OF the commission and represents the

Inc commissioner of public works

The commissioner of public finance

The commissioner of public utilities

all public markets and public service

posal of garbage, etc.
The element of publicity is one of the
best features of the commission form
OF government. Good government
cannot exist" said Mr.. Fassett, unless
the people know exactly what is being
done at the city hall" All actions of
the Spokane commission are published
in a weekly paper, the Official Gazet-
to-" Through this paper the citizens
are kept in close touch with the en-
tire administration of the city.
The public parks in Spokane are I'M

pointed by the commission, although
its powers are restricted by state law
which brings all parks, etc., under the
direction of the state. The
citizens of Spokane recently voted a
million dollars to the park board to
be used in the improvement of the pub
lie parks.
Mr. Fassett spoke in high praise of |
the Spokane civil service system, I'M

are required to pass a strin-
gent examination before entering the |

facturers.

H. J. Mcguire, BIS. (Mng.E.) ~, has
recently improved the cup, or bucket,
which together with the rubber belt
to which it is attached form the carrier
used in elevating and transferring the
ore in mine.
The wear on the corners of one of
these trough-like cups is very great,
and before long the old cup, or bucket,
must be replaced by a new one. In
asmuch as all parts of the bucket are
not subjected to the same degree of
usage, Mr.. Mcguire conceived the idea
OF making cup composed of two or
more pieces, such that by replacing
the part directly affected the bucket
would be as serviceable as when new.
The result is bucket containing an
adjustable lip. This lip is attached
with but very little difficulty, requir-
ing less than half the time it would
take to replace a cup of the old style.
In addition to being more easily re-
paired, the new bucket can be manu-

THE COMMISSION FORM
Fassett Tells University How System
Works in Governing Spokane.

c. M. Fassett, commissioner of pub
lie utilities of Spokane, delivered 6
very interesting and instructive adj
dress at the student assembly, We'd
nesday on the subject of 1.-THE Commits
sion Form of Government" The as
sembly hall was filled to OVERLOOKING
and many students were turned away
for lack of standing room. Mr.. Fassett
dealt at considerable length with the
fundamental principles of the law and
with it's operation in Spokane.
Under the Spokane system, the COM
mission is composed of five men, elect
ed from the city at large, no geogra-
phical boundaries being recognized
The commissioners are elected for
terms of four years under such an ar
rangement that not more than two new
men will enter the commission at one
time. The duties of the various COM
missioners are distributed under the
following heads respectively: Public
affairs, public safety, public utilities,
public finance, and public works. The
city mayor is elected by the commits
sion from it's own number. He is des-

service commission as a court of last
appeal.
Such an employment system" said
Mr.. Fassett, makes it absolutely i'm
possible for an official to build up a
corrupt political machine
Spokane has fixed the length of it's
labor day at eight hours with a min
imum wage of three dollars. In Sc
curing workmen preference is given
to Spokane men who have families in
the city and whose money will remain
in Spokane
Another feature of the Spokane gov
eminent which deserves attention is
the preferential ballot system. The
preferential ballot is used in all city
election. Under this system any man
may file his name as a candidate for
any city offices if he succeeds in Sc
curing the signatures of 35 citizens,
certifying that he is fit man for the
position. In the election in which the
present members of the commission
were chosen there were 80 competing
candidates. The campaign expend-
lures of each candidate are limited to
$3.50, and after the election a sworn
statement must be turned in to the eff
feet that his expenditures did not ex-
coed this amount and that he was in
no manner party candidate. Con- ,
Guiding his remarks on the Spokane |
election system, Commissioner Fassett !
said: ''The preferential ballot system |
is, in my opinion, the finest means ev-
er discovered for giving expression to
the actual voice Of the people"
Another interesting feature of the
Spokane government is the initiative,
and recall. Under the
terms of the recall a petition for new
election must contain the signature of
Is per cent of the people who voted
at the last general election. Within 80
days after the petition has been pre-
sented to the commission an election
must be called. The referendum re-
luires the signatures of 10 per cent of
he voters and the initiative Is per cent
sor special election. The lowest esti-
nate of the expense of an election in.
Spokane is $4,000
"The proof of the benefits of the
commission form of government" said
SIr. Fassett, ''can be had only through 1
IN actual trial, except in so far as it
appeals to our reasons" The COM
mission government makes official re- i
more definite and, as a re- !
ult, gives the people a better admin
stration of their public affairs. 1t in
ests in the commissioners an unusual
mount of power but at the same time !

administration of the city government. {

FINE TRACK SCHEDULE
Graduate Manager Larson Completes
Best Program for Spring Sports
Idaho Ever Had.

This year Idaho has one of the best
track schedules she has ever had.
Graduate Manager Larson has ar
ranged for four meets, three of them
dual and the big conference meet al
Portland Whitman, Washington State
college, and Montana are included on
the schedule.
The date of the meet with Montana
has not been definitely settled but in
all probability it will be held at Mis-
soula on May 25. The Idaho team
goes to Pullman on May Is and Whit
man comes here May II.
The conference meet will be held in
the Rose City June 1. Six northwest
ern schools will take part. This will
be the first meet of the kind to be held
in the northwest and with the seven
best men from each school present
there will be good records made.
The All Coast meet comes off at the
University of California in April. Ida
no has been invited to send a team,
but on account Of the ruling of the
California committee that each man
entered shall have a certain record,
there is not much chance of the teams
making the trip. The record of each
man entered must be submitted to

can put a good man in office and tic
his hands SO tight that his power fol-
good amounts to nothing"
Under the commission government
the good man in office is given an ex-
cellent opportunity to exert his entire
influence toward the public good. He
is restrained only when his work be-
comes unsatisfactory to the voters of
the city.
In conclusion, Mr.. Fassett said: "All
forces for evil are always opposed to
the commission government; all those
who have been accustomed to dominate
the administration of public affairs
through corrupt political machines
line up against the new system. 1t
finds it's most bitter enemies among
the liquor interests and but few friends
among the contractors accustomed
to charging extortionate prices for
their labors." The commission gov
eminent as it exists at present, is not
PCilOSly puC II 10 q loI5 oISp Ill du-
vance of all previous systems. New
times demand new measures and new
men. The government that serves well
today will not serve tomorrow. I'M

are merely progressive steps in a
fight for truth, whose mirrors turn
forward to reflect the promises of the |
future instead of backward to reflect |
the past"

featured at a much less cost. The
main portion of the cup, on which
there is no great wear, can be made
of cheap grade of iron, while the lip
is made of the best manganese steel.
The life of the new cup is estimated
to be about one year as against two
months or less for the old one.
On February II Mr.. Mcguire has
been asked to present the merits of his
invention, known as The Glidden Ele-
vator Bucket, to the local section of
the American Institute of Engineers,
