Prof. J. B. Stutz Lauds New City Government Form
Commission Manager Plan Provides Efficient and Business Like Organization
"The commission-manager form of government for cities is a carefully formulated scheme of government through which the maximum amount of public service is secured for *u* minimum expenditure," said Prof. J. C. M. Patterson, dean of reference bureau, over WDAF, from the Kansas City Star's radio station.
"It has its origin by virtue of the growing necessity for a business-like administration," continued Professor Stutz. "Realizing this necessity, the mayor and council of Staunton, Va., announced Thursday that it is creating the position of city manager, to be responsible for the administration of the city's affairs.
Sumpter Has First Charter
"The citizens of Sumpter, S. C., were the first to adopt a charter providing for the commission-manager position in the present time there are 311 cities which are operating under the plan or have adopted it. These range in size from McCracken, Kawa, with a population of 708,441; O., with a population of 790,841.
Only three cities have abandoned the pan by vote, in the fifteen years it has been in use, which is evidence that it is a happy solution of the old problem. It is ensuring sufficient public service at a price the citizens can afford to pay.
Gives Outstanding Merits
The outstanding merits of this scheme of government, Professor Stutz suggested. A commission or council is elected at large to represent the interests of all the people in formulating the policies of the city. The committee wets an mayor, and official representatives. There are no large salaries, and no possibilities of patronage or favors. Therefore only men interested in the highest welfare of the city could have any motive for wanting the positions.
"The city manager selects the heads of the administrative departments on the basis of ability. These department heads and other subordinates are promoted in the municipal service according to their merits. This enables the manager to select and tran a competent corps of men and women who administer the details of the affairs," Professor Statz concluded.

E. C. Franklin, the president of the society was a professor of physical chemistry in this university until 1985, when he was been teaching at Leland Stanford.

Mr. Smith arrived today from Hiawattau ready to assume his duties as custodian of the $2,000 worth of trophies which will be distributed this week end at the Memorial Stadium. It was on old McCook field that Mr. Smith was invited to the of the over-victorious team of 1880. He held a record of place-kicking—kicking 40 consecutive goals.
Mr. Smith's interest in K. U. is increasing instead of diminishing with the years—the reason being that Mr. Smith's children will soon enter K. U.

Miss Zillah will have an academic record as a musician as well as an excellent student while taking her preliminary work in Hardin.
The second of the Smith children, "J. N., Jr.", will be a competitor in the state track meet Friday in the high jump as a representative of HIawatha High School. "J. N." is a junior in high school, and his present size and increase weight and speed make it probable that the youngster will have made him his fave's gridiron record as a member of the all-time K, U. team.
The third child, Aleta, is a high school sophomore. It is probable that Mr. and Mrs. Smith will establish a home in Lawrence when all the children are in the University, although Mr. Smith will practice law at
