KENYON RIDDLE TELLS OF
"CTTY MANAGER" IN ABILENE

Kenyon Riddle has an interview
III the Hutchinson News in which he
explains the city manager system
The News says "They would en-
nloy city manager to carry out
the work they would authorize ex-
planned Mr. Riddle you will find
that you can get your very best
men to serve as commissioners, rs
board of directors of the city,

willing to take the time necessary

walks. or listening to complaint, or
investigating lights. and such?'
At any rate that is the way It
worked out at Abilene. Mr.. Riddle
was city engineer there three> years
ago when the city commission in
augurated the manager system.
Il did the hiring of the men, saw
that the work was done, attended to
all of the details of the administra-
tion. and took all the kicks and
complaints, said Mr. Riddle. "The
commissioners met weekly but in
an advisory and legislative capacity
only They decided policies at

ton and carrying out what the com
mission decided"
All of the employees of the city
were appointed by the city manager
and worked under him directly
There was no iockeying for jobs, no
political wire-pulling, none of the
grief that councilmen and commits
sioners usually have.
And you would be surprised how
much money was saved and how
much more efficient work was done
Mr. Riddle remarked.
Abilene's city manager scheme
was a success. but it was illegal.
It developed that the city didn't
have the right to run itself that
way.
"But it's coming, just as surely

OLD ACE PENSIONS

Gov. Mccall of Massachusetts il
his message to the legislature has
these words on old age pensions
something that this country will
have to take up some day and which
properly done will make for a larg-
er humanity:
Another kind of social insurance
that is pressing is aimed at the, de-
tendency of old age and is designed
to make honorable provision for
men and women who have wrought
well during their lives and have
grown old in the service. An effec-
tive way to guard against depen-
dency in old age might seem to be
through some common form of in
surance, but voluntary systems have
received only slight support, and
have done little to solve the prob
lem. If very many take no thought
of the morrow, very few will think
OF making provision for themselves
if their lives should be prolonged

are not apt to provide for so remote
an event as their old age The pres
ent necessity outweighs the fardis-
tant contingency which may never

"EyERYBODY'S BUSINESS"

The growing desire to "let the
government do it, has an illustra-
tion in the demand for municipal
ownership and operation of markets.
Quite likely this agitation will pro-
coed until a few cities have tried
it, thrown their local merchants
out of business, and demonstrated
the superiority of private enter
prise. out in Portland oregon, the
city authorities tried to relieve the
army of unemployed by establish
ing municipal wood yards, paying
laborers for cutting and piling cord
wood. When it came time to sell
the wood, a measurement showed
that the city was 100 cords short
of what it had paid for. And no one
could tell whether the city had paid
for wood it did not get or some one
had stolen and hauled away 100
cords without the city authorities
knowing it. What is everybody
business is nobody's business

GEO. LENHERT'S MILKY WAY
DAIRY FARM NEWS

The Milky Way Farm south of
town has at present nine pure bred
Holstein cows and heifers of milk
ing age, all of which have official
records except one. Geo Lenhert,
the proprietor has paid out for test
ing in the last IA months nearly
500 and has made seven 7-day Of
fetal records and finished two semi
official yearly records and has five
in the process of making. One Of
the yearly records was of a heifer
less than four years old, with a rec
ord of 12695.6 lbs. milk making an
average of over 1000 lbs per month
for / 2 months and 52309 lbs. but
ter in one year, being an average of
nearly l Y lbs. per day of butter
The other one is heifer 2515
months old that gave S6365 lbs.
milk and 39165 lbs butter in one
year.
His herd is headed by Prince
Woodcrest Green whose dam, May
Green 2nd Lass, has an official rec
ord of 1898 lbs. butter in Z days,
over 4 lbs. per day and 744.3 lbs.
milk, over 100 lbs. per day for
days and 3149 lbs. milk in 80 days
and 1912 lbs. butter in 80 days,
over 4 lbs. of butter per day. After
she MIXED eight months she made
another record of 1855 lbs butter
and 440 lbs. milk in days, being
an average of over 1O1 lbs. butter
per month for 8 months or a total
of S13.6 lbs butter and about
10000 lbs. milk in months, or an
average of S459 lbs milk Of nearly
10 gallons per day for 8 months.
He has at the present time one
bull over IA months old and ready
for light service for sale; sired by
Prince and whose dam as heifer
gave 391.65 lbs. butter per year. He
is more black than white, has white
legs below knees The price is only
800 registered and transferred
Mr.. Lenhert extends to the public
cordial invitation to come and
see his stock. He has at the present
time stable room for II cows and
has on hand IS head. He would sell
any of the grades until his herd
is reduced so that the stable will

