 Government by commission Is spread ing. Following the example of Calves ton, Houston, Memphis and several other southern cities, Des Moines, Iowa, has taken the first steps toward adopt ing the commission system of govern ment, acting under the recent act of the Iowa legislature which permits cities of over 25,OOO population to adopt such system, if they so decide by pop ular vote. Two-thirds of the legal vot- CTS of Des Moines, it is said, have sign cd petition for a special election to decide the matter, Under the Iowa law there are to be five commissioners, chosen directly by the people. Business men of Des Moines generally support the plan.
 The idea that municipal government ought to have more business than poli- tics in 1t seems to be so good that 1t is not surprising that it is finding favor And if it works as we'll as it has in Galveston, for instance, it will continue to find favor.
