SAVED HUNTINGTON.

Before Huntington adopted the
commission plan Of government that
city had possibly the rottenest gov
eminent of any city in the state.
Under six years of commission rule
the city is now the most rapidly
growing city in the state. Since
the adoption of the commission plan
the population has increased from
10000 to $4,000.
The last financial statement show
ed over u hundred thousand dollars
in the treasury with only three thou
sand dollars Of outstanding orders
against the city.
Instead Of having a hundred thou
sand in the city treasury this city
cannot meet the outstanding orders
and there is more than a hundred
thousand dollars of floating indebt-
edness against the city. Under these
circumstances do you want to wait
two years for change when the
chances are that you will not get as
good a charter then as you have
proposed for your adoption at this
time. Remember the recall is the
most forcible club that was ever
given an intelligent people to COM

noN,T RE FOOLED,

Don't let any one persuade you 10
vote against the new city charter
with the promise that you can go
before the legislature in two years
and get just the kind of a charter
you want. 1t is harder to get what
you want from the legislature than
you might suppose. Before you can
do that you will have to elect just
the kind OF senators and representa-
tiyes you want, and you don't always
do that. Have you any assurance
that the next legislature will be any
more favorable to your needs than
the last one?

tisement for the city, and gives the
commission plan of government as
one Of the reasons why people should
move to Huntington, and that it has
had good effect is shown by the rapid
growth the city has made under this
form of government, the city show
ing an increase from 10000 to $4,000
people since the new charter was
adopted.
The Board of Trade booklet on the
subject of the Citizens board, or
council, says:
1.-THE Citizens board is purpOSely
made of larger membership than the
commission so that it may remain be-
yond the probability Of being cor
rupted. AS its members have no
onorous duties to perform there will
be no reason for the best citizens to
refuse election to the board.
ut is not intended that the Citi-
zens' board shall meet often,-only
" hen necessary to check the wrong"
full action of the commissioners-in
the passage of harmful ordinances
and franchises. The board will ope-
rate as a reserve brake to be used
only when the emergency may arise.
1t is in the nature of referendum
board, but it does not act affirma-
lively, ordinances and franchises be-
come effective unless vetoed by the
Citizens board"
The booklet Of the Board Of Trade
further says: THE city Of Hunting
ton has procured for itself from the
legislature of West Virginia model
charter We claim for this charter
that it is non-parsitan in not only in
theory, but in practice as we'll"
The new charter Of the city Of
Fairmont will most certainly be u
great step in the right direction and
is so far superior to the old system 1t
is beyond our comprehension to see
why any citizen who wants better
government will oppose it even if 1t
Is not all that is desired.

ARE WE HELPLEss2

The argument that the special in
terests might control the new COM
mission under the proposed charter
is not good one. If they can con-
troll commission is 1t not reasonable
to suppose that they will control the
council under the old plan? If the
people OF Fairmont cannot control
their own government when given
the initiative, with power to make
laws; the referendum with power to
veto laws or ordinances, and the re-
call with power to recall any elective
officer, 1t is certainly helpless and
hopeless case as far as Fairmont Is
concerned. N

Should Pay Him.

We venture the opinion that De-
tective BidGinger should be paid. He
has rendered the state a service
worth much more than what he
asks, so let's get done with his little
item OF $4,000 and begin figuring
up what the state has lost by not
employing him before this. We are
for economy every time. but graft
is about the worst extravaganza we
can have, and to get rid of it at an
unreasonable price is bargain. II
a motion is in order, we move that
Mr.. Biddinger be retained for the
next session of the legislature at the
same pay.-West Va. News.

ENJOYED Labor Day.

All thought of labor was driven
from our minds on Labor Day. We
sat upon knoll overlooking the
Kanawha, with the comliesl of the
sixteen. We watched the sunset
play its Kaleidoscope color effects
on the bosom of the river; we caught
the hush of the cleaning as it wove
its old, old miracle OF gold and gray;
and when we heard the trailing
garments of the night begin to
sweep through its marble halls, she
would her way slowly DER the lea,
and left the world to darkness and
to ME. But we'll forgive her. -

they encountered many hardships
crossing the California desert. Mr.

Spokane was accomplished easily and
without mishap.
