Model Municipal Code By H. 0. Stechhan. 90+000+SOW NIFORM government in all the cities and towirs of Indiana *ie the end which the nlew munhtticipal code enacted by the * General Assembly this year seeks to achieve. It marks a distinct step forward in city government, and is intended to work a number of important reforms in the gerral conduct of municipal affairs, placing them on more of a business ++M*0++00$ basis. The code repeals all so-called individual city charters and separate incorporation acts, with special gmnts. under which the different municipalities of Indiana have been organized heretofore. and extends the same broad principles of local self-governmwnt to all. Owing to the varied systems of management that these cities and towns have had in the past, the exuerience of one contributed but litle to the wvell-being ot its neighbor. each being compelled to learn the same Iesson for itself. This act insp;red the code, and it was draft?d for the express purpose of meeting the wants of all similar communities within the confines of a state. Indiana s municipal code is constructed after the pattern of the city charter that )re scribed the government of Indianapolis, the state's capital city. from early in 1S91 until the middle of April, 1905. when the new law went into effect. Thor oughly tried and tested during the fourteen years that it was in force, the In dianapclis charter came to be regar'ded as one of the best to be found in our country. In some cuarters. what is known as the "city-nade charter" is the most approved form of municipal law at the present time. This means a body of law that has been made and adopted by the )eo)l( themselves for whom it is intended, after which it has been ratified uy the legislature of the state, as dis tinguished from a code of laws originating in the General Assembly, as most City charters do. Constitutional provisions in Alissouri and California author ize "city-made charters" for cities having more than 100.000 )population. Kan sas City. -Nissouri is the latest municii):dity to make its own governmnent. Fourteen years ago Indianapolis. through n committee of public-spirited cizti zens. built for local needs the boldy of law which the Indiana legislature al proved at the time: and so satisfactory nas been its operation ir. the inte'rimn that this year's assembly saw fit to apply the provisicns of this organic law, "city-made' according to the latest meaning of the term, to all tae ceiLis 0f the state. For the larger cities the sane machinery of governimnent employed in In(Lanaltolis for fourteen years has beei adopted, though minor modifica tioins have been made to adjust it to the varying needs of the smaller ones1. Where a sort of governmental chaos has eXisted in the local affairs of mumci palities within the state, this act is ex)ec!ci ted) tbr'ing aboutl systenatic regu larity.-Foruim. Missioning to the Ich vi By St. Clair McKIeiway. 'MORALIST in this own who has supporwa foreign missions at his own experse, and has been keenly intercsted in re forms of al sorts, says that hei has concluded to quit and in ject some glimmerings of morals into the heads of people who have been sorely negIected. T'he slums he will leave alone. for the residents are laboring up the heights cc re spectability and are liable co arrive at the top, in time, but the people who have been sitting complacently at the top are struggling so hard to -et down that they really need looking after. So he wants to do something for our senators, and bankers, and insurance presidents, and railroaI men, and pig butchers, and plumbers, and leading lawyer s. Now, this sounds funny when you hear it, but considering the matter for a minute one realizes that its amutsing side is not so conspicutotts as the seri ous. The faults or' the slums are due to ignorance and the surroundings of squalor: to evil parentage and the absence of ideals: but the sins of the men in positions of public and private trust, which have been so freely expos5ed of late, and which are even raising up parties of r-etribution. cannot be excused on any stuch grounds. These men knev:' what they wer'e doing when they app~ro printed funds for the purchase of legislatures and congressional committees, when they drew on their treasuries tor- gifts, loans, dinners, the traveling ex penses of frieunds and families. and sa :ries to favorites that never were earned: they knew the law when they broke it and made forbidden deals with other men and corportations to check comnpetition and liberty of trade; they knew the law when they defied it and adultertetd, even poisoned. food prod ucts' and~ they knew the moral law when they made fallso or misleading state-I ments conecring their acts. The~ slum" man live's at a disadvantage, M issioariehs, tenement in'spectors, health flcers, all sorts of intruder's tvarch into his little Inat as fr-eely as if it were the chy h lall, and reouire him to do many things that are not to his lik ing, wheras the. rich maa keeps missionaries out of his house and even di rects the b.mier to kick them without tear of rebuke or arrest, Therefore the ~ian of campain by which our reformner inten.ds to gain the eat' of certain tnancers~' and statesmen in this city and of eaptains, of industry in C'hicago has not 'een revetcaedd, if it has been formulated. T:-tey might be reached by mail, ':osibly. or by telehone, or by the ditstlier attorney: but by whiatever mens -tpas :o many of us that they ought to be tprayed for, if they can not be directl ersutaded to abandon their v~ays and~ retura to the moral life. -Boky Eag le. &' Where's thewDoctor With a Heart?

This moti1 on was cari ed hr unanimous vote of the mnembers of the committee present. anti it is ex peted that the senator will be on hand. Mr. Lyons then said that threats vwitnesses who might come here to tes tifv. le therefore moved that the marshal be authorized to obtain a suf fleent number of deputies or poliee men to give ample protection to every witness who might testify. This was ar.eed to and the committee adjourn ed until Monday morning at 10:30. The dlispensarv investigating com mittee got down into the transactions between the Carolina Glass works of Columiia and the Soutli Carolina dis pensary. Mr. C. F. Norton. the man ager of the glass factory. was put on the stand. He had testified for two hours Friday afternoon and was on the stand from 10:30 a. in.. until 2 p. m. The cross-examination has not started. There was singular business meth ods brought to light . For instance, the Carolina Glass company was so anxious to get the Ylaceus Glass com pany out of its way that it paid the Flaccus people of Pittsburg $1.650 and received ii return the privilege of filling and unailling part of an order for 150 ears or bottles. But that con tract secured with so much expense and difficulty. was never filled. Con current with it was another contract for 100 cars awarded to thte Carolina company, and this order was filled, as were several others in the succeeding years. but that contract for 22 cars has never been filled. When the hearing was resumed Mr. C. H. Norton. manager of the Carolina Glass works, was on the stand. He said that the stoekholders of the Caro lina lass company are practically the same now as they were at the begin ning of the existence of the corpora tion. Those who had dropped out were: W. G. Childs, B. D. Miller and W. B. S. Whaley. Mr. Childs had sold his stock, amounting to $1,000, since the first of January, witness thought. Mr. Norton declared that the com pany has no fund for "the promotion of business." The capital stock of the company is $60.000, all paid in. Mr. W. G. Childs had sold his stock to Mr. E. G. Seibels. None of the stock holders own the stock in trust. When ever dividend is paid. it is charged on the cash book and then transferred. Mr. Lyon presented the book on which dividends were recorded. He then asked about the surplus fund of the glass company. Mir. Lyon thought this was trespass ing on the company's private affairs. Mr. Lyon declared that this com pany has a charter from the State and the committee has a legitimate right to inquire the amount -of surplus and undivided profits. This information might be of great value to the State in the future. The witness could not answer the question anyway. The books showed an account of $42,000 'profit and loss" in December in ad dition to assets and liabilities. Witness said that lhe signed the con 1 racts withI the State dispensary. He keeps a carbon copy of contract and of letter written by the glass company to the dispensary. The contract says nothing about the weight of the bot tIes. i.
