THE LIBRARY BONDS.

There seems to be prospect OF
favorable action by the city council
on the proposition to issue $4,000 to
build an annex to the Cairo public
hbrafy, At the meeting Tuesday
night the feeling seemed TO be unani-
nous that the bonds should be is
sued That the new building IS
needed there can be no doubt in the
mind of anyone who is familiar with
the conditions; and that il would be
in the interest of the educational
progress of the community, to foster
end develop the library none can
deny. The library is under the
management of some of Cairo's best
men and women, who are thorough
~ competent to see that 1t Is sun
piled with the best literature ex-
tant; and it serves, therefore, as an
important educational institution for
the public, providing valuable ane
wholesome reading for young and
old. That the library Is serving this
purpose we'll and is steadily gaining
in favor among the reading public
is proven by the following figures
from the lfbrarian, Mrs. Powell,
which present comparison between
1906 and 1910:
Volumes in library in 1905, 1929
in 1910, 1868; gain, 1899.

Number of card holders in 1905
1929; In 1910, 1908; gain SIG.
Number Of people using reading
room during 1910, l3,151.
II would be difficult to present "a
stronger plea for the issuing Of these
bonds than that presented in thes {
figures, and they offer every justin
cation for the issue wnen taken In
connection with the fact that the I'M
proyement Is necessary for the con.
tinued development or the institution
that It may meet the needs of the
future.

Green and others at the council meet.

sina a SONG Of sixpence.

The London Globe attempts an ex-
PLANTATION of the rhyme Sing Song

THE BOYS" AND PUBLIC OFFICE

In dealing with the effects OF the
lust for power DR.. Jenkin LLOYD
Jones remarked that "as long as the
office-seeker is under the spell Of
the conviction that the boys do the
electing, as long as the saloon is the
headquarters OF politics and not the
church, 1t is hard TO remove corrupt
officials or raise the standard of
morals Of those in office"
The facts fully account for the
spell under which orfice-seekers
generally labor. The "boys" are too
often suffered to do the nominating

What Some Cities Have Done.

Des Moines has been operating under
the Commission plan nearly four years.
They have population of over 100, 900,
and after the first year they were able
to show the following results:
Without increasing the tax levy, thew
built concrete bridge across the Des
Moines River, costing $150, 10000, and
paid for it without asbond issue. They
looked after streets better than ever be-
fore; nearly double the amount of
paving done; reduced water rates 20 per
cent; and increased wages of day labo-
rers to 222c. per hour, and teamsters to
45c. All this and more was done at a
saving in one year of 1924, 10000, and
in addition the tax levy for the follow
ing year was materially reduced. The
old council left debt of $119, 600. 90
the new rule paid all its debts and had
a cash balance of $1O5,OO0.O0 at the
close of the first year of operation.
Nothing but good reports come from
the cities that have tried the new plan.
In this state we have Eau Claire and
Appleton already working under it
with dozen or more now considering
change, and outside our state there
are over 100 cities that have successfully
tested the new plan and we have yet to
hear from the first city that would go
back.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1911-11-07
How To Secure it.

In order to secure the Commission
plan a petition bearing the signatures
of rs per cent of the voters at the last
election for Mayor must be presented,
asking that the plan be submitted to a
vote. If submitted and carried, then
the new plan becomes effective and the
new officers are elected at the expiration
of the term of the present Mayor and
Councilman, which is next April.
The principal provisions of the Com
mission Plan are as follows:
l. A Mayor and two Councilmen
elected by the city as a whole-ward
system for City election done away
with.
2. Salary-For Mayor$3OOO.O 90, Coun-
cilmen $500. 00-nOne too much to get
the best men and it has proved to be
good Investment" in other cities.
3. Term of office of Mayor shall be
SIX years and of the two councilmen
six years, except for the first term one
shall hold two and the other four years,
to be determined by lot after the election.
4. Any man, except as provided in
the statute, can run for the office of
Mayor or Councilmen by presenting a
petition signed by at least twenty-five
voters, and the election shall be similar
to our present primary plan.
5. A candidate when elected must
devote his entire time to the duties of
his office-in other words, can have no
other business, all his time belonging
o the city, and therefore constantly in
the employ OF every citizen.
6. In case any OF the members of
the Commission has not done his full
duty, and rs per cent of the voters sign
a petition to that effect, he may be
recalled and All election called to elect
his successor, and should he be unable
to secure majority in said election his
office will be declared vacant to be taken
by his successor. This provision not
only helps to get good men, but helps
to keep them good.
