the plan in that city are confident of
success Jackson is also giving seri-
GUS thought to change. Hattiesburg.
so far as can be learned is the first
city operating under the plan that
has shown any desire to return to the
former plan.
From the scope of the movement,
which was begun only about ten years
ago, the hundreds of cities that have
| adopted commission government and
the hundreds of others that are ask
, ing for it, it is only question of n
few years until every progressive city
in the country will be operating under
the plan, Hattiesburg included, even if
the coming election should be ad-
verse.
Its Growth and Success.
The history and growth of the
movement in this country is pretty
well covered in the following editorial
from the Post-Dispatch.
Ten years ago the commission form
of government was regarded by Amer
leans as a fad of sociologists and mu.
nicipal reformers. 1t was an expert
mental novelty. Not a city in the
union had tried the experiment and
it was practically unknown to the
masses of the people. Toronto's sue

UNCLE IKE WEEPS
when REED SPEAKS
Aged Wisconsin Senator on Trial in
the Senate-vote viii Be
Close.

Washington, March 26.-Isaac Ste.
phenson, the octogenarian millionaire
lumber man and banker of Wisconsin.
was yesterday formally placed on trial
on charges involving the validity of
his seat in the United States Senate.
The entire session was taken by Sena.
tor Reed, of Missouri, with a speech
in opposition to Senator Stephenson
retention of his seat.
Friends of the Wisconsin senator
say they expect safe majority for
him, but admit the loss of one or two
of his former adherents. His oppon-
ents contend that the vote will be
close, some even saying the result
would be against Mr.. Stephenson il
his colleague, Senator La Toilette,
should return and vote in the mega
tive
All through the debate, Senator
Stephenson, the first to enter the Sen.
ate chamber, sat quietly back in the
rear tier of seats, occasionally apply
ing a handkerchief to his moistened
eyes as the charges of political cor
ruption were fired across from the
Democratic side. Close by him sat
Senator Lorimer, of Illinois, giving
close attention. Mr.. Lorimer's election
is similarly under fire.
There was large attendance of
senators and the galleries were
crowded.
Senator Reed said if the Senate ac-
quilted Mr.. Stephenson, 1--WE ought to
be brave enough to hang on the door
of the Senate the legend: Those
who have the money can enter here"
Mr. Reed said Mr.. Stephenson was
not the political novice he had been
represented to be. Mr.. Reed denounc-
ed the use of money as "the open door
to wholesale fraud, an appeal to cup
idity and not to reason"
The main effort yesterday was to
controvert the theory that Mr. Ste
phenson was innocent of wrongdoing
because he had not violated any Wis
consin statutes, and Mr.. Reed stamp
ed as absurd the claim that the Senate
could not go back of the legislatures
action. He contented that the viola
tion of a specifica law was not neces-
sary to invalidate an election. He
was not willing to accept any such
contention that unless a man has
qualified himself for the penitentiary,
he has not disqualified for the senate"
For that brought the senate and the
prison too close together for comfort
able responsibility.
This was not an election" he ad.
ded, ''it was a revelry of crime and
corruption; a campaign in which the
barrel was the controlling figure,

long green"

cessful trial of board of directors
for the municipal corporation was the
one notable example of simplified
business government on this conti-
nent.
A list carefully compiled to June OF
this year showed 1873 cities, with a
population of 3,5OO,O0O, governed by
commissions. Since then the number
has risen above 200.
Galveston, Tex, started the move
ment The experiment there grew out
of the emergency created by the dis
astrous food of 1900 The commits
sion of engineers selected to formu-
late and execute plans for the recon
struction and protection of the city
was the beginning. The commission
scheme worked so well that the peo-
pie of Galveston decided to make it
permanent.
Previously municipal government
was modelled after the political gov
ernments of the nation and the states.
1t had generally chief executive.
two legislative branches, a large num-
Der of elective officers and all the
cumbersome machinery and checks
and balances of constitutional govern
ment.
The fundamental idea of the com
mission experiment is that the munic-
ipality is a corporation organized for
the sole object of transacting the com
mon business of the people of the city.
without regard to politics. 1t has to
do with business only, such as sani-
tation, street and sewer construction.
public utilities, eleemosynary institu-
tions and municipal regulations. The
prime purpose of the commission was
to simplify municipal government. re-
duce the number of elective officials
and increase it's business efficiency.
Supplementing this original purpose
are other ends, such as the elimina-
tion of corruption and of the power
of party bosses and political machines.
The accepted model of commission
government is that of Des Moines, Ia.
which has a city council composed of
the mayor and four commissioners.
who exercise the powers of the mu-
nlclpal corporation and transact all
the city's business. The government
is divided into five departments
public affairs, accounts and finances.
public safety, streets and improve
ments, parks and public property. The
ward system is abolished, the com
missioners being elected by the vote
of the entire city.
The importance of the experiment
is based on the Importance of good
city government as a factor in the life
of the people. That the corruption of
municipal politics and administration
has become one of the greatest evils
of the country is universally acknowl-
edged. Municipal corruption not only
resulted in the spoilation of cities,
but exerted vicious influence on ma
tional and state governments.
Scope of the Movement.
Oakland, CAL, with 150,174 popula-
ton. is the largest commission city.
Berkeley, with 40,324. and San Diego,
with S9,57S, are two others of the
eight California cities that have adopt
