been reduced by 100000, from the

bond issue of $25o,ooo would make

only $4,000 more than it was in

War ships and most of their crews

was correspondent for the Associated

could be advanteouly adopted by 9th
er cities without modification. In
deed, there are striking, though min
or, divergences between the charters
of the two cities, thus the Mayor
President and Commissioners of Gal
weston are paid small salaries (the
Mayor President $4,000 and the Com
missioners $1,000 each), and they are
not expected to give their entire time
to the work. Their functions are
like those of directors in a private
corporation. They meet at night, dis
cuss the citys affairs, and agree on a
policy. The appointive heads of de-
partments are held responsible for re-
suits. In Houston, on the other hand
the officials are paid larger salaries
(the Mayor $4,000 and the Aldermen
$4,000 each), and the charter requires
them to give all their time to the
work. 1t has been urged that the men
whom the city needs for Aldermen
cannot give up their entire time to
the work for the salary offered, and
that the Galveston plan in this re-
spect is better for city of, say, less
than one hundred thousand inhabi-
tants.
Again, it has been suggested that
it would be better that the city elect
five Aldermen, instead of four, and
that the Aldermen elect the Mayor
A popular man with small business
ability might be elected Mayor, as
often happens in American cities.
Whereas it is felt that the responsible
board of managers of the city would
be more apt to select its most cap
able member as its executive head.
These, of course, are minor details
which must be worked out in the
light of fuller experience.
Meanwhile it is interesting to OBJ
serve that the movement toward cen
tralization is being widely discussed;
that the officials of Galveston have
been fairly swamped with letters
of inquiry; that San Antonio and
Fort Worth are considering the ad-
visibility of following the exa;mpll
of the two largest Texas cities, and
that the officials of Topeka and Of
Kansas City, Kansas, have applied to
the Kansas Legislature for permits
sion to submit the commission form
of government to popular vote.

ment was introduced Now these pla-
ces have been practically suppressed.
Formerly the saloons were open all
ly after one o'clock in the afternoon.
Although the Council has been crit.
cised for failure to enforce the State
law to the letter, many well-informed
persons feel that it has gone as far
as public sentiment sanctions.
That it commands the support of
the public is indicated by the fact
that more than a thousand persons
recently petitioned the Mayor and
the four Aldermen to become cam
didates for reelection. This is near
ly quarter of the voting population,
for Houston, incidentally, disfran-
chises what it considers the irrespon-
sible voter requiring a receipt for a
poll tax of $3.50 as condition for
casting the ballot. And only about
1850 of voting population of per-
haps $4,000 go to the polls on cleo
ton day.
With the experience of the aver
age American municipality in mind,
it might possibly be taken for grant
ed that the majority of persons would
agree that the Capitalization plan
would generally result in inreased
efficiency, but that one insurmount-
able objection would occur to them.
That's all very we'll, they would say,
but what about franchise grabs? Our
present SYSTEM, with its interminablc
debates and committee references, is
cumbersome enough in the transac-
ton of ordinary business; but at
least it prevents or makes less easy
the theft of valuable rights by pub
lie service corporations.
Houston, too, realized this diff
Guilty, and this is the way it met it.
The charter provides, in the first place
for the publication once week for
three consecutive weeks of the fran
chise ordinance. The publication is
at the expense of the applicant. In
the second place, it provides that the
ordinance cannot become effective
until thirty days after it shall have
been signed by the Mayor. Lastly,
on the petition of five hundred voters
the Council is required to call spec
ial election at which the franchise
must be submitted to popular vote
A majority vote is necessary to con-
firm the Councils grant.
In this way the rights of the city
are as carefully safeguarded as they
possibly could be even in municipali
ties where franchise ordinances are
threshed over in two houses of thu
Council before they go to the Mayor
