"Jim" Kept Right On

Lost a Competent Man

Just a line to give credit TO a man who
deserves al the credit We can give him.
His name is Jim" Cunningham
Last Saturday morning We would have
had TO refer to him as "James Cunning
ham, commissioner of labor for the state
of Michigan bat today we can call him
Jim because his term has expired and
he takes his place with US down among
the common "peepul."
We want to tell you about "Jim's" last
days in office. in particular
AS commissioner of labor he was on
the job, delivering days work to Mich
gan for every days pay that he took
down. and efficiency was the thing aimed
at and achieved.
Jim made good in the Office but the
point we want to make is this He kept
right on the job and didn't quit work
until the whistle blew - didn't start
washing up at 10 minutes TO, in other
words
We met him on the street just few
days before his term expired and he told
us he was waist deep in work

prominent the question as to fuel condi-
tions amongst our allies.
Cold. rather than hunger. was the
chief horror borne by the people of
France and Italy last winter, and ire
mendous increase of suffering must come
next winter unless something is done
at once.
England can furnish France and Italy
sufficient coal but her difficulty is TO ship
it across the channel.
She can make the passage safely but
she hasn't the ships, and is losing ships
every day; hence, it would seem that
America must be. largely. depended up
on to remove the deficiency
Here comes in our question Of steel
ships OF wooden ships.
To help in transporting fuel across the
English channel, We have got TO supply
a lOl OF hNipS al the earliest possible
moment as Jack Frost waits for nobody.
II is certain that We can turn out wood
en- cargo ships much more rapidly than
we can steel ships
Again, the European neutralS, now so
anxious about President Wilson's export
plans are importing American stuff in
American ships. thus saving their own
merchant fleets from U-boat dangers and
reserving them for competition with
American trade ships after the war
Compelling these neutrals to put their
own fleets into transatlantic service
would release American ships for that
trans-channel fuel service.
WHY should our shins run the U-boa3
gauntlet when they might be safely sun
plying France and Italy with the atl-
\ necessary fuel?

A Lesson From Jackson
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
tCopyrisht, 1915. BY Frank crane)

a lesson that the American people are
learning slowly is that democracy does
not necessarily mean ineflcency.
Monarchy absolutism, Prussianism,
and all that sort of thing has its ex-
cuse in the fact that it does things. The
absolute boss who can act without con-
sulting any one can act without delay of
disputing Senates and councils.
In the first breakaway from one-man
power the people fly to the opposite ex-
IRENE and become a quarrelng mob All
forms of American government have
been thus faulty Waste graft bossism,
and confusion have characterized our
city, county state and national govern
mentS.
We are getting our second wind. how
ever There are indications that we are
determined to make democracy efficient.
This We can Go by shortening the ballot,
simplifying machinery, centraizing re-
sponSibity, and demanding of public SER
wants that they make good or quit.
In other words We are beginning to
realize that. government is a business to
he conducted by competent experts. We
are paying more attention to a mans
ability to administer his office than to his
ability 10 get elected TO it.
An article in the Grand Rapids Press
throws an interesting light on this by
giving the details of what the commits
Son-managcr plan has done for Jackson,
Mich, a typical city of 10000 inhabi-
tants
Previous to JackSon's adoption of the
commisson-manager plan the city was
in the bog Of debt deficit, and disorder
usual in the American aldermanic muoi-
cipality. Then the city hired man
named Gaylord Cummin, made him re-
sponsibe boss. just as if he were fore
man Of factory and told him to go
to it.
After year or so Jackson shows re-
suits some of which are as follows:
Municipal officers were taken out Of
politics.
All city purchasing is placed in the
hands Of one agent
Three hundred and eighty-three thou
sand dollars worth of property illegally
exempted from taxation was returned to
the rolls.
All cash discounts are taken
Sanitary inspection was made efficient.
rigid milk inspection inaugurated, and
tuberculosis hospital was equipped
The waste of hundreds Of thousands
Of gallons of water was stopped. and the
entire sewage system redesigned
Scientific methods were adopted in the
appraisal of property and in expendi-
lures
All charities were organized and re-
lief work superintendent by competent
expert
Finances have been set in order. A
floating deficit of $4,000 from over
drafts that had been carried for years
was wiped out. The city Indebtedness
was decreased more than $4,000.
The city ordinances are being over
hauled, lot Of obsolete laws removed.
and revision made that will give the
citizens a compact and understandable
set Of laws.
Every department Of civic life has felt
the benefcent influence Of the commits
sioner-manager system. and Demon
strates that democracy, when it serious
~ addresses itself to the task, can also
get things done
