REAL TEST IN CITY GOVERNMENT.

A CCORDINC to the Greater Des Mones Com
( n mittee, which advocates the commission
form OF city government and is busy spreading
abroad the news OF how the commission system
has worked in thar city, the real test Of munici-
pal efficiency is whether the money collected from
the tax payers is wisely expended.
This is an important point The Journal has
often called attention to the obvious truth that
the taxpayers should judge city government by
the return given for the money collected. Cities
have various tax rates some high and some low
Some cities have a considerably lower rate than
Wilmington and others have a much higher rate.
low tax rate is frequently pointed to with
pride by boomers of a city. If the rate is low, it
is placed on the stationery OF Boards of Trade
and other civic bodies Manufacturers looking for
locations want TO know the tax rate.
All this sounds very well, but il is rather deeep-
tive. If low rate is accompanied by neiiciency,
IL the streets are neglected if they badly light
ed, IL there are few public improvements if the
city is poorly policed, there is no credit in hav-
ing a low tax rate. On the other hand ii thcrs is
a high tax rate, accompanied by poor service, the
dscredit Is 50 much the worse.
- Aix rule people do not object to, paying fair
Fate of taxation it they think they are getting the
worth of their money, but if they see the money
squandered in paying useless Office holders. # they
see only a small part OF the money paid in taxes
devoted TO permanent Improvements that can be
seen and enjoyed, the people rightly object

I'M PHILADELpHIA TODAY.

A FTER the end of remarkable campaign,
( Phiiadelphans arc voting today for Mayor
and the remainder of the city ticket The outcome
in large measure, depends upon whether the eee
ton is fair or not
If the same methods are followed as in the usual
election in Philadelphia, the chances are that Earle
will be chosen by a large majority, but if the
frauds can be prevented, Biankenburg will have
fair show of winning.
Before the primaries the leaders of the organ
izaton or gang fought among themselves, the
Wares coutending against Penrose and McNichol.
All the power OF Penrose was eXerted to defeat
Ware for the nomination. the Senator going 70 the
extreme of having the Catlin Committee make
investigation of the affairs of the city. AS con-
sequence, Ware was defeated for the nomination,
but it seems that Pcnrosc has succeeded in bring
ing the Wares into line and they now support
ing Earle.
The desperate plight Of the Penrose organiza-
ton was shown when Earle was selected as the
candidate. There is to be reformation by the gang
itself through Earle as Mayor.
The chief point that will decide the issue IS
whether Phadephians will believe that Earle
can rise above his surroundings the leaders who
gave him the nomination, and carry out his
pledges 10 the people. The disclosures OF the
workings of the Penrose crowd with Mayor Rev
burn and Director Clay an attack which has not
been answered but ignored, in most communities
would tell heavily against those on whom it was
made. Certainly crowd Of leaders that had been
mixed up in unsavory affair as that with Rey-
burn could not hope for vote Of confidence from
the people, but Phadelphians in their political
matters different from most other people.
Should the gang triumph today Philadelphians
will have the consolation Of knowing that the gang
was forced 10 name Earle a much better man than
the impossible Reyburn. There would surely be
an Improvement in the Mayors office.
Those, however, who want a real cleaning up
of Philadelphia will support Blankenburg.

likely to last many months. When court opened
yesterday, but one man was in the box who was

Mr.. Beaman Breaks Leg

T. p. Beaman, ore of the prominent
ranchers of Smith Valley, had the mis-
fortune to break his leg last TUESDAY
afternoon while at work on his ranch
Mr. Beaman was clearing piece of
ground and using a brush breaker with
four horses, and the breaker hit some
thing and scared the team, which
started to run. Mr.. Beaman jumped off
the horse and in so doing broke his leg
Just above the ankle. Frank Simpson
brought Mr. Beaman to Yerington the
same night the accident happened, and
a physician found that the bones of the
leg were broken in three places. The
fracture was reduced, and Mr.. Beaman,
who is with his son at the Crowinshield
residence, is recovering rapidly from the
shock and will be around again i'll the
course of few weeks.
