RAPID CITY ADOPTS
MANAGER SYSTEM

Although South Dakota has for
several years had law which per-
mits the adoption of he city mana
ger plan of city government which
has been used quite extensively in
eastern cities, it remained for Ra-
pid City to first adopt the plan in
this state, which it did at an cleo
tion last week by a majority of
more than two to one. Under the
system, the city hires an expert IN
city government at a competent
salary, and turns over to him the
management Of the city's affairs
which he is supposed to handle ex-
actly as abusiness institution. The
board of commissioners exercise
only supervisory control much like
the directors of a corporation.
In passing we may remark that
our neighbor has had a somewhat
checkered expel ience in adopting
various plans of city government.
About twelve years ago Rapid City
operated under the aldermanic

off at the present time if they did
not own our property. And the
banks would be good deal better
off too.
And right here we wish to add
a further remark. The saving Of
money is not all of thrift. Indeed,
we sometimes think that it is Il
small part of it Keeping out of
debt is large share of thrift. We
can't get on without borrowing, of
course, in any country, much less
in a new country like this, But
III Iffaahkon comfy, it it has been the
general plan to borrow just as
much as we could at high rates of
interest, and spread it thin over
as much property as possible. We
all admit that this is a ruinous
policy, but we go right on follow
ing it just the same.
Every little while some fellow
rises up and says that no one ever
made a dollar in Haakon county
except on borrowed capital. Some
men have made money borrowing
but ten times their number have
gone broke at it.
Then it is part of thrift to dc
things on a modest conservative
scale. Boring with a big auger'
has been the curse of this com.
munity. A man won't content
himself with two thousand dollars
worth of milk cows and hare
work. He wants to be a cattle
king and have four thousand

plan, two councilmen having been
elected from each ward. In 1909
the commission form of govern
ment was voted in and five COM
missioners were elected from the
city at large. This form resulted
in a number Of factional quarrels
and several recall elections were
held. Being unsuccessful The at
tampts to recall the board men,
bers of one faction set out to vote
on three commissioner plan,
(which was no more or less than a
recall and the taxpayers voted in
favor of the adoption of the three
commissioner plan. This plan was
voted on in 1916, and the citizens
came to the realization that the
best interests of the city demand
ed less facti0nal fighting and more
harmony. There were no recalls
lnder the three commissioner plan,
until the City Manager Plan was
brought up, and this served as a
recall Of the plan and not of tthe
commissioners directly, although
the commissioners will automat-
ically retire with the election Of

HAAKON COUNTY NEEDS
THRIFT MOST OF ALL

When some one asked us to lena
hand in the observance of Ma
tional Thrift Week, itstirred us up
with a vengeance Subscribers
may stop their paper; we may get
hung; but we mean to say some
things that ought to be said.
In Haakon county we have quite
generally dispised the man who is
thrifty and blessed with saving
habits. habits and and have held held him up to
public scorn. Here in the west our
slogan is, Come easy, go easy; let
aus have a heIuva time while the
money lasts Any one who does
not fall in with that belief is not
a good fellow, nor a patrick and
should be run out of the country.
Yet there are some thrifty folks
in Haakon county, some savers, a
good many of them rough-hanaed
hard-working Scandinavians, and
these fellows are not financially
embarrassed today. They may
have little, but what they have is
their own. 1t doesn't belong to the
banks or their collaborators. And
we find no fault with these gen
tlemen. Nor do we foolishly jump
onto the banks Heaven knows
where we would be at the present
moment il it were not for our
banks. Yet the fsct remains that
a good many of us would be better

equity in fifty thousand dollars
worth Of cattle. That is the style
of the country.
Then it must not be forgotten
that hard W, rk is also a part of
thrift. 1t is quite generally for
gotten in this county. We want
to fold our hands, sit on our
chairs, and make money easy. We
want to buy a farm, sell it to an
Easterner, and make q Wad, with
out improving it or turning a
hand. Some of the real estate men
can do that. but most Of us are
not smart enough. Or we want
to buy young steers at ninety dol
lars per head and watch 'em grow
into money" So far we have not
been able to find any one that
could make money out Of that
scheme.
Then still saving, keeping out
Of debt, starting on a small scale,
and working hard is not all of
| thrift. There must be headwork.
And it mustn't be by the other
| felolw. If you let the Newspapers,
and the lawyers, and toWn-folks
generally do your thinking for you
f. you will land in the poor-house.
If you let the banks do your think
ing for you--God help you; He al
Zone knows where you will land
| Every mothers son of us must do
his own cogitating over his own
problems, There is no other road
to success.
These are not all, but they are
some of the cardinal points in the
gospel of thrift. Save money, de-
posit it in your bank at interest
until you need it, make progress
slowly, keep out of debt just as
much as you possibly can, work
hard, and do a little thinking oil
your ownv-that is the way to sue
cess in Haakon county.
But some one says that the task
is too hard; it wont work in this
country; Haakon county is differ
ent, and to make money out here
you must do differently. Well, we
didn't create these laws If thrift

tn Dakota, when the world ends
They are universal, and if they
won't work here, then the sooner
we turn the country back to the
Indians from whom we took it, the
better off we will be. Consider

STANLEY COUNTY BOOSTERS
PURCHAS OIL RIG.

1t is apparent that this is not
the only community that may ex-
pect oil development with the COM
ing spring Over in Stanley coun-
ty a drilling outfit has already
been purchased and shipped.
Witness the following from the
latest issue of the Fort Pierre
Times:
As a result Of the toru of the
oil fields in Oklahoma and Wyom-
ing last July F. G. Fischer, w. Fl.
Frost and /. M Geyer, Mr.. Geyer
has just returned from Lusk, Wy
oming, where he purchased for
the South Dakota Development
and Refining Co, a complete new
drillingt outfit, including the best
standard rig, capable of drilling
4,500 feet, with new ropes and
cables, an Sd foot derrick, oil,
water and wagon tanks and such
other equipment as is necessary in
well drilling.
Three cars will be used in trans
porting the outfit to Fort Pierre,
and work win be stared at once in
getting it in place and actual
drilling will be started early in
the spring. The exact location of
the well has not been determined
but it will probably be within 20
or 80 miles of For Pierre. The
arrival of the rig will create new
interest in our oil development and
