CITY Manager Idea

Federal reports reflect a gain IN
the city manager idea. Despite the
fact that the plan is more popular,
it is still on trial and experience has
not demonstrated entirely that 1t IS
the cure for inefficient and slovenly
city government. That there Is de-
cided trend toward the city man
ager, however, is significant and
worthy of earnest study.
This year nine rather important
cities have adopted the plan. San
Diego, Cal, Asheville, N. c.. and CAL
gary, Canada, are among the largest
Nearly $50 cities in the United States
operate under the scheme.
Less than 10 per cent of those
adopting the plan have abandoned
it. That is some measure of its sue
cess. Those cities abandoning 1t
probably never should have adopted
the plan, for not all cities are suited
to such a scheme of government.
After all, the responsibility must be
upon the elected officials with whom
the city manager confers, as a pri-
yate business agent does with his
board of directors. Success OF the
city manager plan lies to a great de-
-, to 0fr nin1-
elect to serve with the city manager.
In theory at least, the city man
ager idea should be the best method
of city government, but in practice it
is not always So Local conditions often
initiate against this form of gov
ernment and the selection of man
ager IS not always a wise one.
The National Municipal League,
strongest and most active advocate
of the system, defines it as follows:
THE voters elect the members
of the council, who in turn ap-
point and may remove the city
manager, a trained administrator
and not a politician. He in turn
appoints and may remove all
heads of departments, and, sub
ject to civil service provisions, is
responsible for the appointment
and removal of all other officers
and employees in the adminiStra-
tive service of the city.
while the council may remove
the manager at any time, it may
not interfere with him in max
ing appointments or removals;
neither may the council give Or
ders to any employe in the ad-
ministrative service of the city
except through the city man
ager."
This sets forth succinctly what the
idea is and how it most generally op-
crates. Those advocating the plan
believe it reduces political pressure
upon public servants and allows
them to function along efficient
lines. The theory upon which the
city manager goes is that he is moth
ing but the agent Of an important
corporation and appointed to watch
expenditures and get the most fol
the tax dollar.
The plan is under severe trial just
now and the next year or so should
give the city manager idea the same
searching test which other forms o1
public administration are feeling.

She was established on his knee
now. His lips were on tho white

struggling one shoulder in the d.

He laughed aloud at this. "Not a

you ever"
Suddenly she said II must get

searched. She picked up the little
blue volume and rifled its pages. A

He swept her close. Look here

her high in the air and strode ur

arms. Down the hall to Lanes
room he went. The faint rose light
was still burning. He set her down
gently.
CHE stood facing him, eyes down

She looked up, proud and glad
at the word. "I've never really
dared to call you that"
He drew her to his heart. Very
softly he said. "You'll dare to now
wont you?"
"Oh. yes, yes!"
She was glad to know love could
be like this, a perfect thing without
terror. With Van she had fell

The load that had lain on Lanes
heart lifted inexplicably. She
smiled.
"Why does 1t not matter? Why
do you think so?"
He shrugged. 1T can't matter to
you awfully what I do. You're al

Liane sighed impatiently. She sat
down on the velvet stair. tucking
her foot in its little gilt mule be-
meath her as a child does. Must she,
she wondered, tell this man every
thing? Couldn't he see with his
own eyes?
Give came and sat beside her.
II do care what you do" Lame
hugged her thin robe with its cas-.

shivered slightly. The spring night
was growing cool.
"Am I to take that seriously?"
She turned to him, her soft eyes
alight. "Of course I care what you
do. It matters to me most fright

He stood there, arms folded, still
incredulous. "Duty. perhaps" he
muymured. But not-affection."

motion to him to sit down beside
her. "Do let's talk this out here

He brought her a thin wool robe
from the oak chest and wrapped it
around her before he would consent
to settle down. Lane pushed the
bright drift Of her curling bronze
hair away from her forehead and
looked straight into his eyes.
"I'm dreadfully fond Of you. You
must know that" she began softly.
He made an impatient movement.
"Ah. fond!"
She sighed family. Would nothing
make this mulish young man under

put her head on her arm with an
abrupt gesture. It suggested tears.

AS Big Lead in Flag Race Due
To Collapse of Western Teams

In the National League the leading
team. st. Louis, has had stiff competi-
ton from the Eastern clubs. There Is
a better balance between East and West
in the National League. There you
have one Of the principal reasons why
the American League has been winning
the championships and the National
League has been making the money in
recent years. A close fight brings out
the fans.
Not many years ago American League
partisans Dragged because it could stage
closer races than the National League.
Every time the Giants won a pennant
the radicals used to say, "Aw, well, the
National League couldn't live II New
York didn't win the pennant!" The
league has managed to exist. and that
was really buncombe criticism.
Enemies of Ban johnson, late presi-
dent of the American League, once gave
circulation to reports that he ordered
trades in teams so the race would be
properly balanced. He certainly never
did any trading for the Athletics Once
he forbade a trade, when Carl Mays
was sent to New York, and he lost the
case in court.
Presidents of leagues never have any
thing to do with the pennant races.
