Delegation Interview Col. l..

A strong delegation of our citi-
zens went to New Orleans the lat

before Col. l.. HI. Beach, repre-
senting our claims for the i'm
provement of upper Teche up to
Port Barre and the damming of
the Courtableau and throwing the
waters of that stream into the
Iecho. Those who were present
are satisfied that We will obtain
the improvements that are advo-
Gated by the United States and
State engineers and demanded by
all the people in the section to be
affected by these improvements.
The only opposition comes from
st. Landry people who want to
use navigable waters for irriga-
ton, and yet, the engineers tell
them by damming the already
partially dam med stream, they
will get more water for their irri-
cation canal.

this spirit shows itself less objection
ably here than across the water. On
this side a horse show is generally
chosen as the occasion which people
who are not capable of better things
select for the display of their finery.
We think that horse show is a much
better place than king show for a
display of this kind.
Possibly such displays don't come
often on the other side. 1t may &c
that along with other shams handed
down from barbarous days they are
put aside in everyday life and brushed
up only for coronation purposes. If
SO, We wish to join with all our power

looked on the Nurich attempts ut dis

TIE COMMISSION eILL.


One OF the first bills introduced in
the Georgia legislature was the meas
ure known as the commission bill,
which gives to all municipalities in
the state the authority to adopt the
commission form of government if
they so desire. This bill was intro
duced as result of the agitauon
now going on all over the state for a
commission form of government, prac-
tically every city of any size in the
state now considering a change. Gov
ernor Brown, in his message, also rec
commended the passage of such
measure and strongly endorsed it.
The passage of this measure does
not mean. Of course, that all cities in
the state will have to adopt the new
form OF government II Simply gives
them the right to do so ii they desire.
1t is hardly expected that there will
be any opposition TO the measure and
it will be passed by both branches of
the legislature during the present SEES
sion.
Commenting on the subject a few
days ago, the Atlanta Journal sal:
I'm the near, if not in the inrme
diate, future scores of cities in this
state viii demand a new and more
practical plan of municipal ADM lis
tration. The legislature will be almost
besieged with requests for special leg
islation, applying to various local
communities in order that this needed
change may be effected
1T is. therefore, the part OF OK
pediency and wisdom that at the next
session of the general assembly an in
elusive law be passed that will sive
the people of every town and city the
right to vote directly upon proposed
changes in their system Of local stv-
eminent.
The situation in Atlanta is clearly
illustrative of the need and the value
OF such plan. In this, as in other
cities, the step Of prime Importance
is first to secure the states permIs-
sion to make such changes as may be
necessary to the communitys welfare.
That done. the way will then be clear
for the people themselves to vote their
approval or disapproyal Of the partic-
ular system of city government that
may be devised and submitted. Thus,
the citizens of the community will
pass promptly and directly upon the
form of municipal government under
which they are to live"
A general law to be automatically
applied on business principles to the
cities desiring it will be most free
from the local iealousies, political in
fluences and bias that would surely
inject a fatal disease into the new
form of government, If allowed to
enter into its construction. that would
foredoom it,, if not to failure. at least
to only partial and unsatisfactory
success.
Let us have a general bill. by all
means.
