CHAMBER COMMERCE FAVORS
TRIAL OF CITY MANAGER PLAN

A special meeting of the chamber
of commerce was held last night at the
chamber rooms, where the matter of
adopting the city manager plan of city
government was discussed.
! Prof H. T. Lewis of the department
of economics, addressed the gathering
and compared the city management
plan with the plan now in vogue. He
| stated that that form of government
was best which permitted the carry
ing out of the wishes of the people
with the least amount of expenditure,
of energy and money. He showed that
the mayor and city council plan with
it's numerous committees and depart
ments tended to make the city's bus
mess to be handled in loose and un-
cordenated manner that there was
great division of responsibility, slow
ness of operation of the machinery
provided for this plan.
To overcome the difficulties, to re-
duce friction and to speed up the work
of municipal business the city man
ager plan had been devised and that
this plan was no more or less than the
plan utilized by large corporations in
conducting their business: That in
this plan the mayor and city council
represented the board of directors and
the city manager. the superintendent
or manager of the corporation.
He stated that the city manager plan
had been adopted by large number
of cities throughout the United States
and had been found to be very desir-
able and efficient in towns of all
sizes Asked the question of whether
or not it would be efficient and eff
fective in a town the size of Mos
l. fn6 fn fhn nifx nf To
Grande, Oregon where the plan had
been in effect for number of years
and had proved highly satisfactory
La Grande is a town about the size of
Moscow He pointed out that in COM
pairing one plan of government with
another the standard of comparison
should be the service rendered and not
the amount of money expended by the
the one plan over the other. He also
pointed out that the effectiveness and
efficiency of any plan of government
was the personal of the officers.
general discussion of the PROPOSE
ton was had among the individuals
present A motion was made and un-
animously carried that it was the
sense of those present that Moscow
should give the manager plan trial.
T H. BARLEY spoke on the matter
and stated that he was not yet con-
vinced that the manager plan would
be desirable, but suggested that the
people be permitted to express their
wishes on the proposition by taking an
informal ballot thereon at the coming
city election. Mr.. BARLEY left prior
to the vote on the above motion.
1t was suggested that further dis
cussion of the matter be had at the
regular chamber of commerce meeting
no Tuesday next and Prof. H. T. Lewis
was requested to address the chamber
at that time

mittee of the chamber of commerce
consisting of DR.. J. A. Mcdaniel, G. e.
Walks, Rev. Dean Hamilton, john
Humphrey and Coach Bleamaster, was
held yesterday and the matter of the

each town at least once every two
weeks on Friday evenings.
That the business firms of the cities
be asked to furnish the suits, said
suits to bear the name of the firm
furnishing same and be a source of
advertisement of the firm. 1t was al
so suggested that the business houses
of the various towns be asked to
close on the evenings that the game
was scheduled in the various towns
at A p. m. giving opportunity for the
clerks and office people to attend the
game.
The committee considered the first
step necessary in carrying out this
plan was to ascertain the amount of
baseball material available in Mos
COW and the territory contiguous there
to an dto this end the following COM
mittee was appointed to canvas the
territory and have a meeting of all
base ball players and fans at the U.
S. employment office on Monday eve
ming, April at o'clock.
Any persons who have had any base
ball experience are urged to attend
this meeting. It is the plan to have
the teams in the league composed of
local players and not professional
men brought in from outside which
would incur great amount of expense
Lewiston has already organized it's
team and has intimated that they
would be glad to join in such league
ard the matter has been discussed to
some extent in Pullman and Colfax.

CANADIAN DOCTOR SAW
WAR AT ITS WORST

Captain C. F. Magee of the Canad-
ian army medical corps arrived here
today from south Idaho, where he has
spent some time He is visiting at
the home of DR.. H. j. Smith and
other friends. Captain Magee expects
to return to Ontario to get his dis
charge and will then locate in Mos
COW as a practicing physician.
He was engaged actively with the
Canadian troops for two years and
seven months at the casualty clearing
station Of the Ypres front, where the
soldiers were first brought in from
the fields He was thus able to as
sist the fellows from the very first.
Captain Magee was early in the
war and took part in the big drive
for Paris and saw vast stretches of
country that was absolutely desc
lated.
In one instance of a retreat of 32
miles the troops and civilians were
in chaotic confusion. On one side of
the road the troops and ammunition
were hurrying to the front and on
the other side, civilians, supplies and
ambulances were fastening in the op-
posite direction to escape the oncom-
ing Hun.
Captain Magee spoke to the school
children this afternoon and the pupils
were delighted with his war expert
ences.
We are pleased to have DR.. Magee
like Moscow enough to choose it for
his home

STATE WANTS LOANS
ON IMPROVED LANDS

BOISE.-The department of public
investment, which has taken over the
investment and collection duties for
merly held by the state land board
and@register of that body, states that
ON the first day of April there was de-
posted to what might be called the
credit of the land and investment ac-
counts about 100000, which the de-
partment is anxious to get invested
in mortgage loans, on improved farm
lands and such school bonds as are
permissibly loaned on
During the last two months of last
year and in January, 1919, loaning on
farm lands was almost wholly discon-
tinued. In February and March a
number of loans were made aggregat-
ing something like 100000. Applica-
tions for loans to the amount of $75,-
600 to $4,000 possibly, are now in
process of appraisement, and school
bond offerings will be made this
month of possibly $150,000
Regarding farm loans the policy of
the department whenever money is at
hand will be to make speedy appraise-
ment and determination, so that those
who ask for loans will not be subject
to wearisome delay.

