MILLER ON COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERNMENT There is an active doniand on Coos Dny for literature concornlng tho commission plnn of city government. Tho following article by'Josoph Dana Miller In tho Pnclflc Monthly for Sop - tomber will bo Interesting nnd ilium- hinting ''Tho latest hopo of municipal ro formors Is tho commission Irian. Tho namo 'conimlsslon' is unfortu nate, for it Is not strictly n commis sion, but a council olected by tho city at largo, ward Hues bolng eliminated. With Des Moines tho plan niay bo Hald to have reached Its porfoct de velopment, excepting only tho Grand Junction plan to bo noted lalor. In this city live commissioners nro olec ted to sorvo two years, ono of whom acts as mayor, tho others as heads of departmonts. This favore tho concentration of responsibility In tho commission nnd direct responsibility in tho heads of departments. It se cures greater clucioncy, and to this efficiency Is added dombcracy by a law which mny call for tho submis sion of all measures to a direct voto of tho people. "Oalveston had preceded Des Moines In tho adoption of tho com mission plan by a number of years. Uut tho Galveston lilnn did not pro vldo for tho inltlatlvo and referen dum and tho mombors of tho com mission had at first been nppolntivo and not olectivo. Of courso with thflt kind of commission government ninny of tho students of tho prob lem lind been long familiar. Mom phis, nftor tho yellow fovor epidemic of1878, had boon govornod by a com mission appointed byvtho governor "But this was not tho kind of gov ernment that wbb wanted, nor oVcn tho klnd'thnt Mr. J. Q. Ddrryhlll was looking for. Hut It was during, a. visit to Galveston that Mr. Ilorryhlll bocamo Intorcstod In tho plau and ho reported it to tho Des Moines Com- inoiclnl Club. "Tho Iowa Legislature at first ro Jcctcd contemptuously a law enab ling Des Moines nnd other cities of tho stato to organize under tho cbm misslon plan, but later ndopted a much moro swooping monsuro bo- causo Btato-wldo sontlmont had been evoked. Thoro had boon no general roforendum on tho question, but thoro was' no mistaking public son tit mont. Of tho plnn na porfected it mny bo anld that in Its general out lines it wna Rtiggosted by Oalveston, Hint tho recall provision was bor rowed from Los, Angolos, that vtho broador roforendum lind existed In In.wn.,updor nn old statute and that tho. charter of tho City of Dallas sug gested tho Inltlntivo and roforendum. "Tho Oalvoston plnn romoved tho conduct of tho city govornmont from tho control of its cltlzons. Tho com mission onco choson was absoluta during Its term of office Hut tho frnmors of tho Des Moines chnrtor woro quick to sco that without tho submission of its nets for revision by tho voters tho plan wns utlorly un democratic. To bo suro Galveston had secured good and ofilclont gov ornmont undoi Its plan. I)ut this Is poaslblo undor nlmost nny nrrnngo mont until, undor tho strnln of too gront a burden of authority,, Indiv idual character or capacity breaks down. "Tho government of Dca Molnca rosomblos tho dlrcctorato of n groat business corporation. It Is compos ed of n council choson nt largq by tho wholo city of flvo heads of de partments ns follows: First: Dopnrtmont of publlo af fairs. Second: Dopnrtmont of accounts nnd figures. Third: Dopartment of public safety. Fourth: Dopartment of Streots and public Imp.-ovomonta. F'fth: Department of pnrke nnd public proporty. ''The mayor la tho head of tho do partment of public affairs, and tho commission elect ono of tholr number- to bo tho head of each dopart ment. Thoy then proceed to olect tho city cleric, assessor, treasurer, auditor, city physician, marshal, chlof of the flro department, etc., thoy fix salaries, ongago and dla chargo public officials, net as a civil aorvico board; mako appropriations and spend thorn; legislate and oxo cuto tho laws thoy frame, all tholr acts, however, bolng subject to public rovlslon. Surely no civic body liaa over been given such widely oxtond ed powrs In n city of ninety thous and.

