The NAN NOT The METHOD.

The city of Clarinda is to hire q
business manager. The city council Of
the Page county capital town passed
an ordinance giving the mayor author
ity to appoint such an official. The
person selected Is to receive si,100 a
city clerk also, which adds s4o0 a year
to his income. Altogether he will get
$500 year for his work as manager
and clerk. In short he VIII keep his
own books.
There is more in the man than the
method. II Clarinda can hire a compe-
tent, fearless business man who will
look after the city's business as a good
business man looks after his own bust
ness It will be a good job. II it Sc
lects some hanger on about town whose
political friendliness with the appoint
I've powers is his surest recommends
ton, It will get precisely what ii picks
up.
A city manager IS a good thing when
he Is good thing. There couldn't be
anything worse when he is worthless,
incompetent or crooked. A bright man
of reasonable maturity with knowl-
edge of business and who believes in
himself and his job would be as valu-
able to a public corporation as TO a
private business. There IS common
sense in real business management
for cities. disaster in placing men at
the head OF a city's business who have
never been able TO run any business Of
their own however small successfully.

A REPETITION OF HISTORY.

AS for the new California way OF
classifying the Japanese as "all other
Aliens" it reminds one of the language
adopted by the trainers of the consti-
tuition Of the United States when they
slid around the slavery proposition by
referring to negro slaves as "all other
persons. excepting Indians not taxed.
and as we understand the matter the
employment of such euphemy did not
visibly affect the status Of the slaves
nor relieve the United States from the
odium of having given countenance to
the system of slavery. The only way
the United States ever got away from
that odium was thru the abolition of
slavery. and all the different forms OF
statement now devised or TO be de-
vised by California are immaterial will
not matter until California concludes
to he decent TO the "Japs" and to rec
ognize in fact the right and power of
the United States to determine the for
eign relations Of the country.

If IT CAME HOME TO IOWA.

The Creston American put Iowa
ownership legislation. It's editor. W.
H. Robb, was member Of the legis
lature which defeated ii upon its first
introduction in 1856. He introduced
the bill in the next legislature where
it was passed and became a law. The
Jaw as i. passed and still stands made
the following provisions:
Nonresident aliens, or corporations
incorporated under the laws of any
foreign country, or corporations organ
lied in this country one-half OF the
stock OF which is owned or controlled
by nonresident alients, are prohibited
from acquiring title 10 or holding any
real estate in this state, except as
hereinafter provided, save that the
widow and heirs and devisees. being
nonresident aliens, of any alien or
naturalized citizen who has acquired
real estate in this state, may hold the
same by devise, descent or distribution
for a period OF twenty years: and II
at the end Of that time such real estate
has not been sold TO a bona tide pur-
chaser for value, or such aiient helrs
have not become residents OF TINS
state. such land shall escheat 10 the
state: provided that nothing in this act
contained shall prevent aliens from
having or acquiring property Of any
kind within the corporate limits OF any
Getty or town in the state, or lands not
to exceed 800 acres in the name OF
one person. or any stock in any cor
poratoin for pecuniarv profit. or from
alternating and devising the same.
But the resident alien II will be seen
has all the rights OF ownership. The
law applies merely to nonresident for
eigners. Under the Iowa constitution
foreigners becoming residents Of Iowa
are guaranteed the same rights in re-
spect "to possession. enjoyment and
descent Of property as native born cit
liens"

We repeat that no blue sky stock

that men who get money by lying or

A good county attorney is better
