COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.

Over in Chattanooga the peopl
are in the throes of bitter munich
pal campaign. Commission govern
ment has been in effect in Chattanoo
ga for four years 1t was hailed
there as the panacea for all ills Of
municipal government, but it has not
been altogether the unparalleled sue
cess that its advocates expected
There is no doubt that Chattanooga
has had better and more efficient
government under the commission
system than it had under the old
ward plan, but after all the expert
ence of this city as of every other
city that has tried the plan, shows
that more depends upon the charac-
ter of the men who administer gov
eminent than upon the system under
which they operate.
Commission government has made
no very notable improvement in the
administration Of affairs in Nashville.
1t certainly, judging from the clamor
for bond issues. has not proven a
very great economical advantage to
the taxpayers. The city seems to
have spent, even under commission
government, more than its income.
That is never good thing for city
or state or county unless the ex-
cess expenditure is invested in per
manent betterments. Chattanooga's
commission has not been altogether
successful because there has been a /
lack of harmony among the members.
But government in Chattanooga has
probably been, on the whole, more
efficient and less extravagant than 1t
has been in any of the cities OF the
state. Under the Crump administra.
ion the tax rate In Memphis has
been reduced and aside from a fla.
grant failure to enforce certain laws,
commission government in the city
~ the bluffs appears to have been
more successful than in any other
of the state. But gov
in Memphis in the past has
been more extravagant,
1ore corrupt and more inefficient
han 1t has ever been in Nashville
r Chattanooga The success of the
commission system down there is due
lore to the executive ability of the
ian who owns the city government I
han 1t Is to the plan itself
II the people Of any city or coun-
? or state really desire efficient and
government they must
lect servants to administer their af-
Hrs who are possessed OF high or
or Of executive ability, who are cour-
seous, honest and efficient The
orst old ward system is an improve
ent on the commission plan II the
rmer is administered by high class y
hcials while the latter is under the
rection and control of mediocre, In
hcient or corrupt politicians.

THE DECLINE OF WEATHER
SUPERSTITION

The traditional annual exit CT the
grounding on February 2, 90 forecast
the weather for the next six weeks.
is one OF the last OF the pretty and
picturesque old superstitionq. Vt
dates from a time when the weather
was one of the largest subjects of hui
man interest.
Life in the old time country was
passive, philosophic and coLtempNat-
i've. In the common slang phrase,
there was nothing doing" In the
sky, though, there was thrilling bat
ties between conflicting forces of
storm and sunshine. 1t was natural
that to the people Of the more rc-
mote country, these formed IA ao-
sorbing subject, like ball games and
politics today.
Also rural interests are closely al
lied to weather. A good rain is
worth MILLIONS OF dollars In single
state.
The old time countryman was skill.
full in reading the heavens. But his
forecasts were OF short range. Hence
It was natural that rura! wiseacres
have TIED to predict weather by hun
dreds of traditional indications Of
which the ground hog sign is possibly
the best known.
In the town life of today the wea-
Their Is OF minor Importance Its dis
comforts are minimized by suitable
clothing and good walks. Most leo
pie think of the weather only as II
means personal comfort or discou'-
fort. A rain may be relieving labor
and positive distress and cheapening
food. But II 1t causes little inter
ruption of plans or makes one feel
uncomfortable, the townsman grows.
The newspapers, feeling the quaint
ness of the old groundhcs and other
superstitions, do their best to keep
them alive as a pretty survival OF
old time country life. But the town
bred young folks scarcely know what
grounding Is.

WILL TAKE NEW POSITION
Professor Hinekley to Take Official
Charge Of State lndustriay
School

Ogden, Jan. 29.-Professor e. 8.
Hinckley. formerly dean Of the Brig
ham Young College at Provo. will
take official charge Of his duties as
superintendent OF the Utah Industrial
school next Monday. This is the In
formation received by local members
Of the board Of trustees today, The
new superintendent will move his
family to Ogden next Sunday.
When Professor Hinckley was ask
ed by the board on January 81 to sue.
coed DR.. e. G.. Gowans In charge Of
the State institution, he announced
that 1t would be necessary for him
to complete the first semester work
at the Provo college. The conces-
sion was granted, for the state school
had been placed In the hands Of Ed
NJ. Rowe, state parole officer. The
semester work was completed last
Friday.
The question OF filling the position
OF parole officer at the Industrial
school after Professor Hinckley takes
charge has not been definitely set
tied. Mr.. Rowe has not fully decid-
ed to resume his old duties and there
has not been a regular meeting Of
the trustees since the appointment
OF DR.. Gowans' successor.

causes of fires. You ask the owner
Of burned building as to how the
blaze started, and commonly he says
he has no idea. II he had his insur-
an:e money In his pocket, he would
often have a clearer notion of 1t.
This Is not because any large pro-
portion Of owners set fires. Merely
they both dislike to incur blame from
insurance companies, and do not want
a public reputation for carelessness
One OF the most frequent causes of
fires is the habit OF throwing lighted
matches into waste baskets. Wood
boxes, also, often used as spittoons,
filled with sawdust, are a universal
receptacle for matches. A spark OF
fire viii d 'op into this material and
shoulder unnotlced for hours until
a business building Is closed for the
night. Later it breaks into flame.
People seem to think that because
fire losses are covered with insurance
they do not cost much. Insurance
rates are increasing. They consti-
tute heavy tax on business. In
many places farmers can not get
protection because rates are so high

hazardous as in the case Of Mrs.
OLeary and her more or less myth

THE GlST OF THE
IMMIGRATION QUESTION

The immigration Commission ere.
ated by Congress In 1907, spent near.
ly four years and more than $780,
900 in making a study of the immigra-
ton situation. Unlike many of its
predecessors and SUCCESSORS in the
field OF government investigation
this commission did not seek opinions
but facts, for its agents made first
hand inquiry concerning labor con-
ditions in practically all the great
immigrant eTplo Wing industries. The
commissions report to Congress son.

ing sentence:
The investigations Of the commits

ed labor In basic industries to an
extent which indicates an oversup-
ply OF unskilled labor In the indus
tries OF the country as whole,
condition which demands legisla-
tion restricting the further admis-
sion of such unskilled labor.
Having reached the above conclu-
sion unanimously the commission set
about finding the best means of re.
striCting the further admission of
such unskilled labor" and after con-
sidering several proposed plans eight
of the nine members united In recon-
mending the literacy test as the

three members of the House, end
three appointees of President Roose-
welt. Among them were restrictions

significant that after long inquiry
into the effect OF living and labor
conditions among our industrial work
ers. all of them became restriction
lists.
Since the commissions report vas

THE CAUSES
OF FIRES

Mrs. Maggie OLeary. who died a
few years ago at Escanaba, Michigan,
is declared by her neighbors to have
been the Mrs. OLeary whose COW
was said to have kicked over lamp,
thereby starting the great Chicago
fire of 1871. Mrs. OLeary denied
that she or her COW could be held re-
sponsible, although she acknowledge
ed that the blaze started in her COW
shed.
Whether or not this traditional le-
gend be accepted as authentic, 1t re-
mains true that great fires start thus
from some very trihing and needless
cause, 1t is the belief of many
newspaper reporters, that there is

best possible condition on rea :hing

plies to cattle. The second is that
railroads shipping sheep from Ari-
iona to California points must permit
of double deck loading and charge
a rate for each car equal to the
freight rate on a carload OF cattle.
Heretofore, according to Mr.. Nc
Clure, railroads limited sheep ship

curing more cars. The decision of
the interstate commerce commission
according to Mr.. Mcclure will eff