hundred years. But who ever thinks
to make such a payment?
Numerous objections have beer
urged against the old age pension
It is claimed that whatever it may
be called, it is a form of outdoor
poor relief. While it may be true
that the recipients of the pensions
are in many cases kept out Of poor
houses, the pension is granted in
recognition of long and meritorious
service to society, and a recognition
of that service approaches in honor
the recognition of service in war. 1t
is also urged that it discourages
the formation of habits of thrift
and lessons the incentive to put by
something for a rainy day. Another
objection put forward is that the
old-age pension would weaken the
sense of obligation which children
are under to support their aged par
ents. and would tend to impair fam
lily solidarity.
But with regard to the old age
pension, very may of the recipients
of it have no children at all The
children of many others are not
upon a self-supporting basis. One of
the advantages of the pension would
be that it would enable the parents
in many cases to live with their
children and keep families unbrok-
en-. Thus family solidarity would not
be impaired but preserved; and in
cases where the pensioner had no
children, the amount of his pen
sion, added to the resources of
relative Or neighbor, would help
support the expense of household,
and enable him, without sacrifice
of his independence, to have the adj
vantage of a home.

HOW HUTCHINSON DOES II

Hutchinson is going after it's au-
tomobile problem in a manner which
il believes, will cause drivers to be
somewhat careful of the lives and
welfare Of other persons. Drivers
are to be licensed
The license system, as rule
rarely does any good to any one
other than he who is licensed. Most
license ordinances are passed be-
cause the parties licensed, with an
eye to shutting out competition,
ask these ordinances, and the cities
talways anxious for spending mon
ey) get a few more dollars. The
consumer is the one who is hit.
But Hutchinson is going at it
differently. The licenses cost no
money (Which is an innovation in
city government and the only OBJ
Ject of them is to keep a check on
the drivers. Drivers who are found
to be careless, who are convicted of
drunkenness or any vice, who dam
age other property through their
Cwn careless driving, etc. will have
their licenses taken away from them
for a certain period of time. During
such times they will not be allowed
to drive a car Fines have not stop
ped speeding or careless driving in
They are not stopping
II in Salina, or in any other city.
Some municipalities have Jail SEN
fences for reckless drivers, though
some think this severe. But it is be-
lieyed that when it is known that
when a driver breaks the speed or
careless driving rules, or is drunk,
his right to drive a car about the
city will be taken from him, he will
eease to break the laws. At any rate
experiment will be
with interest.

A TOWN sPANKER NEEDED

Yesterday afternoon a high school
girl came sailing down Sixth avenue
wearing a skirt which was short
even for a high school girl, and a
pair Of apple-eolored stockings
which would have created sensa-
ton on a chorus girl The fact that
the girl was Of the type that causes
pair of stockings to bulge did not
improve matters. OF course, the
stockings were innocent, and so was
the girl, but behind the stockings
and strung along for a block was a
dozen high school boys and a way
farer in passing the boys probably
heard a dozen remarks, none par
ticularly complimentary, about those
stockings and their contents. or
course the girl was not to blame for
the remarks made by the Horrid
Boys, although as matter OF fact
the Horrid Boys did pass perhaps
a dozen properly clad girls without
going to the trouble of saying any
thing improper.
The average boy of high school
age has good eyesight, and for that
matter, anyone could follow the
course of those stockings across
sixth avenue without either his far
away or near-to spec. For the rea
sons given the Gazette draws the
conclusion that apple-colored socks
are not suitable for school wear, at
least in Emporia.
The theory probably is that the
airl should be spanked That was
the Gazette's first opinion But, as
we have said the girl was limo
cent, and of course could not be the
incentive Of lot Of remarks made
by lot of Horrid Boys. So our re-
yised opinion is that it is the mother
Of the girl that should be spanked,
and publicly spanked at that
