tfon of the commssion-manage form Of
government here viii constitute the Sec
ond instance in which flood disaster has
been responsible for an important de-
parture in municipal affairs. It was a
flood which. in 1900, washed Galveston.
Tex, the famous Galveston commission
plan, which has now been copied in about
800 cities. and 1t was largely due to the
flood of last March, which created such
widespread devastation in the Miami val
ley, that the commission-manager plan
of city government was adopted here.
The new charter, which was adopted
August II by an overwhelming majority
of the voters in this city, vests the gov
ernment of this city in a commission )f
five men, affording the same short ballot
that is the basic idea of the Galveston
plan.
1t will be the duty of this commission
to employ, from any part of the country
it may feel disposed, a city manager,
who will hold office as long as he per-
forms his duties satisfactorily to the
members of the creative body.
Under the continuous direction and
supervision of the commission. the city
manager will conduct all departments
with the exception of the schols and
courts. These institutions are not af-
fected by the new form of city govern
ent
The salary Of the city manager is not
specified In the charter. but is left to the
discretion of the commission. 1t is prob
able, however. that the members of this
body. being keenly anxious to execute
their governmental ideas, will be willing
to pay a good salary for the man who,
then may be convinced. will be able salts
factory to fulfill all the requirements of
the commission. Tt is desired to secure a
trained executive--a man who may pos
sess all the varied attributes that will be
required in position that carries. with
It such diversity of duties and response
bilities.
Superior to Galveston Plan =
The friends of the local charter insist
that it is vastly superior to the Galveston
plan OF government. In the latter system
each member of the commission assumes
responsibility for certain department of
government.
In the Dayton charter the commission
ers are not expected to devote their en-
tire time to the discharge of the duties OF
their office, the successful direction of the
municipal affairs being entrusted solely
and exclusively to the city manager.
Each commissioner in the Galveston-Des
Moines plan acts in a dual capa city--as
a member of the board and q department
head.
1t is argued that there exists an i'm
congruity IN the straight. commission
form of government In that. inasmuch
as the government is controlled by
majority vote of five men. one of the
departmental heads may be placed in
the position of executing a principle or
the performance of a duty with which
he is not in harmony. The commission,

pounds per capita, says the National
Magazine.
If objection is made TO the per capita
test, 1t may be shown that Vermont leads
all other states in the production OF
pounds of butter per farm. Only four
states produce half as many pounds per
farm. Only seven states produce one
third as many pounds. and only 10 states
one-fourth as many pounds. In pounds OF
butter per square mile, Vermont is far IN
the lead of any other state. as it is In
pounds of butter per COW, and in the ratio
of dairy cows to population. This is d
wonderful record for little state, and It
can be greatly improved by the elimina-
tion of Improbable cows and the still fur

Free Trade to Begin.

1t is expected that millions Of dol
lars worth of imported goods now held
in bond will be withdrawn for distribu-
tion in this country within two or three
days after the new tariff rates become
effective.
The eight and one-half hours of de-
bate In the senate today produced but
little real criticism OF the tariff bill or
the conference agreement. CHIEF interest
centered in the speech OF Sena tor Penrose,
who raised the standard OF the Angora
goat over the Democratic party and
moved the senate to continued bursts OF
laughter with his alusion to the new duty
that has been put on Angora wool The
principal criticism or the conference COM
mittee came from Senator Pomerene of
Ohio, whose amendment imposing
tax OF sl.10 a gallon on spirits used to
fortify sweet wines had been dropped out
by the conferees: and from Senator Borah.
whose amendment prohibiting the importa-
ton of goods made by. child labor also
had been eliminated. Senator Pomerene
said he acquiesced IN the decision Of the
conferees because he knew the senate
members had been compelled to drop the

SENATE TAKES
FINAL ACTION
ON THE TARIFF
Adopts Conference Report,
After Dreary Debate, by
Vote of SO to IL, Four
More Than Quorum.
COTTON FUTURES
QUESTION DROPPED
Measure Goes Back to the
House and Will Probably
Be in Hands of Presi-
dent Tonight.

WASHINGTON, Oct 2.-The Demo
cratic tariff revision bill probably will
be in the hands Of President Wilson
for his signature by tomorrow night.
The senate, at the end of a listless de-
bate, adopted the conference report at
$50 O'Clock tonight by a vote Of sc to
II, only four more than the necessary
quorum of the senate.
Senators La Toilette, Republican, and
Poindexter, Progressive, voted for the
conference report, as they did for the
bill on its passage, and Senators Rams
dell and Thornton, Democrats, voted
against it. as they did against the bill.
Otherwise it was a strict party vote.
Immediately after the adoption of
the conference report, acting on mo-
tions made by Chairman Simmons of
the finance committee. the senate re-
jected the Smith-Lever compromise
cotton futures tax amendment, passed
by the house Tuesday; and then re-
ceded from its own amendment, known
as the Clarke cotton futures tax plan.
Each Of these motions was carried with
out rollcall. The effect is TO leave

the cotton futures question out OF the
tariff bill so far ms the senate is con-
cerned.
The bill will be returned to the house
early tomorrow. At a conference of
house leaders today the question was
taken up as to whether the bill might
not go directly from the senate to the
president. While many parlinmcn-
tarians held that this course would be
legal, Chairman Underwood and Speak
cr Clark decided that the house should
take formal action tomorrow to recede
from its cotton futures tax amendment,
Such action will eliminate the subject
from the bill and the completed meas
ure can go to President Wilson at once
1t was thought at the capitol tonight
that the bill would become law Satur-
day. Anticipating such conclusion TO
the tariff revision fight, the treasury
department was busy today making fl
nal preparations to put the new rates
of duty into effect on all foreign mer
chandise on the day following the sign
ing OF the bill by the president.

but gave the latter about three months
in which to prepare for their retirement.

bill 10000 for the payment OF assistants

CREATION OF LIGHT
DISTRICTS PROBLEM

The city commission yesterday took
up the matter of creating lighting dis
trcts as petitioned for by the majority
Of the property owners in the business
district, and as provided for by the law
passed by the last legislature.
After much discussion the commission
decided TO communicate with San Fran.
cisco and other cities where the light
ing district plan is followed and to
gather data on which TO act here.
Six petitions for the creation Of as
many districts in which uniform light
ing improvements are to be made are
on file with the commission and the pc
titioners are demanding some action
The plan is to create the districts and
to assess the adjoining property owners
for the improvements much in the same
manner as street paving and other i'm
provements are carried on.

WASHINGTON, Oct. "A new provi-

United States marshals and deputy col
lectors OF internal revenue out Of the pro-
lection OF the civil service has been added
to the urgent deficiency appropriation by
tho senate committee on appropriations,
which reported the measure back to the

cessor at his discretion without regard

tions."

Limited in Operation.

Senator Overman chairman Of the sub
committee that drafted the provisions af-
fecting deputy marshalS and collectors
said 1T would be limited in Its operation TO
those officers required to give bond to
their superior officers.
The attorney general has differentiated
between these men and all other civil
service employees" he said, because
their terms expire with those of their
superior officers The collector of internal
revenue, or marshal who has to give
bond to the government for the faithful
performance OF his duties should have
the power to select his deputies from
men he knows and trusts, and should
have the power to remove them when he
deems 1t best"

Wilson approved the committees action
and did not regard it as a blow at civil
service The change 1t was officially

and aided by sinister influences in this
country that were opposed to restrictions
against child labor

so menacing 10 the citizenship OF this re-
public he added 'as the fact that these

Senators Burton and Penrose declared
the conference had injected new matter

were TO be congra tulated on the character
