HOW IT WORKS OUT WEST. Seven months’ experience with the commission form of government in Spokane, which is under the control of the people through the preferen- tial election system, the initiative and referendum and the recall, has proved highly successful. Direct effi- ciency has replaced irresponsibility and incompetency, party bossism has been eliminated, the laws are en- forced, the tax-payers are obtaining 100 cents’ worth of work for a dol- lar, municipal improvement bonds command high premiums and the city’s credit is gilt edge in the finan- cial centers throughout the country. Charles M. Fasssett, commissioner of public utilities, speaking for the commission, says the people, as a rule, are satisfied with the change and that it is doubtful if even those who were most active against the present charter would vote to return to the old system. There are some, of course, who honestly believe the old form is better, he added, but the chief opposition to the adoption of the charter and its continuance comes from those whose private selfish in- terests are being interfered with by the beneficial change in administra- tion introduced by the present gov- ernment. Enumerating the chief points of advantage of the commission form of government over the party system, Mr. Fassett says: “For the first time in its history the community is not disturbed by political wrangling at the city hall. Our commissioners often do not agree on various measures, bul differences are soon healed and there is har- mony and good feeling between them. “BEach commissioner has charge, under the authority of the whole body, of his departments and the tax- payer knows to whom to apply for his needs. The result is that busi- ness is dispatched in hours and days, where it formerly required weeks and months. “Street and other improvements are made for from 20 to 40 per cent less than in recent years, without re- ducing the city wage scale or decreas- ing our standards of quality. The contractors’ ring is broken and most of our work goes to those who have done the best work in the past. For the first time in our history a con- tractor has been fined for delaying public work. “Our tax levy will be the same as last year, notwithstanding a deficit of about $90,000 left by the former government and the settlement of the many claims and complications, neglected for years. “The various departments are 1;e- i ing managed with efficiency and com- mon sense. The water department, which has been permitted to run heavily in debt ,has been placed up- on a business footing; free water has been cut off the number of meters has been doubled in seven months, wastes have been stopped and an phere. The Atlantic fleet to be re- viewed Dby Secretary of the Navy Meyer will comprise 102 vessels of all | classes, with a total dispiacement of | 577,599 tons, and the Pacific fleet | twenty-four vessels of 116,245 mus.i The fifth interuational sanitary | conference of American republies will | assemble in Santiago, Chile, \Vednes—; Sub- | Jects of interest to every nation, in-: legislation, hygiene and the hygiene of sea, rai road and tramway traffic, will be dis- cussed. i % % Canada will observe Thanksgiving Day. The observance will take the form of a general holi- day, with military parades and ath- letic evefits in all the larger cities, in addition to the customary church day for a session of ten days. cluding sanitary social | | Monday as services. * % X Many important football contests among the colleges throughout the couniry are scheduled for Saturday. The chief interest’of all followers of the sport, however, will center in the Harvard-Princeton game at Princeton. It will be the first time adequate supply of water furnished for all purposes during the hot months, where every year heretofore there has been a famine in certain districts. “Our streets are well paved and kept clean and sewerd are main- tained; the health of the city was| never so good; public service corpo- rations are encouraged and enforced, when necessary, to give good service; back franchise taxes are collected and | the affairs of the city generally are conducted lines. along modern business “The preferential system of vot- ing, the short ballot and the elec- tion of commissioners at large, who select one of their number as mayor, are other features which have strong arguments in their favor. Hereaf- ter not more than three commission- ers will be chosen at any election, giving the voter no excuse for ignor- ance of the men or their duties. We require a non-partisan affidavit and 1estrict the use of money for elec- tion purposes to $250 for any can- didate. “By our system of voting the re- the two' big colleges have met on the sults of the election express the ‘wm of the majorlt}’ much more clnsély than could be obtained by caucus, cuuvention and ward representation. On the whole, we believe Spokane has the most advanced and characteris- tic commission charter yet adopted by any city in this or other coun- tries.” PRORVVPPOPPOOROOOQ® © Notes From the Labor World. ¢ O R R R O R O R CR R O O] Agriculture employs 43 pcr cent of all the inhabitants of France. It is estimated in England -that one woman in six earns her own liv- ing. North Dakota labor unions have decided to organize a state federa- tion of labor. Suspender workers of New York have recently gained an advance in wages of $2 a week. It is sgid that union men spend in the United States $1,500,000,000 annually for the necessities of life. The increase in the wages of train- men in the United States in the year 1910 amounted to $37,000,000. The gain in the American Federa- tion of Labor since the convention of last November has been 156,898 members of various trade unions. The average earning a day of un- ion men employed in New York dur- ing the first quarter of 1911 was was the highest on record. Labor is in political control in the Australian Commonwealth and in two states, New South Wales and South Australia, with a good chance of gaining one or two of the remain- ing states at the next election. For the first time in more than two years, all the building trade unions of Denver, Colo., are united in one cen- tral body, known as the Associated Building Trades Council of Denver and Vicinity. The number of bakery workers throughout the United States is ap- proximately seventy thousand, of which about one-third are organized in the Bakery and Confectionary workers’ International Union of Am- erica, an organization formed about twenty-five years ago. The records of the Bricklayers’, Masons’ and and Plasterers’ Interna- tional Union show that during the last ten years 98 pér cent of the dis- putes between ‘affiliated locals and ! employers, which have been submit- ted to the international officers have been peaceably and satisfactorily ad- justed According to a recent report issued by James Lynch, president of the In- ternational Typographical union, during the last fiscal year the aver- age age at death of members of the union was more than forty-nine years, an increase of more than eight years over 1900, when the average was 41.25. . The Union Label League of Den- ver, Colo., has established a com- plaint department the dutv of which is to hear complaints of members of different unions who are caught us- ing or wearing unlabeled clothes or purchasing non-union commodities or patronizing barbershops, - etc., not conducted under union rules. Agitation for the erection of a la- bor temple in St. Paul, Minn., in which all the labor organizations in that city may be accommodated, was appointed to look into certain plans by which it is proposed to raise mon- ey to start a building fund. It is expected that the committee will sub- mit a favorable report in the near future. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tab- lets.
