GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION.

The administration of the public
affairs of Des Moines, Iowa, under a
commission system of government, has
been in operation for just a year now.
Reports from that city indicate that
everybody in it considers the results
of the first years trial to be the most
efficient and economical conduct of
municipal affairs that the city ever
has experienced. Not only has the city
been managed more economically than
ever before-there being now a sur
plus of $4,000 in the city treasury
while at the end of the last year of the
old method of governing the city there
was a deficit of 1S,0OO-but more
efficient service has been rendered in
every city department. The streets
have been kept cleaner than ever be-
fore; paving has been laid according
to contract; civil service has been in
stalled in all departments; the efficacy
of the police department has been in
creased; a new system of accounting
has been put in operation; in fact, the
entire municipal government has been
placed on a business basis.
Among the most valuable achieve
