intends to strongly interfere in these disturb

NEW CITY COMMISSION BILL

Abilene is interested in Senate
Bill SO which is before the legisla-
ture. 1t was introduced to enable a
Lawrence commissioner to get even

The intention of the bill is to
give each commissioner absolute
power to hire and fire in his own
department and every man so hired
loses his job automatically when the
head of the department goes out Of
office. The practical effect of this
clause will be to make each city en-
ploye an active politician Logging for
the reelection of his chief Under
this. arrangement no city employe
can be sure of his job beyond the
term of office of the commissioners
in whose department he serves. If
the employee is an exceptionally good
man, 1t makes no difference, he
automatically loses his job and the
commissioner elect escapes from the
charge of discharging a capable en-
ploye, when he names a political
henchman to fill the place. Abilene
