 Yesterday letter was received by ,. M ormsby, president Of the Good Government league and an enthus- iastic advocate of the commission form of government. relative to the bringing of F. A Sherman. the able lecturer on this governmental re- form, to Tucson, which gives terms for his possible engagement. This letter. however. appears to have been written with the understanding that a summer engagement will be want ed. and whether or not this is admis- sable remains to the seen.
 The following is the letter receiy- ed by Mir Ormsby:
 Cedar Rapids. la. June ?. 1911. Mr. John Ormsby. Tucson. Ariz.:
 lnasmuch as Salt Lake will not want Mir. Sherman before July 1st. I will have to quote terms as if Tue soR were a single engagement filed from Cedar Rapids. and not inclCd- ed in a regular tour and en route
 He win give you two days. two to three addresses, for S2O0. Mr. She-- man paving his own railroad and ho- tel expense.
 You can use him for an entire Neek. ana HOF tS fN&lN HtlftHHtS us you reasonably require. for S300.
 An eastern tour is being shaped up and have held of writing you until l could get word by wire from Atlantic City as to when 5hey wanted him. but so far have heard noihing.
 I can probably arrange to deliver him at vour convenience this month. If conflicts arise. l will advise vnu | !, you Sincerely
 ERNEST ACKERaIAN.
 When Best Time.
 The receipt Of this letter opens mp the question of when Is the best time to bring the Iowa editor here. Will the best results be obtained by bav- ing a series Of lectures this month or In the fall? On this subject Mir Ormsby said he would like to have some suggestions. He will welcome any that sue offered. In case it shall be decided to have these lectures at once then they could be held ont of doors in the cool of the evening and would be attractive to the sur1mer stav-at-nornes as we'll as highly ln- STuctive Emanuel Drachman has offered the use of the pavilion at a4F oAetA hftohE ANA hAtN iAAlbAAA4lAA4 NtiSA Of expenses. winch would De abuut SIS per night.
 On the other hand if it shall be decided 70 DostDone the visit tiu fall those who are now away will be back from their vacations, and it Is rossi- that a larger attendance may re obtained
 How to Meet Expenses.
 ,,F of sucn series Of lectures also comes un for consideration. r was suggested that the council rscI.t raise the money. but there is TO provision that would permit ttem 70 do this Then if has been sugeste ed that tho ch0wher Of commerce raise the funds This again raises g reason against the ureseht month. for tEere have recently been many calls uuon the citizens of Tucson for funds that were absolutely required immediate ly.
 A third way will be for the ap- pointnrent of committee through the good government league
 Sherman Answers Argument.
 Tn a recent lecture at Jacksonville. Tinofs. NIT Sherman answered two of the ohieotions 70 the commission form of government as follows:
 ''Thev say that 1T is unconstitu- tional because council enacts law and execures it--that such thing is not warranted urier our bill Of funda- mental riefSs ' am not 2 lawyer. so orfe~ no De~sOnal Iegai opinion. but the commission plan has passed in review befora some of the brighfest and most learned attorneys in the country. and not one Of them has cared tc raise the quesrfon of consti- tutionai'tv Tho n'ar has now been in oDe-at'ar some fen years. and if it were u1core-itutioraI that fact world have becu 7evefoDed long ago.
 Not Fad.
 "ft is not an eynerimenf-a fad % That claim 's frl1v aas-ge-el by fbe fact that for a decade the nlan has been in successfTI operation and that at thc present time f has been adouoe7 n whole o- in mart in no fewer than nfretv-airnt cities in all rarts of Inc Tinted States. Surely the cfvic plan that can point to such a len~fh Of life anT such a remarkable | growth in popularity cannot longer | k~ rH~
