TAFT TO ABOLISH OFFICES

Democrats Gnash Their Teeth, but
He is Following Their Order.
Washington, Dec. 25.-President
Taft and Secretary MacVeagh will
probably have Democratic opposition
to their plan Of abolishing usless Of
fees in the customs service
Authority for abolishing offices
was first given by the House OF
Representatives last summer in one
OF the appropriation bills, and the
Treasury Department has since been
making plans for economical reor-
gailization.
1t is expected that when President
Taft returns from Panama he will
issue an order abolishlng a consider
able number of collectorships and
other officers.
Deputy collectors will be retained
at Custom Houses where collector
ships are abolished and as these
offices are in the classified service.
opposition by the Democrats is ex-
pected on the ground that the pat
ronage for their party will be still
further reduced.
Just what the Democratic legisla-
tors can do, however, is not clear, as
the President has full authority to
carry the Treasury programme into
effect
The Custom Houses regarded a.
usless by the Treasury Department
include Burlington, N. j.; Kenne'
bunk, Me-; Cherrystone, Va; Able
marie, N c.. and Natchez, Miss
The Treasury figures show that fol
every dollar collected at the Alder
marie Custom House. the Government
ment has to pay s534.92. At Burling
ton the cost of collecting each dollar
is $12.S3

State Purchasing AGENT.

Governor Fletcher evidently is car
rying into the conduct of the Office of
governor those business principles
which have proved 50 successful in
his own private affairs. At least he
recognizes the benefits TO be obtained
from concentration wherever concen-
tration for given purpose If posi-.
BILE. This is evidenced by his Pro-
posal that suitable legislation be en-
acted that the state may have a pur-
chasing agent.
There is nothing impossible in
this; in fact there is everything in
its favor. In a good many ways It is
impossible to compare the running
of commonwealth to the running Of
business, but in many other ways
the parallel may be almost exactly
drawn. And in this there is a paral.
lei. Governor Mead showed what
might be done in the way of secur-
ing the advantage of economy in re-
gard to insuring the states buildings
against fire; Governor Fletcher
seeks to show what may be done in
the purchasing of supplies for the
various institutions
1t is impossible to imagine a Dig
business concern trying to run its
affairs without a purchasing agent
Take a railroad, for instance. This
is most important part in the man.
agement of any line and on the keen
ness of the agent depends much of
the economic management of the sys
TEN. And in municipal affairs, see
what the loss may be IL has been
shown that in one American city
(which since has adopted the general
manager plan and thus has wiped out
such abuses) ii mas been shown that
in this city the very same article was
purchased at the very same store at
about the very same time, but at diff
ferent prices by different city depart
msnts.
Surely there is much to commend
state commissary department.
There is one important detail on
which the full success OF the plan
would rest. There is the securing OF
a competent man to take the Office Of
purchasing agent II is an Office that
should be as far removed from the
field of politics as il is possible to
remove il under the conditions. The
man must be schooled I'm the art of
buying; II is no place for a good tel
low who has no other qualification
than his being a good fellow. On the
whole il rs to be hoped that the leg
islature viii look with favor on

There is more and more evil
dence that all that the House at
Montpelier needs to make it an
effective legislative body is able,
experienced and progressive leader
ship The great trouble Is that the
towns so generally turned down
their experienced legislators at the
late State election in favor of new
blood. Springfield Reporter.
Leadership Is all right, but unset
fish devotion to public welfare among
the rank and Ale is of greater impor-
lance. The present House has many
earnest and patriotic men and doubt
less few who are not, but, as the
Reporter well says, the people of the
246 towns of Vermont will never get
the best of service in their legisla
ture until they learn to discriminate
and send back a man who proves o.
worth for two or three terms at least,
and to retire from public life those
who prove incapable and untitled.

A new use for the lowly chewing
gum has been found. 1t is TO remove
obstacles from ones eye. But if it
came to choice between cinder
and chewing gum in the eye, how
long would it take to make the
choice?-St Adams Messenger.
Why not first pluck out The beam
from thine own eye before looking
for chewing gum in the eye of thy
neighbor?
