the people of a community as IN ad-
m~inistrator. In this way the manager
seems to embody. and so far as admin
istration is concerned does embody,
the idea of greater concentration of au-
authority has nothing to do with
changes in policy. and that the com
mission which employs the manager is
itself subject to the recall, or its legis-
lative policy subject to the initiative
and referendum, the people are able TO
understand that while they are getting
greater efficiency of administration
they thus remain in constant control
OF their government.

CREATED A F"RANkENSTEIN

The Berlin correspondent Of the New
York World reports that when he and
a German officer were watching the
fearful destruction wrought by the
the officer turned to him and said.
Mar has created IA Frankenstein
which has risen up to destroy him"
1t is literally true. And seemingly
the end of this war is not to be the end
of the death-dealing process. The
Westminster Gazette ~fortells that
Britain will keep armed on land and
sea indefinitely, if German militarism
is not broken during the present con
flict. And a Russian general. writing
in the same spirit. observes that the
Russian army of the future will be
10000, 900 strong, if the menace of mill
tarism is not removed by the Allies in
this contest.
An army of 10000, 900 men! This ar
my, General S~kugareyski observes, will
be composed of 100000 trained Off
GERS; twenty-five to thirty million in
fantry; one or two million cavalry;
five million artillery; a million sap
pers and technical experts; and five
millions for rear post duty. This
army will cost the government, when
in the field. 81, 200, 900 900 a day. 1t will
possess a hundred thousand guns, a
million maxims, tens of thousands of
motor cars, thousands of aeroplanes.
The only alternative to this gloomy
prospect for hardening mankind to the
Marian yoke until the race is ex.
terminated is international agreements
Cor the limitation of ornaments and
Cor the common policing of the seas
and outlaw nations. Such is General
Skugarevski's view. Such is the opin-
ion of other great thinkers of this gen.
Grafton. 1t is to be either universal
disarmament, or-man will be destroy
ed by the F~rankenstein which he him
self raised up.

HOMELESS PEOPLE IN CITY

People of Brookings will not find it
so bad since the Cottage Hotel has
been re-opened by Mr.. Mingus. He
has remodeled and decorated inside,
making 1t comfortable and homelike.
Mr.. Mingus say the only way bust
ness men can expect a city to have
good hotels is to get the habit pre-
valent in most cities of giving the
ladies a rest on Sunday and take their
dinner at the hotel. 1t ave a lot of
work and helps the hotel man to give
the city a good hotel.

MUNICIPAL EFFICIENCY


Daily Argus Leader:-ln the search
for increased efficiency in public af-
fairs, over $50 municipalities in the
United States have adopted the com
mission plan of city government, the
commission-manager, the limited coun-
Gil or variations of these forms, accord
ing to an article by Charles f. Taylor,
editor of Equity, which has recently
made an exhaustive review of the
whole problem Of city government. Ed
win S. Potter, associate editor of
Equity, has made a very interesting
digest of the findings Of Equity, for the
better illumination of a problem which
American cities are trying hard to
solve.
The underlying basis of the new
movement is the concentration of Off
cial authority and responsibility. The
growth of this idea is shown in the
movement now on in South Dakota to
carry the same idea into state affairs.
to abolish the large Legislature and to
put in its place a compact body of
twelve men-one from each judicial
district-which body would enact few
er and saner laws and give us better
government at much less cost. South
Dakota probably will not install such
a government for several years to
come. but a most encouraging sign is
the h%ospitable reception given the idea
by the people.
In thirty-four states there are now
general statutes authorizing cities to
adopt new and improved forms Of gov
eminent, the commission form being
specially provided for in twenty-seven
tive in one respect or another, and the
comparative analysis presented by
Equity furnishes the basis for legis-
.lative action by the forty-one states
in which legislatures are to meet in
1917.
A QUESTIONABLE was sent broadcast to
municipal officials and others in all
these cities and also to various state
officials and legislative reference bu-
reaus calling for the facts of exper-
fence and also concerning the existing
state laws and constitutional provis-
-. - uI.nl 4I, VI fny,,1C a rn OF
thoriZed.
Signed reports have been received
bv Equity from 449 municipalities fur
nishing a body Of facts from all sec
tions of the country. The facts are
almost all in the direction of greater
efficiency Of administration as a re-
suit of the concentration Of powers in
small bodies Of officials elected to rep
resent the entire community, and each
member of which is wholly response
BILE for a definite share or department
of the government. The reports invar-
iably testify to the important improve
ments obtained for the community to-
gether with numerous and striking
economies.
One of the most noticeable features
disclosed by the investigation is the
trend toward the manager idea, over
ninety municipalities having moved in
this direction. But wherever the COM
mission-nanager plan is adopted all
the greater need is felt for the powers
Of direct popular control. While it is
true that the commission remains the
policy-determining body and is held di.
rectly responsible to the voters for
the success or failure of a given ad-
m~inistration. still 1t is found in prac-
tice that q successful manager must
come into pretty close contact with
