CITIZENS OF INDIANA INTERESTED IN MOVE TO GAIN HOME RULE
nr KEonciw w. stoitt INDIANAfOUS. Jan. 25. Dwellers iu Indiana cities are taking an everincreasinf Interest in the movement to enact a law giving to cities the opportunity, by vote, to adopt the commission-manager or city manager form of local self-government. The optional feature of the proposed law is proving a strong factor in the advancement of the proposed legislation. The people apparently like the idea of leaving the decision to a vote of the folks most concerned. It is not proposed that cities shall adopt an arbitrary system whether that system is locally in de.iiand or not. Offers. Opportunity. As proved by experience in some 125 cities in the United States, the city manager plan offers a real opportunity to obtain betterment in city government. The scheme never is discarded once it goes in effect, according to the statistics. There nury be cities tnat do not care to adjust their affairs to the plan, but on the other hand, it is pointed out, there are many cities ihat strongly desire to. go to a vote on the question. Here are some of .the good things the commission form of government has done for many cities where it has been used: . It has eliminated party designations rnd has put the selection of city managers on a basis purely local and practical Instead of persisting in the plan of fighting city elections on the tariff issue or on some other national question such as the currency. Nominate by Petition. Under the plan nomination by petition has been made possible. Financial control over expenditures has been improved and responsibility lor good government, economy and Fervice has been definitely centralized as it should be. Under the commission plan, as has been suggested, the ballot has been t-hortened and the old ward system of representation, with its narrow demands and petty trades for selfish ends has been done away with. In the city manager plan some of the weak points in the commission form of city government have been obviated in large measure. The. city manager has come to be a recognized factor. There is a field for good men in this profession. Public service thus has become a real career. One Expert Good. With a trained city manager in charge the city has one expert head rather than half a dozen amateurs. It lends to expert service and calls for the civil service principle of continuing experts in service for the eood of all. With a trained expert in city management on the job better administrative efficiency is made certain, which is precisely what the good people of every city most desire in their local affairs. Galveston and Dayton, cities re-born out of disaster, adopted altered forms of management. A score of years ago ihe commission form was chosen by Galveston. Five or more years ago Dayton took on the city manager plan. The principle is an old one. In the early days the cities were governed by commissions. The party plan and the "federal"system now in vogue was erected as a means for fostering and s trengthening political party organizations in off-years. The general demand for a return to the commission form or to the city manager plan fomunieipalities indicates strongly that many cities do not look upon the existing system as a success.

OPPOSE INTERFERENCE WITH NIAGARA FALLS ( By Associated Press WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. An effort to interfere with the present diversion of water for power from the Niagara, will result in inconvenience to business interests all over the country, according to a statement filed by the board of supervisors of Niagara county, with the federal power commission conducting hearings today on the disposition of water power obtained from the Niagara river. The county supervisors also declared that an additional twenty thousand cubic feet a second can be diverted from the Niagara river without interering with the scenic beauty of the locality, the navigability of the river or its integrity as a boundary stream. In view of the announced policy of the state of New York to demand litigation to determine its rights in its boundary waters, the state can formulate no definite policy, the supervisors said, in asking non-interference with the present power company. Niagara county includes Niagara Falls, Lockport, North Tonawanda. and several smaller cities on and near
the river. I
Representatives of three applicants
for power from above Niagar Falls, , ica, sailed from this port for Japan who conferred last night to settle i yesterday. - "any conflict that may exist among ' "
them" are expected today to be heard
by the commission. several applications for power below the falls also will be heard.
