ANOTHER GOOD REFORM BILL.
rCedar Rapids Republican,

JCeQar ELapluS
Messrs Ring and Barry, who repre-
sent Linn county in the legislature
have each one good bill to his credit:
Mr.. Barrys bill for the supervision OF
state printing. editing and stun down
to about one half OF the present bulky
volumes has already been commented
on in detail in these columns. It is cas-
lily one of the best Of the retrenchments
and reform bills and 1t will put an end
to perpetual charges against that de-
partment of the state government Mi.
Rings bill is for the establishment OF
state budget system. This is the IDEA
that Mr. Taft tried to apply to national
finances and that with good results,
but when Mr.. Wilson came in 1t was
abandoned and the usual haphazard
way Of spending money was followed,
with results that have been the most
disastrous in our national finances.
Without estimates to guide them
which a budget system implIes-they
kept on spending until they exceeded
by s100,000,000 the record OF any other
congress and by over s200,000,00G the
record Of last congress entirely IN the
control OF the republicans.
The government that spends ana
appropriateS without estimates OF IN
comes and outgoes is like the man
who spends carelessly out OF his
pocket until it is emptied. or the
woman who draws checks on her bank
as long as there are blank pages in
her check book. Before legislature
or congress begins to appropriate
there ought to be filed estimates of
what it will cost to run the different
departments and these estimates ought
to be verified, examined and pared
down wherever possible and consist
ent with the public service and where
it is necessary TO fit the amounts OF
money available. This is the business
like wa yand the only way and it is a
matter of congratulation that the Iowa
legislature is making progress in that
direction.

CITY MANAGER PLAN.
mason City Times


The legislature will undoubtedly
adopt the measure suggested by Wa
terloo boosters which provides for
city manager for cities that desire to
provide one business head for the
business of the incorporation. The
two houses are practically agreed on
the general plan. A city manager is
the best system for a city provided
sufficient safeguards are placed about
the selection. The details Of the Wa
terloo plan have not been published
and it is impossible at this time to
give the provisions. 1t may be pre-
sumed, however that the advocates
of the measure and the members OF
the legislature viii see that the body
charged with the responsibility OF
choosing the manager will be repre-
sentative Of the people Of community
and that they will divorce politics and
favoritism from their deliberations.
When a bank or other corporation has
a cashier or other official to select the
board Of directors avoid politics In
making the selection. The CO. opera
tive society at Rockwell does not re-
sort to politics in electing manager
for their great organization. The
society hunted for the man. In giving
the history Of creameries in Iowa,
speakers at the national convention OF
buttermakers at Mason City last week
recounted the failures during the early
DAYS of the creameries because the or
CARNATIONS had the idea that anybody
could run a ALTERNATING establish
ment, The creamery commenced TO
amount to something only when ex-
merits were chosen as managers City

At meeting Of the Board Of Health
yesterday afternoon. the members Of
the board authorized Secretary J.
Austin Ellison 10 prepare new bids
for the collection and disposal Of the

bids ready for advertising within a
few days. Outside Of THE business
routine matters took up the time OF
the meeting.
The reason for the action Of the
board in the matter is the inability
of the American Reduction Works to
give a satisfactory bond for the fur
nishing Of proper carts and also that
n was announced that the company
likely would go into the hands Of a
receiver. Recently City Solicitor
Daniel o. Hastings gave the opinion
that the American Reduction Com

WASHINGTON. Oct t2.-Specula-

of the Presidents wedding to Mrs.

Today's only intimation on the sub
iect was a direct one from the White

ment would be made in due time.
Whether this will be soon can not be
said. But to put an end to wild ru-
mors-one that Mrs. Gait and the
President already had actually been
married the announcement was
made.
