commission GOVERNMENT
IS REMEDY FOR SPOKANE

bad as he was under the other
plan.
The commission plan of munich
pal government is based on the
theory that the people have the
right to fix responsibility for the
acts of their officials. The work
of government is separated into
departments and the commissioner
in charge can be held strictly &C.
countable for the work done by
his department That is just as it
should be. The people pay the
bills. and they have a right to
know how the money is spent. The
commission plan removes much of
the odium that attaches to the
ward system and better class of
men will permit the use of their
names as candidates for office I'M
der the new plan.
The commission form of govern
ment will do more for Spokane
than any other reform that could
be inaugurated. 1t would do away
with many of the evils that prevail
here now. 1t would give us city
government based on good bust
ness principles. 1t would get rid
of the petty jealousies that, seem
to be cropping out at the city hall
continually. From my point Of
view, as an outsider, it seems to
me that the best investment the
city could make now would be to
buy a spanking machine and use
it so vigorously that the boys at
the city hall would feel the effects
of it and be good"
Everybody in Spokane ought to
boost for the commission form of
government. 1t will be the great
est improvement that the city has
within it's reach this year. George

WHAT PARK BOND
ISSUE MEANS HERE

With all our Boosting about our
civic pride and progressiveness, We
have sorely neglected our children.
We are raising them in the streets,
surrounded with filth, disease and
danger.
Fairgrounds, even though COM
pletely equipped, do not answer the
need unless supervised. Our park
commissioners have publicly de-
elared that they will not only dis
tribute Fairgrounds in all sections
Of the city. but that these play
grounds will be under the super
vision of competent men and
women. The remaining two feat
ures that go for a complete system
only add to it's favor.
The $1,0O0,000 park bond issue
will be wisely handled financially.
1t commands a premium of
$125,O00. which, invested at Az per
cent, will at the maturity of the
bonds so years from now, have
amounted to more than the prin-
cipal to be met. The people are
then being asked whether they are
willing, in order to secure the above
advantages, to be taxed annually
during the life of the bonds, the an
nual interest due. This will be
$4,000 a year. Next year, when it
will fall the heaviest on the tax
payer, this will amount to Sc cents
per $1,000 assessed valuation. or
about one cent week This slight
tax will diminish each year frbm

The saddest moment in a wom-
ans life must be that moment
when she first fully realizes that
youth has fled on gilded wings and
age is dragging her slowly, aye,
but surely, from social paradise to
live only in the longing memories
of the past, like a flower that buds
and blooms, then withers, and,
while yet living, withered and old.
1t must be tainted by seeing thous-
ands admire the fresh and bloom
ing roses, while it is passed care
lessly by, a mere memory OF glor-
les that have gone before.
Then why should not a woman
strive to hold her youth? To her
it means social prestige, power,
position; in Fact, practically every
near and dear to a woman's heart.

Arabian horses need no praise.
OF the many beautiful stories told
of the Arabs that given in the well

Mare" surpasses all. Achmid had a
mare of wondrous speed and guard

stole her, leaped upon her back and
shouted to Achmid to catch her if
he could. Achmid and his tribe
mounted and went in hot pursuit.
Suddenly the thought came to him,

outrun; she will lose her fame"
Shouting to the robber, "Quick,
pinch her earl" he revealed the Sc
cret sign his darling knew so well.
Achmid lost his mare, as he knew
he would, but her glory was secure.
