Do We Want Observation-Disclosures?
l. What we do know.
a. Three commissioners get $50. 90
per year each, and must be resi-
deats of Hays.
b. That we must keep the system
for four years.
g What we do not know.
a. Who the three commissioners will
be.
b. Who will be manager.
C. Or what his salary will be.
You are asked to vote to abolish the
offices of Mayor and Council and elect
three men. These three mel in turn
hire manager. He may come from
Lendon, England, Florida, Alabama,
Arkansas, New Mexico, Arizona, or
Hays, Kansas.
After the manager goes to work, he
is the boss and has power to hire or fire
whenever he sees fit. He may hire
people in Hays or he may get them
from wherever he pleases. The COM
missioners are the only ones that have
any kind of check on him.
How about his salary? The commits
sioners may hire him for 81, 10000 or
SO, 900. They are bound to get the
best man they can get for salary that
money can get. Look around and find
out what good business managers get
a year. Some concerns that have only
a capital of $500, 900 must pay from
So. 10000 to $40, 10000 per year for a
competent manager. The real capital
stock of Hays is about Sc, 900 900 even
if the assessed valuation is only So, 900,
900.
Now what salary do you think COM
petent man would want to run three
million dollar corporation?
What effect will this manager have
on our city?
1. VIII life be safer?
2. Will. farmers get more for their
wheat?
3. VIII we get better light and wa
ter service?
4. VIII rates for water and light
be less?
5. Will the resident Iaboring men
get better pay and will they get
more days werk?
6. viii the schools be helped?
z. Will more streets be paved?
8. VIII taxes be lowered?
g. VIII there be more or less peo-
pie on the City pay roll?
Respectfully,
A taxpayer.

Ancient Time Recorders.

Perhaps the first reference to at
tempts to reckon time by mechanical
means is found in Isaiah 1873, written
supposedly about 113 B. c., 'the sun
dial of Ahaz." Pliny says that Anaxi-
mander invented a sun dial about $50
B. G. The first sun dial at Rome was
placed in the Temple of Quirinus,
about 29S B. c., when time was divided
into hours. The clepsydra, or water
clock, was the next time recorder in

Shakespeare had children from
whom the world never heard. So it
was with Dickens. None of his chill
dren came anywhere near his STAN
dard. Owen Meredith was a mediocre
writer as compared with his father,
Sir Edward Bulwer LyttOn. LyttOn,
while a very voluminous writer, was
also strong and fine at all times. AL
exander Dumas fills could not at any
time compare with Dumas the elder.
Nathaniel Hawthorne was head and
shoulders above his son, Julian, in the
power TO produce books worth while.

Snakes in the Ocean.

There may or may not be such
thing as a sea-serpent, but there GER
tainly are snakes in the ocean. There
are numerous varieties of small snakes
that live in ali oceans; then there are
the eels, of course, which go from the
salt water to the fresh. In the waters
around southern Asia there lives the
banded sea snake, which has stripes
around its body and broad tail, and can
swim with great speed.
