ELIOT ON MUNICIPAL
/ GOVERNMENT

A little over two years ago Charles
w. Eliot, then president of Harvard
university, delivered before the
Economic club of Boston an address
on Municipal Government" which
has just been published in the New
England Magazine. While its primary
object was the expression of the
presidents views on the best govern
ment for Boston, il forms q valuable
contribution very clearly set forth
to an important topic now attracting
wide interest in cities the country
over.
First Of all, it is affirmed that the
two-chalnber form of government is
a failure wherever it has been tried.
Not all one-chamber governments
have been good. But they have been
better than two-chamber govern
ments in the same localities.
The experiment of putting the en-
tire government OF city in the
hands OF one man has also been a
failure. mo man can really manage
alone me extensive and diversified
work OF great city,
Furthermore, ut has been demon
strated over and over again that
ward elections will not give us what,
we wa,DS-capable, honest municipal
A group of ward
electors, it is affirmed, will elect men
to represent petty interests. The
idea that a ward has interests apart
from those OF the city at large is
false at the outset. The experience OF
Boston is thought TO justify this
view.
That experience as exemplifed in
a school committee is held, in COM
mon with that OF many other cities
of late to justify the plan OF having
4 small board elsctec at large. But
how elected!
1t is held that universal Suffrage
has failed IN all largo cities. Presi-
lent Eliot holds the principle of uni
'erT,ai suffrage so fundamental that
ather than abandon it he would seek
or it a better chance to select hon
st and capable officials.
A group OF American cities has, it |
S said, tried the experiment OF CIV
ne universal suffrage a better chance |
\ reduction in the number OF Of
Icdals chosen is held to afford bet
or chance for universal suffrage. |
Where there are thirty to sixty Of
lcials to be voted for it is impos-
ible for the voter to exercise in
elligent choice. He will vote for
he party, not for the man. In
'alveston, Houston, Des Moines and
school committees in st. Louis
nd several other cities there are
We men to be chosen, not thirty or
lore. This gives opportunity for in
alligent selection ON the ground of
ierit.
Ii is pointed out that all these
ties have abandoned the omnlpo-
mt mayor. Not one autocrat but
'uncl is in control. 1t is pointed

is as follows: Whereas, we. the

AS the discussion of the tariff conuu-
ues, IL Is becoming more and more
apparent each day that the insent OF
the United States senate is to pile

in the great Middle West, where the
sentiment for revision OF the tariff
downward is very strong. Although
this section OF the country is largely

IF the working women we're paid a

President Peterson "The girls have

believe that the minimum wage for
women in the stores should be SO a
week. Another thing. Many girls
are working in stores simply to make
a little pin money. They have homes
and plenty, but they go into the
stores, they are almost forced to the
money TO spend. They can dress
better than the girls who work be-
side them and who are forced to work
for a living. This makes the lot OF
the poor girl seem all the more hard

Closer relations between the Unit
ed States and Canada. which were
predicted when the Canadian Pacific
railway acquired control of the Wis
oonsin Central have already begun
to be evident, especially in Chicago,
which has become the southern ter
minus o: the big Canadian system. A
party oil investigators and edltors left
here early this week to inspect the
coal fields, timberlands and water
power OF western Alberta and Brit
ish Columbia. In spite of tariff duties
commerce between the two countries
lis growing steadily and the Canadians
are leaving no stone unturned to en-
courage this growth. Evidences OF
this are shown in the increasing inter
est displayed by business men OF the
Middle West in the resources of AL
berta, British Columbia and the
Rocky Mountain region. The largest
saw mill in the British Empire, which
is situated at Fraser in British Co
lumbia, is today owned by Americans
Other big timber tracts and miues are
in similar ownership. Just what
have been the results to date of this
INVASION OF American capital and what
further opportunities there are will be
determined by the party which has
just left which includes II. M. Hyde.

The state land department has made
the December s%emi-annual distribution
Of the income fund to the different
counties of the state for the support
of the schools. The total amount sent
out is $119,192. This was apportioned
on a school population Of 161 ,057, an
increase of S,207 over the figure taken
for the basis last year. With the com
bined June and December apportion-
ments for this year the department
has sent out over half a million dol
lars for the support Of the schools of
the state, making 1929 for each pupil.
This is an increase of "a cents ON each
pupil over the last year approtionment,
regardless of the increase in popula-
ton. The amount apportioned Brook
