Sheriff William l.. Welt had two of his
day on the Shoemaker pike between
Washington Grove and LaytonSvile to see
if there were any violations of the speed
regulations by the numerous autoists
that use that thoroughfare. The officers
reported that they not only saw speed
ing. but that none OF the many auto
mobiles that passed along the road was
travelling anywhere near the limit allow Cd
by law which led the sheriff to suggest
that the autoists had probably been tipped
off. Sheriff Welt detailed the officers in
of persons living along the road, who
complained Of speeding.

systems garba &c disposal systems, city
health offices. hospitals. asylums and a
dozen other activities which arc now on
ga Eed in by every important municipality
and which have swelIed the per capita
expenditure to surprising degree. \
hundred years ago the per capita expend-
iturc in New York was 50: today il is
so5 Ann Arbor Mich, spends five times
as much per ca pita today as New York
spent when it had a population four times
as great as Ann Arbor. This per capita
expenditure has been growing in recent
years. In 1902 the per pita expenditure
for all tho cities in the United States
having a population of 10000 was s13.36.
In 1%Is 1t was si6S1. and in another year
it likely will touch the $40 mark.
The government of American cities Is
not as economically conducted as that of
European cities. This is shown by sta
tistCal data of undenabie accuracy. Lon
don has population 40 per cent great
or than New York, yet New York spends
more by some 80 per cent on her city
government than London. Joseph Cham
berlain once studied the relative standing
of city administration in Boston Mass.
and Rirming CHAM, England. lie concluded
that birmingham spent much less per
ca pi:a for her government than BOSTON
course. the statistics of relative costs of
municipal administration in Europe and
America are not TO he compared at face
value. 1t must be remembered that every
thing that enters into municipal admins
tration in Europe is cheaper than it is
in America. But, Of course, this does
not explain Ali the difference
Seeking an explanation of this differ
ence. one finds a large part of il in the
activity of the rafter. He plies his
trade so generally and 50 persiStcntly that
his elimination is one of the greatest
problems of the present day. Where
there is one dollar of municipal waste
there are many of municipal graft and
the reports of the good government or
CARNATIONS are to the effect that charges
of graft are more frequent now than ever
before. Whether it is due 10 the activity
of the arafter or To that of the expoSer
of graft is question the answer to
which probably depends on the point of
view.

can be understood by every citizen, and
which ena bles responsibility to be fixed
uncrringly, has always resulted in an
improved administration Of affairs. The
entire tendency OF the future probably
will he in the direction OF the basic ideas
of commission government. But there
are other questions which remain to be
solved Tile initiative, referendum and
recall are believed by their advocates to
have given such a good account of their
operation in America at least to Justify
the hope that they will prove permanently
successful. Municipal ownership has
worked well in Europe and in some places
i'll America, but its success is not yet
eSta blShed.
Then there is the question of unearned
increment. Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston
cites the fact that a certain tract of
land in Boston enhanced in value from
$4,000 to $3.50 FO I'm twenty years, every
dollar of the advance being due to tho
growth of population, the ever-swel1ng
tide of travel and trade, the expenditures
of public money for paVements. sidewalks,
police protection, fire protection, lights,
the building of Il new courthouse and all
the other manifold activities of the com
munity. New York building sites in
crease in value at the rate of about
S16o,pnH'o year, and nearly all of the
advance is due to the enterprise of the
whole community. FairhOpe Ala, is

ing maintained by profits from the rental
Of town lots. Orson, Sweden, and 1.5O

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.
IGROWTH OF CITY PROBLEMS.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

realizing that tie cumbersome methods
| of municipal administration of the past
are no longer adequate to meet the grow
ing problems of city government. have
adopted the commission plan of control
ing their affairs Scores of other cities
and towns are considering the question,
and it is estimated that within five years
at least 1000 ob American citizens will
be residing in commission governed terri
tory.
The great number Of problems that have
arisen in city administration were met
and solved in Europe almost d genera
ton before America awoke to the need
for Improvement. With their governments
widely diverse in the details of admins
traton. with their people differing in their
national characteristics, the cities of Eng
land, Holland, France and Germany all
werc able to hit upon some basic princi-
pies that produced the same good results
wherever tried.
But in those DAYS America was an aGri
cultural nation and municipal affairs pos
scsscd interest for hut few people. Today
il is different. for one person out of every
three in the republic lives under mu-
nicipal government Of one Kind or an
other. The wonderful growth of the
American city has brought with it vast
expenditure of money. Not only has the
growth Of expenditures been caused by
the expansion of the cities of the Coun-
try but by the multiplication of the ac
tiytieS in which these municipalities en-
sage. In the old days cities bothered lit
TIC with the problems of the community.
If they enacted the laws. maintained or
der and collected the taxes that was
enough.

That it possesses many advantages, fS-

movement, which is a most wholesome
one, is likely to suffer in The near future
unless its advocates modify their claims,
1t is equally wrong to assert that the
system is panacca for municipal ills
or 10 brush it aside a passing fancy.
The city problem was II small one in
all parts of the world until the middle
of the eighteenth century. Though Asia
mad possessed great cities centuries be
fore, the people simply existed and no
real problems were involved. In Europe,
Rome had been able to boast At one time
