AN IMPORTANT MUNICIPAL EXPERIMENT

An IMPORTANT MUNICIPAL EXPERIMENT
The Finance Commission is permanent
part Of the Boston city government, provision
for its crea atiOn being portion Of the Bos-
ton charter that was not referred to the voters.
The commission has been appointed by Gov
ernor Draper of Massac achusetts, a non-partisan
body, three Democrats and two Republicans, if
we remember rightly. It succeeded the first
Finance Commission, which created to in
vestigate the misgovernment Of Boston and to
report plans for improving conditions there but
differs from it in this-that the original commits
sion was named by the Mayor of Boston. but
this one is appointed by the Governor of the
state The new commission has gone to work
at once and announced its intention OF scrutin-
izing Mayor Hbbards administration as thor
oughy as the earlier commission examined that
of Mayor Fitzgerald 1t has asked for and
ceived list of the salary increases authorized
by the Mayor since January l. 1t will investi-
gate certain contracts made by a number Of
city departments, being Informed that they have
not been made in accordance with the recon-
mendations of the previous Finance Commission.
1t will examine into all the city departments,
and in general give the present administration il
thorough overhauling.
We mention these things to indicate the func-
tions of the Finance Commission. The interest
ing feature Of the new investigating body is that
Boston experiment the beginning of what may
develop into state supervision of cities. Per
haps It should not be called the beginning, how
ever. Perhaps 1t would be better to describe
the Massachusetts requirement Of a uniform
system of municipal accounting among the
cities of the commonwealth, and reports by
them under this system to a state officer, as the
first step toward state supervision. But the
Boston experiment goes good deal further than
this. for in the case Of this one city state
board can go behind the returns and may sum-
mon witnesses and examine into the City's books
It's regulative functions may be compared to
those of the old state railroad commission,
which could investigate and advise. but not
enforce its recommendations. Nothing more
than the power of public opinion Is depended
upon to remedy evils that may be disclosed. If
a city's accounts reported under the uniform
system the proper state official disclose waste
and extra ~ngance, the state will do nothing but
make the figures public so that they can be
readily compared with those of the other Massa-
chusetts cities. and the citizens are depended
upon 70 consult the returns and address their
attention TO the abuses shown So the Boston
Finance Commission is only permanent investi-
eating commission. It has no power but 10

Argentina acted umpire between Bolivia
and Peru IN the arbitration of their boundary
dispute The result thus far IS that Bolivia. or
the people of the Bolivian capital, denounces the
award as infamous and commits against Argen-
tina acts which may be regarded as causes OF
war. Now. how would 1t do to have the trouble
between Bolivia and Argentina arbitrated with
some other power as umpire? Then, If either
party was dissatisfied with the verdict, there
could be another arbitration between it and the
umpire and so on in an endless chain until
everybody IN South America had been umpire
in somebody's else quarrel!

When enough were secured to make Il
coat the full length of the average
sized woman he sent the skins to a
furrier in Spokane and had them
made into full length coat for his
wife. The beautiful garment arrived

costly present-one that any woman
would go into ecstasies over.

Returned From Poverty Flats.

John F. Murphy and family have
returned from Il several months visit
with a son at Fullerton, Montana.
Fullerton is near the confluence of
the Judith and Missouri rivers and is
known as Poverty Flats. John is
quite jOsher and is possibly respOI-
sible for this enphoneous name for
Fullerton. But the residents got even
with him. Several Of them took
Murphy out jack rabbit hunting.
When they returned Murphy told the
astonished bystanders that he scared
up \ bunch OF fifteen rabbits: giving
shrill whistle the rabbits lined up
in a row and stopped at dress parade.
He took shot at them with his rifle
and brought down the whole fifteen.
That's Johns story. The true one is:
The boys had dead rabbit located
on all tours Il considerable distance
from Fullerton and led Mr.. Murphy
up to within shooting distance. John
took careful aim and fired, but the
animal never budged. lie shot again
with the same result. His boosted
reputation as a marksnan was shat
tered, and his companions proceeded
to give him the boisterOus lla, ha. 1t
was several minutes before John dis
covered that the rabbit had been
staked out and couldn't be knocked
over with club = and since then
Murphy has been very busy advertis-
ing Fullerton as Poverty Flats.

was in Judith Gap Tuesday in his

improvements and laid over from
Monday night till Tuesday afternoon.
TO Il Journal man he said the new
time card for the fast through trains
would be out in a few weeks, and that
the trains would be put OH about the
23rd Of May.
In regard to the y connection here
between the Great Northern and Mil

ter was progressing satisfactorily and
he looked for the connection to be
made within few weeks. 1.-The
Great Northern has been in favor of
It," he said, "but the Milwaukee has
opposed it. The last legislature
passed law giving the railroad COM
missioners power to force connections
to be made at such points as this. and
do not anticipate any further delay

He does not believe that the two
roads would ever have a connection
