COMMISSION RULE
TEARS GRIP FROM
GRIP Of POLITICS
FLOATING DEBT OF. TOPEKA is
WIPED OUT AND COMMISSION
ERs PLAN TO REDUCE THE TAX

Post.l
TOPEKA, Kas., Jan. 6.~-Topcka,
capital OF Kansas, seat OF the great
shops of the Santa Ne Railroad, and
sweltering in the dust Of its dirty
streets. is striking example of how
commission government wipes out mar
row political lines OF cleavage.
Back in 1907 citizens meeting
called attention TO the success OF the
plan in Galveston and committee
was sent down there 10 investigate.
The report was favorable. and by
1910 Topeka had gotten a new char
ter and held new election.
Topeka is naturally u Republican
city. although always one or two pes
ky Democrats got into council and ask
ed embarrassing questions and gener-
ally made themselves misances.
The powers that be in the Rerub'
!ican party figured that under the
commission plan they would make a
clean sweep. especially as all the
newspapers in the town were Repub'
lean and would stand by the cOlors.
Rude Awakening.
When Topeka woke up it found that
It had elected three Democrats and
Two Republicans. Moreover, II was a
pretty representative bunch of citi'
zens-a mill owner, n bond broker, a
newspaper man, a house mover anu "
barber.
The mayor. j. d. Billiard, mitd-na'
turcd, bewhiskered little Democrat,
had IN times past been n police com
missioner named by the governor ana
member OF the North Topeka Drain.
age Board.
Kansas has a statewide prohibition
law and Billiard freely expressed his
Oplulons about its bringing endless
cvasions Of the law.
Also% lie said uncompllmentary
things about reading the Bible in the
public schools, thinking the place for
religious instruction was In the home
and in the sunday school. ss
AS a result, when in 1914 Billiard
ran for reelection, the Republicans
ioyousiy counted on defeating him,
The Republican ring was Of c2urSo
against Film; the newspapers were
against him, the temperance people
were against him: the churches fought
him, andsthe Y. NJ. c. A. campaisned
against him.
And Billiard was reelected.
Streets Are Cleaned.
The big conspicuous failure OF this
administration which was, neverthe
less, Endorsed at the polls-is in the
inability to keep the streets clean.
On the other hand, 1t pleased the
people by jumping in and lighting for
them when the local gss company
