Akron Administrator Explains
Home Rule Existing in That City

William J. Laub, chief administra-
tor of Akron, Ohio, explains the form
Of home rule in vogue there in the fol-
lowing letter:
Replying to your inquiry concern
ing the operation and advantages of
a city manager form of government,
I beg to advise you that, with refer
ence to our own. it has several advan-
tages over the old or federal form
All the councilmen, eight in number,
are elected at large instead of from
wards and four of their number re-
tire every two years. In this manner
the delays and possible waste which
may arise through the education of
an entirely new council are avoided.
Not having a ward influence to con-
troll them, the councilmen can act on
every proposal before them, with a
city-wide influence controlling them.
The mayor is elected at large, pre-
sides over council and has vote but
no veto.
The manager is employed by the
council for an indefinite term and is
both the administra tive and executive
head of the city.
Subject to Dismissal
In our case, the heads of the five
major departments created b. the
charter are appointed by the manager
anu are subject to dismissal by him
without reference to civil service re-
quirements. The full administrative
and executive responsibility being
placed on the manager. he is given
that cooperation which can only
come by having those heads appointed
by him who will carry out his policies
and program and are independent of
the electorate or of the council. For
misfeasance or -feasance in office
the manager may be discharged by
council, after full hearing of his case,
two-thirds being necessary for the pur-
pose.
Under the manager form, policies
and programs may be set up by the
manager and fully carried out regard
less of changes in council as a result
Of political elections, so long as coun-
Gil will legislate the means necessary
to further such policies or programs.
This form has it's advantages in law
enforcement where the manager as
policy and pursue it without hand
rance of interference by legislative
authority or political administration.
Expenses Reduced
AkrCn's experience with the mana
ger form has only been since January
l of this year and it can not be defin-
itely stated that operating expenses
have been reduced as a result of
it for the reason that no satisfac-
tory comparison can be made between
this and previous years on account of
prevailing high prices for service,
labor and materials.

PLANES READY FOR
PULITZER AIR RACE
(By Associated Press)

MINEOLA, n Y, Nov. 25.-Propell-
crs of forty four high speed airplanes
famed the air over Mitchell field into
various cross currents early today in
final preparation fo+the Toe the
mark" order scheduled to be given at
II o'clock officially starting the dash
for honors in the Pulitzer trophy race,
Every piece of metal had been burn
ished, the wings officially 'preened"
and inspected and the engines tuned
so that their spins made only harmon
ious music in the mechanician's ears.
For the first time in the history of
airplane racing, the plans called for
simultaneous starting of machines in
stead of singly and racing against
time as all such races heretofore have
been run. Arrangements were made
to have seven planes start at time,
seven succeeding racers being kept
constantly in readiness to line up i'm
mediately following their predecessors.
The triangular course Of seven, eleven
and fifteen mile legs is 1872 miles in
length, each entrant being required to
circumnavigate the triangle four times

Distinguished guests in great abund-
ance were expected to be numbered
among the spectators. Besides John
j. Pershing and Josephus Daniels, sec
retary Of the Navy, the designers OF
all the makes of machines entered in
the race were expected to watch the
performance of their respective "crea.
tion."

Belgian and German make were enter
ed as well as various types of ma.

and navy
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-11-25

The form, however, can and has de-
veloped more efficiency, as a result
Of responsibility being fixed and the
cooperation that has been possible,
as compared with the federal plan
where the several officers now ap-
pointive were elective.
1t can not be said that local govern
ment under any form is entirely free
Of politics. 1t may be that the admin
istration of the manager may be made
an issue in any election of councilmen
and when so made, the councilmen
running on a platform or campaign
against the manager will feel obliged
to use their efforts to remove him
II such a number acted consistently
on their campaign pledge to the
people and were able to secure addi-
tional strength Of council, it can easily
be seen that removal of the manager
would not be impossible

French Premier Fauors
Opening Trade With Russia

PARIS, Nov. 25.-Suppression of the
blockade of Russia is favored by Pre-
mier Leygues, he told the committee
on foreign relations of the Chamber
of Deputies last evening. Inasmuch
as the soviet government is actually
in operation. he declared it has been
decided to permit French traders and
manufacturers to do all the business
they can with Russia.
In addition, says Marcel Cachian,
who is a member of the committee
and who has written an account of
the premier's statement for the news
paper Humanite, M. Leygues said he
was arranging to encourage trade with
Russia.
Discussing General Baron Wrangel
and the recent defeat of that anti
Bolshevik leader the premier asserted
he considered the rout of General
Wrangefs troops represented nothing
and that France was released Of all
engagements toward him. This coun-
try is now feeding General WrangePs
army out of humanity but would con-
tinue this work no longer than neces-
sary. The premier said he was not
talking of using that army and Incl
dentally announced that half of Gen
eral Wrangel's troops were not in
Servia. where they were now being
reorganized.

Red Cross Drive Ends;
$500 Enrolment Secured

At the close of the three days mem
bership drive of the Red Cross in Rich
mond returns fell 500 short of 5000.
An enrolment of $500 from com
munity of approximately $4,000 is not
considered very good and it is report
ed that in proportion to the popula-
ton the other townships of Wayne
county are out distancing Richmond
although no official returns have been
received.
Weather conditions are considered
largely responsible for the poor head
way made by the campaign. Anticl-
pating that hundreds will enroll yet if
given the opportunity booths will be
placed in the downtown section Satur-
day. In the townships booths will be
opened at many places and the can
vassing which has been delayed by
the weather will continue. The drive
will not be closed in the townships un-
til Wednesday, Dec. l.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
NOW OCCUPIED WITH
COMMITTEE MEETINGS
(By Associated Press)

GENEVA, Nov. 25. - Committee
meetings again features todays ses-
sion of the assembly of the league Of
nations. Several of these bodies,
charged with examination OF projects
laid before the assembly and the
preparation of reports, are believed to
have nearly completed work and it is
expected that debate on their COLI
clusions may begin in a few days.
Distinct lines of cleavage seem to
be making their appearance at the
meeting of the assembly, delegates
from the smaller nations insisting
that the countries they represent
should play an influential role in the
work of the assembly and the council
of the league. Scandinavian ana
South American representatives are
prominent in the conversations occur
ring at sessions of the assembly and
it is expected their leaders are plan
ming to take part in the debates which
will begin soon.
Argentine Leader.
Honorio Pueyrredon, foreign minis
ter of Argentine and one of that
nations representatives is one of the
leaders in demanding that smaller na-
tions should elect four members o.
the council of the league, and lie
seems to have the support of a num-
her of influential delegations. Sweden,
Norway and Denmak, evidently pur-
pose to take to the floor of the assem-
bly, the fight for amendments to the
covenant of the league.
The proceedings Of the assembly
which are at present really being car
lied on by the committees may be
considered as merely preliminary to
its real work which will begin when
these committees submit reports and
debate begins
