A FAULTY SYSTEM.

Probably it would be better to take
awav from the legislature the power
to grant municipal charters, and sub
stitute a general incorporation law FOR
cities. A system, for example, under
which the people of Chattanooga could,
by a majority vote, proclaim ana
amend the charter of the city might
be better than the present system.
The initiative and referendum are
good in municipal government. I'm
der them the people make their own
laws. They can propose legislation
and approve, or disapprove it. Coupled
with the recall, the initiative and ref
erendum will revolutionize municipal
government. A system that provides
for homemade laws will never fail
unless the people themselves are In
capable Of self-government.
The present system for the govern
ment of cities in Tennessee, and our
system is not unlike that of other
states, is prolific of strife and turmoil.
The result is bad government. We
can not reasonably expect anything
else under such a system Every two
years we see the same kind of tur-
moil caused in many cases by one set

urlp1aE SUFFERERS.

An appeal for aid has been maze Dy
tbe residents of Primm Springs and
adjacent communities to their more
fortunate neighbors of Maury county
Who escaped the ravages of the terri
HE storm that on last Thursday night
devastated large portions OF Middle
Tennessee, imposing incalculable hard
shin and suffering upon a great num-
her of people. The appeal is worthy
one. and there is no doubt but that
it will fall upon willing ears. Tne
rich agricultural section of Maury can
very well afford to give from us
abundance to less opulent friends
over in the not-so-productive county
of Hickman. There is not the slight
est doubt but that once the public is
thoroughly convinced of the necessity
for prompt assistance that it will be
forthcoming. All doubt as to the dire
need of the jewellers in the storm dis
trict is removed by the statements Oh
the relief committee that has been
named to solicit contributions. And
the personnel of this committee IN
sures the wise and economical expen-
diture of the funds that are, given.
MANY families are absolutely destl-
tute-their all has been sacrificed to
the bowling tempest, they are left
without home or money, to mourn their
dead Prompt aid is effective aid
Those who will be only too glad to as
sist in the relief work should bear this
in mind and send in their contrlou-
lions promptly.
