Americans are long suffering under
abuses. but when the limit Is reached
they go after the evil without gloves.
Our municipal governments present a
case In point. For generations we
have stood their rottenness, inefticien-
cy, grating and disgrace. Now they
are becoming 30 bad we can put up
with them no longer. The result is
that we are eradicating the old sys-
tenn root and branch and substituting
therefor the commission plan of gov
ernment The old scheme had got
past the mending point. 1t had be-
come honeycombed with ward and
partisan politics. To ourselves 1t was
a reproach. to other nations standing
joke. 1t was a combination OF Tam
many and Hinky Dink. The expo
sures I'm st. Louis, San Francisco.
Pittsburg and elsewhere only scratch
ed the surface. 1t was time for a
new deal. and the new deal has come.
Now the cities of the entire land are
falling over each other in their haste
to try on the commission system.
Wherever inaugurated 1t has worked
like a charm. Everybody is happy
over 1t except the professional poliu-
clans and the grafters.
The commission form Of governments
in America is only a trine more than
ten years old. 1t started in 1900 as a
result of the Galveston food. So stag
gering was the catastrophe that the
old form OF government was unable
to meet the crisis Alderman McMas-
ter proposed that the council resign in
body and call in business men and
experts to deal with the extraordinary
situation, This was done. A commits
sion OF ave was formed. two of them
elected by the people and three APP
pointed by the governor Afterward
the supreme court decided that the
governor had no right 10 appoint, and
all the commissioners we're elected.
Prior to the hurricane and tidal wave
that so nearly swept her or the map
Galveston had the usual discouraging
history Of municipal misgovernment.
As a result she was in debt. her bonds
were below par and her treasury on
the verge OF bankruptcy. Under the
commission system the city was re-
built. the grade raised several feet, the
streets repaved. a retaining sea wall
constructed. the debt cut down. ex-
penditures kept within the revenues.
city employees paid in cash, bonds
brought to a premium. streets kept
cleaner, sanitation improved. saloons
kept out OF the residence districts, poll
ties banished from the city hall. public
gambling abolished. civic spirit awak-
ened and a condition of harmony and
prosperity begun such as Galveston had
never before known. In other words,
the new government did better in the
face of the calamity than the old had
done In times Of tranquility. One most
significant fact is that despite the ex-
penditures required to rebuild. raise
and protect the city. the tax rate was
kept down lower than that Of any
large city in Texas.
To show the contrast between the
old Galveston government and the

CITY GOVERNMENT
BY COMMISSION

new. public improvements had stopped
under the former ring rule" and
public buildings were deteriorating.
finances were going behind at an aver
age Of 100000 every year. city em-
ployees. including even schooltenchers,
were paid in scrip. and the bosses. who
were growing rich. had such a grip It
was impossible to shake them loose.
All that is now changed. The fioat-
ing debt has been retired. sinking
fund started. public improvements are
going forward. bills are paid In cash
when due. and the political bosses
have become unpleasant memories.
That these and other benedcent re-
suits are due to the commission sys-
tenn Of government is proved by the
fact that other cities adopting the
commission plan have had like ex-
perience.
Under what came to be known as the
Galveston plan each of the commits
sioners took charge of some branch of
the city government. For this he was
responsible to the commission as
whole and to the people. SO success
full was the system in the city Of its
origin that other municipalities in all
parts Of the land began to study It

Simple cases OF hiccough are often
relieved by such measures as sucking
ice or taking salt and vinegar. says the
New York Medical Journal Pulling
the tongue forward and holding It for
some time is an effective procedure.
Sometimes obstinate hiccough is re-
lieved when the patient is strong by
having him hang with the arms eK-
tended and grasping some beam or
pole. so that his feet do not touch
the door. With all the abdominal
muscles tense. have him hold his
breath as long as possible. sneezing

The phenomenon of the commission
plan of government which gives the
most satisfaction TO many people is
the complete disappearance from in
fuence Of the typical ward politician.
The whole field Of peanut politics"
seems to have disappeared. In Gal
weston. for example. the nominations
which are recognized as emanating
from the politicians who formerly con
trolled the town get only 20 per cent
Of the votes. In all the cities it is
claimed that the city service has been
put on nonpartisan basis. with a
great increase in efficiency. Certain it
is that under the commission plan
candidates have repeatedly been elect
ed without the help OF political ma
