dustrial Council, with more than 300
affiliated bodies representing mem.
bership of more than 100000 mem
bers, have entered upon Get-Out-
the-Vote campaign,
In making the announcement John
e. Edgerton, president of the Nation
al Association of Manufacturers, said
the effort would be non-partisan and
in the broad spirit of urging everyone
to go to the polls and vote-vote as
they please-but VOTE!
All classes of citizens look upon the
dwindling interest in elections as 4
retrogression of civic consciousness.
and in proof of this the manufacturers
point to the following statistics to
show the trend of public apathy:
In 1896, so per cent of the voters
cast their ballots.
In 1900, % per cent cast ballots.
In 1908, 66 per cent.
In 1912, 81 per cent.
In 1920, less than SO per cent cast
ballots.

Declare Bone Bill Is
City Political Measure

Declaring that the Bone Bill, to be
voted on by the people in November,
is not power conservation measure,
as many Of its proponents claim, tax
payers organizations, business men,
members of the electrical union and
others are conducting campaigns
against it.
They declare that the bill known as
Initiative So instead of providing for
competition between publicly and pri-
vately owned utilities, expressly
clears the way of all competition and
sets up a monopoly of the light and
power business of the entire state, un.
der the unrestricted control of city Of
ficeholders and politicians
Taxpaying organizations from the
country districts point out that the
bill grants the cities of Seattle and
Tacoma the right to condemn private
ly owned power property in any and
all other cities of the state. Another
section of this bill expressly prohibits
any such other city from ever retak-
ing such property, for its own use.
They say that no other city or section
Of the state would have any voice in
the election or appointment Of the Sc
attic or Tacoma officials placed in
control of the light and power
monopoly by the Bone Bill. They say
that under the bill these city politi-
clans would be free from state regula.
ton as to service or rates.
They point out that the bill grants
the commissioners elected power to
Issue both general and utility bonds
and TO levy special assessments to
raise the huge sums of money neces,
sary to carry out the condemnation
plans
Opponents point out that condem
nation of power properties now in
private ownership would not add a
single horsepower to the resources of
any community. The bill would mere.
ly transfer the ownership, remove
these properties from the tax rolls,
relieve them of regulation as to ser.
vice and rates, kill competition, and
give shifting officeholders of the two
cities free hand to raise taxes and
incur unlimited debt.

The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1924-11-12

Clavel in the University of Michigan
Daily October IL, 1924, is that the
winner, M. Fernand Maurette, is pro-
fessor of economic geography at the
Ecole des Hautes Etudes Com
merciales and assistant secretary of
the Ecole Normale Superieur. This
is one of the most famous French
institutions of higher learning, COM
parable to Harvard or Michigan rather
than to an American normal school
The plan is not the first venture into
print of M. Maurette as there are a
dozen or more books to his credit.
The international distinction of the
winner is attested by his recent ap-
pointment as head of the scientific
department of the International Bu-
reau of Labor at Geneva.
The error arose from the fact that
the French term "surveilant," which
can be translated "watchman," re-
fers rather to duties connected with
watching over examinations, academic
supervision, or charge, and not to the
duties of night Waterman or jani-
tor
1t is to be hoped that nothing in
this note will discourage ambitious
janitors from assuming the pleasant
and possibly profitable role of peace
makers whether on a large or on a
small scale.

few weeks, you respect the place. You
see that it has no shoddy. Of course,
there is shoddy in it, but it is so small
a part of the whole that it is not
conspicuous.
But it is rather sober place. You
hear no music, for the most part, ex-
cept in the hotels and restaurants
that cater especially to Americans.
Such places form a small percentage
of the whole. Englishmen do not
care for music at their meals. The
best hotels have none. There are
doubtless exceptions, but as rule
Englishmen prefer to enjoy their
meals without the aid of an orchestra.
did not observe any anti-American
feeling in London, though I did find
plenty of misunderstanding that had
produced soreness. Whenever l found
such misunderstanding l tried to re-
move it and always succeeded in do
ing so. Englishmen are reasonable
when they understand "See-
ing Things in London"

Schools for Politicians

The time has come when we can
no more entrust the ship of state to
unframed, uneducated politicians than
we could entrust the command of the
Atlantic fleet to any well-seasoned
Gloucester fisherman who had sailed
the seven seas.
My concrete proposal is for the
establishment of a United States Ac-
ademy of Political Science which shall
be to the civil government of the
United States what the United States
Military academy is to the army, and
the United States naval academy to
the navy.
In this academy the entire person
mel of the Federal government would
be trained, excepting of course those
minor officials that are at present
competently provided for by the civil
service system.
To enable men beginning their pol
itical careers in the states to raise to
offices in the Federal government, it
would be necessary to pass laws in
the several states making it obliga-
tory for the personnel of their govern
ments to be graduated from the ac-
ademy, or from a state or other uni
versity that gave a similar course of
training.
Needless to say, any American citi-
zen, regardless of race, color, religion
or sex, who is able to pass the en-
trance examinations, should be eligi-
BILE to become a student at the ac-
ademy.
The number matriculating each
year would, of course, be determined
by the practical requirements of the
government. Each graduate would
be commissioned into the political
service. of the United States.
He would be pledged, as are the
graduates of West Point and Anna

In the Cheshire Cheese

The "Cheese" has but two bills Of
fare, one for winter and one for
summer. During winter, the great
dish is eye Famous Rump Steak,
Lark, Kidney and Oyster Pudding
with different side dishes for each
day of the week. Chief among the
side dishes is aye Famous Pudding"
In summer, the chief dish is also aye
Famous Rump Steak Pie" with pud-
ding and such fruits and vegetables
as are in season. The cooking is ex-
cellent. The food is heavy, but about
once week it strikes the spot.
Books have been written about the
old Cheshire Cheese tavern. Johnson
made it the haunt of writer's and the
haunt of writers it has ever been and
still remains. The list of the famous
persons who have visited it reads like
list of the great writer's of the last
800 years. Old Samuel Johnson put
the pith of the place in a paragraph
when he said: "There has nothing
yet been contrived by man, by which
so much happiness is produced as by
a good tavern or inn."
London is too big to be seen, just
as New York is too big. One can
see Paris, but not New York or Lon
don. l did not make any, serious at
tempt to go about in London, but in
the course of my work 1 saw a great
deal. The impression that 1 carried
away with me is that London is q
real town-a big place that is doing
big work in big way. Everybody
seems to be doing something worth
while. After you have been there a
