LEAGUE FAVORS CITY MANAGERS
Will Ask Legislature to Allow Cities to Adopt New Government
A bill to permit cities to adopt the city manager plan of government will probably be presented in the committee on housing. The League of Kansas Municipalities,
The proposed law will allow citie on a vote of their citizens to provide for a governing commission wif authority to employ a city manager who will have charge of the administration of the city, subject to the supervision and control of the governing body of the C. H. Taureau factory of the League, this morning, "Iowa, Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, Ohio and Iowa have laws permitting this plan in the cities of the state."
This plan is used in 37 cities over, the United States, and eighteen other cities have such a plan differing only in the team. Niagara Falls, N.Y.; Brownville, Tex.; Dayton, Ohio; Phoenix Ariz.; La Grande, Ore.; Webster City, Iowa and Santa Barbar, Cal. These cities are the cities which have the city manager plan.
"The League is not urging nor asking any city to adopt the plan," continued Mr. Talbot, "but it is simply requesting the legislature to allow the people of any city who wish to adopt the law." The managers and towns are said to be interested in adopting the manager form if permitted to do so."
"The League of Kansas Municipalities is strongly in favor of permitting the people of the communities in the state to make their own charters of government. We need a strict stintion and general laws. If any city desires to adopt the city manager plan or commission plan or any other system of local government best suited to meet needs and desires, we believe that they should have the opportunity to do so."

You Walk Right In and Turn Around and Walk Right Out Again
When the "would be" students reached the steps of Spooner, the visitor might have been shocked to hear one of them say, "Let's go in and see what we can pick up." They had come to pick dates.
They didn't have any books with them—they couldn't be bothered that way. After hanging up their coats, they pushed the chair into the room, looking for a chair beside a lady fair.
According to a Kansan reporter who was sitting on the library steps waiting for a boy(?) friend, the six fellows had no trouble in dating up. Between nine o'clock and nine-thirty, twenty couples came rambling out to play with their children only four of them came to the library together. Five of the twenty men dating were fraternity men and the same number of girls, sorority women. Nine of the twenty "fortunate" fellows just entered the door, gave their girl the high sign and then waited or the outside for them. Three fellows entered the library and studied (?) five minutes and then came out with a lady on their arm. Two fellows met the middle-aged lady and to draw two girls each, and one man was so unfortunate as to get lined up with three of the fair sex.
"Lots more wanted dates but couldn't get them," said the reporter. "They sat down outside with me every tried to get me to get him." Our course I couldn't be bothered—I was having troubles of my own."

BERT WADHAM'S FOR
APRIEST addressing a New York City temperance meeting some forty years ago, told his audience that in a single night's spree each one of them spent enough money to pay for an acre of land in the West. "Every dram a man drinks in a saloon," he continued, "costs the price of a fruit tree."
AT THIS RATE it appears that some men swallow a few acres of land and an orchard each year.
