MANAGING The CITY,.
W.-The Western Way.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

OKLAHOMA CITY, January Eff
you are an employer you know how
hard it is to fire any one and how much
harder to keep the pay roll from grow
ing al an alarming rate. To reduce and
keep down the pay rool of a city is just
about four times as hard. Yet that is
what the commissioners of Oklahoma
City have done, with a directness and
lack of ceremony which is very char
acteristic of that city.
At an early meeting of the new COM
mission one of the members moved
that the five clerks in the auditors Of
flee be reduced 10 three. Another one
wanted the seven clerks in the water
department reduced to four. So each
of the commissioners moved a reduc-
ton in his own department, and the
proposals were voted on in a bunch.
In twenty minutes the pay roll of Okla :
homa City was cut to half, and the
people were saved a good many thou
sand dollars year.
This actual economy in government is
Oklahoma Citys chief claim to distnc-
ton. and it is very considerable one.
In every commission government cam
paign economy, efficiently and honesty
have been held up as the blessings that
commission government would bring
In mot of the cities that have made the
change administrations have become
more efficient and more directly re-
sponsible to the people, but very few
OF them have actually saved money.
and still fewer have materially reduced
the number of city employees. The city
hail pie counter is too ancient an in
Stitution in American town life to he
easily uprooted. But Oklahoma City is
young and traditions are nothing to
her. She abolished the pie counter at a
swat.

Thin Persons Have the Best Chance

From London Ideas.

From London Ideas.
Recent investigations show that the
longest life and best health are not to
be found among those of average build
at any particular age. On the contrary.
it is discovered that in those at the
younger age who are slightly over
weight and at the older ages among
those who are distinctly under weight
the longest life and best health will he
found.
Overweight is above thirty-odd
years, definite disadvantage to
health. II means staleness, lack of
elasticity, clogged-up tissues, and lack
OF the power OF adaptability to invad-
ing germs 1t Is utter nonsense to ex-
cuse overweight by such phrases as
overweight die to muscular deyel-
opment. no excess fat present to ex-
plain overweight" The very fact that
there Is too much weight precludes any
escape from the facts of experience
A tall man may escape the penalties

Men from twenty to twenty-four
years of age can be accepted as

one-third more deaths among men be-

At the ages of thirty-four to forty

Her glance rested piteously upon the

From the Schenectady Gazette.

SCuentCtduy UdZette
The weather has been verv trying
of late, even in cities no larger than
this where the country is close by. 1t
may be imagined what it IA in the
great cities like New York where the
sitting walls of tenement houses shut
in suffering humanity in great num-
bers.
1t is knowledge of the suffering of
the children in the tenement districts
that leads those who realize how great
it is, to support the fresh air farms
scattered here and there over the coun-
try.
/. And if more realized what even two
weeks in the country means to these
children, as well as to their tired moth
ers. the support would be greater than
lit is.

This first commissioner of Oklahoma
City liked the lot where the tent saloon
stood, so he kicked the Missourian off
and took possession in the name of the
city The lot is now worth $4,000. and
the city derives a neat little income by
renting the lower floor of it's building.
That was in the good old days, but
the spirit of Oklahoma City has not
changed much. The commissioners OF
today have removed politics and idle
ness from the city hall in much the
same summary manner that the burly
first executive took possession of the
site.
