Revision Of Tariffs.
To a congress which Is expected TO
remodel some of the tariff schedules,
Mr.. MacVeagh urges from the stand
point of experience the establishment
OF specific duties, instead OF al va
loren, wherever the nature of the
article involved makes that possible
He says:
1.-THE practice or adopting al va
loren duties adds to the ease and
quickness with which legislation may
be prepared; but that is its only help
full quality-and that lonely quality
has its palpable drawbacks. Ad va
loren duties lead directly to the great
majority of all the frauds upon the
revenues with which the Treasury De
partment has TO contend; and they do
all they can TO drive honest importers
out of business. They add exceeding
ly and are responsible in largest
measure for whatever Generalization
exists in the importing and customs
business. Theoretically ad valorem
duties may have an appeal but in
practice they are a delusion and a
snare"
There can be no question" he con-
cludes on this subject that the need
of rendering the administration of the
customs business OF the country sim
pie. prompt and certain, with a ra-
tional saving of useless expenditure
is an additional reason OF great weight
for the enlightened method of tariff
legislation to which the best sentiment
of the country has been looking for
ward for more than a quarter of a
century"

Mr.. MacVeagh recommends the APP
pointment of a commission, consisting
of representatives of congress and the
executive departments, TO evolve a
budget system for the government.
This is necessitated he says by the
widely scattered and disintegrated re-
sponsibilities governing estimates, APP
preparations and revenue.
The abolition of all the assay Of
fees, except the one at New York is
urged by the Secretary. They cost
the government $1S5,OOO yearly, and

he adds.
Other recommendation of Mr.. Mac
Veagh include: A contributory sys-
tenn of civil service retirement; trans
fer to the classified civil service of
a number of customs officials from coll
lector down; the imposition of the
nominal fee of $1.00 for protests to
the Board of General Appraisers in
customs assessments; extending the
one hundred dollars exemption from
duty granted returning residents to in
clude articles for household use, SOU
venirs, curios or gifts; provision for al
least two vessels a year for the rev.

use of certified checks in the payment

\ MINISTERIAL VIEW.

Milton, ore, June 2S, 1911.
Editor East Oregonian:
In the Semi-Weekly East Orego-
nian 1 read on your editorial page
an article headed Bloody Days" in
which you recount the crimes of the
past week in the northwest, two Of
the worst here in Umatilla county. At
the close Of the article you ask the
question What is the matter? Is
there blood on the moon that the
northwest should undergo such a car
nival Of crime?"
Permit me to say for your en-
lightenment, no, there is no blood
on the moon. 1t is nearer home than
the moon. In fact the moon has
nothing to do with it. The daily and
weekly newspapers and every educa-
tional agency in the country has a
share in the responsibility for such a
state Of affairs. The consciousness of
God and responsibility TO Him is be-
ing left out Of the education Of the
people. His holy laws contained in
the ten commandments are being ig-
nored and set aside, the press, the
public school and many Of the lead
ers and teachers Of the people are
leaving God and His book out of their
list and "professing themselves wise
have become fools" blind leaders of
the blind"

AN Effective BALLOT.

The Short Ballot Organization of
which Governor Woodrow Wilson Of
New Jersey is president, has sent
forth the following in support Of its
movement;
"Give a man an ordinary sword
and you have armed him. If, on the
pretense Of giving him more power.
you lengthen that sword and make it
ten feet long, you have disarmel
him and he will then be an easy vic
tim for any opponent.
"Give an electorate a ballot Of
certain handy size and you have
armed it Expand the ballot beyond
q certain point, adding multiplicity
o. elective offices till the sheet looks
like a bed quilt and you have dis
armed that electorate. The ballot
can be so long as to disfranchise the
ordinary voter.
Whether this is what we have ac-
tually done in this country is simply
a question Of fact. II the average
voter is casting an intelligent vote
for all the state Legislators county
clerks, aldermen, state treasurers,
coroners, etc, then the ballot IS pre-
sumably not overloaded. If, however,
the general voting is blind ana none
but a few experts in citizenship are
masters of the ballot, then the ballot

by making some OF the petty offices
appointive. This process should be
continued till the ballot Is shor'
enough. When the voting is prac

Will 1T LOWER THE BILLS?

