THE MUNICIPAL
CODE COMMISSION
Drafts Bill, Which is Submitted to
the Legislature, Allowing Cities
bill introduced by request of Dele.
to Change Charters Easily.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Feb. 10
While not going into the subject as
deeply and as thoroughly as the mu-
nicipal code drafted by the Munich
pal Code Commission few years ago,
gate Smith, of Tyler county, does
lodge in cities the power to make
amend, add to and replace their char
tiers, when such cities have over g.
600 population, relieving the legisla-
ture OF a class of Legislation which
has been exceedingly burdensome and
expensive at this and other sessions.
The bill enables any city Of the
required population to formulate their
own charter without bothering the
legislature or to change it's charter,
as long as the charter SO adopted does
not conflict with the organic law and
the statutes of the state
Proposals for charter conventions
are to be submitted by the councils
or other legislative bodies of cities
to vote Of the people at either gen.
EA"A W oPCNi'l CiCNtlouS upOu pell-
tons Of twenty per cent of the total
vote Tor governor and the last gen
eral election. Whenever at any gen
eral or special election the proposal
Tor charter convention is carried an
other election is to be held at which
twenty-one taxpayers Of five years
residence are to be elected to cOnsti-
tute charter convention to frame a
charter. After such a charter has
been framed, it must be submitted to
the voters Of the city for their ratif-
cation or rejection. Amendments to
such charter may be submitted to the
voters upon petition of twenty per
cent of the votes for governor.
The bill sets forth that it is the
intention Of the measure to grant and
confirm to the people Of all munich
palities coming within it's provisions
the full right of self-government in
local and municipal affairs
So far the bill has not advanced be-
cause it is out Of harmony with the
spirit of the present legislature as
indicated in the Williamson charter
which goes to the other extreme in
lodging the government in the hands
Of the governor.

else as for eXaggeration or dema-
gogy. am referring specifically now
to the billboard sign painted by The
Daily News in all parts of Chicago.
The sign reads:
ANY man who wants work can
get it by putting want ad in The
Daily News
''Mr. Lawson or any of his editorial
attaches would be willing to con-
cede that this advertisement is a
falsehood. Thousands of men are
chasing after hundreds of jobs. Thou
sands must fail each day to get jobs.
There is only a certain number of
jobs to be had. When those jobs are
dealt out and there are no more jobs
available in the community, then
every man who hasn't one must do
without work, and neither The Daily
News nor any other power can help
him.
81 am told there are about 100000
men out of work in Chicago now.
Victor Lawson's billboard sign says
that all of these 100000 will get work
if they only advertise in his news
paper. What an easy solution for the
tragic problem of unemployment"
This is part of Chairman Walsh's
speech that made the News howl:
Poverty comes because men do
not receive the full product of their
toll The government ought to take
back the land which has been taken
by fraud This is not cOnfiscatiOn.
Every great fortune is a fundamental
wrong. He who gives bOuntifully to
the poor must first have robbed them
a-plenty. Every man with fortune
must at some time have crossed the
line of ethics and of criminal law"

to the support of the Survey, whose
editor, Paul U. kellogg, was attacked
by Chairman Walsh as having been
