league, as one of the principal speak
erS.
This plan is modification of the
theory suggested recently that the
Nonpartisans would bring q big lobby
of farmers to Bismarck. 1t is not to be
understood, of course, that the district
or county meetings already called,
| take the place of the once proposed
big lobby in Bismarck. but they are
| the means through which the league
will carry its fight back to the farm
ers.
All is not harmony among the OPP
position to the league program. State
Senator McBride's bill for a con con
hasn't proved acceptable to the sem
ate as a whole. and it's introduction
was a complete surprise.
However, montague members Of
the senate do not anticipate any
breach because Of the unexpected de-
velopment
Each day sees some new features
injected into the constitutional con-
vention discussion, and by the time
the leagues measure is finally intro
duced, the lines will be pretty we'll
drawn.
1t is now stated that the leagues
measure has the support of 49, men,
hers of the house, as indicated in the
pledge list that has been circulated by
Representative G. p. Peterson. of
Towner county.
If the legislature has an adjourn
ment next week as has been proposed,
the bill would have to be introduced
within a day or two If the leaguers
expect much progress prior to the
time of the suggested recess.
That the Nonpartisan caucus may |
be opened within a short time, was |
indicated by Speaker Howard Wood |
and Clerk of the House A. E. Bowen. |
They said last evening that plan for |
opening the caucus at certain times |
was being discussed more or less |
among the league folks.
Up to this time, the caucus has been |
entirely secret, except for announce |
ments forthcoming at the conclusion |
of each meeting.

CITY MANAGER FORM
OF GOVERNMENT IS In
EFFECT In SAN DIEGO
Diego Union

San Diego is one of ninety two
cities of the United States to adopt
the city manager form Of government,
and it is now generally conceded by
the majority of taxpayers that this
system offers more for the amount OF
money expended than has been OBJ
tanned from any other.
Under the straight commission form
OF government the elected officers are
required to be interpreters of public
opinion, as well as heads Of certain
administrative departments. While
the newly elected commissioners are
trying to master the details of the
administrative end of the Office it is
impossible for them to give to ques-
tions of policy the attention essential
to good business. The result is the
appointment of numerous subordinates
necessary to fulfill the policies of the
commissioners. On the other hand,
the managerial form of government
places the responsibility of an econo-
mical administration Of the policies

outlined by the commissioners on one
head, and offers the chance of gov
eminent more simple, economical and
efficient.
Partial Manager Plan Prevails.
While the city manager scheme of
government has many advantages
over the old method of running a
city's business. there is ample room
for improvement in the system as
established in San Diego, where only
partial manager form prevails.
The scheme as adopted in this city
embraces the bureaus of street, wa
ter, sewer, building, gas and cleo
trical, harbor, engineering, public
buildings, pueblo lands, and, since
bureau, all of which are combined
in one department known as the OPP
Grating department. The plan OF
handling the affairs of this city along
business lines has been thoroughly
tried out this year in the operating
department, and the result shows
well from an economical standpoint.
Politics plays no part in the af-
fairs of the operating department,
efficiency and businesslike ability
to get the best results obtainable
with the funds apportioned to the
department being the objects fore
most in mind. The past year has
been particularly hard one for ev-
erybody and too much credit cannot
be given to the superintendent Of
the different bureaus. nor to each
individual employee for the loyal and
untiring service given by them DUR
ing the stress of the first of the year
when the floods of January not only
called forth unprecedented Efforts
from them, but added thousands of
dollars to the yearly expenditure, for
the purpose Of repairing the dam
age.
Offices Consolidated.

clerks in 4he Office for the interest

ing. All bookkeeping for the de-
partment is done by one man; one
cashier, with one assistant, handles
the receipts of the operating de-
partment, which, in a years time,
amount of approximately 100000.
These receipts are not, as is the pop
ular belief, used for the maintenance
of the operating department, but are
placed to the credit of the general
fund of the city. With the acquisi-
tion of the purchasing bureau, in
June, a still further consolidation Of
offices and labor was accomplished.
Aside from the attendant reduction
of expense accomplished by this
move, improved facilities for MAX
ing purchases are now available, with
no impairment of efficiency.
A report is turned in each month
by the head of each bureau covering
the work accomplished under his di-
rection during the month. These re-
ports in turn are compiled into one
general monthly report giving in de ,
tail the amount of labor and mater
ial and the cost thereof, of each joo:
and a smaller report, with less de-
tail, is mailed out to those persons
who evince an interest in the affairs
of the department. 1t is a pleasure
to note that our mailing list is In

liGuor Delivery.
Under the provisions of the liquor
dehvefy act, q complete record Of
every shipment of liquor would be
maintained by the railroads.
The first section of the act makes it
unlawful for any person, firm or cor
poratfon to have in its possession any
package or container of liquor unless

is to enforce the laws, or any person
authorized in writing by such officers,
and the place Of delivery Of such
| liquor shall be held to be the place of

The record of delivery and affidavit
required would make it necessary for
the conslgnee to file an affidavit with
| the transportation agency, showing
that the consignee is over FL years
old, and that the liquor is intended
for his personal or immediate family
use. 1t also provides that the con-
slgnee will not give away or sell in
violation of this act or any law of the
state"
And in addition thereto. an identi-
ication affidavit is prescribed, the
same to be attached to the main affi-
davit.
The person making delivery would
be compelled to take the oath of the
consignee and the identifier.
1t is made the duty of the attorney

On the previous occasion the President gave as one of his reasons for disapproving the measure the fact that 1t prevented polit- icai refugees OF anarchists from landing
 on American shores. He stated that had this statute been in effect years ago the revolutionary fathers could not have entered the country, In the current bill we remedied the alleged defect and made the provisions so broad that those es- caplng religious persecution could also find refuge on American shores. And 1t so happens that the broadening of that provision is given in this instance as one of the reasons why the President is constrained to withhold his approval Tn other words, the President last session could see no possibility of in- ternational complications arising from an
 exclusion by America of political refu-
