DEVELOPMENT OF THE
CITY MANAGER FORM

The gradual introduction of mod
ern ideas of governmental organiza-
ton and administration in city gov
eraments during the last twenty
years has brought about marked in
crease in practical efficiency, accord
ing to a report issued today by the
civic development department of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States. This report presents a COM
pilation of the various forms Of lnu-
nicipal government in operation in the
United States, prepared in response
to inquiries received from civic or
CARNATIONS for information on this
subject The report was compiled
for the benefit of member organiza-
lions of the chamber, without any in
tention of advocating a particular
form of municipal government.
''The earliest form of municipal
government in this county-and to-
day the most prevalent-is the feder-
al" says the report. "Under this
plan local legislation is delegated to
a popularly-selected board or council
and the responsibility for the exc
eutive of such legislation is in the
charge of a may and other city Of
ficials, some of whom are elective and
some appointive. The origin Of the
federal plan of city government, as

found today in American cities, may
be traced back to the municipal insti-
buttons of England and Holland, but
the present form has been largely
developed in such early American
cities as New York, Boston and
Philadelphia. The influence of the
national constitution is shown by in
corporation of the principle of the
separation of powers in the various
municipal charters.
board Of estimates, New York may
claim to be the first American city
to adopt the theory of government by
commission. The term commission
government however, is of later
origin, having first come into prom
inence when the city of Galveston,
Texas, decided upon certain changes
in its form of government. With the
city in ruins after the flood of 1900,
the Galveston citivens decided that
speed in reconstructing their city was
a first essential. To achieve this
end a commission" of five exper-
fenced business men was elected and
given exceptionally broad powers and
responsibility in the conduct of pub
lie business.

in response to urgent need and it
was to be expected that defects would
appear. Des Moines, Iowa, in chang

toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and

Those subject to. sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form Of stomach trouble, are
urged to get quarter pound or lime

and begin enjoying this morning IN

women who try this become enthu-
siastic and keep 1t up daily. 1t is a
splendid health measure Tor 1t is more
important to keep clean and pure on
the inside than on the outside, because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing disease
while the bowel pores do.
The principle of bathing inside Is
not new, as millions of people practices

AVERAGE INCOME TO FARMER
ON DAIRY COW $1,000

The average income to a farmer
on the dairy cow is $110, according
to figures compiled by the Deere and
Weber company, manufacturers OF
farm machinery. The profit varies,
but it will average $50 per cow.
Dairying and hog raising go hand
in hand, as hogs consume the by
products of butter and cheese pro-
duction. Dairying, hog raising and
production of chickens is increasing
rapidly in the northwestern states.
Where farmers are dairying the
company has had a good business this
year, according to a trade letter just
received by A. Shaw and company of
this city. Mr.. Shaw is one of the
advocates of better farming methods
in this county and is a director in
the Musselshell County Livestock as
ISOLATION, which plans to finance the
purchase of dairy cows for farmers
in this vicinity.
Other figures compiled by the
Deere and Weber company show that
Montana has 10000 dairy COWS, with
gain of 1872 per cent between 1910
and 1920. There are 81 creameries
in the state and 209 cream stations
where a man is stationed for the pur-
pose of buying, weighing, testing and
shipping milk Twenty-Five of these
cream stations ship to creameries in
other states.
