ECONOMICAL FORDAYTOM City Has Installed Scientific Auditing System for Finances Floating Debt is Reduced Purchasing Agent. PAY-AS-YOHO BASIS

Editor's Note: Clarence B. Grepne. director of the Dayton Bureau' of Research, has prepared a series of articles on home rule for the Palladium. The seventh follows: Probably the greatest example of a successful operation of the commission-manager plan of government is to be found in Dayton, Ohio, an industrial city of the southwestern part of the state, with a population of 175.000. This beautiful city on the Miami river was the first large one to adopt the manager plan, although since its adoption in 1914 many other cites throughout the county have followed the lead of Dayton and adopted similar charters.. Because of the remarkable record which Dayton has made under the plan, interest has been focused on her experience, and the tale of her achievements many times told. One very great advantage Dayton has, and one very great disadvantage she shares with every other Ohio city. The disadvantage is the restriction onl c'ffi.io ovoiiahio inrnmo with '

As a consequence, every Ohio city in these days of extremely high costs is laboring under staggering debt, or bas been compelled to curtail needed public services so as not to greatly increase its obligations. An immediate solution of the state-wide problem has been undertaken by the legislature, through the temporary lifting of the restrictions of the Smith law. Citizens Interested J.

It is interesting to know that before the adoption of the charter which gave Dayton its present term of government, a long and thorough campaign of education was carried out. Hundreds of talks and lectures were given to interested groups. Many vivid statements of facts were thrown on the screen. Newspaper advertising space was used to acquaint the people with the fac ts ot their own v" I city. A municipal research bureau, j sunoorted by private contributions, was the agency through which this accurate and reliable information was made available to the public. Faced Big Debt.

New Auditing System. The primary reform in Dayton was (be installation of a scientific auditing system for city finances, so that it is now known at the close of each day the exact state of municipal funds nnd commitments. The annual budget prepared by the manager and department heads, is printed in handy pamphlet form, so that any citizen may inform himself fully and acccurateiy on municipal expenditures and compare each year, item by item, with i previous years. During the first four years of the new plan the floating debt of $125,000 was reduced to $65,000. This was made possible through the fact that the city lived within its income and balance. In addition, Dayton adopted! the policy of issuing sinking fund bonds, and setting up a reserve for retCring the bonds at maturity.

JAPAN'S DELEGATION WILL NOT PROPOSE EQUALITY OF RAGES (By Associated Press) GENEVA, Nov. 30. The Japanese delegates will not make any proposal this morning's session of the assembly. Many delegates to the meeting of the assembly of the League of Na tions regard the coming week as the most critical period in the history of the orgnnization. Questions which have been settled in committees by a majority vote, after stuborn contests in some cases, must be decided in the assembly by a unanimous vote.

ORDERS STILL PLACED BY COAL COMMISSION (By Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 30. The Indiana Fuel and Food commission continued today to place orders with operetors for the shipment of coal to Indiana communities, but it was said at the commission's office that the orders were restricted to operators who had signified a willingness to receive them. The coal, it was expected, is to be sold at the prices fixed sometime ago i by the commission, but it was said, that inasmuch as the commission, as a result of the Federal court injunction, could not force production for the Indiana market, it could not also force observance of the prices.

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Nov. 30. A denial that he had ever taken money for influencing the disposition ot contracts or machinery by the United States Shipping Board, as charged by T. K. Sands, former Washington banker, coupled with a request that all of his business transactions with Sands be investigated, "both for my own and my family's sake," was made before the Walsh congressional committee here today by R. W. Boiling, President Wilson's brother-in-law and now treasurer of the shipping board. Mr. Boiling told of business associations with Sands dating back to 1916 and earlier years, out of which grew several financial transactions. He told the committee that his personal records were all available to its inspection. Sands has testified that he received $40,000 from the Downey Shipbuilding corpora.tion for "representing it" before the board, out of which he paid money to Mr. Boiling. Mr. Boiling said that after banking with the institution with which Sands was connected for several years he had taken a contract in 191G to build a house for the banker, and in making a settlement for its cost with Mr. and Mrs. Sands had foregone any profits because of objections by Sands as a charge of extras. Offers to Cancel ''I volunteered to cancel my share of this charge, which figure, $600, represented most of the profit I had expected to make on the entire transaction," Mr. Boiling said in his statement, "because of their unpleasant attitude. Mr. Sands agreed to this settlement and gave his note for $6,000, which I endorsed and discounted. "However, a short while afterward Mr. Sands told me thp.f he did not want me to lose any of my commissions for building the house and that he had accepted this reduction only because his wife was very much worried that the house should have cost more than they had originally planned, and that he intended paying me the additional $600 above referred to. Tells Transaction. "Early in 1918 Mr Sands sent a Mr. Cranor to see me in regard to some machinery, which was to be use in connection with construction of vessels. Mr. Cranor told me that the machinery in question was 'bending rolls.' and was to have been shipped to his company from the factory, but at the last minute some other company succeeded in having the order changed, and that this machinery would be diverted to them; that a great injustice was being done to his, Mr. Cranor's company. I knew nothing about the construction division so in the presence of Mr. Cranor I called up Mr. Lester Sisler, who was then secretary of the shippfng board and explained the matter to him. He said he would look into it. and subsequently told me that he found upon inquiry that the rolls had been promised to Mr. Cra

nor's company and would be shipped to them. Tells Sands' Relation. "A short time after this Mr. Sands told me that he had made, or would make, $1,000 in connection with this transaction though he now states he has no recollection of the matter and that he was going to 'take care of me.' 1 told him I would accept nothing. He then mentioned the $fi00 which he still owed me in connection with the changes made in his house, saying that he had not forgotten it and would pay it. I gave no thought as to what .Mr. Sands' relationship was to the principal, but looked on him as the vice-president of a large bank, and a man who was justly indebted to me. I therefore told him that I would be glad to have him pay what he owed (Continued on Page Ten)

