MilledgeviJIe would not be the live active little city it i- without colleges. The people of Milledgeville should and d« feel the deep*: est in them. Both colleges are doing a great work for Milledgeville, Bald win county and Georgia. Running the government of « city is a great responsibility, and it is not to he treated lightly. The expendi ture of the people's finances should be safely guarded, and it requires judgment, skill and experience to do suring that every departm in the har ds of capable men who will have to deliver the goods or he re placed by men who can perform the The first city to adopt the | manager plan was Staunton, V: l.*0H. The city was heavily indebted, , the council was split and strong poii- ; tical factions were at war with each other. The people were nbt getting 1 results and members of the council who had the welfare of the city at heart and who were business men of rare experience, designed the plan of operation of the city affairs along the lines of their private business, electing a board of directors who in turn named a manager for the bu«i- ne.-s of the city. Staunton within twenty years has paid all debts, owns its own water plant, its own power plant, its street railway system, two large parks nnd is operating in a most progressive way with a sinking fund of over twenty-five thousand dollars. "He has withstood every scheme to place the great water power of New York in the hands of private in terests, and in the face of unyielding opposition and repeated defeats, he is still working on a plan by which a semi-public corporation can bi tablished to supply power to farms and industry. He wold give this cor poration tax exemption in order that it might operate more cheaply than private power companies can. “He supported steadfastly the for- eign policy of the Wilson administra tion and defended it when it was n<>t popular to do so. He stands today precisely where he did when he in troduced Woodrow Wilson to a great audience in the Metropolitan theater in March, 1919. Said he: ‘Whatever may dc the cross-fire of opinion there is one thing that we are all agreed upon, and that is that Amer ica will not have completed her part in the great word conflict until she h is done everything possible to pro ven the recurrence of the death, the The Staunton plai endorsed misery, the suffering, the ’ by students of government und i organizations all over the country; and ha« been adopted by more than war.” 100 cities. The chief advantage of the City PREACHING AT MONTPELIER The Union Recorder believe* that State house offices should he elected for a term of four years. This way of an officer having opposition when he ha* 1 not served hut a year of his term -hould stop. Nothing of conse quence can he accomplished in one year’s time. The editor of the Union Recorder! has always been against the liquor traffic. He never putHonizbd the saloons, ::nd. since they were outlaw ed. ha> not bought a drop of liquor from the distiller or bootlegger.

THE CITY MANAGER PLAN OF GOVERNMENT City Government r.as been and is in the olutio have been made and changes are rapidly taking place whereby the citizens can get the most for their money and a high type of efficiency maintained und the political influ ence eliminated from municipal af fairs in order to insure constructive Jus*, what the fundamental require ments that a good city government must .-atisfy .are concrete. It must render sufficient and satis factory service to the citizens at a price they can afford to pay. It must he democratic and representa tive. it must reflect and quickly re spond to the wishes of the people in carrying out the policies the majority desire.-. Its organization must he simple, showing clearly and directly the lines of authority and account ability to the end that the desired policies may In* carried out quickly and satisfactorily und that the cit* - zen- may easily follow its operation and know where to place responsi bility.

Under the city manager rdan. a commis-ion or counc- »f three to seven members, depending upon the size of the city, is elected. The Coun cil pusses all ordinances, levies all taxes, approves all budgets and make appropriations to carry it out. nnd determines all the city’s policies. The members of the council may be re called by the people for act- or legis lation inconsistent with the wishes of the people. The council is charged with the election of the city manager, a train- ed executive, who U experienced in handling city affairs. He is respon sible to the city commission for the Manager plan j.> the separation policy determining and policy execu tion.

The Rich mond News-Leader says of him: “Smith hua met New York City’s housing shortage with legislation that provides a state housing hank, through which the building corpora tions that agree to limit their divi dends can issue ami market bonds. He also has procured the enactment of Iau*s allowing these housing cor porations to condemn land. He con sider- this program less than half complete, because of the continued Republican opposition. He has aroused the legislature to rc liberal support of public educa tion, ami has had 'he appropriation.-' raised from S9.OOU.000 to $82,500,- r. with a complete and glo- riuns revolution in the whole public school system of New York. “lie has met with courage every attempt to make the court political, and he reappointed to the appellate division of the supreme court a dis tinguished Republican judge, though by so doing he left that tribunal with a majority of its members Re publican*. “He has reduced New York’s 200 hoards and commissions to fourteen departments, the heads of which con stitute a cabinet that meets with him every two weeks und is directly answerable to him. “He has refused to permit poli tics to control „r religion to enter into his appointment of department head.
