Murphy “Asked by Governor Shoup Following, Confirmation of Appointment DENVER, Marecltt: 30.—The zppoint- ment of George Stephan, foryner leu- tenant governor, to be registrar of the state Jand board, succeeding John F. Vivian, was confirined by a unan- imous vote by the senats of the Colo- rado legislature.; The senate’s action brings to an end a long-standing controversy be- tween administration supporters and advocates for Vivian. ‘The opposition voted unanimously for the appoint- ment when it was shown to be cer- tain that not enough votes were on hand to defeat the appointment. When word of the senate's action reached him, Governor Shoup. an- nounced he would demand the resig- nation of Will R.. Murphy, as a mem- ber of the state land board. “If Mur- y doesn’t resign I'll perfer charges nst him,” he said. He-sent the following letter to Mr. Murphy: “In view of the dissatisfaction with the present administration of the state board of land commissioners, I’m asking you to kindly file with me im- mediately your resignation as a mem- ber of said board.” Previous to the ratification of the Stephan appointment, a consultation was held by Senator W. W. Booth, chairman, with other members of the committee on education to which the appointment had been referred. Fol- lowing this conference, Senator Booth announced that the committee had reported favorably on the appoint- ment. Senator Booth followed with a mo- tion to confirm the nomination, It was seconded by Senator Bashor and carried by a viva voce vote without opposition, TAX REVISION BILL PASSED IN HOUSE.

My Dear Sir: Your letter of March 1, in which you ask for information with refer- ence to Cadillac's experience with the city manager form of government, has been received, and in reply to your letter I would make the follow- ing statements: Cadillac’s city commission and city manager plan was adopted by reason of the fact that we had for a number of years been greatly disturbed by the city council and ward election sys- tem. Each year we made party nom- inations and after it became true that one of the parties was so strong that the other party had no chance of electing any of its @andidates a citi- zens party would be formed or a peo- ples organization ticket and our city elections were always incidents of tur- moi! and friction and trouble. Our city ejections would usually take the attention of our people from all forms of co-operative efforts in be- half of the city for about a month be- fore the election and for several weeks thereafter. Many times I have known it to be true that the men best qualified to serve the city as al- dermen or any other office were de- feated because they were not on the ticket that was dominant in connec- tion with our city affairs. Our city commission manager sys- tem was adopted through the getting together of the leaders of the two political parties, Republicans and Democrats. They decided that they ‘would thereafter make the interests of the city first and foremost in con- nection with all elections and with all candidates. We wholly disregard po- litical lines and during the eight years that.we have had the present system I have never known a/candi- date to be selected because’ he was n Republican or rejected because he was a Democrat. Our commission form of govern- ment was adopted by a good major- ity. Two years after it was in opera- tion an effort was made ‘to go\back to the old system and three-fourths of the voters expressed their favor for the commission form. At the pres- ent time I am quite sure that a very much larger proportion than that would formally object. to any change There is no overhead attached to the city manager commission form of government that is not *scessarily ro lated to the city council form.” We pay our city manager $2,600. He is a home man who seryed with former city managers who had been educated by service at Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio, for that particular work, Upon the city manager rests the sibility for all public opera- tio#s. He has charge of estimates and performance of work and js directly responsible for the ‘results secured. The city mannger is also the supc- rior officer of the fire department and the police department and of other y departments. He is also a mem- ber of ithe city: budget, ‘committee, thé other; members of which are the city treasurer and city’ clerk. i Our city activities are quite as near to the business Mke operation of a well managed industrial: plant as we can muke them. We recognize the fact that the city government must be representative and responsive, that is, must have in view the wishes of the people and it must not become too mechanical or carry the ambition for efiiciqncy so far as to make it offen: sive. or objectionable. There is little or no duplication in connection with our city affairs, AN sections of the ven equal consideration.

OTHER CITIES DECLARE FOR MANAGER PLAN, WHY ° NOT GIVE IT A TRIAL? you an estimate as to how the pres- ent fixed charges of the city compare with similar expenditures in the past. Under the present system our city has grown rapidly and has the repi tation of being one of the prtttiest cities in Michigan and one of the most progressive. I am herewith en- closing to you a little circular which will give you some further informa. tion In the direction of my claim. You know it to be true, of course, that all wages have been much high- er during recent years and the cost of all lines of material required in public construction, paving, and bridge material have been higher, but I am sure that our street work, pay- ing, séwer, curbing and in other di- rections, haye been lower than they Would have been under the form of government that existed in Cadillac Previous to the adoption of the city manager commission plan. It must be kept in mind, of course, that all forms of city and state and national governments have to be car- ried out through men, ordinary men most of us are, and it will sometimes occur that men will be inefficient and unrelinble and unworthy, no matter what system they are connected with or what plan of operation is in ef- fect. But I think it to be true, and I have found it to be true here, that the present plan of city government appeals to a greater extent to indi- vidual. and home pride and to the qualities that make for good service than is true of the old time plan with its old time experience. I have tried to give you as much information as I could in this brief way Dut i” I have failed to touch up- on the matters you most wis to be informed upon regarding our city government I will be glad to make a further reply in response. to a re- quest to that effect. Yours very truly, (Signed) C, R. SMITH, BUILDERS: WAGE TO BE TAKEN UP AT DENVER MEET Association Calls Cofiference After Union Carpenters Refuse to Make Cut in $9-a-Day Wage DENVER, March 30.—Following ac- tion of union carpenters in yoting against change in their wage scale of $9 a day, a public meeting was called by the Master Dealers’ associa- tion for Thursday night at which time, the announcement said. both sides to the wage controversy and the public will be given an opportunity to be heard . The state industrial commission last week decided in favir of « rauction in wages in the builiing trades. effec- tise A noit accaptencs “of the award is not mandatory, however, and the action of the carpenters in refus- ing to vecept a reduction of $1 a day does not. constitute an infraction of the state law. Members of the builders’ association today declared that the wage reduc- tions would be put into effect April 1 and if union carpenters refuse to ac- cept the reduction ,labor will be em- ployed from outside the ranks of or- ganized labor.
