WASH|NGTON|ANS
HAVE BIG GRIEF
This Year They Will Not Get
Bulk OF the Jobs TAX
ing Census.
BLAME PLACED ON SENATE
CIVIL SERVICE LAW PROVIDES
THAT PLACES IN FEDERAL SER.
VICE SHALL De DIVIDED
EQUALLY.
BY sheldon s. Cline.

Washington. April ga great
grief has fallen upon the District OF
Columbia. Residents Of the National
capital will not secure the bulk of jobs
to be provided by the taking Of the
next federal census. Nor will they be
able to get more than their allotted
share of places covered by the civil
service anywhere under the govern.
ment.
A senate amendment to the census
bill is to blame The amendment is
only few lines In length, but it is
pregnant with potency. It reads:
Provided, that hereafter all exam.
nations of applicants for positions in
the government service, from any
state or territory. snail be had in the
state or territory in which such appli'
cant resides, and no person shall be
eligible for such examination or ap
pointment unless he or she shall have
been actually domiciled in such state
or territory for at least one year pre-
GlOllS to S0Cn eXamlnatlOn.
A Fair Division.
The civil service law provides that
places in the government service snail
be apportioned among the states and
territories and the District of Column
bia according to population. The Dis
trict of Columbia always has great
many more persons in the government
service than it's quota. It. has been
the practice OF residents of the Dis
trict ambitious to connect with Uncle
Sam, pay roll, therefore, to claim
theoretical residence in states which
Still had appointments to their credit
The fact that q mans grandfather liv.
ed In Ohio or that his great-aunt ii
Illinois before the civil war has been
deemed sufficient excuse to claim resi-
dence In those states.
The result has been that people
born and raised In the District Of Co
lumbia have been getting places that
should have gone to actual residents
Of Ohio and Illinois and other states
Being ON the ground they were in pc.
Bition to take advantage of openings
and there has been constantly increas.
Ing complaint that states were being
charged with appointments which did
not belong to them. The senate am.
endment TO the census bill viii put q

Canada have increased to the extent
of 10, 900 and corresponding increase
l., said to have occurred in the United
States. Under the shelter OF the stars
and stripes there are now 275, 900
Indians, One half of these are listed
as wearing civilized garb and one
fourth are said to be able to read and
speak English. The old time Indian
with his blanket and feather is slowly
but surely passing. But it seems that
taken altogether the Indians of the
United States are holding their own,
iI the matter of numbers, if they are
not actually increasing.
But there is one thing that is go,
ing to make it very difficult for the
Indians to remain permanently upon
this earth. They do not fit into the
modern economical system The In
dian does not make a very successful
farmer, largely because he cannot re-
sist the temptation to sell his land.
OF the other fields of usefulness few
are open to him. He wont do for a
house servant because the Chinese and
Japanese both excel him in that line.
He would be equally out of place as
porter or a bootblack. So what can
Poor Lo" 90? 1t is hard problem
but it is one that must be solved il
the Indian is to stay Regardless Of
what statistics may show at this time
the redmen will eventually go unless
he can find some useful vocation.

NOT \ PROGRESSIVE"

Senator Jonathan Bourne delivered
a speech, into the record at least, up
on the subject of the corporation tax,
and his ever busy press agent has
forwarded copies of the same to the
papers of this state. Along with the
speech came copies Of the Washington
Herald containing a very laudatory
editorial upon the speech, the afore-
said editorial also being in the lam
guage Of the press agent.
But to the East Oregonian at least
Senator Bourne's speech does not ap-
peal Nor does the adulatory COM
ment of the Washington paper arouse
any admiration. 1t states that the
Oregon senator is man of the peo-
pie, a progressive type of statesman,
though conservative. In this view the
East Oregonian cannot coincide. Sem
ator Bourne is a consummate dema-
gogue rather than a statesman. He
was elected senator because of his
money and a very strong organization.
L. the republican primaries he ran
against four other gentlemen all of
whom have greater ability and more
estimable regulations than he. One
OF these men was Judge S. A. Lowell
and to him the East Oregonian gave
itg cordial support. This paper was
sorry Senator Bourne won the race.
though after his endorsement by the
people it urged the legislature to rati-
fy the choice. At this time the East
Oregonian is more than sorry that
Jonathan Bourne is the senior sena-
tor from oregon.
In his advocacy of the corporation
tax Senator Bourne has done nothing
to commend himself to the people OF
Oregon. It is notorious fact that
the corporation tax provision was in
serted into the tariff bill, not because
1t was wanted, but in order to head off
a more meritorious proposition, an
income tax. This fact was openly
avowed by Senator Aldrich, the re-
publican leader in the upper house.
Senator Bourne would be in a far
better position to pose as a pro
gressive senator and a man Of the
people" had he trained with the pro
gressives" Of the senate while the
tariff was under consideration. His
name should be with those Of LaFol-
lette, Beveridge and others who vot-
ed NAY" when the bill was upon its
final passage.

AN ELECTRIC ROAD.

In Saturdays East Oregonian there
was published a communication from
Fred H. Drake, formerly of this city
1t is a very interesting letter and one
that should be read by the farmers
and others who are now anxious to see
further road building in this county.
Through his experience in the Sacra-
mento valley the writer has seen the
wonderful benefits derived from cleo
tric roads. He believes this county
stands to prosper greatly by the con-
struction of an electric line from PEN
dleton to the Columbia, running
through the irrigated section.
That an electric line will eventually
be built from this place to the Col
umbia the East Oregonian firmly be-
lieves and it has often prophesied as
much. When the irrigated lands of
the west end are developed and the
towns of that section become larger
there will be great business for a
Pendleton-C Columbia river electric line.
Furthermore it would be we'll if the
road could extend east from Pendleton
as far as Weston. There is a natural
heavy traffic between Weston and
Pendleton. Then an electric line
leading from Weston via Athena to
Pendleton and thence on to the river
would serve to regulate grain freight
rates. Such being the case the farm
els Of the big wheat belt of the county
could we'll afford to assist in the
building of the road. Pendleton
property owners and business men
could afford to do the same because
OF the great advantage of the road to
Pendleton. The sooner such road Is
built the better will it be for Pendleton
and for the farmers too.
If everybody will but think electric
road, talk electric road and plan elec-
trio road very likely some such road
will be built in the near future.

GREAT cELEsRArIoN
 closEs BRILLIANTLY

spasmodic rains failed to spoil tee greatest Fourth ot July celebration and carnival ever heIa in the territory.
 Early this morning when the last hap |py dancer left.the ball room where the second grand masque ball was held, a few stragglers homeward bent, were shooting off the last of the frecrackers that helped to make up
 a celebration that would hardly be call. ed sane in the effete east.
 Never before was the Independence
 day celebrated so thoroughly as il was
 here in Bisbee this year. The old
 camp and Warren district did them selves indeed proud and showed to the
 hundreds of visitors that Bisbee is
 far from disheartened at past reverses
 and. by the lavish expenditures for a wholesome good time, that it's peo.
 pie were still generous and optimistic
 as to the future business outlook,
 To the Board of Trade several com.
 mittees that had the celebration in charge. 10 the school children, the many patriotic women. and to Captain
 II. N. Bigeiow of the Eighth cavaI. ". and his valiant troopers the city owes and tenders appreciative thanks. The one hundred and thirty-fourth anniversary of the Declaration of In. dependence has now passed into his tory and here in Bisbee, big as was
 the celebration, it can be said with pride. that no casualties resulted and that the best of order prevailed during + the three days.
