and prominent captilast has do
mated $50. 1000 to the Old Folks
home.
In religious circles, the Methodist
denomination has Just finished the
new First Methodist church, a mag
nificent stone structure of Ionic ar
chitecture, costing in the neighbor-
hood Of 100000. Several other
church buildings are in various stag
es of development. The significance
of these expenditures is striking. No
other city of equal population in the
United States has been giving SO
largely during the same time.
Before these vast contributions to
benevolent, educational and religious
ends We're made, movement for the
| commercial betterment of the city
under the guidance of small group
of men organized the Greater Des
| Moines committee, had produced a
fund of $4,000 that is being spent in
a well defined campaign of city pro-
| motion.
Like all of the one hundred largest
| cities in the United States, Des
| Moines has discovered that large un-
dertakings requiring public contribu-
| lions could not be successfully con-
| cluded until the commercial life of
| the city had an accession of vitality.
Make money for the individual and
we can get money for the public
good" has been the policy of this
committee -a.s
To round out this period of ener-
getic effort, the Greater Des Moines
committee has organized a coliseum
company which will build an enor-
nous show building for commercial
| purposes, conventions, trade exhibi-
tions, musical recitals, horse and
stock shows and spectacular amuse-
ment entertainments that require a
| structure with a seating capacity Of
10000. Prominent business men are
back of the venture and also busy on
the plans to erect a fine downtown
club house with metropolitan ar
| rangements which will cost 100000.
The slogan of the new movement
is "Des Moines Does Things" Truly
it speaks of facts.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1908-07-15

Des Moines, the capital and also
the commercial center of Iowa, has
adopted a new system of municipal
government, which because of it's
distinctive features has been chris
tened the Des Moines plan. To fix
responsibility for administrative acts
is the essence of the plan. The sec
ond consideration was to have
governing body responsive to the
popular will. A combination of these
two elements in proper relationship,
would produce highly effective gov
eminent. -F~+. ..'. r.
The administration of municipal
affairs, under the Des Moines plan,
is in the hands of a board consisting
of the mayor and four councilmen.
The board stands in the same rela-
ton to the business of government
as the directors of a trading corpora
ton bear to the company's business.
The mayor and council make all ap-
pointments, appropriate all funds,
levy and collect taxes, establish rules
for the direction of subordinate Of
ficials and direct the expenditure of
money. In order that the re-
sponsibility for official acts may be
| still further fixed, the business of the
city is divided into five departments:
public affairs, accounts and fnan-
ces,S public safety, street and public
improvements, park and public prop
erty. Each member of the council
is assigned by mutual agreement to
4 one of these departments, the mayor
assuming by virtue.of his Office, the
department of public affairs. Each
councilman, therefore, become indi.
,vidually responsible for the conduct
of the affairs of his department over
which he exercises the authority of a
superintendent. 3d.. f.
Up to this point the Des Moines
plan does not differ from the system
of government Instituted in Calves
ton, after the city was swept away
by the flood. But the Des Moines
plan has other features. Coupled
| with this almost autocratic power
and individual responsibility on the
part of the councilmen, is the recall.
Although the officers are elected for
a definite term, yet by exercising the
recall they may be removed from Of
nee at any time a majority of the
electors believe them to be dishonest
or inefficient. A portion, of 25 per
cent of the voters compels the accus-
ed office holder to again go before the
people for their endorsement or re-
lection. At no time is a councilman
free from the immediate authority
of the electorate.
The initiative and the referendum
are also combined with the recall,
in the Des Moines plan. Under the
initiative the voters regain the power
of direct legislation, although the
council might be opposed to the spec
