NEW METHODS IN
CITY GOVERNMENT
Sweeping Changes Have Been Made In
Many Municipalities.

Within the past decade there have
been sweeping changes made iG the
form OF government in many cities
throughout the United States, the old
twin councilmanic rule giving way 10
the more modern system known rs the
commission plan, which has been in
force in this city little more than
three years. says the Harrisburg UaJ
Independent. While commission gov
ciIled cities have shown improvement
over the old style ward representation
by councilmen or aldermen, there ap-
pears 10 be n formidable movement
still further TO experiment on implov-
ins municipal conditions by sabstitut-
ing the city manager system, which, 1t
is claimed. is even far superior TO the
present commission form under which
Harrisburg is now working. In Gal
weston, Tex. and Dayton, o., the ely
manager plan has been attended with
practical success.
Many municipalities. like states.
should be governed by laws thar are
best suited To the needs of the respcc-
tive localities. 4 law that may be
highly beneficial to one community
may be just the opposite in another.
Whit may be'one mans meat may be
another mans poison. 1t Is claimed
by those who are familiar with the
conduct of Il city manager form OF gov
clGment that all these obstacles can be
avertSd. One thing is sure in respect
to iIari isburg Its citizens would not
sanction going back 10 the old system
in vogue wher councilmen were EJECT.
cd by wards and two bodies made laws
TO govern the city. That obsolete meth
Cd Of governing will never be resur-
reeted in this city.

WILLING TO FIGHT.

1t appears that perhaps two.thirds
OF the men who registered for military
service are liable to exemption for
some reason or other. But It should
not be understood that all these have
claimed exemption. The men actually
entering such claims are probably not
more than half the number who have
a good or at least plausible excuse
for avoiding army service. The rest
either desire to enter the army despite
their handicap, or else they are con
tent to submit their qualifications
without comment and let the govern
ment decide.
The nation Is to be congratulated
on this patriotic attitude shown by
millions OF citizens. The mere claim
Ing OF exemption, or failure to claim
IT, will of course, not affect the mater.
ial result. The authorities will not be
influenced by mere personal prefer
ence on the part Of the registered
men. They will decide each case on
Its merits, basing their Judgment on
the facts submitted. but the obvious
willingness Of most Of our young mer
10 serve their country In any field
TO which they are called IL reassurlns
10 the nation and adds an impressiv,
element Of moral strength To our new
armies.

FACING BANK RuPTCY.

The railroad companies OF Illinois
are appealing to the people for help.
This is a new way the railroads have,
Formerly they did not ask anybody
for help; all they had to do in the
good old days was to help themselves.
But now every thing is different. NO
changes in freight rates can he made
without the consent OF the Interstate
and State Utility commissions No
exploitation of the public can be
made on stock and bond issues unless
these issues have been approved.
The going is not so easy for the
roads Costs are doubling and treb-
bling and in order to staye OF de-
ficits the companies are asking for
a freight increase Of fifteen per cent.
From all the data al hand il would
appear that they were entitled to 1t.
The ultimate consumer should stand
the burden OF extra costs and not the
railroads. II was the ultimate con
sumer who brought about present con
ditions and he should not balk when
the fiddler claims his pay.

THE WHlskEY TAX.

Some rude critics are pointing out
that the joy of the prohibtionists ov-
er the heavy tax the senate finance
committee proposes to lay on grain
used for distilling liquor is prema-
ture. This tax Of $40 a bushel on
the grain, the critics say, will have
one good effect the conservation Of
many million bushels Of grain for use
as food But 1t will not stop the
whisky-drinking, because there Is
said TO be enough whisky now stored
in bond TO last the country about three
years.
The real beneficiaries of the meas
nre, say the critics, will be the distil
lers, dealers and spectators who hold
this vast quoatity Of whisky, The tax
amounts to about So on every gallon
OF liquor made Every gallon already
In bonds will therefore take on that
much additional value Thus congress-,
il II passes the BILL will make the
whisky interests a gift of several
hundred million dollars,
Evidently the matter will bear
looking into little further.
