INDIAN ON THE CENT.

Not content with his experience in
eliminating In God We Trust from

has determined to replace the Indian
head on the copper cent with Lincoln ;

gone up all over the country. The In

cHIcKEN-HEAoEp LOGIC.

One Of the reasons advanced against
the Des Moines plan of city government
IS furnished by a resident OF another
Iowa town, who says the plan is objec-
tionable because it confers too much
power on individuals. He thinks the
commissioner in charge Of roads and
street improvements, for instance, is
given too much authority 1t is all
right, he adds, if the man in charge is
as capable as the Des Moines man hold
ing that position at present, but if a
bad man got in it would be awful
If that isn't the argument or chicken
intellect. then the hens brain capacity
has teen underestir lated. Take Salt
Lake. for instance: The street improve
ments amounting in the past few years
TO an enormous sum in cost, are planned
by the city engineer bids are asked for
by the board Of public works which
also awards the contracts. The council
has to appropriate the money for the
city's share and stand back of the
board. and the board names the inspect
ors who are supposed to see that the
work is properly done, but never do it.
In several sidewalk districts right
now the property owners are protest
. ing vainiy because botched work is be-
ing permitted by the inspectors. The
engineer claims ne should have charge
of inspection. and the council wanders
around the subject with a divided au-
thority and no immediate object I'm life
but to get Jobs for incompetent cor
stituents. In the salt Lake system no
one has any authority and no one can
be held down for responsibility when
contractors skimp and inspectors con-
nive at robbery of the property owners.
In the Des Moines system one man is
known to have the authority and that
one man can he reached II anything
crooked or foolish is going on in his de-
partment
Any system is bad if administered by
bad men; even the chicken intellect
knows that. But a dozen incompetents

ccHooL BOARD AFFAIRS.

The board of education has major
ity in its membership that has been re-
garded with respect To them is due
the confidence which has heretofore
been reposed in the board, confidence
which has Condoned. without serious
criticism, the secrecy with which much
of its business was transacted. These
members owe it to their own good
name to clear up the suspicion which
attaches to the department of buildings
and its superintendent, and other irreg-
ularities.
No honest motive can account for a
system which pays men in public en-
ploy under an assumed name: no stand
ard of public affairs justifies the en-
plOyment of relatives of members by
wholesale. Mr.. Martin seems to think
it is none of the public's business that
supplies are missing, but it will be
noted as a specimen of Mr.. Martins
ethics that the chief appointment of an
employe made by the board at its last
session gave the job to a man who has
been associated with Martin in private
business.
In the recent election OF board MEM
bers The Herald refused to consider
Martin and Giauque as desirable can
didates: it has had no reason since to
doubt the wisdom of that judgment,
but on the contrary it has more reason
now than ever to think that their con-
nection with the board is distinctly in
furious to the public service which they
are called on to administer Less Sc
crecy and more regard for the obliga-
lions of a public trust would do much
to preserve the faith in the boards in
tegrity which is in a fair way to suffer
at the hands Of unworthy members.

NEW FACES REPLACE OLD.

With the passing of the Sixtieth con-
gress, several well-knovn men will dis
appear from public life. First and fore
most in the list is Senator Teller. who
was elected to the senate when Colo
RADIO was admitted to the union in the
centennial year, and has served con-
tinuously ever since, save four years
spent as secretary of the interior. Sen
ator Teller entered the upper house as
a Republican and retires a Democrat.
OF the other more or less distinguished
senators who so out of office today
may be mentioned Foraker Of Ohio,
Hemenway of Indiana, Platt of New
York. Long of Kansas. HansbrOugh of
North Dakota, Fulton of Oregon, An
keny of Washington and Hopkins Of
Illinois. The last named has a bare
chance of reelection.

seventh congress, and has served twen-
ty-two years in the lower house. an

him out in the cold for six years; James
S. Sherman retires from the house to
become vice president after serving ten

fourteen years and the latter twelve;

years, will be heard no more. for the
present at least, in the lower house;
Jenkins of Wisconsin, chairman of the

well as several others OF less caliber
and fame.
The Sixtieth congress has been dis
tinguished for the frequency of It's dis
putes and disagreements with the presi-
dent. the tension having become ex-
eeedingly acute at times. The last ses-
sion has also been marked by an effort

members. so-called insurgents" to
amend the house rules and render the

One of the most -. ut political
changes during the past two years, SO
far as the Democratic party IS con-
cerned. was the elevation of Champ
Clark as minority leader in place of
John Sharp Williams, who has been
elected to the senate.

be that the Sixtieth congress was barely

THE FIRST PROBLEM.

The Republican congress which closes
its existence today outdid all its prede-
cessors in the amount of appropriations,
exceeding the billion-doIlar limit by
some scandaIous millions, in spite of a
constantly increasing deficit in the ma
tionaI treasury. 1t made no effort to
cut down the pork barrels" it stinted
no department of government, and it
made no provision for revenue to meet
the deficit, leaving that cheerful job to
an incoming administration which is
pledged to d reform of the tariff.
That the extravaganza in appropTia-
tons was deliberate and intentional is
thoroughly understood. The purpose
was to pile up expenses so tremendous
ly that any real tariff reform would be
impossible, because the need for rev.
enue would compel the retention of high
import duties. If reform can be choked
TO death with a big deficit, why prac-
tice the economy which sound business
sense would recommend in such an
emergency?
made that the new administration may
find d way to impose AN income tax
that Will stand the test of review by the
supreme court. ever though that august
body has already decided against that
form of taxation. If such a law can be
devised and made operative, it will pave
the way for d much-needed adjustment
of the inequalities of taxation. The
tariff has become so clearly an agency
of oppression and injustice TO the pro-
ducing and consuming classes that it is
odious TO a large proportion Of the peo-
pie, Republicans as well as Democrats.
Il is the object OF such condemnation
that the Republican party must fulfil
its pledge to reform it honestly or pre-
pare for defeat i'm the next congression-
al election. The new president recog-
nizes this fact, the progressive element
of his party demands revision, the peo-
pie as d whole are determined to have
it.
Meanwhile, the problem of revenue
for the government with its enormous
requirements in Panama and the con-
stantly increasing army of public en-
ployes, will be the first grave question
of state for the incoming administra-
ton. Whatever is done ought to be
done quickly, for the whole country
awaits the outcome of the special ses-
sion before it takes up anew the indus
trial march which has been halted for
eighteen months by a Republican panic
