SPOKANE UNDER
 COMMISSION FORM
Of Government Said To Be Most Practical and Advanced
 Tn America.

Spokane, Wash. March 21.- What is declared by experts to be the most advanced practical plan of municipal government by commission in America is now in operation in Spokane. Five com missioners, chosen from among 92 candidates at a special cleo tion on March ', when women exercised the right of the ballot for the first time in the history of the city, were formally in ducted into office on March IA, retiring Mayor Nelson s. Pratt and 10 councilmen. The commis- sion has been organized as fol- lows:
 Mayor and Commissioner of Public Affairs William J. Hind ley, formerly pastor of Pilgrim Congregational church.
 Vice chairman and commis- sioner of finance, Robert Fairley, formerly city comptroller.
 Commissioners of public utili- ties, Charles M. Fassett, former
 
 ly president of the Spokane chamber of commerce.
 Commissioner of public works, David c. Coates, printer; for mer lieutenant-governor of Col orado. a
 Commissioner of public safety, Fora E. Hayden, retired lumber mill operator and capitalist.
 The first three were elected for terms of five years, the last named for three years. The sal ary is 5000 a year, the bond of each being fixed at $25,O00 a year.
 The commissioner of public af- fairs appoints and supervises the city engineer, corporation coun- sel and inspector of weights and measures the commissioner of finance controls the books and offices of the city treasurer and auditor; the commissioner of public utilities has charge of the city water works and power plant, street railway, telephone and allied affairs; the commis- sioner of public works has super vision of streets, pavements and sewers, and the commissioner of public safety controls the police and firemen. The commissioners < also look after all the ranlifica- |tions of their various duties and may change and alter these by agreement.
 Three civil service commission fers, to be appointed to serve without pay, demand the merit system, examinations, probatlons, investigations and removals on charges. The purpose is to make permanent all municipal ap- pointment, calling for special fit ness, SO that faithful public of ficial may plan a career and it himself accordingly without fear of displacement by disfavor. Another feature of the charter is the provision for publicity. All the meetings are open to the public, and all ordinances ana other notices must be published in the Official Gazette, which is distributed free of charge. The mayor has no veto power. The charter provides for the initiative and the referendum and the recall. Fifteen per cent of the vote is required to recall any commissioner who has been remiss or unsatisfactory in his duty.
 The system of voting for the commissioner is ingenious. Twen- | lty-fiye electors may nominate a candidate by taking an oath that

The Nation of Hotel keepers.

The - playground of Europe" is the
very appropriate name bestowed upon
Switzerland. In the summer time
tourists come from all parts of the
world and fill the notes.-the best or
ganized and best kept of any in the
world-for the Swiss are nation of
hotel keepers. The statement of the
Chocolate Soldier. the hero of Bern
ard Shaw's Arms and the Man." that
his family has home with three hun
dred rooms, fifty servants. twenty
cows and so on, sounded like a baro-
NAL tale until he explained that he
was the son of a Swiss hotel keeper.
Now the long and severe Swiss win
ter has been turned to advantage,
and even when the great. blue lakes
are frozen and the snow nantes the
lower hills. the tourist still raves
over the varied beauties and grandeur
of the Swiss scenery and the many
delights of her mountain hostelries.-