THE proof of the pudding is in
the eating" and the value of the re-
duced rates granted Pendleton pat
rCns by the Pacific Power & Light
company will be more fully known
after those rates have been in oper-
alton for a time.
The initial charge per kilowat hour
ir reduced from II cents to 12 cents
and DR.. Vincent, local manager for
the company, expresses the belief
that the new schedule will materially
decrease the company's gross revenue
in Pendleton although it may raise
the rates of a few.
To the layman the new schedule
seems complex. There are so many
classifications and. varying discounts
that it is difficult to analyze the price
list. Especially since there are few
who know what technical charges
have prevailed in the past
However people do know the size
Of the bills they have been paying
monthly and when the monthly bills
are presented under the new schedule
they will be able to see clearly just
what the reduction means. Of course
i. will avail nothing if the reduced
rate per Iilowat hour does not mean
q reduction in the amount of coin the
customer has to dig up each month.
The East Oregonian is an optimist-
il paper and so is going to hope that
the new schedule will mean a sub
stantial reduction in the local light
rates and also this paper will hope
that there will not be many instances
where the rates will have to be in
creased rather than lowered. It is
always unsatisfactory to have a she'd
Ule reduced" upwards as certain
tariff makers have found out. May
the new light rates be sufficiently
lower that patrons will have no diff
ficulty telling which way the thing
has gone.

ucally all intelligent and every Off
cial is getting adequate scrutiny by
his constituents, then, ana not till
then, the work is complete ana You
have achieved a practical ana real
democracy.
To simplify politics thus, to make
i, really the peoples property in:
stead of learned profession, is the
mission of those who are now preach
ing the Short Ballot principle. Many
Americans, sunk in the political
.superstitions of the Jacksonian period
shiver at the thought of taking away
from the people" the power Of elect
ing Coroners and clerks ana treas
urers. That huge, unusable, bewil-
dering ballot looks formidable. just
as a ten-foot sword does, ana to
shorten it seems, to some, unfriendly.
The best answer to the protest is
in the short Ballot Organizations
slogan-'The long ballot is the poll
tician's ballot. The short Ballot is
the peoples banotv"
In the view of the East Oregonian
there is much merit in the call for a
shorter ballot. In states like Oregon
where we have the direct primary
and initiative and referendum it is
particularly desirable to shorten the
ballot when possible to do so. This
paper has many times suggested that
the ballot could be shortened in this
state by Having technical posts like
the state printer, food commissioner
and county school superintendent,
filled by appointment rather than by
election.
still the short ballot men should
act with discretion in proposing their
reforms If they attempt too much
.ar one fell swoop they may do more
harm than good.

THE REASON FOR CRIME.

Rev. Levi Johnson of Milton. a
very estimable man. gives s-his theory
as to why there so much blood and
crime. 1T is because the press, the
public school and many of the lead
ers and teachers of the people are
leaving God and his book out of their
list"
But Mr.. Johnson takes narrow
view of affairs. He thinks the wor-
ship of God is confined entirely to
churches and to reading the holy
book. 1t is not. No one, savage or
civilized, leaves God out of his life
Some people think they do but it is
largely because different people hold
different conceptions as to God. Does
serving God consist merely in read
ing scriptures and in attending par
ticular churches? In the view of
many people the whole earth, indoors
and out is a church where people
worship all the time by doing what
seems right and for the advance
ment of mankind. They hold that
professed followers of the Lord have
not the close monopoly on affairs
many of them think they have.
In the opinion of those. who take
the liberal view of affairs bloody
crimes occur because mankind is not
yet perfect. Man is rising animal,
not a fallen angel and the wonder is
not that he has sunk. so low but that
he has risen 50 high in such a short
time.
However, Rev. Johnson is quite
right also. righteousness exalteth
a nation but sin is a reproach to any
people"
