EDITORIAL
Mr.. Cutchins' Commission Plan.

In our news columns will be found an inter
esting publication in which is outlined plan
for a commission form of government Tor hlch-
nond to be submitted to the Council at us
next meeting by Councilman John A Cutchins, OF
n Lee Ward chairman of the Committee on Forms
of Municipal Government. The plan PROVIDES
q for an administrative committee, consisting Oh
\ four members to be appointed by the Mayor Tor
i term of four years and to receive pay for their
seyices This commission would take the place
0f the police fire and health boards and the
various Council committees and direct the pure
] " administrative affairs of the city. The Coun-
ell would continue to make the ordinances and
the appropriations, but the money would be
expended by the commission. All work OF an
administrative character would be directed by
ii and all supplies purchased. But while APP
pointed by the Mayor, the commissioners would
be s.subject to the Council as Mr.. Cutchins
puts it.
I Iii is claimed that such a scheme of govern
naent would result in coordination of the vari-
Gus departments Of city government, now sadly
lacking, and in economy and greater efficiency.
We have profound respect for Mr. Cutchlns
IN man of character and abilities He has
given special study TO the subject of municipal
government and the plan which he will propose
to the Council has been worked out with pains,
after thorough investigation. In offering it,
4 he is moved, we are sure, by sincere and I'M
selfish desire to provide better form of govern
mint for his city and good motives and patriotic
service are always entitled to respect and re-
y spectful consideration But we do not believe
in the purely commission plan, working within
\ bacameral Council 1t is an involved plan and
tends toward additional complications 1t does
not abolish the ward system, which is the worst
y feature Of our present form, and it adds other
wheels To the machinery. In short, it is our
Opinion that such a change would make bad
/ plan worse.
What Richmond needs is a smpfed form
I ut government similar to the Des Moines or
Texas plans which abolishes the ward system, re
Adnccs the Council to lowest terms and places
MI the affairs of the government in the hands
of few experts. Under demonstration of the
State that is impracticable for the present But
the constitutional obstacle will probably be re-
moved in a few years and until then we think
that it would be wise for Richmond to continue
]. tha- prsseatvsNheme
We take it that under no circumstances would
the retiring Council undertake to bind the in.
coming Council by measure so radical in its
changes as that proposed by Mr. Cutchins. But
we are glad that the measure which he has pre-.
pared with so great care will be offered. r.
Will bring about much needed agitation and
set the people to thinking And if the agitation
will only keep up, it will result eventually in
much needed reforms

Land Titles.

louisiana is considering the Torrens land
registry system again. Under act of the Legs
lature of 1904, a commission authorized 10
investigate the system and report To the next
session. Governor Blanchard appointed the com
mission which performed its duty and submitted
q bill to the Legislature of 1906 but that body
decided that the time had not come TO take ac-
ition Since them says the Ilmes-Democrat VI
New Orleans, events have occurred when make
the adoption of the system OF more importance
than ever. What these events are our con-
temporary does not say, but it suggests that
the committee be called together again and pre-
tpare another report to be submitted to the next
| Legislature, showing the advantages that would
come to Louisiana from so improving her land
repistrv system as to make transfer Of real
estate simple more expeditions and less expen-
sive.
Virginia has eoquetted with the measure for
years, but in spite of the efforts of Mr. Eugene
C Massie in its behalf and in spite of his over
whelming arguments, the Legislature never
screwed up its courage to the point OF passing
the bill And in so failing we believe that the
Legislature made a blunder Mr. Massie finally
offered, we believe, to accept as a compromise
a measure that would apply only to Richmond
and such other cities as might care to adopt
it. But that too was rejected. Since then real
estate in, Richmond has been active beyond
precedent and thousands of transfers have been
made. What an enormous saving in trouble,
time and money would have been made, if the
simple system of the Torrens plan had been in
operation. The people will open their eyes
iby and by to the necessity for this reform.

Mr.. Byrd S EXPLANATION.

In statement to the public, Mr.. r. t. Byrd
explains the arrangement with Governor Mann
by which he is to render legal services to the
State when needed
agreed with the Governor he saws. ''that
should not receive any salary whatever. but
that when my services were required | should
be paid reasonable fee, not to exceed in the
aggregate the Of $4,000 for two years
The Governor thus carefully safeguarded the
interests of the State. The amount of the avail
able appropriation is $1,000 for two years and
not $4,000, because the appropriation was
only made in one of the yearly budgets
n no service is performed, he will receive no
pay.
Mr. Byrd is one of the ablest lawyers in Vir-
gnia and he has talent for details He has
made study of the affairs of State he has
familiarized himself with the operation of pub.
nc institution and he is peculiarly qualified to
act as counsel for the State in any matter of
litigation. The fact that he is a member of the
House of Delegates does not disqualify him
/ from serving the State rs attorney in special
eases, and the arrangement which the Cover
nor has made with him will result in economy.

Cuba's Negro Problem.

Cuba S negro problem is worse than ours. The
Cuban negro is not an alien nor an interloper.
The Cuban negro is a native product and he is
a patriot He was soldier in the war for
independence and he demands social equality,
political equality and full representation in
the affairs of government When his demands
are not met, he is ready to "revolute" and it
goes without saying that he has friends and
allies among the lower class of whites. The
negroes of Cuba will not be treated as an in
ferior race, and the government must reckon
with them on all questions, social and political.
1t is the toughest problem that the young re-
public has to deal with and If is ever present.
1t is pressing just now and is threatening to
preeipitate crisis Americans both North and
South are watching the complication with pecu-
liar interest
