"In the first place they will probably
have deficit of about $4,000 on their
rolls to take care of and they must
make their budgets to meet this. The
pumping station and any number OF
other improvements will be taken out
of the coming taxes.
Disadvantage at First.
''They will work under a disadvant-
age at first because they can not begin
Their fiscal begins at this time,'' con-
tinued the mayor. 1.-THE present fiscal
year begins in April and it will be
necessary for the commissioners to
wait until January for their funds on
which to work. Under the present
form the levies for one year can lap
ever for the other and in that manner
ii is always possible to fix the levies
in a suitable manner. OF course the
commission will not have any trouble
after their system becames regular but
at first they will have the fraction OF
the year in which the present mayor
and council system have figured on.
1.-THE last levy could have been made
$4,000 more but the disposition of the
council was not to make it. They did
not want to raise the levy. Instead
$45, 900 was used to pay on the bonded
indebtedness of the city the taxes from
this year used for that purpose. 1t is
q good policy to get the bonds out of
the way as soon as possible and the
commissioners will probably have that
IDEA in view.
Taken as a whole it can be readily
seen taht the great strides taken by
the city will make it absolutely neces-
sary for the same old taxes-at least
not a reduction. But the money spent
will be spent far more judiciously and
in a more businesslike manner. The
commissioners will be able to get more
out of the money than the mayor and
council has been able to do under this
present system.
ORANGES have been released I look for
4 big change in the affairs of the city.
The prompt action of the commission
plan, the better results and the gen.
cral satisfaction among the taxpayers
together with a decrease eventually
will prove to the people that the COM
mission plan is just what they have
always wanted

CABINET HOLDS OVER

Contrary to popular belief, members
of the Presidential Cabinet do not cease
20 be such at j O'Clock noon on March
T. They are not the personal appur-
tenances Of the President Their power
10 do business does not end then. They
simply become the advisers Of a new
President; but they serve without
term.
For this reason the members Of Pres
ident ROosevelts Cabinet have been
turning in their letters Of resignation
addressed to 1.-The President, White
House, Washington" If they intended
ia. resign and retire with Mr. Roosevelt
they would address their polite notes 10

sign to him. They are resigning to Mr.

All this etiquette Of resigning was ex-
planned by Cabinet member who was

White House a morning or two ago. 1t
appears that the whole Cabinet might
be retained indefinitely, without neces-
Sity for further ceremony, If the new
President liked. Sometimes he does
like; in which cases those members who
are retained so on working as il nothing
had happened.
Under the new regime. it IS ,-lder-
stood, the White House Will go out of
business, and the Executive Mansion
VIII take its place: but il Will be the
same old-fashiOned, simple, democratic
palace that II has been under the name
Mr.. Roosevelt preferred. II will con-
tInue 10 be the White House in popular
paTlance, for nobody dreams of calling
IL by any other name.
There is story that a man with a
scheme or making Il more artistic once
proposed painting IL some other color,
and that popular indignation rose up
and smote him hip and thigh, and no
Dody, not even Presto ent, has since
had the temeTity TO propose departure
