deal of national interest. They are
published In over a thousand news
paper towns and are studied by mil
lions OF readers. They are received
warmly by the public and enthusi-
astically endorsed by clergymen Of all
the churches. Sunday school superin-
tendents, teachers, and adult bible
class scholars use thom In every
town where they are published. and
the general public are much inter
csted.
Contracting for this unique Bible
study question service forms Tho
Times and Its readers into local club

which take up the publication of these
questions at four different periods,
viz: Those that commence April-June

them. The contest will not com.
mence until the questions have been
published 13 weeks. In order to give

COMMISSION PLAN
N IS BIG SUCCESS
City's Income Increased and Needless
Expenditure Curtailed-Public
Service More Efficient.

KANSAS CITY, Kas. Jan. 14.-Kan-
sas City. Kas.. has rounded out her
first fiscal year under the commission
form or government, and she is we'll
pleased with the showing. She has
put herself on a business basis, has
increased her income, Topped on un-
necessary expenditures. and increased
efficiency In public service.
When the commission went In last
April, IL found about $4,000 in the
general fund, and $4,000 In the gen.
eral Improvement fund. IL costs $12,-
900 a month TO run the city.
The commissioners got busy. They
reduced the police force from So men
TO 66. and the fire force from IA to
81, and by furnishing up the depart
ments got just as good protection as
was secured under the old regime.
Then they went after the money.
They got all the money that was COM
Ing TO the city. For instance, they
got for franchises last year $4,000,
whereas the year before, under the
same conditions, the city got but So
600.
This is the way the collections OF
last year and the year before look In
comparisons:

franchises ....... 5000 90 $4,000 90
Motor car taxes. 1900. $50 IS
According to the report just sub
mited to the commissioners, this Is
the way they went about II to collect
moneys due the city from franchises:
The franchise given the Kansas City
Western Railway Co. required the pay
originating in Kansas city. Kas. This
never had been collected by the city
until the current year. The commits
sioners collected not only for this year.
Prio- to this year the Bell Telephone
Co. never had paid TO the city one cent
for tts rights granted 1t under It's
city being eight free telephones. With
out granting any additional rights to
the company. the city now Is collecting
gross receipts and receiving the free
use o. 16 telephones. This item amounts
to abut $4,000 for this year alone.
During the past year the city has
laid more pavement than In any other
year and has done II at a lower rate
.thanheretofore. Brick paving has been
reduced from $1.70 per square yard
to $50, and asphalt from $40 to
$751;
Furthermore, the city Is now build
Ing two new fire stations and a new
city hall.
Altogether Kansas City, Kas., is well
