CORPORATION FORM OF'MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT
The Statesman has advocated in three different elec
tions the commission form of government
And the writer still believes in this form; but the latest
commission form is now termed the corporation form; after
the style of the efficient American corporation; with the
mayor in the place of the president, and with $he city
council in the place of the board of directors, and the city
officials responsible to ine mayor, with the authority and
advice and confirmation and ratification of the city council.
This is prac.tically what the cabinet form of government
amounts to in the states that have adopted itlike Illinois
and Washingon

It follows," therefore, that the charter amendment put
ting the Salem chief of nolicp under Mia nnnnintrriMir nf thp
mayor, with the confirmation of the city council, should be
adopted at the polls next month. !
If we cannot have the commission or corporation form
of municipal government forSalem adopted as a whole, by

ever we have a chance. Here is a chance. Let's take it,
and keep on till we have the whole form, making for greater
efficiency and economy. Salem is doing very well, com
paratively, with her municipal affairs: but this is no reason
why we should not seek and stnvejp do still better.

debt, but on the passing of the emergency the first thought
and effort should be directed toward reduction of the debt.
This important end some of the European governments have
been slow in attempting to attain. Instead of reducing
their debts, some of the nations have been adding to their
burdens, apparently trusting to fate to get them out of their
difficulties.
Doubtless some of the nations of Europe have felt that

FUTURE DATES
There is the clearest kind of economic truth in the first
of a number of-principles set forth by allied experts as
essentials for the reconstruction of Europe. This principle
declares: , . - ' - ;
- "The essential requisite for the economic recon-
, struction of Europe is the achievement by each coun- ,
try of stability in the value of its currency. No coun
try, can gain control of its own currency so long as
there is a deficiency in the annual budget which is
met by the creation of paper money or bank -credits.
It is for every country to overcome such deficiency by
its own independent efforts.'
The ancient doctrine of self-help is thus well stated; al
though perhaps with more verbiage than necessary. "Spend
less than your income," is what the allied experts are trying
to impress upon1 all European countries as a prerequisite to
restored stability. .
There is no great mystery about sound national finances.
Government business is based upon exactly the same funda
mental principles as individual business. . The manufacturer,
the farmer, the wage earner, soon learns by experience, if
tney do not by reason, that any man who spends more than
his income is headed for bankruptcy. The man whofinds his
expenditures-exceeding his income has one .'of -1 wb alterna
tives to increase his income or reduce his, expenses. Fail
ing to adopte either, course,shis credit soon disappears and
financial disaster results. ,
The same thing Js true of governments. In an unusual
emergency either an individual or a government must incur

PLANE SAILING
Blon Arnold the traffic expert
and city planning engineer, is de

for the air service of Chicago.
His plans call for the construc
tion of vast platforms high above
the business streets and buildings
of Chicago. He would have them
supported by towers or by exist
ing buildings and have, elevator
communication with'the ground.
In that way planes could effect
a landing in the heart of the city.
