coNSrLAn SERHICE REFoRM.


The question Of reforming the con-
sular service. so as to divorce it from
politics and improve it's efficiency and
usefulness, must be sooner or later de-
termined and there is no good reason
for further delay in the matter on the
part of congress. The republican
party has always favored reform in
this service and it has been steadily
improved under republican administra-
tons, but there is needed specific legis-
lation for recognizing the service and
putting it upon a basis that will insure
the best attainable results. 1t may be
true, as some assert. that the consular
service Of the United States compares
favorably with that of any other oun
try. 1t is certainly a fact that there
are many capable, conscientious and
faithful men in the service. Yet there
Is no question that it can, as a whole,
be improved, and the way to do this
is to place it on a strictly business
basis, appointing only men who are
qualified for the service and retaining
in 1t all who prove themselves efficient
and faithful, regardless Of their politi-
cal atiliation.
In its annual report the Civil Service
commission gives attention to this mat
ter. urging that to maintain and in
crease our industrial pre-eminence we
ought to have by far the best consular
service in the world. I'VE should
have the quickest and most reliable
information as to our opportunities, as
well as business representatives who
are able to improve them. This can
only be done by a consular service
which is uniformly instructed and
alert" The report points out that under
our present system of patronage APP
pointments there is little security that
the men appointed are qualified for
their duties. While in the important
positions in Great Britain, Germany
and other European countries there are
men of the highest capacity and most
thorough equipment. there are other
positions OF which this cannot be said
OF the men who occupy them. This is
particularly true as to many Of u con-
suls in South America and the Orient,
few OF whom are even acquainted with
the language in which they are re.
CURED TO transact much of their bust
ness. The commission thinks that IL
is to the competitive system, as pur-
sued in other parts OF the public serv-
ice. that we must look for the per
manent betterment of the consular
branch and legislation is urged provid-
ing facilities for determining the com
parative qualifications Of applicants for
the consular service by meant of open,
competitive. nonpartsan examinations.
Bills are pending in congress making
provision for the reorganization OF the
Omaha daily bee., 1902-11-11
n BILL.

At the close of the last session of the
senate 1t was agreed that the bill pro-
viding for admission to statehood OF
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona
should be taken up as a special order
December 10 and considered until n vote
should be reached. A subcommittee Of
the senate committee on territories Is
now on the way to visit the territories
seeking admission, for the purpose Of
Investigating conditions In them and as
pertaining whether there is warrant for
their claims to admission. According to
reports from Washington the opposition
in the senate to giving these territories,
particularly New Mexico and Arizona,
statehood is likely to be as strong at the
coming session as ever. 1t is said that
Mexico and Arizona are largely Mexican
in population and that they have not
sufficient American population to entitle
them to become stntes with IN equal
older commemorative of the union. 1t is
also stated that the aim of Senator
Beverage and others is to amend the
bill so as to admit Oklahoma and leave
the other two territories to wait.
The republican party in its last ma.
tional platform said: 1--WE favor home
rule for and the early admission to
statehood of the territories of New Mex
leo, Arizona and Oklahoma" The con-
ditlons In those territories as to popula-
ton, and other requirements
are certainly as favorable now to their
admission to statehood as two years
Ago., when the republican party in effect
pledged itself to give them early state
hood. 1t is not to be doubted that a
majority of western republicans are in
favor of making those territories states.
The statehood bill was passed by the
house of representatives. and the senate
ought to concur in that action, which
complied with the virtual mandate of
the last republican national convention.

DEMOCRATIC GAINS IN JOWA.

