FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1912. ; WtEW CHARTER FOR CBLARLOTTE The Chronicle and ;all public-spirit ed citizens of Chariotte wish goaspeea to the special committee of the board '' of aldermen appointed? for the pur pose of Investigating the present city charter and' governmental machinery and recommending desirable changes. The task is a big one and is as great ' importance as any duty laid upon any committee during the present admin- istration, although : this has been . an administration of big things. Charlotte at present has a cumber- some and antequatea system of gov- : ernment, with a -board 'of aldermen, an executive board and a water board, Continual bickering and passage ' at . arms between these boards,: especial - . ly between the aldermanic board and the executive board are not only un pleasant but decidedly harmful. . It is a case of a "house divided against itself," and the tax-payers Cf the city and the general public are the suffer ers. There- is no question about it: The city - government . cannot ! be ad ministered as effectively, as economi cally or as smoothly and satisfactorily . under the present system as it could be under- a straight-out commission form. .The experience of other cities has shown this. And we do not have to go to Texas or the West to find examples. Columbia has ' prospered greatly -as a municipality since the -commission form was adopted. ' The same form has given great satisfac tion at Greensboro and at Wilmlng- .ton:--the; city is enjoying acceptable municipal government ' for the first t time within the memory of man al most. Wilmington presents an interesting and helpful ; example. Mr. r P. Q. of the city, spent a few days in Char , lotto ; recently and discussed the mat ter at length; with the editor- of. The jbuiuuiue. me cumnusaiun lurcn nas been in operation for iuust a little more than a year at Wilmington, but during that time it has amply demon strated its effectiveness and superior ! Ity over the old form. 'Each member : of , the commission is absolutely, re eponsible for his department of the city government and - the ; efficiency throughout every department has been increased, having the best attention and the best effort of the one man whom tbe people of the city hold re sponsible. The city has bought the sewerage system and has begun the in stallation of a complete new system to cover the entire city. - About 10 miles - of permanently - paved streecs have been built and other Important work has been done, including the cleaning up of the town by both the police and the health - departments, the latter of which is directed , by an aggressive and capable physician who has practically banished ' typhoid fe ver and flies from the city by thor ough and scientific work. And in all the large undertakings of , the ; city, economy has been made, possible an4 has been practiced to an extent thac would have been impossible under the old cumbersome,; Charlotte-liike form. - . j - - IlT J . .

" . ..The commission form charter pro posed for; Charlotte and voted upon a few years ago was killed . by thai feature which provided that the com- elect the mayor, Under the Wilming ton form the mayor is a member of the commission, the member receiving the highest vote' being made mayor. The recall Is a feature. of the commis sion and a most excellent one serving as an automatic stimulus and a check just as may be required, under vary- The great need of Charlotte today Is & simple commission form of mu nicipal ' government "The present form' is blocking the progress of the r.itv in more wava than nno anri thA Quicker we are rid .of it the better it will be.'

The final count in California gives that State, to Roosevelt. Well. Wilson tdoesn't need It and Jt may be' some consolation to, the Colonel, - .'s DISEASE AND WAR COMPARED. 'The current issue : of The Health Bulletin of the - North Carolina State Board of Health .appropriately prints an expression by Mr. R. D. W, Connor comparing war with disease in a most striking manner. ."The past 'will "teach us,' declared Mr. Connor, who by the wayIs one of the best. Informed and most cultured Tar Heels Jnthe-Capital City, "that the foundation upon which rests the . power and : stability of the' State is the physical wejl-being ot . Its people. . The battlefield soaked In human blood, 'strewn with mangled bodies, and groaning" from the suffer ing of its victims, 'fills us with ; un speakable '' loathings and, turning away with horror-stricken faces, We cry aloud: against 'man's inhumanity to man.' With a thousand voices from every pulpit and press in the land we denounce war as the J great crime against civilization, and upon a thou ttand elided r -trumpets we ? hall the dawn of universal peace as clviliza tion's last and greatest triumph. But If war is a -crime against .civilization what shall be said of the existence among us of those . conditions' Which produce preventable "disease ? ' ; Where war has claimed ija. thousands disease has reaped ; its tens , of thousands. During the civil war, whose heroes we honor, while J9.0(H brave North Caro