to elect the president of the council,
are good ones. 1 am not in favor of
electing so many heads Of depart
ments, so many officers. It's too
much politics. If we select men who
are practically standing ready to give
their services to the city, we are going
to get good men, and from that num-
Der select one for mayor, then it is
best for the city. This method prac-
tically eliminates politics"
VIM. Fisher:
''The greatest efficiency In detail
matters and the executive end of the
city government can be obtained by
putting the responsibility and author
ity as near as possible on one capable
man. To safeguard the rights of the
people however, It is necessary to put
check on the authority of any one
man, to guard against his abuse of
authority. In my opinion, the pro-
posed charter, giving large authority
to the mayor without red tape, and
at the same time separating the leg
islative functions of the city govern
ment and putting them in the hands
of the aldermen who are to serve
without pay, and also giving these
aldermen the right to check any abuse
of power by the mayor, as we'll as to
remove him for failure to perform his
duty furnishes the most efficient form
of government that can be provided
and at the same time conserves the
rights of the people and protects them
against the CONTINGENCY of having an
unfit man in its office as mayor. In
other words, good mayor has ample
authority to run the city we'll but he
cannot abuse his authority, or use his
Office to the damage of the city on ac-
count Of the control over him which
shall be exercised by the council."

GAN NOT DRAW PAY
As P.O. EMPLOYEES
AND SOLDIERS TOO

An employee Of the postUffice de-
partment who Is enlisted IN the state
militia cannot receive pay for the time
when he is absent from his duties,
but may resume his position upon his
return from the border or concentra-
ton camp, according TO letter re-
Gently issued to all postmasters by
Postmaster General A. S. Burleson.
The decision of the postmaster gem
eral settles a misunderstanding be-
tween the postofice department and
some Of its employees which was
caused by the mobilization of state
troops, in June. Many of the em-
ployees claimed that while they were
absent on military duty their salary
in the postoffice continued. This it
was stated, was not the intention of
the department, it being merely the
purpose to hold the positions open
for the men until they returned.
The following letter from Postmas-
ter General Burleson clears the sit
uation:
Because of misleading statements
appearing in certain newspapers re-
garding the statue of those postal en-
ployees who are now in the military
service of the United States, post

GERS in the postal service viii cali to
the attention of the employees under
their supervision, who are now IN the
military service of the United States,

al's order No. 97A7, of June 26s 1915,
and again advise them that every pos
tai employee, Immediately upon his
discharge from the military service
win be assigned to the position held
by him at the time he left the postal
service to enter the military service,
and that such assignment to duty viii
be made at his former salary without
awaiting the formal approval of the
postCfice department. / desire that
not only the postal employees them
selves but also that their families un-
derstand that the employees are not
to suffer the loss of their positions
because of having been called into the
military service of their country.

the government, out of politics, as far
as possible. The election of the mayor
by the board of aldermen takes that
office out of politics, and leaves the
executive free and unhampered to
execute the duties of his office. The
charter board carefully investigated
various charters and reviewed close
ly the actual working of the govern
nent in several cities. Aside from
this the board consulted authorities
on municipal government and believes
that the charter that it now submits
fulfills all requirements necessary to
govern city,"
G. M. Sweeney said:
CT cannot help but believe that the
charter is all right. The strongest
/ point is that the mayor has a check
on him, and if he does not do right,
he may be put out. That has not
been possible in the past. You know
how hard it is to get man out who
may be elected by the voters at large.
You have seen this thing tried out in
the past, where even subordinate Off
GERS have given not the twist of their
finger for even the mayor. Then,
another thing, the mayor will be re-
sponsible for heads of departments
and they will be responsible to him.
That will mean more satisfaction In
the service. AS it is now, and has
been in the past, heads of departments
are required to take on and work men
with whom they are not in harmony
which is not pleasant. Yes, the
charter, in its present form, is, be-
ieve, all right"
G. H. Muller, Jr., said:
at will have to be admitted that
in the selection of mayor from the
, body of the council, and by the coun'
cilmen, one thing has been done. Il
means that reasonable responsible
; ity has been fixed. AS it is now, anc
the people know it, there is no fixed
responsibility-no one in the city
! building is so that responsibility car
be fixed for things, and this is com
ing to light every day. With a mayor
directly under the supervision and di
rection of the council, we will have

MISSOURPS CONSTITUTIONS

During Missouri's ninety-five years
of statehood, she has had three con-
stitutions. The first, adopted in 1920,
failed in the 4O's, but in 1916 the
people failed to ratify one submitted,
SO the worn-out one was used until
1865.
November 80, 1875, the third consti-
tuition was ratified by vote of 81 ,205 to
14.517. Everyone seemed to want some
new order to check the old. Grants to
railroads and various wildcat schemes
of the reconstruction period demand
ed a peculiarly strict restriction to
progress.
We got it. Now that we want to
progress again we find that we can
not. Seventy-four times in thirty
eight years we have tried to amend
the constitution-thirt nine times in
eight years-but the old constitution
itself repels attempts to improve it.
1t has been amended four times since
1902 and not once since 1908.
