DES MOINES PLAX HAS FAILED I has befn rajjini; slnng t'-ie oort, the Now that the Garden of Eden has become a battle-jfh ,h k ground those waring rulers might agree that Eye wasja responsioie 101 starting tne iuw. The so-called Des Moines plan of city government, which was pointed to as an example by many opponents of the old systems, appears to have failed. It was adopt ed seven years ago and was quite a novelty at that time, thus attracting almost as much attention as the "Galves ton plan," following the great flood in the Texas city. Councilman W. F. Mitchell of Des Moines has re signed, after branding the whole plan as a failure, a con clusion in which he seems to be backed up by a majority of the people. According to Mr. Mitchell's statement the bonded and floatine indebtedness of Des Moines has increased nearly $1,000,000 since the plan was put in force seven years ago.; The plan was heralded as one that would eliminate par tisan politics from all municipal elections, place the responsibility for the success or failure of the city gov .i-'il'i w .-.-" t jl o'nriii.ii..f, 1 vurtitnra nr tk.i ti.,.. .1 ..Inl . ..

A Corvallis man, through the Courier of that city, ad vocates the issuing of new money in large quantities by the government to be loaned to the people at 4 per cent. Splendid idea but why charge any interest at all? The government presses could turn it out at very small cost, and might sell direct to those who need it at the cost of printing. Better still would bo a law authorizing any one in need of monev to order it printed in quantities to "suit at the local job printing offices. Some of these. :p f arul TparWc nhmts. in Oregon esneciallv. are not very busy now and . 1 Al caia dmi printing money would be a lucrative job that would give employment to more printers and pressmen and assist the rising tide of prosperity to grow into the proportions of a tidal wave.
