WHAT THE NEW RULE
WILL DO.
(From Collier's Weekly.)
The purpose of commission
government is manifest and
simple, and may be stated
briefly. It is a plan to take
from the hands of the poli
ticians the business of run
ning a city by placing the
city affairs in charge of a
mayor and a small board of
commissioners, usually four,
elected at large. The list of
virtues that have been attrib
uted to the plan would more
than fill this page. Reduced
to the simplest terms, how
ever, the claims made for the
commission government may
be stated thus:
1. More efficient and direct
popular conttol. ta) Fewer
officials to elect, making it
possible for the voter to focus
his attention on the important
policy directing officials—the
principle of the short ballot
idea, (b) Non-partisanship
in e’ections. Through this
control, the elimination of the
city boss.
2. More efficient adminis
tration organization. By its
plan of organization the mi
nor officials are brought into
proper subordination to the
responsible governing body.
A Biff for the Tightwad.
(from Tie Meitetla Neve.)
If there is anything on earth that
gives us a longing for eternal rest
and deep, damp solitude, it is the
man who comes to a towu or coun
ty, builds up a big, paying busi
ness, grows rich and then squats
down on the gold like a hen on a
door knob, and is too stingy even
to let the gravels grind in his own
gizzard.
A real, genuine 18-karat, stingy,
selfish man can't be honest, and if

Popularizing Parcel Post.
Officials of the I’ostoffice Depart
ment are planning to send agents
to county and State fairs to give
the farmers hints on the use of the
parcel post. It is an excellent idea.
This branch of the postal service
should be made as popular and as
useful as possible. It will then pay
its way and serve the ends for
which it was established. In Eng
land the parcel post brings the pro
ducer and consumer into direct re
lations. Housekeepers iu London
order their poultry and vegetables
from a farm, and housekeepers in
a village can order supplies for an
unforeseen dinner from London.
Country shoppers go home with
empty hands and leave it to the
parcel post to deliver purchases.
It should be an easy matter for
farmers to secure regular custom
ers for butter and eggs, poultry,
farm sausage, spare ribs, vegeta
bles, fruits—in fact, everything
that they produce for the table, by
inserting small advertisements in
the newspapers.
