company with the session laws Of 1909
and 1911.
One of the chief difficulties cncoun-
tered by members of the legislature at
the session just closed was the matter
of writing perfect title for their bills.
The reason for this was that the laws
have not been compiled since 1907 and
a great many laws contained in that
codification have been amended by the
session laws of 1909 and again by the
session laws of 1911. Thus, it was nee
essary that the title of new bills recite
all the sections and chapters which the
new bill sought to amend or repeal
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-03-15
Few Bills Recalled.

Two or three bills had to be recalled
from the governor because their title
was found defective by Attorney Gen
eral Barnes, who gave every bill care
ful scrutiny. One of these bills was the
new fish and game act. In recalling
that measure for amendment, the
house created an open season for deer
and elk and other big game for period
of twentyfour hours, for the reason
that the law which the new act super
seeded expired before the new law was
approved.
The difficulty here referred to will
be increased when the l19l5 legislature
meets and still more SO when the 1917
legislature meets, In 1917 there will be
a new codification, when the code COM

Now they are talking that there is
something back of the school board

As the A. P. A. movement of 20

there may be something doing along
that line.
If they ever get that religious issue
mixed up with the public school it
won't do the schools any good.
We don't know just what the kick
was on Mrs. Young, for she isn't
Catholic or a Mason.
However, it will probably all come

Chicago and Cook county would be
better off if Mccormick and every
body else on the County Board would
get down to business and quit play
ing politics.
While the trust newspapers gener-
ally are backing up Pres. Mccormick,
there is another side to the argu-
ment.
And Mccormick is playing politics
just as fast as any of the other fac
tons.
The main effort of each side ap-
pears to be to put the other side in a
hole.
And the net result will be to put
Cook county in the hole, if they don't
get down to business on non-partisan
lines.

sion reports 100000 violations of the

OF course, it might hurt business

won't hurt those. who want to get

De la Barra Doesn t
Blame Him Entirely.

Perhaps Senior Madero was not en-

one of his former intimates today His
type of mind was such as to make him
highly susceptible to Authorizations, and
his spiritualstic belief that he was the
embodiment of the spirits of Napoleon
BOnaparte and other national heroes
bears out this. Madero's acts against
the peace and prosperity of the coun-
try can not be entirely overlooked: we

Stick to Old Charter
On Head of Public Works.

1T would seem far better to have
adhered to the original draft of the
charter, which did not render it nee
essary for man to have been in the
practice of the engineering profession
for the period mentioned; in fact. with
out making the profession of engineer
ing a condition precedent. A proper
salary for the engineer in charge of the
street work and to the head of the
sewer division would have permitted
the employment of technical men OF
high capabilities for the positions in
question"

says;
The suggestions offered are made

No VIOLATIONS
HERE, He SAYS
Atlanta Manager of MCCaskey
Register Company Says His
Branch Isn't Tainted.

Leslie G. Solar, manager of the At
lanta district of the McCaskey Register
Company, many of whose officers, in
Guiding himself, have just been for
mally accused of violations of the Sher-
man antitrust law, when questioned
today regarding the situation, stoutIy
affirmed that the Atlanta branch is
above suspicion.
There is nothing in the charges so
far as I know" he said. while there
may be Irregularities in other districts
which have furnished evidence showing
a violation of the Sherman antitrust
law, the local office is above suspicion.
We have a force of eighteen statesmen
who are instructed specifically not to
attempt underselling or questionable
methods. The company offers 500 re-
ward for evidence of infractons. There
is no special squad of men known as
the flying squadron"
Mr.. Solar had not been officially no.
titled of the action taken.
For seven years Mr.. Solar has been
with the McCaskey company in ATTAIN
ia. Prior to that time he was sue
cessiVely nine years with the National

Salary Should Be
At Least $4,000"

"A. That not less than $4,000 a year
should be the salary paid to the city
engineer.
"5. Provision should be made so that
capable and honest city inspectors shall
be placed in responsible charge of all
work done and materials furnished.
These inspectors should be taken from
a civil service list of appointees, and
should be constantly present when con-
structive work is in progress.
Lastly, it would seem to your COM
mlttee that as early as possible a char
ter revision permitting complete re-
organization that would take the engi-
neering department out of politics and
provide for its organization along mod
ern lines is decidedly the need of the
hour. Until this is done. no permanent
relief may be expected"
The wisdom of the consolidation Of
the engineering department and the
public works department is questioned.
with the conclusion drawn that it seems
best to have the departments operate
under one head, which shall CO. ordinate
and systematic the branches. The
chief of construction Of Atlanta was
one advocating consolidation of the
two departments
Eighty-two per cent OF the cities re-
porting urged the civil service method
of selection of board employees
Whether it is wise to have an en-
gineer at the head Of this department
in average sized cities where the sala-
ry is limited was a question debated in
the report. The conclusion was that
the position of commissioner or direc-
tor of public works is one where bust
ness training rather than technical
knowledge seems most necessary. The
committee EXPLAINS its views.

Six recommendations
Are Offered.

Referring to local needs the most
pressing demand seems to be as fol-
lows:
Il. To open the doors to the selection
Of a capable city engineer, regardless
of place of residence or citizenship,
whose appointment should be absolute
ly free from politics. and whose selec-
ton should be predicated entirely upon
his ability and professional standing.
20. That the city engineer shall be in
responsible charge of the conduct of
his office and shall not be subject to
political or any other outside interfer-
ence. He shall retain office during his
proper administration of the same and
shall be removable only for cause.
3. That he be required to select the
heads of the various divisions of his
department and that all other engineer
ing subordinates be placed under well

Poise of Office
Upset by Elections.

1T is about as logical to elect a city
engineer by popular vote as it would be
for the thousand or more stockholders
of the Georgia railroad to ballot for its
roadmaster master of trains or super
intendent of motive power.
The dignity and judicial poise of
this responsible professional position in
civic life is lowered when the uncer-
tainty of an approaching election di-
verts the attention of the incumbent
from the duties of his office and invites
him to play politics, pull strings and
engage in other campaign excuses
more in keeping with the professional
politician than the professional engi-
ueer.
The conclusions are irresistible that
politics is. a fruitful cause of official
inetliciency in Atlanta and elsewhere. -
Wherefore, the committee draws its
conclusions, recommending
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-02-21

that whore sewers were built by con-
tract continual personal supervision
was necessary; 81 cities so responded;
their answer being Yes" Yes, abso-
Iutely; always etc. 1t was shown
by the engineers reporting on such su-
porVision. that exclusive Of engineering
services in connection Herewith, 81
per cent was the cost of such super
vision and inspection of contract sewer
work
1T is our understanding" says the
committee, that Atlanta has no such
personal inspection, the chief of con-
struction maintaining that the field en-
gineers in charge of the work were suf-
ficient to properly protect the city in
this regard
The salaries paid city engineers, it
was shown by the report. averaged So
I55 year. The salary which should be
paid for competent men. according to
the aggregate Of opinions, averaged
$5.16L44
OF the "a replies received by the
committee only one, that of r. NJ.
Clayton, chief of construction of At
lanta. advocated election by popular
vote. Nearly one-half the cities re-
porting have no requirements that the
engineer be qualified voter. This pol
icy the committee agrees with, saving.

question of its own Investigations which

This investigation was undertaken
