this seems a convenient and fitting
time for suchc conference, therefore

former governors, mayors ana county
commissioners to meet at Topeka, De

biggest business men and forward
looking citizens who have been marx
edly Interested in promoting efilcient
government to go over the Whol~
question with the commission. We
cannot considor too many ideas ana
suggestions before embarking on any
final plan Of procedure. The most
urgent duty before the people and
their administration is the ending OF
tho wicked waste of public money that
is inevitable uuder the present cum
bersome antiQuated, over manned,
office rotating political system by
which we vote green, ineNperienced
men into office and turn them out as
fast as they blunder into any kind OF
usefulness.
Real government, / believe, Is on
the way, with expert management o'
all publicc affnirs solely in the inter
est OF the people With responsibility
and authority centered in a few direc-
tors chosen by the people and re-
sponsiblc to them, these directors Will
employ men trained and fitted for the
work required oe them, just as big

VIII Likely Be Passed.

To better cope with the traffic situa-
fion on Second Avenue orders have
been issued to the police to instruct al!
automobile drivers to park their cars
on the side streets intersecting with
the main thoroughfare in the loop.
Commissioner Liedtke took this
step yesterday as a result of the con-
gested condition of Second avenue.
Never before in the history of Rock
Island has there been the steady
stream of machines passing east and
west on the main thoroughfares as
within the last month.
Municipal authorities advise people
who own automobiles, and who in
tend to leave their machines for five
minutes or more, to place them in
Market square Seventeenth street
near Second avenue is wide and an
excellent parking place is provided at
a point near where the old scales sta
ton stood.
City officials have found that there
exists an ordinance which provides
that machines shall be parked on the
side streets. The ordinance is remote
but will serve the purpose until such
time as the commission adopts new
measure, which action is now being
contemplated.
