Bismarck civic clubs as well as its com- missioners can apply themselves profitably to an investigation of a tem that has worked out advantageously in many places. The National Municipal League of which Charles Evans Hughes is president and Frank, A. Vanderlip is treasurer has made an exhaus- tive study of the city ‘manager plan and pro- nounces it as especially adapted to American cities. i) - There is little or no departure from the pres- ent democratic form of municipal government. The people elect 9 eruncil of popular representa- tives and these men select the city manager who js trained in mumicipal affairs and who devotes all his time { directing the city’s businesss. A booklet just issued showing results in var- ions cities i$ most ifuminating to ‘cities who have heen siruge. vi sander the of hit and mis plan. No city realizes the waste that comes tne} der the present. system. until it employs a man-| ager to go into the various departments and after careful study to evolve a plan whereby a city can go on a cash basis and keep there through a vise conservation of public finds. St. Augustine, Fla., a city of 6,192 for instance ed floating debt of $37,000 and put $16,000 into a sinking fund on water bonds. It adopted under the city manager full instead of quarter valuation. It modernized its accounting system and still had plenty of time to provide public recreation. Griffin, Ga., a city of 8,240 population saved $43,000 the first year while improving every department. Did more street work in one year; than in any previous five years. Webster City, Ia., has saved $36,000 a year since the plan was adopted. There are many other instances where the same record has been made. Of course there is the other side of the picture too, but the in- stances of failure of the plan have been few in comparison to the successes. There are and al- ways will be exceptions. In some towns where the plan has been adopted the same old compla- cent stagnation has obtained. There have been other cases where a local chronic job-holder fell down on the job as city manager or failing to Jand the plum himself has made the life of the city manager miserable by a: campaign of petty nagging and cheap politics. The city manager under this plan is freed of: ved tape and can get results by short direct routes. fe : From. no’ in!'Bismarck there must be a careful ‘con ion of public funds in the in- terests of lower taxation. An earnest: study of our shortcomings will reveal a fertile field to save in some ways and expand in others, There may be legal obstacles to overcome. be: fore North Dakota cities can adopt the city man- ager plan, but the system will bear earnest in- vestigation and the careful scrutiny of every cit: izén who wants to make the public dollar go as: far as possible.

This is looked upan as a severe handicap, yet it was an empty sleeve that operied the door to opportunity to Robert: H. Allison, the young thap who plays ball with Bldg. |,one arm better than most men with two. "In| ithree years after the accident which deprived. him of his arm-he had not only worked his wé through two years of college but by his own ef- forts had saved $2200 toward educating himself for law. So resolutely has he: overcome his handicap that he has almost ceased to look. upon it as such and. declares that it has forced him: to invent so many ways to get avound it that it has ma¢ him, more efficient than he otherwisé would have been. : “The truth is,’ he says, “I didn’t wake up to what I veally could aécomplish until I was forced to by the Joss of my arm.” | i To the strong man a handicap is a challenge. He marshals all his forces to overcome it and thus develops a strength of character that makes him a winner. i The way we accept our handicaps will deter- mine largely the place we are to occupy in life.

Mann, of Devils Lake, president of! the North Dakota Retail Merchants’ association, | that during the past six months North Dakota has experienced fewer byiginess failures than any other state in the union. During that period Dakota are reported, and this during Uhe perivd | of greatest deflation and general business un-| certainty that this generation has ever seen. That condition indicates the essential sound- ness of business conditions in North Dakota and reflects the existence of business habits which, | tiding the state over a great ‘crisis, are bound to show exceedingly satisfactory results when: general conditions have become more nearly. nor-| nal. Pe hon This condition is all the more remarkable in that it exists in spite of the unfavorable fihtincial situation caused by the operation of the Bank of North Dakota on a principle unsound and} dangerous from its very inception, and the reek-| lessness with which those in charge have made] the situation worse than it had,any need to be. The restriction of credit from this cause has been a grave embarrassment to every merchant in the state. The trouble is not that it has not permitted expansion, for expansion’ under late business conditions was neither expected nor de- sired hy thoughtful and prudent men,,but that it placed unusual and serious obstacles‘4}} ithe way ‘of most ordinary and necessary business transactions. c In spite of the difficulties, the merchants have survived. And when smoother water has been reached, they will be able to get under full sail without having to stop and dispose of much wreckage. For much of this the state has Mr. Mann, himself to thank. He has gone up and down the state preaching sound business meth- ods ‘and exemplifying his own doctrines in his own remarkably successful experience. .A vote of thanks to Fred’ P.

This peper believes in the use; of the recall only in a grave emerg: | ency. It is absolute’y opposed to its; use for the sake of gaining a partisan | advantage. In the present cese it is} not only abundantly justified, but it; has become unavoidable if the credit | of the state is to be saved and its in- terests are to be protected against the! further assaults of unprincipled mar auders. The business of the state to-| pended, not because of any leck of re sources or any deficiency in real cap- ital, byt solely because the seat of its government has become a_ robbers’ roost. The emergency is here, and it must be met. To continue as we are is out of the question.