Fusion organs in Nebraska, and,
c~uriously enough, among them some of
the most jealous champions OF Bryan
and his notions, are ~gleefully EN-
phasizing the democratic gains shown
by the Iowa election returns. While
the gains in general are hardly suffi-
cient to warrant a very high degree of
enthusiasm from any democratic point
Of view, II is true that there were
numerous gains in various parts of the
state, especially in the eastern or river
districts, in one of which, the Second,
Judge Wade was elected to congress.
But the fusion organs somehow over
look or are scrupulous not to mention
the most significant fact, which is that
the Iowa democracy has been able to
make gains only on the basis of the
Reputation of the Kansas City plat
form. 1t is no secret that Judge Wade
himself is an uncompromising gold
standard man, a point he has never
apologized for, but has always glorled
in, and tina he was among that large
body of Iowa democrats who gave their
votes and influence against William
Jennings Bryan. In other words, the
real democratic lesson Of the Iowa
election is that what Colonel Bryan
promptly denounced as "a policy of
cowardice," has been endorsed by the
rank and file Of Iowa democrats.
So far as democratic gains are con-
cerned, there is not now, and there
never has been, a genuine republican
majority of $4,000 in Iowa on the
legitimate historic issues between the
old parties. During the fifteen years
preceding 1896 the democracy had been
built ND to a respectable, powerful n
hopeful opposition on those issues. The
spectacular substitution of Organism for
historic democratic issues in the plat
form Of that year drove tens of thou
sands of Iowa democrats out OF the
marty. A very considerable proportion
of them permanently Joined the republi-
can party, but the large number, while
openly or silently repudiating Bryan
only waited for signs Of returning con-
servatism in the party to rejoin it. The
rejection of the Kansas City platform
by the state convention this year was.
taken by many as such a sign and the
returns merely reflect these conditions.
The Iowa democracy as yet is far
from having recovered the position
from which Organism cast it down. 1t
will take more than n state conVen-
ton to reassure the great body OF con-
sentative democrats in Iowa. They are
so independent and uncompromislng
h ~ not only will Organism have to be
put in its grave, but a tombstone
erected and the grass luxuriantly grow
ing over it before they will become
again a really formidable opposition

4 PLEA FoR THE TAxPAYER.

Exclusive of taxes levied upon public
improvements imposed upon property
directly benefited, the taxpayers of
Omaha are compelled to contribute an
nually about $1.500,OO0 toward the
maintenance of municipal government,
county and state governments and pub
lie schools. This continuous drain on
stitutes a burden under which not only
the home property owners have been
ground for years, but which has prac-
tlcally conflscated hundreds OF thou
sands Of dollars worth of real estate
that has no earning capacity.
1t is susceptible of proof that from
. to 10 per cent of the taxes levied and
collected are wasted or squandered upon
political sinecures. work shirkers and
improvements that should be paid for
by individuals benefited instead Of being
taxed up to property. With prudent
management and business methods from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year could readily
be Topped off from the tax levy without
reducing the pay of competent, efficient
and faithful employees. The question is,
when will they do it2"
About this time every year there is
loud talk about economy and retrench-
ment, but the new broom that is used
vigorously in January is worn out by
March and the %barnacle supernumer-
aries are reinstated on full pay to con-
tinue for another year. 1t would seem
to us that the time has come for a new
departure. Promises of turning over Il
new leaf are not bankabIe paper. The
taxpayers of Omaha want the new leaf
to stay turned twelve months after New
Years.

POLITICS In PORTO RICO.

The people of Porto Rico are acquiring
a knowledge of politics and are already
showing notable aptitude. There are
two parties in that interesting island,
the republican and the federal, and in
the election of November 4 the former
was successful. The opposition now
charges hat the result was obtained by
fraud, intimidation and violence, which
was countenanced by the insular gov
eminent, and an appeal is to be made
to the Washington authorities to look
into the matter.
There is perhaps substantial ground
for the allegation of the federal party,
at least in part, for it appears hat Sen
ator Spooner of Wisconsin has been
convinced that there is sufficient evil
dence in support OF the charge to Justify
him in presenting the matter to the at
tention of President Roosevelt and ask
ing that an official investigation be
made. 1t is not easy to believe, how
ever, that the American authorities in
Porto Rico have countenanced fraud
and intimidation, since it is not apparent
what could induce them to do so, and
they are well aware that such a course
would cause them to be summarily dealt
with at Washington. At all events there
seems to be good reason for an investi-
cation and doubtless it Will be ordered.
Porto Rico must be assured of fair and
free elections.

consular service and possibly some
action will be taken at the coming ses-
sion. The administration is favorable
to reorganization, the president having
urged it in his first message. The
commercial interests engaged in foreign
trade want it. as shown in repeated
petitions to congress. The republican
party in its last national platform, as it
had done before, declared in favor Of
the reorganization of the consular
service 'upon such a basis of appoint
ment and tenure as will render it still
more serviceable to the nations in
creasing trade" In view of all this 1t
would seem to be the plain duty Of
congress to enact without unnecessary
delay the required legislation.
