London, Nov. 23rd-Iu the House Of Lords
yesterday the Earl of Crowe asked if the
Marquis Of Lausdowue's Resolutions were
amendments OF the Governments Veto Bill,
but Lord Lansdowue made no reply. The
Marquis of Salisbury said the Governments
prohibition OF amendments placed the oppo-
sition in an intolerable position; it n.4tus, he
declared, closure and guiilotine OF the Lord,
by the use of the royal p~rerogatiye for dis
solution. The Earl Of R04ebery asked whose
fault is it that such an unprecedented -itua-
ton has been croated2 Is it the Uniouists'

Turning to the Ministerialists, his LOrdshjp
continued. You do not realize what You are

paper contained notice of the

nic which has been held annually
for the past 81 years. The peo-
pie attended the picnic from all
over the county, there being over
three thousand in attendance.
To illustrate the advancement of
the people and growth of the
country, it is cited that during
the earlier days people rode to
the picnic in lumber wagons !;
later they rode in spring wagons /;

carriages and this year many
went in their automobiles, lob be

BILLIARD ON CITY PLAN.
Answers Duluth Inquiry and Praises
Commission Government.

Duluth, Mimi, Dec. S.-The Duluth
Herald prints the following regarding
Topeka. Mayor J. B. Billiard and the
commission form of government:
Eliminating partisan politics from the
elections and the conduct of city bust
ness is one of the best features of the
commission plan of government, ac-
cording to Mayor ]. 3. Billiard of To-
peka, Kan.
Mayor Billiard also comments strong
ly upon the promptness and efficiency
of the different departments since the
old form was abandoned. He states that
holding one man responsible for the
work of each department has had most
beneficial results and declares that
there is no sentiment in favor of a re-
turn to the former regime.
The answers which he submitted in
response to the request of the Herald
are as follows: - e
/. What is the present population of
your, city? About 5000.
2. When did YOU adopt the commits
sion plan? About April /, 1910.
3. After what city charter was your
new charter modelled? Galveston.
4. What particular reason, if any,
led your city to make the change? TIC
secure a more effective form of city
government; to place the responsibility
of the different departments of the city
in once mans hands; to be able to hold
him responsible for the work done, OF
any delay in the work.
8. Wherein does your charter differ
from. its model? Does not differ much
but not having the model here, cannot
tell exactly where the difference is.
6. What results have been worked
by the change insyour city? The work
of the city has been done much more
promptly and satisfactorily. Each de-
partment of the city is now run in a
strict business way and the work done
better than formerly.
Z. Has there been, or is there likely
to be, any public sentiment in favor OF
return to the old plan? No.
8. What do you regard as the chief
merits of the commission plan? The
promptness and efficiency with which
| the business of each department is dis
patched is probably the most import
ant result. Removing the influence OF
partisan politics from the elections is
also an important result.
g. What, if any, are its weaknesses
as shown in practice? No weakness that
we have discovered so far. There are
several minor changes that could be
made to advantage, but no serious de-
fectS have been discovered.
