- For Roll Call.

Occur d'Alene, Idaho.-Miss Anna
E. Brakel. general field representative
for Idaho for the American Red Cross,
was in the city last week to meet with
the executive committee of the Red
Cross and confer on plans for the
Cleaoup squad. She makes special
plea that all men who were 10 the
service and have any claims against
the government 6le such claims at
once; that it was generally supposed
that the work OF the Red Cross would
be completed year after the
armistice was signed, but that there
are IL, 600 cases now receiving care
from the government, and an average
Of 1000 per month are coming In, and
all preparations should be made to
have every case ready when the
cleanup squad arrives.
The campaign for roll call will be
started on Armistice day and contin-
ued until Thanksgiving. ]. V.
Hawkins is chairman OF the roll call
committee and he will give his list of
assistants in the near future.
Miss Brakel called attention to the
work being done by the Red Cross,
and stated that 1877 chapters had been
called upon to furnish relief during
the past year. There are 1877 nurses
in the United States public health
service, she said. She urges that the
roll call be an aggressive one.

Miss Jeanette Eckman, who is
member OF the bipartisan COM
mittee. said she had a special inter-
est in the charter movement this
year. as the first civil work she had
ever done was IN connection with a
movement TO secure new city char
ter. She said that first work dis
couraged her. She then made an in
vestigation OF conditions IN other
cities. and again she was disappoint-
cd as she found that I'm those cities
where progressive government had
been started IL was only after some
disaster such as a fire or food. She
hoped this would not be necessary
in Wilmington. She spoke Of some
people trying To stave off charter re-
form. Miss Eckman said she was
somewhat of politician, but that
il was her best judgment that the
people Of Wilmington do want "a
change Of government and that she
would like to see the charter bill
pass
Former Mayor Harrison w.
Howell made one Of the best talks
Of the day. lie referred to his four
years experience as Mayor of Will
mington and said he saw the reason
for "a radical change. He said he
was also a politician and that he
thought everyone should be inter
ested in politics.
DR.. Howell said 1t was quite a
struggle fro him TO get the office OF
Mayor. that he spent half of his first
years salary to get the Office and
the other half TO get another term.
He jokingly remarked that had il
not been for the fees received for
marrying couples he would have
been bankrupt.
Dr. Howell said he tried 70 be
Mayor Of the city and not the Mayor
Of just the Republicans. His one
single idea, he said, is to do what
Is best for the city OF Wilmington.

sick Of a long lingering Illness" he
added.
Dr. Howell said there was not CO.
ordination between the various de-
partments under the present form Of
government He related an instance
of the city having money in bank
getting . per cent interest on IL and
then going out borrowing money for
which per cent had TO be paid All
the money, he declared. should go
through one hand. The speaker said
he knew OF nothing wrong in the
city government except the system
and that was certainly wrong.

the new charter would reduce taxes

persons had signed petitions for the

lieved had there been time $4,000

ter bill was the first speaker fol-
lowing Mr.. Walker lie said that
for 80 or 40 years there has been
growing discomfort in Wilmington
as to conditions and that various
movements had been started to bet
ter them.
Some months ago. Mr.. Curley said.
the movement to better conditions
resulted in the appointment Of a BIZ
partisan committee of eight MEM
bers Of each of the two parties and
that a subcommittee OF five. Of
which he was one, was named to
draft a charter bill. That had been
done and it was approved by the BIZ
partisan committee. He added,
however that some Of the members
had reserved TO themselves the right
to advocate another form of govern
ment.
The charter bill as approved, the
speaker said. was submitted TO the
combined charter committeos repre-
scnting many organizations and had
been approved by them. He referred
TO a meeting with the Wilmington
members OF the Legislature. and as
a result of changes suggested at that
meeting by Senator Robertson and
others. the subcommittee again got
to work and drew the substitute bill,
the passage of which is now being
advocated.
The substitute bill. Mr.. Curley
said. provices for Capitalization of
power in the city government II
the bill is passed. Mr.. Curlcy eX-
planned at the election next June
five commissioners will be elected at
large to serve four years each and
on their taking office all agencies
and heads Of the city government
now existing will expire and their
powers will be transferred TO the
five commissioners He said the bill
makes the board to be named re-
sponsible for any wrongdoing.
The city government under the
plan would be divided into five pub
lie departments with a commissioner
at the head OF each department The
board, the bill provides. shall ap-
point a city manager whose duty
shall be administrative and not leg
islative. The commissioners would
also choose one Of their members TO
be Mayor.
Mr.. Curley explained that In the
matter of bond issues the electors Of
the city have the power to stop a
bond issue and demand a vote by
the people on the question. He also
said that provision is made in tho
bill both for the recall and referen-
dunn The speaker concluded by
saying that in his opinion the pro-
posed bill would improve municipal
conditions in Wilmington.
Representative Virden asked Mr..
Curley whether the charter bill If il
should pass would do away with the
new paid fire department act which
has been passed by both houses.
Mr.. Curley replied that it would
but that the commissioners to be
elected could appoint. If they saw ft,
the same men named in the paid fire
department bill to have charge OF