DECLARES SERVING
FOR BROTHERS CRIME
FRED S. LANE, WHO CONFESSED
TO WRONGING LITTLE GIRL,
TELLS STORY

| Is Fred S. Lane serving a 50-year
| term in the state penitentiary for a
heinous crime which he never com
mitted, but to which he confessed IL
years ago to shield younger brother
James Lietch, parole officer of the
institution, declared to the state par
dons board, Wednesday afternoon that
Lane had so convinced him, and
recommended that Lanes sentence be
reduced from so to 80 years, but pro-
tests from the committing judge, the
prosecuting attorney and interested
citizens caused the board to refuse to
alter the sentence, states an article
in Thursdays Statesman.
Lane pleading guilty July &c, 1907,
to a crime against young girl, who
died the next month from the effects
of her ill treatment at the time of
the tragedy, and was sentenced in
Kootenai county to serve 80 years in
the penitentiary. The little girl who
was waylaid and assaulted positively
identified Lane as her assailant, ac-
cording to the prosecuting attorneys
protest.
Accuses Dead Brother.
The prisoner declares, however, that
his brother was the real criminal
The brother died about year ago
and as soon as Lane heard of the
death he told his story to the parole
officer at the penitentiary.
Until Lane can convince the cfti-
zens of the community where the
tragedy occurred that his story is true,
danuntil they bring pressure to bear
on the pardons board, he must con-
tinue to serve his sentence. He has
38 years yet to serve, not counting
good time allotments.
About 10 years ago he befriended a
young man who was sent to the peni-
tentiary Since then the young mans
parents, an aged couple living near
Ogden, Utah, have continually urged
the pardons board to release him that
he might make his home with them.

Road Rules For Motorists.
"Road and traffic laws vary in diff
ferent localities. says A. S. Frost of
local dealer in Chevrolet passenger
cars and trucks. 1t is, therefore. i'm
possible to set down complete list
of rules which may be followed this
summer when touring all parts of the
country The following are some of
the rules which are practically uni
-versal in all parts of the United
States:
"In meeting vehicle going in an
opposite direction pass to the right.
always stop with the right side of
the car next to the curb. If it is
necessary to turn around to do this, it
should be done.
Never turn around or turn off onto
another road without making abso-
lutely sure that there are no other
vehicles behind you
"Never enter upon street car tracks
without making sure that no car is
directly behind you-no matter how
sure you feel, look and see.
do not cross the street car or
steam railroad tracks without making
sure that it is absolutely safe to do So
'In crowded traffic do not apply
the brakes suddenly unless it is abso
lutely necessary 1t may be that the
vehicle following cannot stop as quick
ly as you can If this is the case, a.
collision is sure to result.
"On wet asphalt streets or slippery
roads do not apply the brakes sud
denly unless absolutely necessary. If
the brakes are applied suddenly un-
der these conditions a bad skid is sure
to result.
when you have reached a point
when you intend turning or stopping,
always make your intention known to
the driver following before you reach
that point,
when you intend stopping, or, in
crowded traffic, slow up, always make
your intention known to the driver in
your rear by holding your arm out the
side of the car in a horizontal posi-
tion."

loving bill having provisional
character, will, according to advices
from Weimar be submitted to the
German national assembly:

is authorized in order to remedy dis
advantages resulting from the occupa-
ton of Alsace Lorraine, to promulgate
DEGREES having the force of law.
These DEGREES must be approved by
the commissions of the state and also
must be submitted to the national
assembly.

ferred upon the lieutenant governor
or other authorities by the constitu-
ton of Alsace Lorraine and by bylaws

shape. An indication of the Republic
can position was given in an announce
ment of Republican Leader Lodge
and other naval committeeman of
plans to oppose the naval bills build
ing program approved by the commit
tee today on partisan vote.
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
said: THE presidents plan. is made
without adequate knowledge of the
situation"
Republicans generally declared 1t
was physically impossible to pass all
of the measures. They asserted that
recent speeches by Democratic sena-
tors and failure to carry out the Dem
ocratic conference order for night
sessions had contributed to the legfs-
lative congestion. Attention was called
to the fact that remaining appropria-
ton bills aggregated more than ~
600. 100000. while only five working
days remained before adjournment.
1t Had Required Effect.
President Wilson's intimation that
he would go to the capitol to urge i'm
mediate passage of vital legislation to-
day speeded congressional action.
The senate naval committee decided
| to report out the big navy bill with the
proviso that the president could sus-
pend it if the league of nations was
formed
The senate public lands committee
favorably reported Secretary Lanes
bill appropriating 500, 900, 900 to re-
claim land for returning soldiers. The
| house hurried consideration of the
treasury note issue authorization bill
and had only the civil sundry and
general deficiency bills to dispose of
| before cleaning up it's work.
Altho two senate committees had
taken action desired by the president.
| legislation stood still in the senate
| itself while the league of nations de-
| bate continued. Senator Cummins,
PIowa, attacked the constitution and
submitted substitute plan.
