CHOCTAW QUESTION
NEAR SETTLEMENT
ONLY TWO AMENDMENTS STAND
IN WAY OF FINAL PASSAGE
OF MEASURE.
HOUSE REFUSES TO AGREE
TO SENATOR WILLIAMS CLAUSE
Oklahoma Members Will Strike Two
Sections From Bill, Leaving It Prac-
ticalIy Same as the Original Bill
Passed BY House in February.
Special to The Netos.

Special to The Netos.
Washington, July 27.-The conferees
on the Indian appropriation bill have
disagreed on the amendments affecting
the Mississippi Choctaws, the chief
point in dispute being the Williams
amendment which was rejected by the
House when the bill came back from
the senate several days ago. This
amendment provides that no money
held in trust by the government for
the Indians shall be distributed until
the rights of the Mississippi Choc-
'taws have been established, and was
adopted as an amendment to the SEN
ate amendment providing for a per
capita payment of 800 to the enrolled
members of the five civilized tribes
living in Oklahoma.
The Mississippi delegation. led in
the House by Congressman Harrison
and in the Senate by Senator Will
liams, will be satisfied if both pro-
visions are stricken from the bill,
and they have every assurance form
the conferees that in the final settle
ment of the points in dispute this will
be done. With these amendments
stricken out, the bill will be passed in
practically the same form as it left the
House last February. when Congress
man Harrison made a brilliant fight
against the provision for a per capita
payment ito the Oklahoma Indians
and succeeded in having it defeated
1t is conceded that the passage of
bill for the relief of the Mississippi
Choctaws will be virtually assured If
the per capita payment the Oklahoma
delegation have fought for so desper-
ately is withheld. This is what the
Mississippi delegation have persistent
ly contended for and they are conf
dent they will ultimately succeed in
securing legislation providing for the
of the rolls.

not . god thing. why should three hun
dred and ten cities IN the United States,
with population Of 7. .6s3. 26s, (nesrly 9
per sent Of the entire population Of
the United States). have adopted it
within fourteen years from its origin.
The adoption Of Commission Form Of
Government for this city will not be a
criticism Of any man or set Of men, but
will be adopting modern appliances for
the operation Of the City Government.
The Aldermanic Government was
good once because it was the best
known to exist. So was the stage
coach once the best and quickest model
Of travel; the scythe was the best
reaper known; wheat was once threshed
or beaten out of the husks with poles;
corn was shucked, shelled and ground
by hand; only few years ago, there
was no telegraph, telephone. electric
light, and the thousand and one modern
improvements and appliances adopted
by progressive people.
Shall we progress or stand still?
Shall we adopt new ideas of City Gov
eminent that have been tried by three
hundred and ten other cities and re-
tained by every one of them! Shall
the business Of the city be placed in the
hands of three men who have author
ity to control the employees and to insist
upon honest and competent service, and
whose every act in turn is subject to
control of the electors7 Or, shall we
retain the present system Of divided
authority, whose acts are absolutely
beyond the supervision or control of
the people during their entire term of
Office.
Remember that without exception
every city that has adopted it, retained
it; that all of them reduced their taxa
ton; increased city public property;
built more street psvements; more
sewers; secured more parks and show
ed vast improvement in all the details
Of management. Why? Because Com
mission Government is simply common
sense business management, such as is
BY successful business men.
Let's give it trial. If we don't like

magnificent plate glass fronts, the con

the great A. & NJ. College with its fine

FACTS CONCERNING COMMISSION
GOVERNMENT FOR CITIES.
(By Good Government League.)

Under the Mississippi Law, 1912, ther.
are three commissioners to be elected
from the city at large for term Of
four years, each of whom can vote or
all questions coming before them. All
| other officers or employees are appoint.
ed by the commissioners.
The commission holds public meetings
twice each month. Special meetings
NAV be called at any time. A majority
constitutes a quorum.
All the officers and employees are d.
rectIy under the control ofsthelcommis-
sioners, who fix their salaries, define
their duties, and they are subject to
discharge at any time for cause.
The salaries of the commission are to
be fixed by them after their election, but
will not become effective until submit
ted to vote of the people and approved
| by majority of those voting.
All acts of the commission with ref.
erence to granting any franchise or
right to use or occupy the streets, etc.,
or for the issuance of any bonds, bor-
rowing of money at interest, etc., must
be approved by majority of the elec-
tors of the city voting thereon at a
general or special election.
At any time, before ANY ordinance
adopted by the commission shall have
become effective, the people can cause
the ordinance to be suspended and the
commissioners must then reconsider it.
Gf, upon reconsideration, it is not
wholly repealed, it must then be sub
Enitted to the qualified electors, to de-
termine whether the ordinance shall or
Ishall not become effective.
There is also provision for petitioning
employees out of office for cause under
fusal of the commissioners to act favor
sbIy upon the petition, it must be sub
Emitted to a vote of the electors, etc.
No officer or employee can be inter-
4 tsted in d contract in any manner what
seycr with the city.

stance, provides for fixed salary, ac-
cording to population. 5000 to 10. 900
population, the salary is fixed 1t $500. 90
per annum for each commissioner, ex.
cept the Mayor, his salary being fixed
at $500. 90 per annum.
As the salaries of the commissioner
in this state are fixed by ordinance, to
be approved by popular vote, the peo-
pie control as to the amount that shall
be paid.
So, while there is fixed responsibility
under the law upon the three commits
sieners and their employees, the PEOPLE
CONTROL, as all their acts except routine
work is absolutely in the hands of the
people, who, by their votes, are to ap-
prove or disapprove any act, ordinance
or resolution affecting their rights.
There is no form of government yet
devised for cities that has been found
to be SO expeditions in the transaction
of public business. The controlling fea-
ture is that a city is corporation and
the commissioners are the Board Of
Directors.
In cities under Commission Form Of
Government, public utilities, street
paving, sewers, parks, side walks, etc.
have shown large increases and i'm
provement, while the taxes have
invariably been reduced. These results
are not attributable to the men holding
the Offices of Commissioners so much as
to the system, for in number of instan-
ces, the same men who held Offices Of
Mayor and Aldermen were Commits
sioners under the new system and were
successful.
