GOVERNMENT AS A BUSINESS

1t is just beginning to dawn upon
the American people that the demand
for efficiency in public servants is
really the recognition Of the fact that
government--which is the administra-
ton of public affairs-is q business
that demands training as we'll as GER
tain we'll defined aptitudes on the
part of the person who holds the Of
of public affairs. OF late years we
have seen the necessity of having an
expert and efficient business man go
over the books and account of state,
county and municipal offices and es-
tablish system and stop leakages, and
the question arises why not put the
efficiently trained man there in the
first place
The progressive development in
this point and recognize the demand
for such course. Milwaukee has
established Bureau of Economy and
Efficiency, headed by Professor John
r. Commons. a student of municipal
problems, whose published writings
are conclusive evidence that he is
master of the subject to which he
has devoted his talents, and Mil
waukee is already in a position to
-;
The new bureau has been in opera
ton only few months. Among its
achievements in that time is the for
nation of a system of garbage col
lection which will save the city &c.
900 a year, a combined fire and police
alarm system which will cut the ex-
penditure for such service almost in
half, and a paving system which will
result in an annual saving of more
than a quarter of a million dollars
And this is not all the Bureau OF
Economy and Efficiency is going right
the cost and improving the service
and pointing out the way to reforms
which if adopted will give Milwaukee
the cheapest and most efficient gov
eminent of any city in the United
States. 49,, $685..
In the long list of subjects taken
up by this bureau are punishment OF
wages, woman's wages, free legal aid
accident to workers, housing condi-
lions, administrative organization, wa

GOVERNOR WILSON TOO EAGER

Governor Woodrow Wilson is cer-
tainly making hay while the sun
shines in his bid for the presidency.
There are friends of Governor Will
son and the cause he represents who
wish that he was not quite so eager
In his quest. His precipitous haste
reminds one Of the mistakes that
Bryan made in his first campaign
when he evidenced the fact that he
was willing to be the nominee of all
parties or factions that were protest.
ng against republican rule.
When we read that Governor Will
Jon is out in Wisconsin hobnobbing
with the progressive republicans and
telling them that he sees no differ
ence between his principles and the
ones that they profess, we have an
apprehension that he is doing his per-
may be that Governor Wilson is wiser
In his day in his day and generation
than the other Sons Of Light, but he
is giving his enemies an opportunity
to draw invidious comparisons. He
had better make his fight wholly
within democratic lines and let the
progressive republicans come to him
than to go into the byways and
hedges gathering up recruits
Governor Wilson is easily first
among the democratic aspirants for
presidential honors, but he is allow
ing an entering wedge of criticism to
be lodged against him here that is
likely to lose him the coveted honor.
1t is already source of adverse COM
ment on the part of some of the
members of the democratic press that
Governor Wilson is drifting from his
moorings and is likely to be wrecked
on the rocks of radicalism No can
didate can afford to be all things to
all men. He must find his place and
stand pat.
If Taft is to be the republican
candidate, and this seems most prob
aUie, then in the estimation of a great
Il A4ber of American citizens Gov.
y ..son is the most desirable candi-
dale to oppose him. This would put
the campaign issues upon high
plane, and we would be sorry to have
Governor Wilson cheaper his position
by bidding in the open market for
factional support.

A WORD TO THE WISE SUFFI.
GENT

The hint thrown out from the inter-
view with a prominent fruit grower
as to the timeliness of preparing the
soil on the Tieton and other of the
new orchard tracts for next seasons
planting will be read with interest
and profit by those who are waiting
to begin next season on the develop
ment of their lands. Many are new
corners and not in touch with the sit
uation. To these the hint is merely
a word to the wise.
The points made in the interview
will amply sustain the position taken
by the grower who speaks from am
pie experience and assurance that he
is covering the ground. The soil is
light and more easily moved, hen ca
can be moved with less expense. The
land graded at this time will be in
better condition for seeding or plant
ing in the spring, and mainly because
of the fact that it has been made the
receptacle of the winter moisture and
has it in storage.
The suggestions for doing the work
now in the slack season and not only
providing work for willing workers
but securing the best returns for the
outlay Of your money will appeal to
the settlers as being we'll worth con-
sidering. The long fall and mild win
tiers will enable those seeking to de-
velop their lands an opportunity 70
get much done at this season of the
var and guard against what loss might
arise next spring because of the fact
that the rush season is on and labor
that is now idle we'll employed in
other industries.

