La Grande has adopted what is
called the managerial plan of COM
miss on govern
Weakness OF the ment. There will
Managerial Plan. be a commission
of three members
elected by the people and they will
serve without salary. These men will
elect city manager to be paid good
salary and to have full charge of city
affairs, acting under the direction of
the commission that employs him.
This form of commission govern
ment may have some advantages but
IT is also open to grave objections. By
most advocates Of commission govern
ment the paid commission plan, such
as is in vogue at Baker. walla Walla,
Spokane and Portland, is preferred to
the managerial plan.
The weak point about the man
agerial plan is that It causes a divis-
ion of responsibility and in a way
takes the city government too far
away from the people. The city man
ager is in charge Of affairs, yet the
people do not elect him and have no
direct power over him. They can
reach him only through the commits
sion and the commission is an unpaid
body. which means that member will
not value his office as much as he
would were he drawing a salary.
The professed object OF commits
sion government is to fix RESPONSE
bility directly on certain men. This
object is lost under the managerial
plan. If citizens have a complaint to
make regarding any policy or any ad-
minlstrative act the commission may
say, go to the city manager, he is
in control" When the complainants
call upon the city manager he may
truthfully say. GO see the commits
sioners. owe my position to them
and must follow their instructions" /"
Under the other form OF commits
sion rule no such a situation as that
could arise The commissioners are
paid salaries and are expected to work
in person. Each man is in charge Of
a department or several departments
and he is directly responsible to the
people for the conduct OF his office.
Between the managerial and the
paid commission plan the latter is
greatly TO be preferred.

HOME GROWN CLOTHES.
Georgians Making Experiment With
Cotton For Mems Suits.

Some time ago in Spartanburg, s.

movement for home grown clothes
the wearing in the south during the
summer Of clothing made of cotton.
At the fair last fall he succeeded In
pledging $50 Spartanburg men to buy
suits made Of cloth woven at Spar
tanburg from home grown cotton, pro
vided the suits could be made salts
factorily Mr.. Alexander has now sent
a bolt Of Bedford cord cloth manufac-
tured by a Spartanburg mill to a
shrinking plant in the north.
AS soon as this is shrunk it will be
returned to Spartanburg and a tailor
will make a $3.50 suit for Mr. Alex
ander. The suit Will be worn and sub
mitted to a shrinking test If 1t stands
the test all right cloth will be ordered
for the $40 other suits, and Spartan
burg will be wearing not only home
made, but home grown suits.

KANSAS FRUIT GROWERS
FOlLlNG THE MI0DLEMAN.
Association Formed Nine Years Ago
Has Made Remarkable Success.

To get rid of the middleman and
incidentally to give the consumer more
for his money a dozen fruit growers
living around Wathena, Kan, Or
gani7ed a cooperative association nine
years ago. Today the Wathena Fruit
Growers association, with its 15O
members, is perhaps the most noted
fruit shipping concern in the middle
west.
1t all sprang from the disgust of one
man, W. R Martin, who, on a June
day in Wathena, tried to sell a crate
of twenty-four boxes of berries and
could get from the souIless middleman
who looked at them an offer of only
30 cents.
Martin started out at once to remedy
this state of affairs. He became gen.
eral manager of the new association
and has held the place ever since. The
organization is Incorporated for $685.
900, of which $4,000 is invested in a
building. Its general success has been
remarkable. Last year 1t sold its
berries at an average price of $1.32, or
164 per cent more than Martin re-
ceived for his fateful crate in 1904.
Wathena lies in the fertile Missouri
river district, about fifty miles north
important from a fruit growing stand
point that the Kansas experiment sta
tiCA has put an agent in the field there
to cooperate with the growers in fight
ing insects and advising on other prob
lens. Last year Doniphan county, II
which Wathena lies, grew more thar
100000 worth of fruit.
When a man is taken into the Fruit
Growers association, he pays into the
treasury SO. In addition, he mus
buy at least $5 worth of stock ant
may buy more If it is available Some
members own as much as 81 900 wortf
of stock.
The association spends little money
to get business. It has a reputation
for fair dealing and high quality fruit
so the business comes with little effort
Last year the association had q sales
man on the road only one week. TIL
total running expenses are about 500
a year, which includes the pay of tn,
Office force, consisting in the busy sea
son last year of a manager, an In
spector, two bookkeepers and bill
clerk.
All fruit is hauled by the grower
directly to the cars at the siding, wher
it is inspected. The fruit must grad
up to a certain standard and the nev
members of the association commonl
have good deal of their fruit rejected
The growers are paid little under tn
price which is to be obtained from th
consignee. At the end of the year tn
association pays 7 per cent dividen
on the stock, and then distributes tn
rest of the surplus among the member
in proportion to the number of crate
that they have shipped.

And ali say, bedad. brave Kipling's the had

He's ranking the drst today
Better laureate England never could get
At least so the critics say.