Tho city government is more cleanly, moro moral, moro elllclent. and tho tax levy has av eraged two and seven-tenth mills less 1 than under tho old ordor. Thoro has been a civic awakening, nnd fow citizens of Des Mollies would bo will lug to go back to tho old system. " Thoro Is ono objection honrd, which mny nnd probably will bo ob viated later oh. That Is, that tho commission should bo chosen by tho people ns heads of tho particular de partmonts ovor which thoy aro to pre side. Tho candidates may havo spec ial abilities which will bottor fit thorn for tho conduct of ono dopnrt mont than nnother, and thus should bo chosen with special rcforonco to that dopartment. "Any citizen mny becomo a candi dato for mayor or councilman. The only requirement Is a petition of, twonty-flvo cltlzons. Tho nnmo now goes on tho ballot at tho primary in alphabetical ordor. It la not nec essary for him to spend a dollar. At both tho primary and tho final oieotlons tho voter may voto for ono enndidnto for mnyor nnd four can didates, for cotincllmon. Thoro nro ton nnmca on tho tlckot. Thoro can bo no partlzanahlp, for thero la no party ticket. ' "It was Governor Cummins who added tho doublo election clauao by which any ono having tho necessary twenty-fivo signatures could bo voted for nt tho primary, tho two having tho highest nu'tribor of votes for mnyor nnd tho oifjht having tho high est number of votes for councilman bolng' .(ho candidates at 'tho final election two wcoks later. This ro ducea tho possibility of tho olection of corrupt or Incompetent officials to a minimum. "Sponcor trnooB tho evolution of forma from tho slmplo to tho com plox, and again from tho complox to the atmplo. TIiIb applies to social forms as well as to processes of evo lutionary growth olsowhoro. It may not bo wholly fanciful to traco tho genesis of city government from tho fllmplo forma prevailing in Florence, Von I co and Genoa to tho moro com plox dovolopmont of Joday and thanco to tho slmplor forms of commission plnn. Tho InBt is Important ns In cluding n recognition that tho city Is an organic wholo nnd not a dividod ontlty, and to that oxtont tho JJes Moines system Is nn Improvement over tho old. "Tho plan has 'brought about re sults which as wo havo Indicated, commend themselves to tho citizens: nmong which nro tho abolition of wnrd linos nnd tho dlaappoarnnce of tho wnrd boss; tho abolition of party lines nnd tho dlaappoaranco of tho party boss; anil n far greater ex tension of tho cIvil-BorvIco system; corporations nro said to bo leas fear ful Blnco thoro nro no city officials to brlbo, to trndo nnd Introduco strike bills; citizens aro at easo be causo ovory frnndhlso must first bo endorsed by populnr voto. For tho second ttmo within Its history, Dca Molnea has llvod within its means. Starting with n handicap of $180,- 000 left by n formor administration, tho year 1009 endod without exceed ing a nlnglo appropriation, nnd with monoy left ovor In suvoral of Its funds. "Tho Grand Junction chnrtor is nn ndvnnco over all tho plana of city govornmont by commission. It doos not provldo for tho doublo election. Under It thoro Is but ono olection, unliko Des Molnea. Ono of tho moat difficult things, as experience has proved, la to mnko n primary law that shall not possess gravo disad vantages. When n number of nomi nees are voted for there Is a Btrugglo In which monoy and Influonco con spire to placo, ns proforred candi dates at the socond election, men who may bo undoslrablo. It mny thoreforo resolve ItBolf Into a con test In which money is nn Important factor. This 'h 'not posalblo undor the slnglo-olectlon-'and "preforontlal votlng" of tho Grtnd Junction char tor, whoro any twenty-five men may securo tho nppenrnnco on tho official ballot of the namea of their candi dates. Tho voters thon choose their nomlnoca inuho ordor of tholr prof erenco, If any nomlnoo In tho first column has a majority of the YOtcs ho la declared elected. If a candi date has not enough votes In tho first column to eloct, thon tho votes In the- second column are added to those of tho first, nnd to tho votoa In tho second column aro added tlio votes In tho third column. Thus is secured tho rulo of tho majority, since It la hardly posalblo that a min ority candidate can bo successful. Every candidate must bo olected by a majority of tho votoa rather than a plurality. "Tho Grand Junction charter pro vides what other city charters oven that of Dea Molnea fall to Include and that la tho principle of tho common law. It defines tho city's nnwars. rlcrhta and liabilities, and provides for tho city's acquisition and operation of. any or all of, its nrlvato utilities now privately owned and operated. Tho heads of depart ments boar titles practically tho sarao as the Dea Molnea' heads, but thero Is ono which la curiously illustrative of a touch of Idoallam the depart ment ,(4) of health and civic beauty. At this both ward leader and civic roformer who thinks municipal gov ornmont a problem of business niore ly, will smile Indulgently." Mr, MUlor says that thoro Is a list of 90 oltlos In tho Unltod States which havo adopted the commission plan'but whose governments are not soon be added sovoral more which have voted for tho adoption of tho plan but tho governments aro not yet in operation. BEWARE OE THE m ; N SO.ME IMPORTANT PACTS FOlt THE HOUSEWIFE IN' BUYING CANNED FUU1TS. Downro of tho swollen can. When buying cannod fruit and tho llko nover buy a can that hda Bides that aro beginning to bulgo. This is a suro Blgu that polBon lurks within. A local grocor gave tho market re porter Bonio Interesting facts this morning about tho poisoning that ro suits from oatlng canued fruit. "Thoro is no uso of anyone over bo lng poisoned from eating cannod fruit. 'Tho poisoned articles always glvo a warning and it people only would rend thcao warnings thero would bo no poisoning cases for tho doctors. I think it ia ignorance In the majority of cases. In tho first placo it tho fruit is In very bad shape tho can will always swoll,.that Is tho sides will bulgo out., This Is n decided warning and grocers will nover sou such a can to a cuatomar If thoy notico It. It tho fruit la not In a highly poisonous condition! nnd only slightly tainted tho can may not havd bulged but as soon ub n holo la mado In tho can tho Juico will squirt out. Whon this happens tho fruit nov er should bo oaten na this Is a warn ing that also should bo observed. "Thoro Is ono oxcoptlon to this rulo of tho swollon can and -that lo whon thoro aro seeds Jn tho can. For Instance if a can of i white .cherries, or grapes has become swollen thoro la no danger and tho fruit la perfect ly safe. Why do tho-seeds: mako any dlfforenco? Well, that's a queatlon I can't ntiBWor, but it la so 'neverthe less. "Wo cannot always on picking up a swollon enn toll what caused' Jt to bwoII. Of .course It Is e fomenta tion of the fr.ult Insldo and many times cnusod by a holo In the tin so tiny that tho Juico will not leak, out yet largo enough to ndmlt air -and causo fermentation.
