vogue. Also Il is
more than probable that the fire and
police departments Will be put on a
civil service basis,
Under the commission FORM
which has been very successful where
IL has been tiiod. as IN Galveston
and Los Angeles and other cities nf
the United States. the citizens elect
three or more commissioners who
have the same power that is now IN
vested In the mayor and city cOnn.
al Numerous safeguards are thrown
about the Offie ais. as far example an
franchisees an6 similar matters Of
great Importance are submitted di-
rectly TO vote of the people The
duties Of the commissioners are more
OF an executive nature than iegisia
tive. although ihey have power %
pass ordinances and other measures
that may be demanded In this man
nor city affairs are handled quicker
and more speedily, the same a. an
individual corporation would Trans
act business II puts the whole ad-
ministration on more business-like
basis and they are directly respOn-
slble for the welfare OF the commun-
ity Anything can be treated at
once Ia place OF waiting for eoun-
ty or city meetings and long conten-
tions 10 subside as at nresent. and in
every way the cities trying this l0rIu
have met with unprecedented succeas.
The idea Is ripe that u would be the
greatest boon for Shawneein addition
TO being far ahead Of amy system now
known in The new state"
