Single or Separate Boards

Senator Alsdorf's bill proposing u
single board of control for all OF the
stae's charitable and benevolent in
stlutlOns Is by no means new. 1t
may differ in detail from bills for
the same purpose introduced at for
mer sessions but the fundamental
principle Is the same.
Heretofore bills Of this character
have got no further than to be
.'welcOmed to an early and inhcs-
ptable grvae' by the committees TO
which the same were referred. OPP
position thereto was traced invar-
iably to members of board and Off
cials of various institutions who re-
sented the idea of being shorn OF
titles, honors and omolumens.
But the trend of modern thought
Is toward centralized control Of state
institutions. II is urged on grounds
OF economy in management, and
has proved entirely satisfactory
wherever tried.
While It is hardly probable that
Senator Alsdorf's bill will pass at
this session II Is certain to arouse a
more widespread Interest than ever
before in this state, especially II the
legislature creates a special commit
tee TO make inquiry and report ON
the subject, as proposed In a resolu-
tion by Representative Bense, of OF
tawa county.
MIR. Bense's resolution declares that
"the present government and control
OF the charitable and benevolent re-
formatory and penal and other state
Institutions by a separate board for
each institution has been criticised
and regarded by many as cumber-
some, unsatisfactory, expensive and
not productive of the best results.
Other states have adopted the
single board plan, and present indica-
tions are that this will be one of the
most important questions 10 come up
at the regular session next year.
In the discussion OF this question It
should be stripped OF all individual
interest or personal prejudice and
only the general welfare of the state
considered
Proper inquiry cannot fail to prove
beneficial. 1t win develop the ad-
vantages of the single board pan
and give advocates of the present
system fair opportunity to press
the merits of segregate control, so
that the people can Judge impartially
on which side superiority rests. At
the same time defects of the pres
ent system win be disclosed which
can be remedied by legislation next
session If at that time the legisla-
ture should deem II inexpedient to
place all state institutions under the
or control of one board.

building a new city hall was first
agitated, and the older resident can
remember that time, the Mirror has
been in favor OF razing the old and
building a new. No Improvement
In Marion would he such a great ad-
yanCement as this, and we of the
younger generation hope TO live to
see a handsome new building gracing
the spot now occupied by the old. 1t
Is indeed questionable whether this
is the proper time to make the move
10 issue bonds in such an amount
OF course the bonds could be sold
so that they would not fall due for
some years, or uIrl Marion has fully
recovered frolI the financial furry of
the past few months, but the diff
Guilty will come in convincing the
people that this Is the proper thing to
do, The fate which was met in the
last attempt at a bond issue by spe-
cial election is we'll known, and It
would be disastrous to make another
try at the same thing and fail. A
few months from now, when the peo-
pie have been given time to catch
their breath after the financial trou.
bles OF Marion have blown away
they will be in a much better mood
to give their consent 10 the improve
ment
There is feeling among some of
the city officials that no more money
should be expended in patching up the
old city building. Every dollar which
Is spent upon the old structure Is
wasted. AT the very best II the
old building could be made to pass
inspection by the state inspector, It
would last but a few years. The
old shack has been patched and
patched and every dollar has been
wasted. Good business would say
that the thing to DO now Is to con-
struct a fire department home, aban-
don the old building and begin laying
plans for the construction Of a new
home for the city offices and the
council
While we very seriously doubt the
propriety of attempting TO secure the
consent OF the voters 10 the con-
struction OF a new city hall, at this
time, there is no question but that
public sentiment win be ripe for the
Improvement within very few
months or years at most and then
the question can be passed with
better chance of success.

