Yesterday, IN a special article on
the workings Of the Des Moines
plan, written by Editor Beckman
of Des Moines, The Press told what
change the commission wrought
in the method of procuring action
on street improvements. This fea-
ture of the plan should be of ps-
cuiiar interest in Spokane.
Today's article, from the same
writer, demonstrates the difference
between a session of the old style
city council and that of the cora
mission. Spokane has the ward
system and ought to understand It
by this time. Beckman says:
"The old council in Des Moihes
was an imitation Legislative body
not business institution. Its mem
bers met weekly. They came to
meetings from private business or
work that had so completely taken
their time since the preceding ses-.
sion that they had not given much
thought or attention to public az
fairs. They were consequently only
partly informed about urgent mat.
tiers Of business and their commit.
tee reports we're unpreparcd. Bust.
ness was probably disposed of with
out full understanding of it, or
else postponed a week.
"lf you dropped In on one of
these meetings you would probably
hear the alderman from tho
'steenth ward waking the echoes Of
the city hall with impassioned ora
tory on the rights of his constitu.
ents to as many electric arc lights
as any other ward. His constitu-
ents, who set beyond the railing,
out in the audience chamber, ap-
plauded him; his fellow aldermen
appeared bored or whispe red
among themselves about other
things, fully understanding that the
alderman from the 'steenth was,
merely playing the game. II YOU
had an important matter to present,
you found It difficult to get down
to brass tacks and talk business
with these counciImen arrayed be-
hind desks like SO many United
States senators asse mbled to make
laws rather than to pave streets,
repair them, build sidewalks, order
sewers, and the like.
"lf you were to drop into the new
council In Des Moines you would
find five men seated conveniently
together, much as a board Of direc-
tors of business institution would
assemble. They have no private
business to interfere with their
work for the city; they come full OF
information about the city's affairs,
and they are prepared to sit In SEES
sion all day and the next day II nac.
essary to dispose Of their work.
Tho city pays for all their time and
gets Il. Each councilman or COM
missioner comes with a schedule. Of
the business that has arisen in Ms
department since the last meetihns
which was only the day Before W.
terday. He knows all about every
item on this schedule; he tells
about 1t briefly when II is his tibne
to tell about il. The other md M
bers say yes or no, their decisioI ii
recorded and the matter is ended
without the Intervention of commit
tee and the possibility of its being
chucked into pigeon hole to ac-
cumulate dust. There is no oratory
In these meetings-just plain bust
ness talk. Counciimen do net plead

Washington, March 9.-Re publican
members of the House are being can
vassed with a view to obtaining their
opinions as to the advlsabillty of at
tempting tariff legislation at an extra
session of Congress to be called al
most Immediately after the adjourn
ment Of Congress March 4, 1903,
Representative sherman, chairman of

have been approached refuse to dis

Is to have the announcement made, IL

be prepared to revise the tariff i'm
mediately after the adjournment of

TO Prepare Changes This Summer.
This plan contemplates permission
to the ways and means committee to
sit during the recess and get every
thing in readiness for the prepara-
ton OF tariff bill. 1t Is largely a
couut,-r movement against the de-
mand for a tariff commission and in
line with the remarks made by the
speaker to the delegation which came
to Washington in the interest of the
Beveridge bill. Genuine tariff revi-
sionists are not inclined to take en-
couragement from the movement. A
direct pledge in the Republican plat
form in consonance with the fire.
quently expressed views of Secretary
Taft on the subject would, III the
opinion of the Republican tariff re-
visionists, meet the situation much
more satisfactorily. If this action OF
the Republican convention should fol-
low a congressional movement look
ing to tariff revision it would give the
Republicans a ready answer to Demo-
cratic attacks in their congressional
campaign.
Taft and Revision Their Hope.
1t is pretty generally conceded by
representatives.. who will have to con-
front a constituency favoring tariff
revision. that their only hope of sue
cess Is in the nomination of Taft and
a plank i'm the national platform
which Incorporates his views on the
question. Platform declarations in
favor of tariff revision with Cannon
or Knox 1r Fairbanks as the candi-
| date for president would not deceive
the voters, and the scores of Repub'
| lican congressman who would &c
down in the fight understand the sit
uation thoroughly.
1t is everywhere recognized that &
| revision of the tariff could not be at
| tempted at the session of Congress!
