A DEMOCRATIC SUGGESTION.

(Waterloo Times Tribune (Dem)l
Let's reverse the slogan of Tilden
for the democracy of 1910-1119 and
reform our own ideas and methods as
a safe basis for the retrenchment we
need and must have In selecting our
! men for congress and legislature let's
be sure they are good and honest and
wise business men, first of all Then
secure their promise of business like
administration of public affairs and
set few things before them TO COM
mence on. Here are few worth try
ing:
Lop off all government employees
kept on the rolls only as reward for
political service.
Stop the payment of pensions TO all
employed in public service at ade-
quate emolunent
Secure the railroad transportation
Of United States mail at the same rate
given now to the express companies
as step TO bettermenr.
Stop the annual weighing test of
mail service or purify it Of the graft
in contract letting.
Cut down or eliminate the excessive
franking system of mail service to
congressman and governmental en-
ployes.
Establish a parcels post upon rigid
business lines.
Make all government equipment and
supplies open to honest bidding and
punish all attempts at evasion or
fraudulent filling of such contracts
with fitting terms in the government
prisons.
Make every official rank in army
and navy subject to e2aminarory quail
ification of knowledge and efficiency
in practical discharge of the duties de-
volving upon the office.
/ Abolish politics in every national de-
partment and appoint upon competi
tive examination and promote or dig
charge upon efficiency as shown by
business results at the end of each six
months or year of service
Revise the tariff upon the basis Of
just sufficient import tax to meet rev.
enue needs-with all trust made goods
and raw materials on the free list.
| Assist the states to regulate all pub
! lie utilities wholly within their bound
aries and set the example by regulat-
ing all public utilities of a national
scope and character.
| Secure the establishment OF the pos
tai savings bank for the people and
| not for Wall street. for all the people
! and not for selected few.
/ President Taft fears socialism. No
| fear of socialism need be considered
