GOOD WORDS FROM GALVESTON.
After eight years of commission rule, Galveston to a
splendid, growing community, bearing few scars of the terrl-
ble storm which almost wiped it out of existence less than ten
years ago, and having about it no evidence of the municipal
corruption that came so near involving it in bankruptcy. The
citizens freely credit the results to the efficiency of the com-
mission system and they see nothing surprising in the fact
that men come there almost daily seeking light on this new
scheme of government, or that city after city abandons the al-
dermanic system to adopt the ftlan which has accomplished
such miracles in the city of Galveston.
Have you felt the retching, dragging agony of
sea-sickness? Has the queasy slabber wambled in
your shuddering throat like gall and wormwood,
shocking your palms and brow with the horror of
clammy sweat? Sea-sickness IS disagreeable, but
it’s a mere mild whim of the stomach compared to
the HELL OF CITY-SICKNESS. The moral nau-
. sea of that MALADY is loathsome. FAUGH 1
You know your New York—vou casual visitor
to that civic cauldron. YOU THINK YOU DO?
You know the bright, silky spots. Hotels that daz
zle; theatres, gilded and dim and scented; broad av
enues stretching out like unwound ribbons of gray
silver. The slums—yes, they are part of the com
monplace scene. Filthy abodes of hueless misery
—never a touch of the picturesque; never a per
spective of real clean human color. Ghastly but
never graphic. The sodden panel of life there is
too shy and shoddy even to care,for cheap varnish.
The blur of soiled chalk; the draggle of dingy tat
ters.
Midway!
Thera is where the BEAST prowls. The lurk
ing TIGER.
Lissom, supple, relentless—he crouches in the
centre and his circumference is EVERYWHERE.
The CITY is his prey and all must yield him
tribute—IN COIN OR CRIME.
Yes, savage ANIMAL FEROCITY, with SE
CRET GRAFT as its concealed symbol, is the drain
and shame of Gotham—proud, superb and slovenly
Gotham. When will. a cowardly citizenry find
courage to draw those, wadded claws? Not until
OPPRESSION, grown bolder and bloodier by un
restrained violence, exhausts patience and CUMU
LATIVE DESPERATION gives delirious strength
to the flaccid energies and dulled consciences of
THE PEOPLE.
The income of New York City, from taxes is One Hun-

sleep and have adopted, or are on the verge of
adopting, a BUSINESS GOVERNMENT instead
of holding to the old honeycombed SYSTEM.
But there are obstacles—brutal obstacles else
where as well as in New York.
Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland; Sam L. Jones
and Brand Whitlock, of Toledo; Hazen S. Pingree,
of Detroit; Judge Lindsey, of Denver, fevered by
the knowledge of so much municipal corruption
felt the gnaw of CITY-SICKNESS and their big,
honest, human hearts were broken and ground- to
bits by the POLITICAL MACHINE.
What keeps our cities from be
ing beautiful, sympathetic, virtu
ously regulated and invincibly pro
gressive in culture?
- What keeps our cities ugly, and
dirty, and cold, and hard, and ever
and always ruinously testing the
strength of their credit?

A DETAIL FROM DALLAS.
Prior to the change in the form of government, persistent
rumors of wrongdoing in the office of the tax collector led to
an investigation of this office by the auditing department
The result of this examination was a report in which it was
shown that the municipality owed the collector some $600. A
few weeks later, when the commissioners had entered upon
their duties and had caused a second examination to be made,
something like $16,000 was collected from the bondsmen of
this official
Under the present system, a thing of this kind would be
practically impossible, for the reason that the city auditor is
absolutely free from intimidating influences.
NOTE: We want our friends to keep writing to us on the sub
ject. Out of all the letters received not one has been inimical to
Commission Government—all emphatically favorable. If you are
busy and can’t write a letter—just send a postal and say “C. G. for

Basic And Direct” —From Today's Constitution.
HAPPY WORDS FROM HOUSTON. I
The man with a claim against the city of Houston, Texas,
when that municipality was under the aldermanic system of
government, counted himself fortunate if he could realiz;
eighty cents on the dollar. This is not hearsay. It is a mattir
of public record.
When the commissioners entered office five years ago,
July, 1905, Houston had a floating debt of about $400,000, and
its credit was such that cash had to accompany the order if a
sack of oats was ordered. City employees were paid in scrip
and claims against the municipality went begging at eighty
cents on the dollar. The city hall was synonymous of graft,
inefficiency and procrastination. ~
Within one year the commissioners had restored the cred
it of the city, paid off every dollar of the floating debt and had
transformed the city hall into a business machine whose in
spirations had become an inspiration to the whole community.
A city that does not need an increased sum of money from
year to year to carry on ordinary works of improvement and
-to meet, the ordinary expenses of running the government,
especially when an unusual measure of growth is being en-
« joyed, certainly becomes unique. Houston, Texas, 's such a
city, judged by the annual report of Mayor H. B. Rice for the
fiscal year 1910-11. In this report the following sentence ap
pears:
“I desire to state that the actual value of real and personal
property in the corporate limits of Houston is about $250,000,.
000, and yet we only assess same $62,000,000 for the simple
reason that we do not need more revenue for current ex
penses.”
'i his message, by the way, embraces reports from every
denartment of the city of Houston, showing how every dollar
of the people’s money has been expended. This is supple
mental to monthly reports issued throughout the year. Among
other things shown in the message is the fact that all previous
building records were broken in the last fiscal yeay, the total
permits issued being $4,167,793, an increase of $650,443 over
the previous year.
A DAISY FROM DES MOINES.
From an ugly, mismanaged r-d corrupt municipality, Des
Moines has emerged into a community famed the country over
for the excellence of its government, and just as surely it is be
coming one of the most beautiful cities in America. The com
missioners are not building for today, but for all time. They
are carrying forward comprehensive schemes of development
that will contribute to the delight of the generation of today
and of those to come later. A great civic center is being es
tablished on the river front, heretofore given over to rough
buildings, tumbled-down shanties and trash-littered lots. In
the middle of June the corner stone of the new municipal
building was laid upon ^the banks of the river and the stately
structure is now assuming form. When completed >'t -vlll be
one of the most beautiful structures of its kind in America,
and certainly the most unique and best adapted for the pur
pose. Its -distinctive feature is a magnificent room, occupying
practically all of the single floor. Here everv department of
the city will be thrown together, elbow to elbow, just as all
departments of a great bank are brought into close touch one
with another. Around this beautiful structure, landscape
architects have planned a park that will slope off to the river,
transforming a scar into a scene that will delight the eye.
DECENCY, JUSTICE nnd HONESTY—not
the need of money—urge that TAX ASSESS
MENTS BE FAIRLY EQUALIZED.
TAX, TAX, tax—-tax with all your might
and main. Equalize assessments AND RAISE
THE RATE, too, and then add another and still
another tax, and under the ^present- slip-shod
SYSTEM we’ll still have to FIGHT AND KITE
for more money.
Nothing can save us from repeating past mis
takes but CONCENTRATED BUSINESS METH-
ODS. '
Someone asks:
“Do you think it the DUTY of a retail
store like yours to meddle with the affairs of 1 tho
city, government ?”
“DUTY”—do we think it our DUTY?
We brush aside the question of DUTY—waive
it. But by the Sun-of-Righteousness and the
Prince of Peace, and the Lord of Lords, and the
Light-of-the-World, and the Bread-of-Life—it is
our
