Home Rule Measures Citizens of Richmond who are tired of a political administration of the city's affairs and desirous of informing themselves on the advantages of home rule, will be given an opportunity to study the advantages of the new system in a series of articles which have been prepared for the Palladium by Clarence Greene, director of the Research Bureau of Dayton, Ohio. Dayton has1" had signal success with home rule. It is not a novelty in that city, or an untried and untested experiment, for home rule has been the order of the day for a number of years, and the advantages of the system have far outweighed its weaknesses. Mr. Greene was a news writer when Dayton undertook to oust the politicians from the control of the city. He saw the genesis of the movement and has watched its gradual development into a form of city government that is giving to Dayton a scientific and efficient management of it3 municipal affairs. He now directs the re

search bureau of the city. Mr. Greene has made a study of home rule in Dayton and elsewhere. He has written many articles on the movement and is in constant demand as a lecturer on matters of municipal reform and civic betterment. The t series of articles, which he has prepared for the Palladium, is an authoritative presentation of the home rule movement, both as to its theory and as to its practical operation. Other articles on home rule from men in cities where it has supplanted the old system also will be printed. The one yesterday was from Grand Rapids.

to office by reason of their political affiliation rather than by their fitness for the job. Under home rule, the city manager long ago would have discovered the error of neglecting repairs in order to make a good financial showing. To him the plant would have represented a million-dollar investment, belonging to the taxpayers of this community, and he would have formulated a policy of management that would have immediately corrected faults in the physical property, and in the long run would have permitted the plant to earn a return on the investment. Employes would have been held responsible

for faults, irrespective of political ends. He would not have interfered with the hiring and discharging of employes, but would have permitted the engineer to surround himself with capable men. The engineer would have been held responsible for the condition of the machinery. He would not be hampered by present conditions, in which the city council, the board of works and the superintendent all take a hand directing the operation of the system.

The condition of the light plant measures accurately the cost of municipal mismanagement as it exists under a system which elevates men

Richmond's desire for home rule is not a new

manifestation of the civic spirit by any means.

Eight years ago it was one of the Indiana cities that tried to induce the general assembly to pass a home rule measure. Public spirited men of Fort Wayne stood with it, but neither city was able to checkmate the moves of the machine politicians who strangled the measure in the committee room. Delegations from Richmond attended public hearings in Indianapolis to press passage of the measure, which would have remedied the" situation. The next session of the legislature has the fate of home rule in its keeping. Unless the opposition of the politicians can be overcome, the new bill will be killed. The gradual recognition of the necessity of improvement in municipal

government is apparent over the state. Ander

son is proceeding on lines that are identical with those that are being followed here. Public opin

ion is being aroused, and a campaign of education is letting opponents of home rue know what the people want. Wayne county is fortunate in having men in the house and senate who not only favor the measure passively, but are willing to back it actively and decisively on the floor. Their help will be of the highest value.

Answerr to Questions

Reader Why presidential electors and the electoral college? Who are they and how do they work? When you voted on Nov. 2, if you did vote, you had one ballot which contained the names of the electors, equal in number to the number of U. S. senators and representatives from this state. This Is a provision of Article 2' of the constitution of the United States. In the early days of the republic the men enjoyed the orivilege

of voting for two persons for president I

ana vice president. At this time the parties place in nomination candidates for both these offices and it becomes the duty of the electors to simply carry out the mandates of the party conventions. It is provided by law that the electors in the different .states shall meet on the second Monday in January, after their appointment in their respective states and cast their votes or the two highest offices in the gift of the people. These votes are sealed and sent to the president of the United States senate. On the second Wednesday In February, a joint meeting of the senate and house is con vened, and the ballots are counted and the result declared. There are several objections to this method of electing the presdent and vice president, and other means have been suggested from time to time, but probably owing to the fact that the electoral system

is aa constitutional provision, but little

headway looking to a 'change has

been made. Readers Qi.t obtain iDHww to questions by writing; the Palladium Questions and Answers department. Ail questions should be written plainly and briefly. Answers will be slvea briefly.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

ON CHANGING FRONTS Every hour is an education. And we live by minutes! Emerson posted a great fact when he said that "consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." Unless a man reserves the right to think better In the evening than in the morning, unless he finds himself able to change fronts at will, how is he consistently to grow? The able general changes his plan of battle as the battle changes. The only logical affair in the world is for one to keep going ahead! Too much equipment and too many hangings will anchor the strongest. For there must be freedom of movement if there is to be any regularity of progress. Change your front any time you may choose providing you get a straighter, smoother road over which to walk.

Nothing kills like precedent. Nothing stagnates like convention. Change your front but keep fronting! Confide your most important moves to no one and shoulder your own gun. But keep step. There Is nothing achieved in the midst of confusion. You may not be able to think as profoundly as some one else, but you can ack quickly and with simple grace. You ,can keep thinking and keep going. You can change your front when things look dark.

then I get sick of saving, by thrift my soul is pained. And so I blow my money as though I had no sense, and live on milk and honey, regardless of expense; I patronize the tailor and buy a fordmobile, and like a jingled sailor I burn the hard earned wheel Then, tired of misbehaving, I gently elmmer down, and pnee again I'm saving the guilder and the crown. And such a course seems dotty to people safe and sane, who think such orgies naughty, and villainous and vain. But saving, though a virtue, may soon become a fault that's bound to badly hurt you. unless you call a halt before the shining dollar to you seems so immense that all the world looks smaller than its circumference. The thrifty man is wiser than is the spend-thrift jake; but, oh, the greedy miser! He makes my innards ache.