NEW INDUSTRIES FOR THE COAST

Officers of the Manufacturers asso-
citation have received letters from
Eastern manufacturers who are seek
ing locations for a chain Of textile
mills to be located on the Pacific coast
previous to the opening of the Panama
canal The men are experienced in
the manufacture Of wooden cloths and
worsted fabrics. With the opening Of
the canal these Fasteners are of the
opinion that it will not difficult to get
experienced factory hands on the Pa
ciflc coast. The plan in it's present
form is to establish wooden factory
near Seattle, another close to Port
land, and a worstd mill in Portland
These mills will form the nucleus for
the operations on the Western coast
and promise to be the first step in an
extensive manufacturing development.
At present wool is clipped here and
sent East before securing, and the
weight of the dirt and sand in the
wool is paid for at wool rates; this loss
is borne by the Eastern mills. They
then manufacture the cloths and ship
them back to the Northwest. The saw.
ing on the freight on the scourings
alone involves a vast sum of money
each year. The establishment of scour-
ing mills Of large capacity are contem-
plated in the chain of factories in Ore
gon and Washington. 1t is higly prob
able that securing mills will be estab-
lished in Montana and Idaho.

Sheep as Burden Bearers

In the northern part of India sheep
are put to a use unthought Of in Eu-
ropean countries. The mountain
paths among the foothills of the
Himalayas are so precipitous that the
sheep. more sure-footed than larger
beasts, are preferred as burden car
riers.
The load for each sheep is from
16 to 20 pounds. The sheep are
driven from village to village. with
the wool still growing and In each
town the farmer shears as much wool
as he can sell there and loads the
sheep with the grain he receives in
exchange. After his flock has been
sheared he turns it homeward, each
sheep having on its back a small bag
containing the purchased grain.

schools of st. Louis. This has beer
brought about by the establishment,
of domestic departments, and the
movement has not only proved its
worth in this particular instance but
stands to be of even greater service

but be of value in helping to solve
the problem of the increased cost OF

OUTLOOK PUMPING PLANT
Secretary Fisher Advises as to Prac-
ticability and Is Likely to
Recommend Construction

SUNNYSIDE, Oct. 3O.-Special
to the Herald) Ralph B.
Williamson, of North Yakima, recent
ly received a communication from rec
lamation officials in Washington, ID.
c., relative to the Outlook pumping
plant which is regarded as placing
that project much nearer the realms
Of probability than any previous ac-
ton which it has been possible to
secure. The letter, it is stated, was
in response to statement of the facts
in the case recently made to Secre-
tary Fisher, and, in effect, stated that
apparently there is no question Of
practicability of the project and that
in all probability the secretary will
recommend the construction Of the
necessary plant If sufficient funds can
be transferred from some project
where they are not Immediately nee
essary. As this Is frequently done
there seems small doubt that the work
on the outlook pumping plant may be
begun next year. g

Going After Power

Eastern cities that own their water
systems are beginning to look more
sharply into the possible development
of electrical power in cases where the
water comes down under more of u
head than is needed for mere distri-
button. This is likely to result in many
cities esta blishing their own lighting
plants and in some cases developing Il
great deal of power for sale for manu-
featuring purposes. Under the system
that prevailed a few years ago all this
energy would be grabbed by private
individuals, but thanks to the growth
of ideas Of conservation 1t is likely
now to be used for the community
good.

Teaching the farmers how to farm,
is now one of the great movements Of
the day. Agricultural colleges and
the railroads are joining hands in IN
educational movement that will mean
more to the country in the way of
practical demonstration than any at
tempt made in many years. The
growth of this movement and the
awakened interest that follows in the
wake of the demonstration trains is
an indication that the work is pro-
crossing along popular lines. An out
line of campaign planned for Oregon
in demonstration train just starting
on trip shows that the train will
carry display of poultry and an ex-
hibit of hogs and other exhibits TO be
able to illustrate in the most practical
manner the lessons sought to be
taught in the matter of stock raising
The letters pouring in to the company
show that the farmers are intensel,
interested in the movement. Since
they have had no time to 60 to col.
lege it is very fitting that the colleR.
should be taken to them.