Four Names Are Mentioned For Secretary of lYar Says Sullivan

By MARK SULLIVAN. National Political Correspondent of The New York Evening Post. WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 30. Repeating what I said apolegetically yesterday in discussing possibilities for Secretary of State, namely that all of this kind of discussion is of dubious taste and little valueand is only justified as a record of what is actually consuming a good deal of the time of Republican leaders, let us consider the men who are mentioned for Secretary of War. Tho discussions and surmises on this point center chiefly about four names. General Leonard Wood, General Pershing, Congressman .Julius Kalin, of California, and Senator George Chamberlain, of Oregon. Of these General Wood is the most obvious. He has favor of many Republican leaders, and that rather important section of the party which supported him for the presidential nomination would be especially gratified at his selection. General Wood has in some degree the capacity that Mr. Roosevelt had for inspiring an almost extravagantly loyal devotion among his followers and those who come in contact with him. National Following. He i one of the very small number of oublic men who can be described as having a certain amount of national following.

FEWER LOTS WORTH LESS THAN LEVIES THAN IN YEAR 1917 There were 507 lots in the city of Richmond which were held for delinquent taxes Jan. 1, 191J- Today the number of these lots 'has been reduced to 131, and practically all of them are not worth the improvement assessments levied against them. The books of the county treasurer, Ed. J. Weidner. who also serves as ex-officio city treasurer, show that prior to Jan. 1, 1917, it had been the custom of the city officials to place improvement collections in the municipal general fund, whereas such collections should have been placed in a special improvement sinking fund. Treasurer Weidner repprts that In January. 1917, he established a special improvement sinking fund for the city and the city was required to pay into this fund the amount then owed to it,. $3,402.12. This fund has since been used to pay off improvement assessments levied against lots whose values were less than the assessments. At the present time there is $2,671.22 in the special improvement sinking fund. The improvement fund was created by an act passed by the legislature in 1913. The act provided that the various municipalities should maintain such a fund for a period of 10 years, after which time such sums as remain in the improvement sinking fund of each city shall be paid back to the municipal general fund. KITTERMAN NOT READY TO SETTLE CLAIMS Claude S. Kitterman, of Cambridge j City, receiver for the Farmers' Bank of Milton, Ind., while in Richmond i Tuesday, stated that he was not yet j ready to make a settlement with the depositors and other creditors of the( bank who had legitimate claims. j Asked when he thought a settle ment wou'd be effected, Mr. Kitterr-. ,i tVint V.n .1 r i ml Ka 111 Cl i I IdlU Ilia I 1 1 1 . I VI 1U 1" ready to take such action within a; short time. He did not state whether claims would be settled in full at this time. It has been reported that 50 percent of each bona fide claim would be paid within a few days. The 60-day period for the filing of claims against, the Farmers' Bank expired Nov. 26, and Mr. Kitterman stated many creditors waited until the, last day before submitting their claims. As a result, he states, he has not yet had an opportunity for exam ining thoroughly all of the claims on file. the party. General Wood's selection would be one of tlie surest. It is true that Mr. Harding, having such u majority as he received) does not need to consider the placating of factions in making his cabinet appointments, and also true (hat General Woods friends do not need to bae their claims for him on this factor alone. Hte qualifications for the office are obvious. But the same circumstances which qualify him. also in sense disqualify the fact that a man is a professional soldier in the minds of many, an objection to his choice as Secretary of War. It is rather an American tradition that the army shall be under the direction of a civilian. Deal Is Absurd. In some of the gossip that has been published on this subject, the likelihood of General Wood being selected is put on the ground of a deal made by him, or by his leaders on his b" half, at the Chicago convention, with the victorious Harding forces. Considered in the light. of the actual facts, this is absurd and is another example of the kind of subtle propaganda, not infrequent in the current gossip about cabinet appointments, designed less to advance a man than to impair his chances. There may be some ground for the theory that the forces which nominated Senator Harding at Chicago have reasons for being grateful to (Continued on Page Ten)

Large crowds flocked into the Y. M. C, A. Monday night for the opening of the "Made in Richmond" exhibit that is being staged there. It was estimated conservatively by the secretaries of the association, that 1,500 people attended the first night of the show.

Hundreds of citizens of Richmond will testify by their presence at the luncheon Wednesday evening tha'. they are interested in a bigger and better Richmond, and the address by W. A. Milne, of the Muncie Chambei of Commerce, is expected to prove the starting point of a definite movement toward this end. Through the medium of various organizations in the city, the presence of a number of women has been assured at the affair, and efforts ta pledge certain members in advance are also meeting with considerable success. Sue to Close Saloons, Cabarets in Chicago (Br Associated Press) CHICAGO. Nov. 30. Suits to compel the closing of 35 more saloons, cabarets and drug stores charged with selling intoxicating liquor were ready to be filed today by Attorney-General Brundage of Illinois. Included in the list are two of the most notorious "black and tan" cafes in the city. "The drive to force clo.'ure of places selling liquor is directed especially at the black and tan re-orta," Attorney-General Brundage said, quoting a letter from a downstate colored attorney predicting race trouble if they are allowed ta remain open.

LENNARD One of Alleged Leaders of Wayne County Whisky Ring Taken in Custody Early Tuesday Morning on Charge of Violation of Liquor Laws WilL Face Several Charges Released on $1,000 Cash Bond Lennard Says He Had No Money on Person But Police Declare He Was in Possession of $950 Which He Applied Toward His Cash Bond Was Arrested Because He Was Preparing to Leave the City. t FIRST OF ARRESTS TO CAPTURE WHISKY RING John I.
