THE COMMISSION GovERNMENT

1 .
The Evening sun acknowledges
itself indebted to the Lexington
Herald for complete copy of the
bill introduced in the legislature by
Senator Combs for the adoption of
the commission government in cities
of the Second class in Kentucky. We
advise all citizens OF Padueah to read
the bill carefully. keeping in mind
the advantages claimed for the COM
mission form of government. 1t re-
duces the size of the ballot, and by
reducing the size OF the ballot. 1t con-
centrates attention on the four COM
missloners, the officers to be elected,
and eliminates the political complica-
tions incident to large number of
names on a ballot. II concentrates
II has been demonstrated
that when important Offices are to be
filled, citizens go to the polls and
when there are no important Offices
to be filled, only the friends of the
go. BY concentrating au-
thority in the hands of these few men.
their Importance Is magnified and the
public is interested in their election.
They are also made thus directly re-
sponsible to the public for the ad-
of departments, and may
be expected to appoint the calibre of
men, whom they can trust. Where
ever the commission has been tried,
II has been satisfactory in meeting
these difficulties of municipal politics.

OUR MISLEADING LAWS.

Recodifying of the state laws Is q
necessary thing to get the statute
books cleared up so that lawyers and
laymen may know what the existing
laws really are; but more necessary
that that Is some means by which
local officials can be promptly ad-
vised of changes In the statutes af-
fecting their offices. Ordinarily a
layman, reading the statutes, cannot
comprehend the maze OF amend
ments; for laws are made one year
and amended at the next session. At
the next. perhaps. an amendment Is
made to II, In part nullifying the first
amendment and in part changing
again the text of the original act
Later on another amendment. and as
many as anybody desires. may be
tackled on. No doubt there are
many innocent illegalities going on
in the counties and cites right now,
and. we are quite sure. 1t requires a
lawsuit TO determine the real mean
ing OF the average status. That, in
common sense. ought not TO be.

THE MERCHANT MARINE.

Emerson once said in his youth
party is an elegant incognito de-
vised to save man the vexation OF
thinking; but IL he could see the con-
fusion of party lines at Washington
he might suspect that a few stray
thoughts had peeped in and dissi-
pated the mist that forms the party
divisions. In the senate committee
in charge of the conservation bill, all
but two Democrats favor the admin
istration program, and in the house
committee some Democrats and some
Republicans favor it and other DEM
ocrats and Republicans oppose IL.
Both parties apparently favor the
idea of encouraging the American
merchant marine by special conces-
sions, and here the Democrats, by
adopting the Elkins plan, have
taken the wind of the Republican
program, which could not be freed
from the suspicion of graft. The
Republican measure proposed a d.
rect subsidy. The Elkins plan pro-
poses a special concession of five or
ten per cent reduction in the tariff
to articles imported in American bot
toms, and a mail subsidy based on
actual service. Nothing could be
more fair than that, and it is to the
discredit of some of the old-fash4
Toned kind of reactionary politicians

theory that every public measure is
