CITY MANAGER
PLAN is URGED
BEFORE LEAGUE
Speaker Declares System Is
Most Economical Form of
Municipal Government.
FINDS FEW ABLE MAYORS

The city manager type Of government
has been more successful in keeping
close to the people OF the city and carry
ing out their wishes than any other
form Of local government, DR.. A R.
Hatton. field director OF the National
Municipal League. declared az the con
vention Of the league at the ClaypOol
Hotel today.
He said he did not wish TO be IN
derstood as saying that IN all cases It
carried out all the wishes Of the people
that it is carried on by people who are
humans
He said his experience had shown him
that this type Of government, in cities
where he made personal inquiries, was
more efficient than The type e had sif
perseded, in execution Of the policies
once laid down.
FEW MAYORS ARE
GOOD EXECUTIVES.
In touching upon the matter Of eff
cheney he said that he could count on
the finger OF one hand the mayors Of
big cities who really were good eXecu-
tives-that the best executives win not
offer themselves for popular election.
He said that In very few cities would
an elected mayor who is supposed to
give fun time TO his duties, have been
offered by a private employer OF indus
try, a position as an executive at a salary
as large as he was receiving as a city
official.
HIS experience had been, he said, in
relation to the expense Of the manager
form Of government, was that IL was an
economical form. that care was exer-
cised in expenditures and full value re-
ceived: he expressed the belief that II
showed a more thoughtful consideration
Of the people than other types OF gov
ernment.
After all, he said, government is a
matter Of human relationship.

In his talk, MIR Freeman said that the
city manager plan simplifies the govern
mental machinery and makes it possible
to get results far superior to those which
are possible under mayor and council
plan.
In touching upon the matter Of tax
rates. he said that It was not so much a
question Of reducing tax levies. but in

Annapolis Hazing.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-With the dis
missal OF q second midshipmsn from the
Annapolis Naval Academy, Secretary
Daniels today declared his intention Of
r continuing the war against hazing until
the practice is thoroughly stamped out.
The dismissal Of the second student
was announced following a conference
between Daniels and Admiral Scales. sup
erintendent OF the academy. Daniels
would not say whether others are to be
dismissed soon, but it is known the
actions Of many men are under investi-
cation and that Daniels and Scales have
determined to adhere to their policy Of
dismissal as soon as two acts Of hazing
are established.
Whether Congress viii conduct an in
Vestigation Of the hazing is uncertain. If
the matter comes up, it probably will
be in connection with the naval appro-
priation bill rather than by formal IN
Testigstion, IL is believed here.

CABINET AS
PART OF GO.
P TICKET?
Suggested That Harding
Announce Advisers Be-
fore Election.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus

Chicago, June 16.-Democrats
may be feeling joyful over the
choice of q conservative like Sen
ator Harding for the Republican
presidential nomination but il they
imagine the Republicans are going
to the country on the personality
Of MIR. Harding alone they are very
much mistaken.
Politicians Are still here and
managers are already planning.
And the big drive the Republicans
will make is ON the character OF
cabinet and advisers whom Senator
Harding will select. Everybody who
knows Senator Harding will prob
ably admit that first Of all he is
not an impulsive man nor q de-
cisive individual. Nor Is there any
thing in his makeup approaching
the arbitrary. But he does take ad-
vice-and seeks it, too. Therefore
the Republicans will say to their
Democratic critics that whatever
Senator Harding may lack in as
sertive qualities will be more than
made up by his calm and deliberate
consultations with the best minds
in the country.
Insists on Efficiency.
Mr.. Harding is the kind Of man
who may distribute Offices to de-
serving Republicans according to
the wishes of the campaign COM
mittee but he will draw the line
against inefficiency. AS between an
executive who happened to work
for Republican success, but who
also was efficient, and another man
of equal efficiency, Mr., Harding
would probably choose the one who
had worked for the party. But the
senator from Ohio who has been
picked by the old guard is the type
of public servant who is always
conscious of his responsibilities.
He would lay awake nights worry
ing about his job and would there
fore seek to surround himself with
the best men he could get.
There is some talk about a novel
way of approaching the American
electorate this year to emphasize
the contrast between what the Re-
publicans call one-man government
on the part of President Wilson, and
cabinet government by the Repub-
lican nominee If he is successful.
OF course the politicians see OBJ
stacles in one plan that is being
talked of but admittedly it would
help the candidate. That plan is
for Senator Harding to announce
next August or September the
names of 10 men who would be
members of his cabinet. This would
give the people a chance to see who
might manage the 10 departments
of the government. For in the dis
tribution Of executive power, the
