mr.. MYERS IS HERE.
Ready to Extend City Railway From
Quinton Line to Washburn.

L E Meyers, president Of Edison COM
pany of this city, and vice president of
the Topeka street railway, arrived in town
from Chicago today on business connected
with the two corporations
When asked about the proposed extern
sion of the street railway from Quinton
Heights to the end of the Washburn line,
Mr. Myers said:
1--WE have always been willing to do this
but on account of the action of the city
council we could not follow out our plans;
With the permission of the city council
we would make the extension at once
Mr. Myers also stated that the pay-as-
you-enter-cars which were supposed to be
in Topeka two months ago were expected
tomorrow morning and they would be on
ed from the train.
Mr.. Myers was greatly dissatisfied with
the election of the commission form of
government last night. II don't like the
SYSTEM he said. 1T is going to be a
hard matter to work the commission plan
as it has been claimed. don't think the
salaries are high enough and I think they
should be elected for period of at least
five years.

JOHNSON'S WORK ENDS.
Street Railway Question Will Be Set
tied Before He Retires.

Cleveland, Nov. 3.-One anomaly
of the post election situation is that
the street railway question will be
permanently settled before Mayor
Johnson relinquishes the mayoralty.
The rate of fare to be three cents
at first and never greater than four
cents for a cash fare or seven tickets
for 25 cents, has already been agreed
to between the city and railway own
ers. Detailed terms of the franchise
also have been settled and there re-
mains for Judge Taylor only the work
of fixing the value of the railway
property, on which the, six per cent
earnings are to be computed. The
earnings are never to exceed six per
cent and any surplus shall be used in
lettering the service.
city ordinance embodying all of
these features will be passed by the
present. city council within the next
month. Then will follow the refer
endum vote on the franchise. Past
elections indicate that the public is
friendly to the proposed contract.
The total vote announced by the
board of elections gives Baehr Al LAP;
Johnson 37,709, and John G. Millert,
socialist 1859.

Provident Association Cared for 1000

When the report of Guy T. Justis,
general secretary of the Provident as
ISOLATION is read at the annual meet

show that the wants of approximately
1000 people have received attention
during the past year against about
1000 during the year previous.
Every department of the institution
has grown during the year just brought

been expended through the association,
which is an aggregate amount of more
than $1,000 larger than during the
previous twelve months.
This is the first year that it has been

middle of March. The regular election
for the choice of the mayor and four
commissioners will be held on the first
Tuesday in April.
At the primaries, anyone can become
a candidate for mayor or commission
er who receives on his petition the
names of twenty qualified voters. These
petitions are handed to the city clerk
land the man becomes a candidate Of
ficially and is placed on the primary
ballots.
The next move is to select the can
didates for the regular election in
April When the results for the pri-
mary are counted, the two highest can
didates from vote standpoint are
made regular candidates for the final
election. The eight candidates for COM
missioners receiving the highest num-
Der of votes are selected for regular
material. Thus at the regular election
in April there are ten candidates-two
ers.
In some cities the first list of candi-
date which are chosen on account of
their twenty petitions run up into the
twenties and thirties. In Wichita and
Des Moines for instance, the first list
of eligibles numbered almost forty.
The salaries are divided into two di-
visions-the salaries paid to the mayor
and to the commissioners. The mayor
may get $500 a year. This is up to the
say whether he shall receive the limit
or whether he shall receive a salary on
the same basis as themselves.
The commissioners are entitled to ST.
800 a year. They also have the power
to make their own salary under the
