COMMIOSIOhld FOR Ci'i'iEo.
(New York Tribune.)
Little attention has been paid to
the spread in this country of the com-
mission plan of city government. No
municipality in this state has yet tried
the commission plan, because the Leg
isiature .has refused to sanction the
. necessary charter alterations. iludalo
has been anxious to make the experio
meat, but failed to secure permission
from Albany. Mount Vernon. Lock.
port and Saratoga Springs have also
been applicants for authority to join
the list of commission cities. in the
neighboring states‘of New Jersey.)
Pennsylvania. Connecticut and Ver-
mont the old municipal order remains
undisturbed. so that the progress of
the substitute plan has largely escap-
ed notice in this part of the country.
A tabulation recently issued by the
Short Ballot Association shows that
one hundred and fourteen American
cities are now under the commission
form of government Most of them
are towns which have less than 25,000
inhabitants. The largest cities which
have made the experiment are Oas-
land. Cal.. with 160.174 inhabitants;
Memphis. Team. with 1:11.105. and Boo
kans. Wash. with 104,402. The com-
mission plan has made some headway
in meaty-three of the forty-six states.
those in which it has met with most
encouragement being California. il-
linois, lowa Kansas, Oklahoma. South
Dakota and Texas. in Texas, Austin
ballss. Forth Worth and Houston have
followed the example of Galveston. and
San Antonio is the only large city now
operating under the old system. in
Kansas. Kansas City. Wichita. Topeka
and Leavenworth have commissions.
and in lows. Burlington. Cedar Rapids.
Davenyort. Des Moises. Fort Dodge.
Keohuk and Sioux City have gone over
to the newplan. Council Bluffs being
the only important lown city which
has not embraced it.

suhlt'sntial strength of the movement

senator Donovan said that n repu-
ble attorney had appeared before the
judiciary committee. asking for the
Investigation of the court. in bol-
stering up the omciala of this court a
burden is being carried which fair men
will not lndorse. Under the charges
made an ivestlgstion should have been
made instead of summarily putting
aside. The judges of the court should
have asked for the investigation. The
court in Greenwich was established in
lllllll. For a few years it was presided
over by Colonel lioyt. a highly educa-
ted man and who was the soul of hon-
or. « The town of Greenwich is one of
the most prosperous towns in the state.
Senator Donovan road figures showing
the expenses of the court. amounting
to 85.700 last year; The court is a close
corporation. No one can practice law
in the court except he is personally
acceptable to those who control the
court. This is a terrible charge to
make.
The judge will appear before the de-
puty judge in a defense of an accused,

in any civilized community?
Should a lml‘liOil who has a callus for
action be obliged to go to a particular
uttorney? A member of the Judiciary
committee is the prosecuting attorney
for the court of common pious. who is
appointed at a salary of $2.500. and
Who is appointed by the judge whose
nephew is connected with the local
court of Greenwich. llu (Senator Don-
oven) hold that that prosecuting at-
torney should not have sat on the case
as it member of the committee on the
judiciary. The lawyers of the state
are expected to do something for the
state in return for what the state has
done for them, lie recalled the fact
that in 1905 there was a bill introduced
into the general assembly abolishing
the criminal side of the court of com-
mon pleas for Fairdeld county. it
was shown that the duties were very
light and that it was something strange
to have a term last two days. and a
term of one' week was something ex-
traordinary. instead of abolishing the
court the salaries of the oiilciala were
raised. What do the powers that be
do? They holster up and impose on
the state in local judgoshlps a type of
lawyers who are a disgrace to the
state of Connecticut. it is impossible
to get justice in the court of (indoor
wlch unless one of the colorie of law:
lore is employed. Those who appeared
before the judiciary committee were
thrown out and were refused their
day in court. The right of petition
should not be denied. The denial of it
has resulted in resolution. lie said
the lawyers connected with the courts
received from the stain about one mil-
lion dolare a year. The physicians give
their services for nothing at times but
the lawyers don't.
Senator Judson said that the sonar
tor from the Twenty-sixth district
«new that. his orations were helpful
ill political assets. it was the senator‘s
'llflll’i duty to lay his charges before
the judlf‘lnr)’ committee. ilui the sour
ator from tho Twenty-sixth was silent
in regard to this information at the
time and place when it should have
been properly presented. The senator
was a Witness to the proceedings be»
fore the judiciary committee. The at
torney who appeared for the contest-
ants stated to the committee that in
his valiac lay the damning proof of
the statements he had made. The com-
mittee instructed him to producc his
proof and he was naaurcd that he
would hc giver; an oportunlty to do so.
This young manwthc attorney-«said.
in an lnsoleni manner. that hr- would
lay in his proof when he had a proper
tribunal. When asked what he thought
was a proper tribunal he replied the ‘
commission which he wished the gov-
ernor to appoint. Then for the first
time he (donate:- .ludsoul learned that
a resolution had been introduced for a
commission to investigate the town
court of Greenwich. accompanied by
mapecliiiioations or charges. it was
pointed out to the young man that
the committee could not favorably re-
port on such a resolution without ape-
eiiic charges. lie was given every
opportunity on that day or any ad-
iourned day to produce his evidence.
The young man did not produce a
single scrap of evidence against the
Judge. deputy judge or other oilicials
of the Greenwich court. Senator Jud-
