it brought forth a very interesting dis
cussion and many points were brought
out by the different speakers. The
main object of the club in discussing
the matter was to get all the informa-
ton possible about it. All well-inform-
ed citizens of Bookings feel satisfied
that our city affairs are not conducted
as efficiently as they might be. There
is no criticism Of the present council
but a change of the form Of govern
ment would probably be a desirable
thing. 1t was brought out that the
present state law governing cities
operating under the commission form
does not provide for officials to handle
municipal business of the character
that Brookings conducts. This city
does more business than any other
municipality in the state, in fact 1t
has more business to look after than
the average city ten times as large.
Just how we can get around this state
law is not apparent and it is evident
that Brookings will have to forego the
commission form until the statute is
changed. AS a substitute the city
might employ a city manager who
would have charge of the telephone,
electric light and heating plants. The
secretary of the club will obtain all in
formation possible on the new systems
of city government and the club will
take the matter up later and it Is
probable that when some definite plan
is worked out a mass meeting of the
citizens will be called. Regent Dwight

The city of GAINESVILLE, Wis, is very
proud of the record made under the
commission form of government which
was adopted two years ago. The tax
rate per thousand dollars has fallen
from $500 to 1926, and this in spite
of the fact that more permanent i'm
.provements have been made than in
any 8 years together previously. The
city has three commissioners who de-
vote their entire time to the business
of the city and who have charge of all
the city business except the public
school management.

The suggestion of Mr.. Starring that

doubt true. We have suspected it for
a long time. We also think his criti-
cism of the present system in vogue

line with what the Register attempted
to say in its article of last week, but
apparently" we did not make it quite
strong enough to suit Brother Starring
who certainly has had a whole lot to
contend with along this line for the
past year or two in his capacity as
publicity man at the State College. We
realize that the effectiveness of his
work has been badly handicapped by
some of the inferior work that has
been turned over to him by the state
printer. Our article of last week did
not criticise the facilities of the Nit
chell Publishing Co, for turning out
good work for we understand that they
have one of the best equipped plants
in the state, but as Mr.. Starring says:
