SAYANNAH'S MAYOR PLEADS FOR
COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.

That is a candid acknowledgement
of the inadequaey of the existing form
of municipal government that Mayor
Tiedeman, of Savannah, makes Hav-
ing served the city as an alderman
and then az mayor for four years.
Mayor Tiedeman acknowledges that
is impossible to run the government
properly to give the taxpayers value
for their money. under the politica
control that marks the existing sys-
tenn.
Realizing that the progress of the
city is kampered by the faults of the
present plan of government, that it i:
practically impossible to cure the evils
and give the people relief from the
wastefulness, extravaganza and graft
that mark political partisan control
Mayor Tiedeman announce that he will
only be a candidate for a third tern
with the understanding that he and
the aldermen elected by him shall be
permitted to secure legislation plac-
ing Savannah under a commission
| government.
| The rottemness of the existing meth
DDS of governing the greater number
of American cities is a stencLl unto
the heavens. The peoples money is
frequently used by a lot of politica
banditti for their own benefit. Need
less offices are created, salaries pai(
out of all proportion to the services

and the taxpayers, plundered in thi
fashion, are finally driven almost tt

LET US HAVE LESS POLITICS.

Regardless as to who was elected in
yesterdays contest it is time for all
good citizens to call a halt on poll
| tics, to have an end to the ceaseless
disturbance of the public peace with
political discussion. Nothing but harm
can emanate from the continual tur-
moil, no good end is accomplished ana
much harm may ensue.
1t is certainly to be regretted that
Americas has so many elections. The
town is cursed with too great an abun-
dance of them. Next year another
election comes, that of three aldermen
and every year the city is upset by
the election of some members of thu
Board. What earthly good such g
policy is it is difficult to see. Other
cities have abandoned this crude
method. In some instances the terms
of the mayor and aldermen have been
extended to three or four years just to
avoid this senseless and ceaseless
conflict and disturbance of the public
peace.
If Americas is not to have a COM
mission form of government-and Il
is to be hoped it some day wlll-then
Way not change the charter and have
one of these elections cut out? The
idea that it is necessary to carry over
three old aldermen to break in the
new ones is absurd. Always enough
of the old members run for reelection
to ensure the continuance of some
of them on the Boar df they are wor-
thy of reelection. And if they are
not then the city loses nothing by the
failure to retain them.
A town that is kept constantly di-
vided by local politics is apt to get
in a bad way And there is no better
way to keep it divided than by pulling
off an election every twelve months,
with county, a legislative and state
election thrown in for good measure.
If we live just for poltcs tbs conidi-
ton is all right, but if there is some
thing else in life to attend to it would
be a good thing to cut the number Of
city elections by oneIhalf and reduce
friction that much at least. Wy not
change the charter to that extent, at
least?

Mr. Britain has suggested pro
gram which will likely be carried OUT
in many schools over the state. His
program includes songs, essays, read
ings, recitations, and last, but not
least, is the physical exercise of
planting trees and shrubbery.
Arbor Day is new being observed
