Commission form of govern
ment for the cities and towns is
coming, And then look out for
the adoption of the system for the
counties and maybe later for the
States. Under our present old
regime there are too many officers
and too little efficiency for what it
costs.

1t appears from reports that
Gov. Major intends to appoint
only lawyers on that commission
which is to revise the code of legal
procedure in this State. We sug-
gest that he name several laymen
also. Laymen in the Legislature
will have the final disposition OF
the question anyway, and ther
again there is prejudice agains
the lawyers making all our laws
that prejudice should be dis
PEELED.

The Fulton Gazette advises the
land owners to cut up their farms
into small tracts and sell them to
Door men, and the Auxvassc Re,
lew calls such advice rot. Hold
mp. Bro. Hook, we think you re on
the rot side of the question, and
Hro. Bell is right. We have too
many large farms, both in Gala
way and in Audrain, and that 5
one reason we have so much poor
farming, too. This editor was
raised on a farm and we know
how it's done. One man has no
business scratching over 800
acres Of land when 40 acres is
more than he can cultivate as it
ought TO be. Well see these
things more plainly as time pass

with the remarkable registration
