Z How Columbia is Governed

Columbia is third-class city. That
is, it has a population between 5000
and $4,000, and such cities are de-
fined by law as being permitted to be
rated as third class.
1t is divided into four wards. Each
ward elects councilman each year
for term of two years. These eight
men and the mayor compose the City
Council. The council meets the first
Tuesday of each month.
The regular city election is held
the first Tuesday in April. At this
election on odd years the mayor,
marshal, attorney, police judge. as
SCISSOR, collector, treasurer and one
lcOuncilman from each ward, all for
a term of two years, are elected. On
even years one councilman from each
ward is elected for term of two
years. Besides these elected officers,
the mayor appoints a city engineer
and the council elects city clerk
The yearly salaries of these officers
are as follows: Mayor. $3.50; coun-
Gilman, $50; marshal, fees; attorney,
500 plus fees; police judge, $42O
plus fees; clerk, $500; collector, fees.
The bonded Indebtedness of the
city is $23S, 900. This is all for wa
ter and light. In 1904, 100000 in
bonds We're sold when the city took
over the water and light plant These
bonds run for twenty years and bear
1-2 per cent interest. In 1905
$4,000 more We're sold. The next
year $4,000 more, last year $125,-
900. making total of $265, 900.
However, $26,5O0 has been paid off.
To pay the interest on this indebted
ness and to provide a sinking fund to
pay it off when it becomes due. a tax
of 81 cents on the hundred dollars is
levied on all property. In addition
to this general fund tax of 80 cents
is levied. And still in addition a
school tax of 81 % and a county and
state tax of 50 cents. making a total
for the resident of Columbia to pay
of $3.42. However, property is not
valued at it's real worth.
The school district of Columbia
has a bonded Indebtedness of SAL
800. OF this about $4,000 bears
4 1-2 and the remainder ) per cent
interest. Some of this is in serial
bonds: that is it can or must be paid
off so much each year. the amount
increasing each year, the whole be-

ing paid by the end of twenty years.
The revised city ordinances of
1900 are now in effect. They con-
tain I13 sections. Besides defining
the officers. salaries, duties, etc,
some of the more important clauses
declare: Wooden buildings are pro-
hibited on Broadway. Cherry and
Walnut streets. and their intersecting
streets. between Fourth and Tenth
and Hit streets; every dog running
at large must be registered and a Ii
cense fee of one dollar paid; licenses
must be taken out by keepers of
dramshOps, meat markets. livery sta
| bles, hotels. lung testers, muscle de-
velopers. bowling alleys. pool tables,
carriages. hacks and automobiles
Corn doctors. lightning rod agents,
manufacturers of mineral water. for
tune tellers, circuses, collectors.
pawnbrOkers, soliciting agents. street
parades, peddlers and patent medi-
cine vendors must all have licenses.
To congregate on a street corner
may be unlawful. depending on what
1T is for or whether traffic is OBJ
structed. Students giving college
yells on the street are violating the
law. Loud talk is prohibited. The
kind of dogs one may not keep is de-
fined. as is also what one may not do
on Sunday. Lettering on the street
is misdemeanOr. as are a charivari.
careless driving. firing of guns. can
mons. firecrackcrs, etc. and the fly
ing of kites. Saving or splitting of
wood on the sidewalk is forbidden.
Dead animals are not to be put in
wells nor left in front of door. Cit
liens are to be orderly and not roam
about the streets. Teams shall turn

to animals is defined and strictly pro-
hibited.

in the office to refuse unwholesome
and misleading copy, so the brewers
advertisements were permitted in
their columns.
The publishers of the Times en-,
deavored to keep the opinions of the
paper unbiased and it was only
when the brewers patronage showed
signs of comforting this policy, that
even the beer advertisements We're
refused. The refusal came after the
claim by the Times that the liquor
interests were responsible for the
election of a certain man, followed
by request from the brewers agent
that the subject be dropped, or pat
ronage would be withdrawn. Out of
consideration for the readers pocket
books and homes. the Times pub
fishers decided to purge the columns
and assume the responsibility for all
of the advertising appearing in the
paper. This meant that rival jour
nails would receive the brewers and
distillers' advertising. but the pub
fishers had the satisfaction of having
their own way, unhampered by
party, private interest, clique or in
stitution.
The advertising staff did not i'm
mediately start frOsting the win
dOws of the office, nor did they be-
gin the erection of a steeple over the
building. They put their teeth to-
gether hard. and set out to fill the
lean places caused by the rejected
copy. The publishers made money
in spite of the fact that the brewers
and the distillers were allied against
them.
The Detroit Times is great eX-
ample of a newspaper with cOnvic-
tiOn. 1t is a model for the journal
that would find its circulation in the
home. 1t has not suffered financially
from it's policy and the publishers
when they realize that they are min
imiZing the tragic consequence of
Over-indulgence.

Editor the MissOurian:-Did you
slip and fall on the icy sidewalk
Did you fall and get hurt? That's
too bad. The citizens Of Columbia
ought to have enough pride to clean
up the ice and snow on their side
walks. 1t has been there so long
that it has become nuisance. Not
only does this dirty ice and snow
look bad, but it is becoming so Slip
perry that it is dangerous to walk
over. Old persons are likely to fall
and receive severe injuries. Why
not clean it up? If it is allowed to
remain it will get worse. 1t shows
lack of civic pride on the part of the
citizens. If public pride will not
cause the citizens to clean up their
sidewalks. then why not have a city
ordinance that will compel them to
do it?

THE DIVORCE PROCTOR.

In the appointment of a divorce
proctor, Kansas City has taken a
step in advance of other municipali-
ties in the handling of this veXatiOus
question.
The prOctor's duty is to investi-
gate applications for divorce; to try
to remove the cause for divorce and
thereby reconcile estranged hus-
bands and wives A little reasoning,
tempered with friendly knowledge,
will undoubtedly lessen the number
of divorces.
W. w. Wright, LII. B. University
of Missouri, 1908, is proctor. His
fellows always said that Ozark
would do Ito tie tO"-On the base
ball field, when president of student
assembly, or as a friend. He seems to
be making good in his new situation.
1t is a striking tribute to that
ideal of service in our State Univer-
sity that the first divorce proctor in
America should be a graduate of the
University of Missouri.

WHAT ONE NEWSPAPER DID.

Imagine, if you can, temperance
lecturer trying to blow the foam
from a glass of water. When it be-
comes clear just how droll that ap-
pears, the action of the editors of the

that paper free from liquor adver-
tisements. is explained.
The Detroit Times, through its
editorial columns, condemned law
less saloons and whisky drinking"
says its publisher, James Schermer-
horn. in the December issue of the
Publishers Guide. What a bowling
inconsistency there is i'm the journal
that simultaneously prints an edi-
tOrial indictment of strong drink. in
connection say, with the latest mur-
der or defalcation, accompanied by

The Times did not arrive at this
point at its start. The publisher
would not accept advertisements of
whiskies. but they would accept copy
from the brewers. Beer did not ap-
pear objectional to them, as it did
not figure prominently in crime, and
was used with moderation and
sense by the steady German popula-
tion. The publishers say also that
the advertising of the beer men was
not misleading. as were some of the
whisky mems appeals. 1t was a rule
