NAY UNDERGO CHANGE

LONDON, June While 1t is
safe prophecy that nothing but talk
will come Of the present "deyolution"
debate IN The British parliament, it is
likely that the discussion presages a
radical departure eventually from the
ancient form of parliamentary rule.
A probable development is a close
approach TO the federal system OF
the United States and a supreme
parliament, with Scotland. Wales,
Ireland and the dominions having
subsidiary bodies.
Parliament now is so swanped with
accumulated business from every
part of the empire and some mem
bers regard the whole parliamentary
system as long since ou,worn under
the stress OF the tremendous prob
lens facing Great Britain. Typical
British conservatism, always unwill-
ing TO allow the least change, finally
has been forced 10 admit that either
n sweeping reform OF parliament ia
necessary, or there is danger of a
collapse OF the whole system from
the sheer weight OF the super
structure.

York, for instance, undertaking &c
pass laws for the whole of the United
States, the Philippines, the Virgin
Islands and Guam, besides fighting

MAY GIVE CITY
ENGINEER FIVE
DAYS FOR SELF
Especial Moline Service

Lyle Payton may be Moline's
city engineer at the old salary of
$500 a year, but with an inser-
ton in the city ordinance that he
be allowed i've days a month for
outside work.
Mr.. Payton's appointment to the
position of city engineer was with
drawn because he declined to serN e
for $500 a year. The ordinance
with the amendment that five days
be granted the city engineer was
introduced upon the motion of Aid
erman Herbst last evening. 1t
probably will be passed, judging
from the action at last nights
meeting. The old ordinance reads
that the salary be $500 annually.
but says that the engineer must
devote all his time TO city employ
ment
- Payton has been city engineer,
having been appointed so by the
old city commission, but has not
been reappointed since the alder
manic form has been in action.
Mr.. Payton asked for 5000 a year
or permission to devote part of his
time to outside work. When no
action was taken, he withdrew his
name as the appointee.