Una, soldiers fell .' on the battlefield, disease. Increased the number to more than 40,000. Fbr every American sol dier killed in that struggle by -bullets. three tell- before the - invisible -shafts of disease. During the Spanish-Amer lean war the common house-fly slew, five times as ' many American soldiers as were killed by Spaniards, and- in that short and unequal struggle ' for every American soldier ', who .fell , be fore a Spanish bullet disease slew 14, Rome, once the world's mightiest empire, we are told, was destroyed by malaria. Last year alone in the unit ed states, among the most enlightened people ;;. on earth v one single i prevent able disease destroyed as ' many per sons as were slain on both sides dur ing the four years of the Civil War. No people weak and slcklyTfrbm liv ing under unsanitary conditions, can ever make a strong, a prosperous and happy community. We shall learn '"no lesson from the past more vital to our welfare than the lesson that It ; is the duty of every; community -to pro tect the, lives and , the health ' of Its people., - : . . ' :' ' y --'s : Mr; Connor was speaking from the standpoint of the . humanitarian. There is another viewpoint that muse appeal to every thinking person, and this is : the economic, In Charlotte, for instance the health department is acknowledged to be anything but ef ficient because of ' the lack of funds and. for other reasons. A very small tax for this department, if administer ed scientifically and effectivelr. f to practically .eliminate typhoid fever and possibly some other diseases from this city and f would " greatly reduce - the amount; of sickness and: th number of deaths in the city. The amount spent by the people for" drugs, - doc tors' bills and hospital" bills, funeral expenses and for other expenses in curred because of the sickness that would be prevented is probably sev eral times -what, the increased appro priation for the . health ' department would be. This is the viewpoint that must appeal to the voter, the .tax-payer and the city official regardless of their humanitarlanism. "r" r WDCiMINGTON OUTGROWS ITSELF. The city of Wilmington Is simply outgrowing 4 Itself. "J Notwithstanding the fact that . several real apartment houses of five and six stories and . a large number of residences of varying sizes have been built during the last few years the city is not able now to supply the demand for residences. So acute has the- situation become that a dozen real estate dealers. and firms of , the city have united, in a public appeal to tlie . moneyed : msn of tlfe city to come to the rescue. This ap peal is an Interesting document for a North Carolina city: . ( "Whereas, new-families are coming to Wilmington . every week, and al though new . houses . are being built constantly, we Are embarrassed every day by calls for houses of all sixes, renting from f 5 a' month to $ 40, that we cannot supply, how - .. ; ; ; tTheref ore, .' we, ' the ' : undersigned real estate dealers .make :this public request of the men of capital of Wll mingt6n that they build : enough houses to accommodate, the-. popula tion, present- and prospective, of our city." - No greater evidence could be given of the rapid : growth , of -North Caro lina's Coast City. The capitalist of the place will no doubt supply the demand very quickly.' A number t of beauti ful new suburbs are being developed for all .classes of. homes and - if . the already rapid rate of building js accel erated, Wilmington will probably show a clean pair of heels to all other cit ies in the State' with the exception of Charlotte, whose - building activities for the past few-years have probably been 100 , per cent greater than any other cityj in 'the "State. ' . . Wllmingtdn and Winston ate both preparing to -establish a system lot parks that will be worth whll. Char lotte has a number, of parks but not' enough and those that we do have are not kept ; In ag good order as they should be. j Here is . one instance v in which Charlotte can get points "from some of her sister cities. ' : And now comes Asheville; with a proposition to greatly enlarge and im prove her country club, - the improve ments to Include a better golf course. The Mountain City " Just insists upon I staying In Charlotte's company.- - Cotton is 1- bringing , an j excellent price this year and tobacco . is selling at more satisfactory, figures than for several , years. , North " Carolina far mers will get their ; millions'tf or these crops this year and this does not take into account peanuts, ' potatoes, jruck, apples and" other money crops, nor corn, small grains and hay. -" Still an other ' crop that could be developed to an enormous, extent at great profit to the farmer is syrup' cane. A, good grade of cane syrup, such as can; be produced in North Carolina, with ;.an established brand : and . properly ad vertised, would ' quickly drive several of the present popular brands from the market or :f orce, them to be sold as second rate goods. . . -V The majority opinion, seems t!o be In favor of an , extra session: of Congress just as soon as the Democratic admin istration comes in.
