ADVERTISING BY THE A HEREANIIRESEA! v GENERAL OFFICES > NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES —_——————— This was “some” May day. Good _morning, Mr. Assessor, this is my busy day. | One of the many popular moves madé by Governor Eberhart was the appointment of O. P. B. Jacobson as ® member of the Railroad and Ware- house commission. He comes up for election by the people this Fall and judging from the sentiment through- out the state he will be re-appointed by them. He well fills the vacancy made by the resignation of the Hon. Mr. Staples and is deserving of the solid support of the people in this section of the state. . . Ole Sageng in a speech at Detroit the other night charged the governor with packing the committees of the senate in the interest of the special interests. Well. Ole, you was a member of the senate then, ‘why is it that we didn’t hear any- thing from you at the time. Why didn’t you denounce said packing and call the “packers” ito the bar of the senate,.as did Klemmer in the ‘house some few years ago. It’s a lit- tle late now to holler.—Thief River ¥Falls Press. What Each Child Needs The days when a pupil in the pub- lic schools was only of a class and the individual needs of each child were overlooked, have passed and to- day the successful teacher is the one! ‘who most nearly recognizes and sup-i{ plies the needs of each child. At the annual meeting of the \Iat)onal' Education - association in St. Paul,: next July, much of the time of the!

PLANNING AND HEALTH. No community can afford, view- ed from an economic basis, to grow in such wise as to increase - the hazard of sickness to its peo- ple. Every dollar spent for pub- lic improvements or permitted to be spent for private gain should have a life producing result. It is almost inconceivable that any- citizen or group of citizens would sanction: plans or projects that. it carried out to their full ex- tent. would prove detrimental to public health or welfare. Cer- tainly none such would with knowledge aforethought give their approval to lines of com- munity activity that can have only the ultimate effect of under- mining public health and morals , either through restriction placed upon those natural aids for the promotion of health or through the development of such condi- tions-as will perpetuate or spread disease. Please notice that I state none would with malice aforethought so blight his com-* munity. But many do, without this unsocial spirit, project plans that have the above effect, and their action receives public sanc- tion because we see results only in terms of their immediate con- sequences. The insidious influ- ence which may come from an inanimate mass through'a long process of slow development does not impress us ‘while it is in the process of coming. Looking back over its period of growth, ‘we can gauge it, or, contrasting the state of social well being produced by it with that pro- duced by a more constructive plan elsewhere, we can estimate its cost.’ As ¢ommunities, how- ever, we seldom attain a con- ception of this cost. Only when the social engineer reveals the ugly handicaps thus ,imposed upon the city is t.here any re- alizing sense of the value of the one and the loss of the other.— ' Bernard J.

A Noticeable Feature of This Form of Government ls Its Simplicity, and It Presents Possibilities For Telling Results That Count. Under the commission manager plan of government a municipality is organ- ized as a public service corporation. and its sole purpose is service. It is a business institution devoted to the interests which the inhabitants of the city hold in common, says Charles E. Ashburner, city manager of Spring- fleld, O., in the Town Deyelopment Magazine. ‘With a commission of five members elected at large and the city business in charge of n manager who is selected by the commission, the organization of a municipality- resembles very closely that of a private corporation. One of the most noticeable features of this form of government is its simplicity, and the most attractive feature it pre- sents is the possibilities for getting results that count, and getting them directly. Under the commission manager f3tm | of government the people may have government either as good or bad as they desire. In the last analysis it rests with the peopie to decide as to the quality of service they shall re- ceive from the people upon the public payroll. If they want first class serv- ice’there is nothing to hinder their get- { ting it but their own failure to pick the right kind of commissioners. Under the commission manager form of government there is no opportunity for the shifting of responsibility from the shoulders of one employee of the people to another. Each man has his work cut out for him, and if he is not CHARLES E. ASHBURNER. the man for the position it will not‘t take long to have this shown. The ability to earn a whole hundred cents in each dollar paid him should be the sole standard by which the qualifica- tions of a public émployee are judged. and under the commission manager | form of government this standard is absolutely necessary if the government | is to produce anything iike the results the people have a right to expect from The duties of a city manager are nu- merous, but simple enough in charac- ter.” A city mapager must get results, or the commission, if it does its duty. will get 1 new manager. It is not a monotonous life by any means. The duties of the office require that itg oe- cupant must be prepared to turn at a moment’s notice from finance to engi- neering., from fighting fires and catch- ing ;gamblers and bootleggers to clus- ter lighting. from garbage to welfare work, from’ matters of the utmost im- portance to matters of almost no im- portance and back again and be pre- pared: to handle anything and every- thing that comes along. And he must also be able to sleep well at night, eat three good meals a day and smile re- gardless of any one who does not like his way of doing things, for the man- ager who tries to do his best can al- ways depend upon having his enemies. . A manager must be able to appreci- ate the worth of the people who work under him, to instill into them loyalty to their city, harmony between them- selves -and frank- and open hearted honesty with him.. A manager who, cannot make a city government har- monious is a failure from the outset. The one ideal worthy of a city mana- ger worth while is the miaking of his city the best city it can be possibly made. If he cannot keep this ideal be- fore him always he has missed his call- ing and is working an irreparable in- jury and injustice.to himself as well as to the city to which his reputed ability has called him for the great work. % ‘ Planning In Australia.

The Overland frame is of open-hearth used TheOverland radiator in quality is the same as used in one of the most prominent $4000 cars! The Overland fenders, in qufility and material are the same as used on the in the $3000, $4000 and $5000 cars! $3000, $4000 and $5000 cars! The Overland steering knuckle bolt is of 314 % nickel steel, just those used in the $3000, $4000 and $5000 cars! " The Overland drive pinion is.of 81, % We use more aluminum, on larger and more important parts, than any other manufacturer in the world Where others. and often makers of $5000 cars, use cast iron at 3 cents per pound we use alumi- num at 28¢ per pound ! g the same as nickel steel, the same as used in the $3000, $4000 and $5000 cars!

The Overland steering knuckle is the same as that used in the $3000, $4000 and J $5000 cars. < Each separate Overland test and in- spection for quality of material and accur- acy of machining is far more thorough than the methods used by manufacturers of $3000, $4000 and $5000 cars! The signifiance of these facts should mean much to those who expect to buy a car A practical demonstration will mean a great deal more. Telephone the Overland dealer and make your appointment as early as pos- sible. . Here is the proof. The Overland sales in Minnesota in 1913 exceeded those of any other company, except one, that being the Ford, and they are not a competitor of the Overland. The Overland is positively the highest grade car in the world today, selling at anywhere near the price. It has a magneto, where some cars of similar price have substituted. The Overland could have saved THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS if they had sacrificed their magneto. Proof. Manufacturers-of the $3, 000 $4,000 and $5,000.cars are using same magneto ignition.
