SOUTH BEND OPENS
CAMPAIGN TO GET
MANAGER FOR CITY

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Jan. 31-Pre-
liminary to conducting campaign
whereby the commission form of gov
ernment may be introduced in South
Bend, H. w. Waite, city manager of
Dayton, O., delivered two addresses
Wednesday before joint meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce and all the
leading mems and women's clubs of
the city. Mr.. Waite devoted his time
to explaining the operation of the Day
ton plan Among other things he
said:
Politics can not enter the admins
trative end of Dayton. Politics, in
fact, do not play an important part in
the city management at all. Separat-
ing the legislative and administrative
portions of the city is a dividing line,
and this line likewise prevents politics
from creeping into the administrative
end. Even the commissioners are
elected on nonpartisan basis. Dayton
has a commission form of government.
Five commissioners are elected at
large from the city They compose the
legislative body and in turn appoint
city manager"

RELIEF DISPENSED BY TOWNSHIP
SHOWS ACTUAL INCREASE OF 1924;
MELPOLDER DIRECTS THE WORK NOW

Wayne township, through Trustee
Edgerton, dispensed ordinary relief
to needy persons amounting to
s3,63014 in 1914.
In 1916, the cost to taxpayers OF
giving relief had mounted to $4,455.11.
This is an increase Of $S24.97.
Part OF this increase. at least. Is
due to increases in the cost Of living.
On the other hand, Richmond in
1914, passed through period OF Sc
we're industrial depression. In 1916,
industrial conditions were prosperous
and there was little idleness. In 1915,
$4,735.77 was dispensed in relief.
MeIpolder's System at Work
John T. Melpolder, general secre-
tary OF the Social Service Bureau,
came to Richmond during 1914 and
bis system became effective during
that year. BY 1916 1t had full oppor-
tunity to demonstrate its worth.
Instead of reducing the amount Of
money paid out for ordinary relief by
the township trustee the passage Of
these two years has seen no slight
increase.
Ordinary relief" constitutes coai,
groceries and clothing given to needy
persons. Part Of this relief was dis
pensed outside of Richmond, but the
proportion is said to have been negli-
gible.
Melpoider Directs Relief
Prior to the last quarter of 1916 the
county commissioners instructed Tlus.
tee Edgerton to dispense no relief
excepting upon orders Of Melpolder.
During this quarter $1,316.10 was
paid for ordinary relief given out on
Melpolder's order. In the correspond
ing quarter of 1915 Edgerton issued
relief to the amount of $1,045.85.
This is an increase in cost of dis
pensing relief during this quarter Of
$270.25.

Milton Sh0rn
OF His Laurels

CHICAGO, Jan. 81 - Claims that
Joost van den Vondel, the Dutch
writer, and not John Milton. was the
true father of Paradise Lost" were
made by Prof. Leonard c. Van Mop
pen. queen Wilhelmina lecturer at Co
lumbia University, in an address at
the University Of Chicago. last night.
Prof. Van Noppen asserted that the
essential features of the poem were
taken from work called "Lucifer'
written by Vondel, and embellished by
few rythmic phrases. He said he
had 200 pages of parallelisms from
the works of the two men
I'VE must not censure Milton too
much for his self-evident plagiarism"
Prof Van Noppen added.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1917-01-31

these appointments are to be made
this week so council can act upon them

Three election commissioners must
also be appointed for the primary, one
Republican, one Democrat and the
third to be selected by the first two
appointed Chairman Tiff announced
today that the Republican commiss-
ioner would be John Fosler. The
Democratic commissioner has not been
selected.
Referring to the mayoralty candi-
dacy of certain man and the suggest
ion that the Republican committee at
tempt to influence him to withdraw
from the contest, Chairman Tiff said
today that he saw no reason for the
committee taking such action This

gerton's books at the court house
with his permission.
Fewer Families Get Relief
There has been a decrease in the
number of families receiving relief.
In 1914 there were $50, in 1915 there
were 37S and in 1916 there were 249.
This is explained upon the grounds of
improvement in industrial conditions.
Numbers Of persons sharing in re-
lief consequently decreased with the
decrease in number of families. In
1914. 1922 persons shared, in 1915,
1,377, and in 1916, 1876.
On the other hand per capita cost
of relief increased largely.
In 1914 1t cost $2.55 a person, in
1915, $3.44, and last year, the cost
had mounted to $497.
This Is due to two factors, accord
ing to Edgerton. One is the large
increase in cost Of provisions. The
other is that some families have re-
quired more help than in previous
years.
