Will Move For General
Revision of Charter

Irrespective OF any action the Mich
igan mayors may take at the confer
ence called by Mayor Thomson to
discuss the advisability OF amending
the home rule bill. Aid. Charles E.
McCarty, OF the Thirteenth ward. de-
clares he will Introduce IN the COM
mon council next Tuesday night a
resolution providing for the submis-
sion TO the people at the April cleo
ton OF the question OF q general re-
vision of the city charter.
Aid. McCarty Is firmly convinced
that a charter revision Is the only
solution Of the difficulties In which
Detroit finds itself as a result or the
supreme courts decision In the
municipal ownership case. He seems
to have anticipated this decision, for
he had planned to introduce his reso-
luton fully 10 days before the deci-
sion was handed down. On the ad-
vice of some OF the older members
of the council, however, he decided to
hold on During the past few days he
has discussed the question with sew
eral OF his colleagues and feels sure
that the time Is ripe for introducing
the resolution. To submit the ques-
ton to the people requires two-thirds
vote of the council. Aid. McCarty be-
lieves he can line up the necessary
number OF supporters.
There Is no use In fussing around
with any other plan" said McCarty
to The Times, especially when there
is no certainty that the legislature will
amend the home rule bill even II we
do ask 1t. In the end, the legislature
or the supreme court, would tell as
to go back and revise our charter and
I think we ought to start the job az
soon as possible"

ADVERTISING TALKS.
tcoutinoed from Page ons)

DAILY NEWSPAPERS could be
employed to tell the purposes of
the different charitable organ
izations and to suggest that con-
tributions could be sent to GER
tain officials?
Advertising would certainly
prove, in the long run, to be less
costly and infinitely MORE Eff
FECTIVE than the old time
method of securing donations by
personal solicitation, or by cir
culars. q
Instead of the percentage Of
cost OF donations running up to
% per( cent, as is now the case,
it would be lessened through adj
vertising to 8 or 10 per cent.
This lessening of cost would
not be brought about in q min
ute-the advertising would have
to appear REGULARLY each
week to make any impression ON
the public.
This suggestion is respectfully
submitted to heads of the differ
ent charitable organizations
throughout the United States.
State your aims and purposes
and ask for what you want
through ADVERTISING IN
NEWSPAPERS that reach the
home, and you will get what you
ask for.
