full expenditure and more accurate accounting
from both State and city governments, it Is
we'll that Richmond should take stand in
keeping with the general movement.
The commission form Of government was
AN advance over the old helter-skelter way Of
running American cities. Administrative
boards usually bring more careful and scien-
tifc management. Experimenters with city
governments then took further fight, and
introduced the commission manager. The
single head has succeeded in some places, no
tably in Staunton and Fredericksburg. In
Fredericksburg, especially, the inauguration
OF a city manager has worked wonders. The
town was fortunate enough to secure a man
of singular ability and energy. and he has
conducted the affairs of the ancient burg in
such a way that the public money goes twice
as far as 1t did formerly. Fredericksburg as
it is managed just now is an excellent field
for the consideration OF students of munici-
pal government.
With other and smaller cities in the State
improving their adminstra tons, it was up to
Richmond to fall in line. and the signs are
encouraging. The cost system is, we hope
the beginning OF a thoroughly economical and
efficient government for Richmond.

REGULATING THE FARMERS

TO the Editor OF The Times DIspatch:
Sir,-Your editorial in Fridays paper
referring to suggestion that farmers
be subjected to inQuisitorial and OPP
pressive legislation just to let them see
how IL works. and how II feels, and the
kind of Ia ste II leaves in the mouth, and
the appetite engendered and incentive
to enterprise-all this looks like a huge
joke. and such II Is just now. For the
present. at least. there will be no at
tack upon the farmers or small property
holders anywhere. because the votes Of
the farmers and OF the small property
holders are needed in conjunction with
the votes of nonproperty holders TO pas
laws TO govern the railroads and the
large corporations which have become
offensive to all who have less property,
such as farmers, preachers, teachers
la horers and more especially to the un-
employed and to all who do not possess
any property at all or not enough to
excite other peoples envy. But the
time Will come sooner or later when the
tenant elias OF this country and those
who own little or no real estate or
other property. become so numerous as
not to need the vote OF the farmer or,
OF any other landlord to enable them to
carry their points Just as the rail-
roads are now unpopular. and the large
corporations also. because they are con-
spicuous and shining examples Of ag-
SIeBdteu wealth.. or LtrIrt,. or 1Ccumu-
fatton. or management, or what not
still they sxcite our envy because they
show up more OF tho "all- coveted" than
we who have not got any, never had It,
or spent 1t all. can show. So we con-
clude that they have the stuff that
ought to be ours. and we don't care
whether they got 1t honestly or dis
honestly. The main point is that they
have got 1t and we have not and so
we will make them pay the fiddler any
way and let us do the dancing. Why?
Because We can, just because we can
cast majority vote. At present we
will use the farmers vote and that Of
the landlord class In country, town or
anywhere The time will come, by and
by, though, when We shall no longer
need any landlord, either big or little,
and then we shall he able TO turn our
political guns on our former friends, for
wo shall have votes enough without tho
landlords and tho farmers. Besides, the
landlords and the farmers have got
property that we shall want when the
right time conner. and We shall be able
to muster votes enough to regulate or
tax them out of business

But the pa tient lives OF the poor.

And the child-mnd choked with weeds.

From trophies OF mart and stage.