A FEW FACTS

within few days, or to be more
explicit, on the first day of March,
the people od the city will be called
upon TO settle the question Of the ad-
visibility OF making a bond issue TO
provide for the construction of four
additional school rooms to the Day-
ids street building
The people of Marion are Just now
very gnn-shy about issuing any more
bonds for any purpose, but there are
few things which they should con-
slider before making up their minds
how 10 vote on this question. First,
they should divorce from their minds
everything in connection with the
present financial condition Of the city
treasury. The school funds are sep
arate and apart from the city funds
and are not affected in any manner
by the financial stringency in which
the city finds itself, temporarily.
Secondly. Il should be known that
the tax rate for school purposes will
not be increased at all to provide for
caring for the proposed issue Of
inOnds. The school board has deter
mined that the Improvement which
Is 20 badly needed just now, can be
made and the tax levy, for school
purposes, based on the present yalu-
alton of property in the city, will not
have TO be increased as a conse-
quence. II is we'll known that next
year viii see a new appraisement Of
real estate and the probability is that
the values will be increased, so that
the improvement can be made and at
the same time reduction made in
the levy.
There is no questioning the need
of the addition to the Davids street
building. All OF the rooms in the
new Olney avenue, Davids street and
Silver street buildings are flled now.
IL may appear strange. but it is new
ertheless fact that the school en-
rollment in the city schools is great
er than IL was last year, and last
year 1t was greater than the year be-
fore. The western part OF the city
IS filing rapidly just now, owing to
the additional employment which is
being given by the large manufact-
uring concerns In that locality, and
NEXT year will see a great influx OF
school children to the school build
ines named Some provision must
be made for them and 1t is the belief
Of the members of the board that the

Ids street building will handle the

Democratic Cause INDICATED

Bids for deposits of state funds as
received from bankers by State
Treasurer Creamer, verified all thai
was claimed by the ate Democratic
platform, by DemcEratic speakers,
and by the Democratic press Of
Ohio, In the campaign last fall, with
reference TO the need OF thorough
renovation OF the state house. 1t
went farther back than that, and
justified the Investigation of the
treasury and safe auditors office by
senate committee last winter
which Republican administration
did all in its power TO thwart and to
discredit.
The Democratic state platform
made the corrupt and scandalous
cCnG.tions nj the state house that
IN grown up during "A long period
of Republican misruie the paramount
issue of the state campaign. 1t was
charged that the state had lost more
than 100000 a year by the methods
pursued in loaning the states funds
under the depository law, The only
answer TO that charge made by the
Republican machine and its candi-
dates during the campaign was the
nippant jest that the state did not
ACTUALLY lose 1t because 1t never got
| It, and that 1t was like 'iosing
something you never had"
Even after his defeat for the Of
fce of state treasurer, Mr.. Green,
the Republican candidate, in his fin
al report declared that competitive
bids would not get better returns
and would result I'm state funds be-
ing concentrated in the large cities.
The bids received by Treasurer
Creamer win add $4,000 per year to
the states interes, receipts from de-
poslts, and more funds will he de-
posted in the banks Of rural dis
tricts than heretofore. Instead CT
receiving only $50 per cent in
terest on daily ba'ances Of deposits
subject TO drafts the state received
Bids for such deposits as high as
2.e5 per cent; and bids for time de-
Tosits, ON which the state received
only $50 per cent. heretofore, range
all the way from 3.1O per cent. to
40 per cent, the average being
3,25 per cent.
Thus Is the cause of the Demo-
cratic state campaign last fan vindi-
Gated In another very important par
tlcular. Ii goes to show, further,
that II is unfortunate the people could
not see as clearly during the cam
paign as they can now the need of
electing the entire Democratic ticket
so as to have wrought a thorough
house cleaning in every state office
But the opportunity 10 do so viii be
given them again next year.

Some of the public spirited men OF
the city are considering the adyisa-

secure the consent OF the voters to
bond issue to construct new city
hall. The question has been brought
to a head by the recent condemning
OF the present structure.
From the time the question of

1t is so easy to criticize things about
which the critic knows nothing.
Take, for instance, Peruna. There are
plenty Of people who are willing TO say
Peruna Is this and that, who never have
tasted Peruna, and have never known
anything about its effects upon the
human system.
