III We Had a City Manager
In Detroit Right Now, We
Could Fire Him In a Jiffy
More than 40 cities of the United States
now boast a city manager, being under

ean be discharged at any time that the
eommission considers them incompetent.
The commission itself is small, varying
n numbers in different places, the small
oE commission having proved most sat-
lI2actory.
This would seem to be return to the
"a autocratic idea of placing the power
I y the hands Of the few, a condition
4 witch democracy was at pains to abolish.
On the contrary, it has operated to
bring the people into closer touch with
thsir city government, by placing the re-
co6msibility where it can be easiy traced.
The great safeguard and new principle
N 16 this reversion to earlier days, is the
recall, which gives to the people the

4Gnmission can do to the manager.
Although this form of government has
Saly hesn used In small cities in the
Qhited States thus far, 1t is in operation
q European cities of large proportions.
II Detroit could have five, seven or ten
tusn chosen freely by the people from
among her best citizens;
II these citizens were public-spirited
enough to accept the honor;
~ II the commission thus formed could
Sring to its aid a thoroly efficient busi-
ness man to carry out on modern basis
the affairs of the city, as decided upon
by the commission, the people would soon
make up their minds as to whether it
was we'll or badly done.
It could call to account its small execu-
tive body, and, if conditions did not i'm
prove, could put it out of Office.
In Germany the city manager is edu-
Gated for the position and the universi-
tjes of Michigan and Texas, seeing the
coming need, have arranged such a
course.
From all the cities where this form Of
government has been tried, saving of

ical reforms
There the number of employees has
ben greatly reduced, floating debts have
been paid and the habit of borrowing
money for current expenses has been
largely discontinued
Politics in the accepted sense of the
term ia not "in it."
The city manager is proud to assert that
he does not know the politics of any of
the men under him and disclaims that
Ary political pressure could be brought
TO bear to coerce him in his appoint

This would seem to SAVIOR of the milen-

"Our clothes are to be conserve

Ice Mans Turn Coming.
Indianapolis News.D

According to Herbert DePrez, pres ident of the Indiana Ice Dealers &s- sociation, which meets in Indian apols this week the ice mon are anX- ious to come to a better understand ing with the public. He admits that the dealers are largely to blame for the present unsatisfactory attitude of the people, and contends that what is needed is campaign of publicity that will acauaint persons who know noth- ing of the hazards of the business with the fact that in reality there is such constant danger of loss that the present prices are not cxorbltant He asserts also that because 1t seems to be the simplest thing in the world to make ice out of water many persons undertake to do it, with the result that connection is very keen. No doubt he is right in several respects. The people charge the ice man with rais ing the price of what has come to be a summer necessity at the time when it is most needed. This he does, and the people do not like it. It is hardly expected that they would. They argue that ice should be mAnufac- tured in large quantities more cheaply than in small, and that the greater the uGlldnu Llle SIlldtlCI SuOull DS LIc price. They forget, of course, that a large part of the cost of ice should not bo charged to it's manufacture. but to it's delivery, and that this is not greatly affected by the amount de- livered. This is the thing the ice mau should make plain. He might even go so far as to furnish actual figures. This would convince consumers that he is telling the truth about price boosting during the hot weather. MT. DePrez is right in saying "the public is fair It is fair, but it wants to be met half way.
