NeO Rule Sueeping The East.

The Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania has passed a commission
government law which will give
twenty-three cities in that state
the new rule. Such cities as
Reading, Wilkes-Barre, Harris
burg, York and Jamestown are
given charters under the new
law without even a referendum
vote. The cities thus affected
are those that petitioned for the
law and fought it through the
Legislature.
All other cities in the state, ex-
cept the very small towns, may
have commission government by
vote of the people, under the new
law, Philadelphia and Pittsburg
alone being excluded.
The politicians of these two
large cities had sufficient influ-
ence to keep the municipal gov
ernment away from the people.
Buffalo, which has voted twice
in York Legislature, will vote
again this fall for commission
government.
The politicians were able to
keep commission government out
of the eastern cities for many
years, but the people are winn-
ing the fight now. Kansas City
