State Meeting in Topeka Next
Month to Organize.
C. B. Burge, City Clerk, Issues
Widespread Call.
BETTER LEGISLATION
An Effort to Improve All Munich
pal Conditions.
Uniform Accounting System May
BE Mapped Out.

In an effort to obtain favorable
legislation In the future and to perfect
a uniform system of municipal ac-
counting in Kansas, the city clerks OF
scores OF state towns and cities will
meet in Topeka the middle of October.
fC. B. Burge, city clerk of Topeka, has
mapped out the plan and the meeting
/ in Topeka comes as a result of the
call he has sent all over Kansas
The meeting viii be held October IL
and IL. City Clerk Burge is bringing
them here that they might attend the
convention of the League of Kansas
| municipalities when not in their own
sessions.
For some time Topeka's city clerk
| has attempted to form an organization
| of this Kind. The efforts made by
Kansas cities to put through certain
legislation in the legislature last year
failed miserably on account of a lack
\ of concentration and united force on
the part of the cities.
In the future it is proposed to have
| the city clerks of the state organized
| so closely that at a short call from
the president at any time the clerks
| can get together and storm their rep
resentatives and senators in a body.
In this manner it is asserted that the
wanted legislation will receive much
more attention and with more sue
cess.
many state towns and cities to the
commission form of government has
made this new form a piece of wide
discussion. New, and as result raw
and rough the commission form of
government can be improved and
changed to the advantage of practical
ly every city in the state.
without a heavy backing behind
these matters, it is known that the
Legislature will have little to do with
the proposed amendments to the law.
The city clerks hope that they may
have additional power with the League
of Kansas municipalities in organizing
their forces for improved and addi-
tional legislation.
The matter of taxes, primary cleo
tions, printing of ballots, voting ma
chine election changes and many other
municipal features are standing shoul-
der to shoulder with leading problems
in Kansas towns and cities.
City Clerk Burge has written to
many city clerks over the state and
they have answered favorably. Many
of them have promised to come to the
Topeka meeting and Join with Mr..
Burge in the clerical moven ent. They
speak enthusiastically of the plan and
join with the Topeka clerk in saying
that II is a move in the right direc-
ton for the benefit of the clerks, the
cities and the taxpayers.
It is hoped at the meeting in Octo-
Der that 1t VIII pc possible TO arrange
a standard system of municipal ac-
counting in first and in second class
cities In case the cities have an au-
ditor. this official is invited to join in
the work.
II have had many favorable answers
on this plan" said Mr. Burge this aft
ernoon. II believe honestly that we
will have a good representation Of the
clerks of the state here next month.
We will show them a good time in
addition to our convention meetings" !"
