COMMIsSIONG GOVERNMENT
FOR PARISHES.

Among the most important
measures passed by the recently
adjourned Legislature is the
Powell bill providing commission,
government for parishes. 1t
granted this privilege to the cities
/ and towns some years ago, and i
has been utilized by a number of
them. 1t seemed less favOrably
disposed towards the idea Of com
mission government for the State,
as provided in the Wesley Smith
bill, for it would not even submit
that proposition to the voters in
the form Of constitutional
amendment. believing that the
commission plan is unsuited to
he administration of a State.
We do not see much force in
the arguments Of several Sena-
tors against the Powell bill. 1t
contains nothing against public
policy, it is not novelty, for it
has been tried in the cities, and
in Kentucky and other States in
the counties, with great satisfac-
tion. and it has a decided pOpu-
lar backing. 1t is in full accord
With our governmental system,
and is distinctly democratic, for
the change is not mandatory, bnt
voluntary, made by the wish and
by the vote Of the people.
The objections raised that the
commission government proposed
for the parishes is centralized and
bureaucratic should not. and, We
believe, will not, carry much
weight. 1t is not disputed that
the parochial government pro-
posed by this bill is more cen
tralized than that now in force,
but the experience of the last few
years has shown the necessity for
greater Capitalization of power
and responsibility.
There are now eighty-three cit
les of over $4,000 population
greater i'm wealth and revenues
than most of our parishes living
under commission government,
and fifteen of over 100000 pop
ulation, and the number is in
creasing every year, as the sys-
tenn has everywhere given great
satisfaction. It has been, as we
noted, extended elsewhere to
with equally good re-
suits.
The complaints agains the Lou
isiana system of parish govern
ment bv police juries have grown
steadily stronger, and have been
greatly strengthened by recent
scandals in some parishes, which
have led to designations. That
some change must be provided to
meet these objections was in
evitable and has long been de-
handed. The Legislature has
done well in allowing the voters
Of a parish to make the change if
they desire it.
The Powell bill provides for
he election of three commission
RS in every parish, chosen at
arge, and thus abolishing the
ward system, which is as bad for
he rural districts as for New Or
cans. The commissioners take

SAFETY-FIRST INVEST
MENTS.

The get-rich-quick swindlers

vicinity of Wall Street; every

something for nothing. 1t is the
inexperienced. hard working,
carefully saving person who is
trying to educate his children

These words of warning are
offered at this time because the
signs point to big crops and

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-03-18
AGAIN WE'LL REMEMBERED.

Perhaps it is unnecessary to acquaint
Ira C. Calef with the information that
the people of Barre and vicinity appre-
ciate to the full extent his offer of
$4,000 conditional on the raising of $780,
900 more as building fund for the City
hospital, for the multiplicity of the pop
ular subscriptions, and the generosity
thereof, during the first week of the 10
days campaign will have conveyed to
him better than words can do that they
were deeply gratified by his generosity,
not only because of the size of the con-
tribution but also because of the in
spiriting influence it had ON them to
prosecute a needed and great work.
That the inspiration took hold is indieat-
ed by the fact that the minimum re-
quired sum has been attained and the
subscriptions are still coming in with
scarcely diminished flow. With that
condition in view, Mr.. Calef is well
aware of Barre's appreciation.
But with to-day's announcement that
Mr.. Calef has donated $4,000 to the
permanent endowment fund of the in
stitution when the new building shall
have been completed, it is fitting for
The Times to convey to him in far away
California the additional hearty thanks
of the people of Barre and vicinity for
making possible in very large measure
the fulillment of the actual work Of
the institution and the amelioration of
the condition of the sick in the field OF
operation which the enlarged and inn
proved hospital hopes to accommodate.
Mr.. Calef's second gift, entirely unso
lcted, as well as the first, is received
with thankfulness and with deep APP
probation of the potentialties for the
good of the general public that it brings.
