cITY MANAGEMENr.-l

CITY MANAGEMENT.-The poll
ticians are strangely managing our
city and county affairs. 1t seems as
though they do not understand bust
ness at all.
The purchasing agents are paying
over 25 per cent too much and every
department costs the city from % to
so per cent more than if privately
managed. Besides this the city has
a group of commissioners that are
drawing high salaries, with stenog-
raphers and attorneys that do not
bring the city 10 per cent of what
they cost. When you hear them talk
before election they know all about
business. They tell you how the other
fellow is wasting the city's money
and promise to right the former
faults. When the election is over
everything remains as it vas.
It is essential that the books of all
departments be examined monthly,
and not by attorneys, financiers or
politicians. A business man, carpen-
ter, bricklayer, a clerk or any work.
er could do the work more satisfac-
torily. 1 would suggest that five
names for each department be drawn
from the jury box for the monthly ex-

Sure he won, although he lost so
hours sleep, was insulted and wor-

battles of others and his is life of
service for others. Now, little ones,
when you pray just remember your
hero, who is still fighting for you in
Fairgrounds, schools, everywhere.
One writer said: God made George
Washington childless that this nation
might call him father" AS these park
Fairgrounds for children are being
copied all over the world, the kiddies
of the world might turn to their
champion and say: God made you
childless that we children of the
