The Better City Government

Nearly a year and a half after installation of the commission manager system of municipal government Phoenix, the existence of it is Justi fled So far as The Republican concerned. there was from the outset to the present, no lack of confidence this form of government. We were aware that new machinery seldom works smoothly; we expected friction. Jars. and some lost have had all of them and now there seems O been proper adjustment of all parts.
 That the government is better today than ever before we think all will agree; is better poced: S greater for the public health. convenience and morals, public service in all direc lions is better and the cost being reduced, as a reference to comparative statement cover ing the expenses for July of this year and July of last year will show We find the net decrease of expenditures for July, 1915, to be $1Sz756. But that is only very small Iairt Of the whole story, expenditures for permanent improvements and betterments were considerably larger for July than they for the corresponding month of year ago. $1.OG0 spent for the improvement of the fire department; a new expenditure s1OO.65 made for milk inspection; nearly spent for repairs road ways There were many other increased addi- tional expenses the public good.
 The savings have been largely effected by tho consolidation of the dutIes of offices ani departments. Most of the attaches have to dc than they had before but do think that of them complaining of overwork and certainly of them working harder than they woJld be in positions paying the salaries private ernploN Their duties test their capabilities.
 The growth of the commission manager form usefulness will he continuous unless it should he by the injection of politics into sysenl and that will be constantly attempted for there are many ward politicians in Phoenix who given hope ot restoration of the oId regime. We recognize their efforts in the vicious criticism made from time to time of the government. It is the duty, therefore o' citizens who more for Phoenix than they do party politics stand by the government. The commission and the manager may make mistakes; they almost certainly will do But they striving for the best and they better attain i- with cooperation, honest and friendly criti- cisTn of the people whom they are trying to serve

"Tuscon in 1915"

The Arizona had it's with i to issue a fty-six-page edition in the middle of August ir this climate, but it did it with great credit to itself Tucson. It is the Tucson in 1915 edition tells everything about Tucson worth telling and that is a great deal. If it not succinctly told it would occupy more than ffty-siA pages.
 The edition deals with the Tucson of today. The past, and in America has a richer and more hallowed past is left almost untouched There are described public improvements, the new private improvements, the agricultural and in- dustral development, the splendid financial cond- ton, and the great climatic advantages.
 This edition, if given sufficiently wide circulation throughout the country, will do Tucson world of good and we think merchants and the business organizations will to that, for they occupy fery large place~in it.

PHOENIX BOY
 DIES IN FRANCE
 VICTIM OF WAR
Jasques Neyvatte, Former
 Republican Reporter,
 Member of French Avia- ton Corps, Was Killed Near Arras This Month.

Jacques Neyvatte, a former repor- ter for The Republican, while serv- ing in the aviation corps of the French army, was killed week before last in the vicinity of Arras. A telegram was received by his wife, who is employed at the Hotel Adams, from relatives of Neyvatte in France, informing her of his death.
 The dispatches at the time, men toned the death of the aviator but the name published was that of La vette so that the incident was not connected with him by his acquain- tances here. In fact it was not known here where he was

He said that he would re- turn shortly but he was not after ward heard from directly, though it was reported that through the French consul at Los Angeles he had ar ranged to return to France.
 Though a native of France he could not speak the French language. When young he was taken to Eng land where he was educated. He was an early aviation enthusiast and was licensed by the Aero Club of France in 1908. He came to this country and connected himself with Curtiss He was well known about HammondspOrt, N. Y, the Curtiss flying grounds. When Ebert Hub bard was last in Phoenix he remem- bered having met Neyvatte at Ham mondsport.
 He took part in aerial events in different parts of the country. "Nen Ralph Johnstone was killed at Dem yer Neyvatte was flying just above him as Johnstone lost control of his machine. Later he was injured about the head in a smash-up in Houston, Texas. He never recov- cred from the effect of it.
 Though an industrious newspaper man he was lacking in reliability. though that weakness was attrib
 uted to an cratic disposition. He was an encyclopedia on the subject of aviation. He knew how many aeroplanes every nation had and the progress each nation was making in aviation. He was informed as to all appropriations that had been made by every nation for aviation and he often spoke of the coming use of the aeroplane Tn war Tor scouting. ] He started a school of aviation in Phoenix and secured several pupils. He actually began the construction i of a machine and 'telegraphed for a motor of the latest type. He came 1 to imagine that he had completed l the machine though it was afterward disclosed that he had not. Those who were not familiar with his : weakness believed that the story of i his machine as a pure invention. 1 But there is little doubt that Ney- vatte believed that he had the ma | chine. l Previous to taking up aviation he 1 had led an adventurous life.
