ness from the bottom up and then
these should go into the business
world and gain actual experience.
The next desideratum is a council
that is civic minded and in SYM
pathy with the city manager.
"The third is the public, that
should be willing to Danish cheap
politics and see that the city govern
ment is a business instead of a
game"
The city manager plan has gone
far in California, where thirty-four
towns and cities have adopted it.
In Stockton Charles E. Ashburner,
first city manager in the United
States, is employed at $4,000 year.
Ashburner began in 1908 as general
manager" of Staunton, Va, and is
known as "the father of the city
manager movement"
The News, Scripps- Howard paper
of San Francisco, is conducting a
survey looking to a campaign for
the city manager system for the

BERKELEY, Cal, Oct. 12.-"City
manager government eventually
will replace the old forms in vir-
tually all American cities of less
than 100000 population"
This is the propecy of John N.
Edy, city manager of this college
city, just elected head of the Inter
national City Maanegrs' Association.
Edy declares that the city manager
idea is past the experimental stage,
but that it must develop it's city
managersby the apprentice method.
Since 1903 the city manager idea
has spread quickly over this con-
tinent," said Edy There now are
S44 cities in the United States run
by city managers, eighteen in Can
ada and two in New Zealand Big
as well as little cities are adopting
the new system. Cleveland, Gin
cinnati, Rochester, Grand Rapids,
Dayton. Miami, Indianapolis and
other big cities have adopted the
system.
Few Return to Old Plan
TN only one city has the plan
been misapplied and operated on
the scale of partisan politics. This
is in Kansas City, where the sys-
tenn operates to the honor of the
Democratic party And in only four
cities in which the plan has been
adopted by a vote. of the people has
the old system been returned.
81 think that in all cities of
populations of less than 100000 the
city manager system would be FEAST
BILE and would bring better results
than the old system
Edy says city managers can run
cities from 10 to 20 per cent more
cheaply than under the old systems.
"But," he warns, "the city manager
plan doesn't always bring reductions
in taxes; it does guarantee that the
people will get more nearly 81 worth
OF service for 81 in taxes.
1.-THE savings and economies I'M
der the city manager plan are
greater in cities that operate their
own utilities" he added. "For in
stance, Alameda, Cal, makes a clear
profit of 100000 a year on its cleo
trio distribution system. 1t is easier
for city manager to make good if
he has some city-owner utilities I'M
der him.
Three Factors Enter
'"The city manager system depends
for success on three factors. The
first is the type of manager selected.
The biggest single group now in the
work are trained engineers, but I
think all should have had some bust
ness experience in addition.
Managers should take into their
Offices young men to learn city bust

Club Women Adopt
NOUeL Scheme For
Building Finances

Featuring the meeting Of the Bust
ness and Professional Woman's club
held Tuesday evening at the Monte
Vista Hotel was a novel idea given
by Miss Helen Sheehan and Mrs. Agnes
Pouthie for the building up of the
clubs finances. Miss Sheehan and
Mrs. Pouthie suggested that every
member of the club earn one dollar in
some mannsr-sell candy, wash dishes,
go without a shampoo or some other
such sacrifice-anything to earn a
dollar before next meeting. Members
of the club are looking forward eag-
crly to the next meeting when every
one will tell just how she earned
her own particular dollar. Miss
Sheehan in explaining her plan to the
club said that she was going to sell
candy at the next football game at
the college and at the show the club
is presenting on November %.
F. M. Gold, county attorney was
the main sneaker of the evening and
spoke on 'Law'. woman as an in
dividual and the business women
should Uphold and insist upon the
laws of the state of Arizona and the
country as whole" said Mr.. Gold.
There are many laws IN which you
may not believe" he said, "but uphold
those regardless of your personal
feelings in the matter" Mr. Gold
talked at length on the different
laws Of the land and his talk was
appreciated by the club members.
In cooperation with the local Elks,
Miss Ida G. Wilson appointed Misses
Helen Runke and Virginia Flickenger
to act for Business and Professional
Womens club in the matter of the
charity ball which is being sponsored
by the Elks.
Ticket sales for "Rose of the Tene-
ment," which the club is sponsoring,
were reported as very satisfactory
with Lena Laney holding the lead
with the largest number of sales.
Other features of the clubs pro-
gram were pepDy songs lead by Miss
Flickenger and violin selections by
Miss Clark and Mr.. Kartchner, ac-
companied by Miss Mitchell.

south highway from Utah and the

The above points were graphically
presented to the officials by Major
Wright and Supervisor Bob Moore.
It is doubtful if there is any road
of equal lengthsin the United States
with such a variety of and magnltl-
cence of scenery as the stretch from
Flagstaff through the pine forest,
through Oak Greek Canyon with its
sen1i-tropical verdure and beautiful
cliffs, into the lower canyon and its
majestic rock formations, then
through Clarkdale. the smelter city,
Jerome, big unique mining town
perched on the side of mountain and
worth travelling many miles to see;
from there over Mingus mountain
along a splendid highway with an
ever-changing panorama, to Prescott,
one Of the finest and best looking
cities in the southwest; again over
mountain ranges and across verdant
valleys to the desert this side OF the
Salt River Valley. Most of this route
has very fine roads; the Oak Greek
Canyon link is the worst; yet the most
scenic link.
-Four years ago this county appro-
priated $500 and turned it over to
the bureau Of public roads toward the
expense of a survey for the road
through the Canyon. Now it seems
we are about to get tangible results
from that survey.
Considering the entire road from the
Verde Valley cities, Yavapal county
has already spent considerably more
than 100000 building toward Sc
dona. at the lower end of the Canyon,
and has arranged to at once complete
construction clear to Sedona. Coco
nino county has spent a lot of money
between Flagstaff and the Canyon and
some in the Canyon along the route
designated in the government survey

State Engineer Lefebvre and Gov
ernor Hunt have for some time been
anxious to have the Oak Greek road
built and have used their Influence
strongly to that end. Mr.. Lefebvre
at last weeks conference was ardent
in it's support, and Messrs. Pooler,
Sweetzer, Morrison, Long and Brown,
after they had heard the matter
discussed and had studied the situ-
alton thoroughly and analysed the ar

preparation, readily admitted the
justice of them and undoubtedly now
view the project with enthusiasm
equal to that felt by the people in the
communities most vitality affected.
