Myers and wife, an aged couple, yesterday filed suit for the recovery of their homestead at Wasco, which they had traded to George Barringer, a real estate dealer, aet-H9tark street, for property- at Cherryvllle. Attorney Arthur Langguth represents the plaintiffs, who are1 near the "0 year mark. They allege that land values were largely overestimated. ' ' Mr. and Mrs. Myers lived near Wasco many years, having homesteaded their J20 acres, and had It under cultivation. They were induced to trade for three acres in Cherry villa, Mr and Mrs. Myers charge Barringer first Induced them to trade the 820 acres for two lots In Mount Tabor Villa, and later Induced them to trade-these -lots - for a three acre tract at Cherryvllle. This place was represented, they say, to be a "nice little home," where they could start a store and spend their declining years. - - Trade Xs Had. Mr. Myers says the real estate dealer explained that a "nice home" in the I city woul In I ..... iiseniiii tua lng on the ranch, and that they could live easy the rest of their lives. The trade of the HQ. acresfor .the Mount Tabor Villa lots was consummated. Soon after this deal was cloaed, Mr. Myers further says that Barringer told him of th property at Cherryvllle whloh he would trade for the Mount Tabor Villa lots. Cherryvllle is located on the stag line between Boring and Mount Hood, and was said to be a growing suburb of Portland. It was represented to b worth 13000. "This deal was closed.'-". Mr. Myers . was rather feeble, and al lowed his wife to com to Portland to see the property. She planned going to Cherryvllle to see the property, but upon her arrival here last November the weather was stormy, and she took the real estate dealer's word, she says. After this deal was closed, the old cou ple moved to Cherryvllle, and Barringer took charge of the ranch. The couple was dissatisfied with the Cherryvilla . property when they first saw it, but had no place to move and had to go there, they allege. They set tled there last month. Attorney Arthur Langguth was consulted by Mr. Myers, and. an investigation began. This re sulted in a discovery of the values of the lands involved in the trade, and the suit which was filed yesterday. Attorney Langguth found the Cherry vllle property, to be worth about 1300, and that It does not contain three acres as represented.? He also found the house to bo much smaller than represented, and to be somewhat in need of repairs. An offer to reconvey ' the deeds - was made Friday, but th real estate dealer has refused. In the suit filed yester day by Attorney Langguth in behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Myers, he asks that the eourt require Barringer to award his clients the deeds to the Mount Tabor Villa property.

Wash..- March 18. What is declared by experts to be the most advanced practical plan of municipal government by commission in America Is now ln operation In Spokane. Five commissioners, chosen from among 92 candidates at a special election on March 7,t when women exercised the right of the ballot for the first time in the history of the city, were formally inducted into office on March 14. re tiring Mayor; Nelson 8, Pratt and 10 councllmen. The commission has been organised as follows: May or and - commissioner ot nubile affairs, William J," Hlndley, formerly pastor of Pilgrim Congregational church. vice chairman and commissioner of finance. Robert Falrley. formerly city comptroller ), - Commissioner of publlo utilities, Charles M. Fsssett. formerly President of the Spokane chamber of commerce. Commissioner of public works. David C. Coates, printer, former lieutenant governor of Colorado. Commissioner of public safety, Zora E. Hayden, retired lumber mill operator and capitalist . - Draw rive Thousand Dollars Salary. The first three were elected for terms of five years, the last named for three years. The salary is $5000 a year.' the bond of each being fixed at $35,000. The commissioner of public affairs appoint and supervises the city en gfneer, corporation eounnel arid inspec tor of weights and measures; the com missioner of finance controls the books and offices of the city, treasurer and auditor;, the commissioner of public utilities has charge of the city water works and power plant, street railway, te ephone and allied affairs; the com missioner of , public works has super vision of streets, pavements and sow ers, and the commissioner of public safety controls the police and firemen. The commissioners also look after ail the ramifications of their various duties and may change and alter these bv agreement. J Three civil service commissioners, to be appointed to serve without pay, de mand the merit system, examinations, probations, investigations and remov als on charges. The purpose , is to make permanent all municipal appoint ments. caHIng for special fitness, so that a faithful public official may plan a career and fit himself accordingly, without fear of displacement by dis favor. fa7or Has So Vto. Another feature of the charter is the provision for publicity. .All the meet ings are open to the public, and all or dinances and Other notices must be pub lished in the official gasette, whloh Is distributed free of charge. The mayor has no veto power. The charter provides for the Initia- "ciriium ana me re call. Fifteen per cent of the vote is required to recall any commissioner who has been remiss or unsatisfactory In his duty. The system of voting for the com missioners is ingenious. Twenty-five electors may nominate a candidate by taking an oath that he Is qualified and a desirable man, and that they desire to vote for him. ; The ballot contains the names of all the candidates in alDhahPi . lowed by spaces marked for first, sec ond and third choice. The voters mark 15 crosses on the ballot, voting for f iVe men s first choice, five others as seo- u.iu vuviue ana live as third choice, "w7ov'- "FY may vote for third choice the entire list after eliminating first and second choice. The maporlty of all-vote cast elects on the first choice. Then the votes for th candidates, who are unsuccessful In the first choice column and are in the second cholc column, are counted to select the -rest If five candidates hav ing a majority of first and second choice votes are not elected, the votes of the third choice are counted with the strag- vi mo omer iwo and the third iTnuiue selections , mi out the five. The intra ;mnce men are elected by a slm pie majority. The Spokane plan varle. t mm .n others by making the contest a free-for-all and not designating the office sought. There were.HLumlM.tu t i me beginning or the recent campaign. ucuuuoa 10 mane the race and two withdrew Just before the election. It. provides that candidates must not spend more than" $250 durinv the rm. palgn. also making it compulsory to submit an itemized statement of ex penditures, and no paid workers, car- iiHBtn or ouier conveyances are per- milieu uu election uay. Party tines Obliterated. Party lines are absolutely obliterated and-personalities are eliminated Th. candidate, must take an oath that he represents no political party In the elec tion nor any special Interests. Spokane did not win Its new govern ment without a series of stubbornlv. fought battles. Late last fall Mavor I Pith ' ri.mnrVu r naming wiiii ii rte- publican council, composed of leglsla- wonting with a Re the, and administrative branched in formally appointed a committee of busi nets men to prepare a charter under the commission form. The draft was pre sented to the city council three months afterward, but the 10 Representatives paid little-or no attention to it. A petition, signed by more than 9ft UI . m" voteis, was then sub lected. This committee embodied in it. cluster some of the best features of 100 plans In operation in tbe United States, and submitted its work to the people, who adopted it-.by an overwhelming vote at an election on December 27 1810. ' Prpceeaings for Injunction were instil tuted in the Spokane county superior court afterward. The people were pus taincd,. but that did not clear the field. An appeal wa taken to the .supreme court . of Washington, the sit Judges of which handed down a Joint opinion up holding th legality of the charter election. .

We cannot but criticise the motives of these peo ple, whoever they may be or wherever they may come from, -as It Is clearly not within their provence to attempt in any manner to make null and void the achievements on our part after so much labor. If this is a scheme to em barrass any ' of the contractors doins work in this locality, we would ask ss a matter of protection to our own inter ests, that your honorable body unite with us in an effort to ferret it out and help save us from becoming the innocent victims of their motives for self ag grandisement of pecuniary benefit."
