Roger williams and his religious tolerance

be metcd out TO certain modern rctormerH.
Doctor Taft explained at length the debts
which our generation owes to the Pilgrims

X|ES, the motor truck is necessity,
and the progressive business man of
today has already purchased motor

But it is not question of any motor

Above all, the motor truck owner

Hon. Theodore A. Craig, CITY Solicitor,
Spoke to Members of the Civic
League Yesterday
on This
QUESTIONS ASKED
That Women Are Taking Much In
terest in Government, Shown
by Queries Propounded
to Mr.. Craig.

Theodore A. Craig, city solicitor,
was the principal speaker at the
Civic league on Saturday afternoon
having for a subject The Commits
sion Form Of Government" He spoke
in a very direct way and held the
closest attention of the audience. In
the beginning he explained in a gen
eral way the differences between the
government in a chartered city and
one under the commission form.
Three advantages OF the commission
form were given-f1rst, the power to
fix responsibility; second, the plan
provides for the affairs Of the city to
be conducted in a business like, ex-
peditious way, and third, that the
otncers are elected at large from the
city, representing the city as a whole
rather than as wards. He contrasted
the old method of nomination at con
ventions of the different political par
ties with the present direct nomina-
ton by primary election. He num
Grated the Ave departments in city
government and explained that the
council as a whole serves as a check
on the action Of the heads of depart
ments.
Mr.. Craig spoke Of the advantages
coming from having the police and
men of the fire department under
civil service. He explained the
powers of initiative and referendum
and the recall. He said In conclu-
sion that the people have great power
to control the legislation of the COM
m~issioners under the present form of
city government, but said that it
makes no difference what form the
machinery Of city government follow
ed a chartered city, a commission
form of government after the Dayton
plan, in the last analysis it was the
efficiency Of the men at the head of
