HOW COMMISSION PLAN
WORKED IN HOUSTON
A Success Despite the Retention Of
Several Old Officials.

Shortly after the commission plan OF
municipal government was seen to be
such a pronounced success in Calves
ton the nearby city Of Houston adopt
ed 1t In modified form. The chief de-
parture in Houston was that the may
or. who is one of the five commission
ers. was given enlarged authority. His
power of appointment and dismissal
was made practically supreme. A re-
stricted form Of the referendum was
also adopted. As in Galveston. the
commissioners were elected from the
city at large. wiping out ward bound
aries, likewise ward politics.
The result Of the experiment was
gratifying in the extreme. Under the
old system Houston had about the av-
erage municipal government. The city
was failing to meet expenses. claims
against It being hawked about at 20
per cent discount The new plan has
been in force about four years. Near
ly a half million OF indebtedness has
been paid, one and one-half millions
have been devoted TO municipal i'm
provements, the tax rate has been re-
duced mills on the dollar. the price
Of gas has been brought down from
s1.5o per thousand feet TO $1-15. the
cost Of arc lights has been reduced
from $50 to $40 per year. new bridges
have been built and old ones improved.
the waterworks have been purchased
by the city, city credit is restored. fire
protection has been improved, three
new schoolhouses have been built. a
fifteen acre park was purchased. the
paving is better. pickering disappeared
from city affairs. and prosperity and
progress resulted. and generally the
results were ms satisfactory as In Gal
weston. This Is all the more remarka-
BILE for the reason that there was lit
tie change in the personnel Of the city
government. The mayor and some OF
the councilmen. as the commissioners
are called. we're continued over from
the old regime. II was the new system
therefore. that wrought the miracle.

dered that all railroad rates from

stigated the investigation, were order
ed changed, but the opinion intimated
that an order will be issued reducing

WASHINGTON, July 31.-House
Democrats in caucus tonight will de-
eide whether to accept Senate amend
ments to the campaign publicity bill a
House measure. The House bill pro-
vided for the ante-election publicity of
election expenses of congressional can
didates. The Senate tackled on an
amendment making the law apply to
primaries, including Senatorial candi-
dates and limiting the expenses Of q
candidate for the lower house to
81, 1000 and a Senator to $4,000. South
ern representatives object to the last
provision, asserting that election to the
Senate In the South is practically de-
termined in the primary and that the
Senate amendment is an invasion OF
State rights.
