New Plars for State Fair.


While the state fair this year is
over it nevertheless is still an inter
esting topic and no pains will be
spared to make the fair next year big
ger and better than ever.
meeting of the State Fair assocIa-
ton will be held some time in the
near future, and while nothing definite
has been outlined, many recommends
tons will be made and work along
somewhat different lines than those
followed in the past will be taken up.
One of the chief recommendation will
be that the Wisconsin society pattern
somewhat after the organization Of IL
linois.
In speaking Of the matter Dr. Gus
tav A. Kletzsch. a member Of the
board of directors and one of the prin-
cipal figures In connection with the
big show here annually. said:
1t would undoubtedly improve mat
ters which have existed with the Wis
consin state fair if we could bring
about conditions such as are main
tanned in the state OF Illinois as to the
relations OF the county fairs to their
state fair. They have an organization
Of all their county fairs, numbering
1902. which virtually participate in the
successful issue Of the Illinois state
fair. Each of these 1872 county organi-
cations every two years send three
delegates to Springfield, where they
meet during the progress of the state
fair and elect a president who is either
selected out of the body of delegates
or an outside candidate may be cho-
sen.
Out of the body of delegates are
selected members of the state fair
board equal in number to the con
gressional districts of the state, which
is twenty-five This constitutes the
board. They have absolute charge of
all the business pertaining to the Hi
nois state fair. They are responsible
to no one. The state legislature APP
proprietes large sums of money annu-
ally for the benefit of the state fair
and these moneys are used to the best
possible advantage as the board d.
reefs
The state fair is held at the close
of all the dates of the county fairs
and as a grand windup. Each one of
the county organizations sends large
quota of visitors to the state fair. The
state fair board naturally sees to 1t
that the fair and exposition In every
sense of the word comes up to the
tastes of the visitors, and | can say
that they certainly draw the people
from the state to Springfield in very
large numbers.
The fair is open only up to 6
o'clock and after that hour II de

Socrates al Athenan philosopher who born in 470 B. c. not appear have had any first name, was familiarity known around Athens as Soc" This was evidently misnomer, as he never wore socks of any kind, being the sockless statesman. Even when he became member of the Athenfan senate, Socrates used to rise up and denounce the pork bar rel and the rivers and harbors bill and he is the only senator on record who never pIastered stitucncy with public buildings and Tadish seeds Xanthippe who of the Hppiest females known to profanc sacred history. Nanthppe had d very rugged and porcine vocabulary. and she would stand in the front door and throw it at Socrates until he turned in the postOffice. Soc also handicapped by being the father of two pin headed who didn't know whether they going coming Despite these drawbacks, Socrates became a great teacher, and the in Athens let his mind without any binders People used [ sit Socrates his juicy corruption the senate rates was opposed to corruption in any form. and elected to the senate number of times without the aid of campaign cigar.

The Memphis Plan

Memphis, the second city of the south, is in the fourth year of the commission form of ernment. that time there has been a general lowering of rates-the tax rate. freight rates the death rate-alI results of greater efficiency in The city has also grown much rapidly within the last years and has adopted more improvements. All this has been accomplished a a annual expense to the taxpayer, a government less money, the expensive poli- tcian eliminated.
 That O government Memphis does not include the city manager plan is unessental. since the efficiency economy is sounded. Large cities have only recently learned that the managerial system may be ployed by them advantage and believe in time this improvement will be adopted by the progressive city of Memphis.
 As have pointed out. the great vantages of the commission government is that in eliminating politics and converting the ernment into business proposition, the greater terest of citizens is enlisted They take notice O what is going They feel a pride in good gov ernment and go to the polls, not to help somebody get office for the salary there is put the best job.
 The government of Memphis a unique stimulus to public interest and encourages pub lie supervision work of city employees. On the back every city pay check there is printed in red ink the following:
 q A $1O0 be paid by the city O Memphis to person who and will furnish proof that any city employe has been guilty of grating while holding such employment The name of such informant will in be divuged. The city government pays good salaries, turn expects and insists on good service which 1t is getting. Neither the mayor any city commissioner is grating; there is talk the world about graft in munich pal work and if there grafters connected with the city of Memphis. the city commissioners would like to know it. The offenders will only be removed from the city pay roll. but they will be prosecuted the full of law.
 This is a good plan for the city well for employees. To the former insures a faithful service and it guards the latter against loosely uttered unfounded charges by irrespOn- sible people. In Memphis the who stands the defames employees given consideration His accusations would naturally be considered without foundation, for if not, he would be expected go the standing reward of s10O for evidence unfitness
