East Side Parent-Teachers.

The East Side Parent-Teacher AS
sociation held their final meeting of
the year last Monday evening, about
seventy of the parents and teachers
being in attendance. Miss Harris de-
lighted her hearers with instrumental
and vocal solos. Superintendent Bris-
coe spoke concerning the results of
recommendations made by the survey
board which recently completed their
work here. One of the chief points
brought out was that Ashland could
easily have more vocational training
along agricultural lines and the
school authorities wish the co-opera-
tion of the parents in having the chill
dren set out gardens at home. 1t is
hoped that an instructor may be hired
to remain through the summer and
keep the children interested.
A social good time and the serving
of refreshments followed.

halves of our country by way of the
Panama Canal. Here arc some of
the things listed in the cargo of a
vessel passing through the canal on its
way from New York to Los Angeles
and San Francisco: Battery cells,
caustic soda, olives, chemicals, earth
enware, glassware. lard, liquors, struc-
tural steel, machinery, refined pc
troleum, vegetable oils paint, paper
and paperware, pianos, rubber goods,
salt, soap, stamped ware, textiles, to-
thread The declaration was finished
with Balance, 1,1S9 tons, in small
lots of various articles"
Much Cheaper
A glance at the origin of this i'm
mense and varied cargo is still more
Illuminating. 1t reveals the fact that
cargo from points as far west as
Omaha, Minneapolis and Grand Rap
ids was going to the Pacific Coast by
way of the Panama Canal. These
shippers find it cheaper to send goods
to an Atlantic Coast port, through
the canal and up the Pacific Coast,
than to make the comparatively short
haul from Omaha or Grand Rapids to
a Pacific Coast point.
The Panama Canal traffic originat-
ing at Middle Western points is, OF
course, a relatively small amount, but
it is unquestionably a fact that the
canal is carrying a great amount and
variety of commodities from interior
points in the eastern United States to
the Pacific Coast.

have upon the business of the trans

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT

T<HERE has recently been issued
by the Chamber of Commerce
at Norfolk a report showing the
results of an investigation of various
city governments, especially with
view of finding out just how the COM
mission form has solved the problems
of the several municipalities that
have adopted or been compelled to
adopt this system of administration.
Norfolk was looking toward
simplifed and business form of gov
ernment and the investigations of the
charter commission were conducted
with a view to discovering the best in
all the municipal systems which were
studied AS a consequence of two
months OF careful study the commits
sion recommended a new charter, es-
pecially drawn for Norfolk and
adapted to that city's needs. Three
petitions were prepared for three diff
ferent forms of government under the
optional charter act and these petit
tions were circulated among the
people for signatures.
A subcommittee OF the Chamber Of
Commerce continued the investiea-
tions of the main charter commission
and its findings are of interest In view
of the adoption of the commission
form OF government in Harrisburg and
elsewhere in Pennsylvania. While the
commission form is regarded at Nor
folk as distinct improvement over
the old type there are very few who
express unqualified approval of it.
Most people seem to think that the
plan lacks administrative unity and
harmony; that conflicts of more or
less serious character between depart
ments are bound to arise Particular
attention is called to the fact that the
Legislature OF Iowa at its last session
enacted a law giving commission
governed cities of that State the right
to modify their plan by popular vote
80 as to provide for a city manager.
1t was discovered that Memphis had
a commission government of a certain
form which had existed since 1879,
the city having worked out a charter
for itself. With a strong and virile
mayor the conditions were reported as
admirable because of the team work

CONFUSING THE VOTERS

a S a result of the wave of reform
n hysteria that swept over Penn
sylvania some few years ago
there are on the statute books of the
Commonwealth quite number of laws
that ought never to have been written
and others good enough in their in
tentions that are so confusing as to be
worse than worthless.
Consider the so per cent. clauses of
the judicial and municipal acts of 1911
and 1913 respectively as amended by
the Legislature of the present year.
The attorney general has ruled three
ways in three different requests for
construction of the clause as it applies
to the Superior Court, in districts
where two or more judges are to be
elected and in districts where but one
judge is to be chosen. In two in
stances his Interpretation of the law
has been so unsatisfactory to certain
of the candidates that they have filed
suits in court in an attempt to reverse
his decision, and their arguments as
presented and without careful analy-
sis appear not without reason. go.
County Solicitor Oft has ruled in
quite another fashion on the so per
cent. clause as it applies to third
class cities and whether or not his
construction of law would stand in
court nobody knows. The more one
reads the acts in question the more
confused he becomes. If a careful
and painstaking effort had been made
language ambiguous and their provi-
sions uncertain the result could not
have been more confusing. Instead of
simplifying the process of voting these
laws have so complicated the selection
of judges and city officials that even
skilled lawyers are puzzled as to just
what the laws do provide in that re-
spect.
The whole situation is the result of
legislative frenzy for change-reform
is not the word-and of the meddling
of amateurs and theorists with things
they know little about. Some of these
days we will awake as a people to the
understanding that the fewer frills
and furbelows with which we decorate
our election laws the more easily it is
for the people to express their will.
The casting of the ballot was never
meant to be an elaborate ceremony.
The making of a complicated process
of what ought to be very simple act
is destined to defeat the very ends
which those who have been back of
recent efforts to amend the election
laws have heralded as their purpose.

TIME striking fact about Panama
Canal shipping during Its first
- year is that traffic between
American ports has been the biggest
part of it. The great waterway Is
primarily a new route for the domes-
tic commerce of the United States
But it is something far bigger and
more important than that. 1t is a
stimulus to American commerce in
American vessels which is doing more
to solve the veXed questions of our
diminishing merchant marine than
anything that has happened in CEN
tury.
These are the figures that tell the
story. During the first eight months
of the operation of the canal the
commerce carried from the Atlantic
coast ports of the United States to
those of the Pacific amounted in
round numbers to 46,0OO,OOO tons
That carried back from the west
coast to the east was 43,000,000 tons
The total foreign commerce passing
through the canal, both east and west
bound was only about 100000 tons
Significant is the fact that this COM
merce between the two coasts of the
United States includes almost all of
the commodities carried by the trans
continental railroads. Steel is the
leading article of west-bound COM
merce, with textiles, leather, wood,
copper and paper coming next. In
return for these things the Pacific
Coast ports have sent back canned
fruit and fish, lumber, wine, pineap-
pies sugar and ores.
These figures, however, give no idea
of the actual variety of the commerce
transacted between the two great

when energetic workers turn their
thoughts to church and charity enter

cult to find just what will be the most
