Taft Lays Cornerstone

In laving tho cornerstone OF the new
city building here today President TAFT
came very close TO advocating the com
mission form of government.
Experiments" he said have been
made as to the character of the best
municipal government, think the gen
sral tendency OF the modern view is that
tho municipal government is best az
least for cities Of any size. which fixes
the responsihility on one or a very small
body OF men. and makes them answer 10
the whole people OF the city for the ef-
iciency OF the government The method
By which the people elect eight or ton or
twelve or fifteen different officers takes
away thc opportunity OF the people TO
hold someone responsible for defects In
the actual government.
But n YOU give the mayor. under the
so-called federal system. the right TO ap-
point all the officers and any officer fails.
th" mayor Is responsible because he ap-
pointed him and he ought 10 remove him
