DEMOCRATIC SPOILS IN
SIGHT

Following the change of the ma
tional administration, which will take
place on March 4, remarks the Ell
Paso Times, it is interesting to note
the spoils that will accrue to the
victors. Notwithstanding the fact
that President Taft recognized the
fact that the blow was about to fall,
and attempted to save the political
hides of more than $4,000 third and
fourth-class postmasters by placing
them under the civil service law,
There is still some mighty good
picking left for the men who have
waited sixteen long years for the
dawning of the blessed day. Fol-
lowing is a summary of the jobs
that are really worth while:
Nine Cabinet officers, at $4,000
each. $lOS,OOO.
State Department, SO persons,
$l2O, 900.
Treasury Department, 122 per-
sons, $552.00O.
Collectorsof customs and assistants,
100000.
War Department, persons, $15,-
500.
Navy Departments persons. $14.-
30.
Interior Department, 62 persons,
$lS2.lOO.
Agricultural Department, 2S per-
sons, $4,000.
Library of Congress, person,
s6,5OO.
Library employees, not under civil
service, $34s, 100.
Civil Service Commission, 3 per-
sons, $lS,5OO.
White House staff, a persons,
$1S,5OO.
Postoffice Department, IL persons,
$4S.25O.
Department of Justice, So persons,
$l9s, 400.
Commerce and Labor, CT persons,
1892, 400.
Ambassadors and Ministers, 43
persons, $510,500.
Secretaries to Embassies and
Legations, Ga persons, $139,175.
Consuls and Consular officials,
81 ,937, 900.
Interstate Commerce Commission,
persons, $4,000.
Commissioners of District of Col
umbia, 2 persons, $4,000.
Federal Offices numbering 1905,
outside of Washington, including
postmasters of all grades, marshals
and attorneys, ETC., 27,018,000.
Total, $3O,837, 1856.
Of course patronage and spoils
won in State and local contests, as
we'll as salaries of President. Con-
yressmen and other elective officers
IF the Federal Government, are to be
added to this order to figure up the
grand total lost by the G. o. P,
and won by the victors.

a writer in the Manufacturers
Record of July IS said:
"A London banker recently said TO
the writer that many of the great
financiers OF the east had looked
upon the southwest and south as a
field which could be actively develop
ed whenever they were ready where
as they recognized years ago that If
they did not lead in the development
Of the west. financial powers from
Europe would take possession Of the
territory"
The above is just the condition that
Oklahoma Is in today, and as a cur
rent writer says: Upon the better

building of rev lines in the south and
southwest, hundreds Of millions Of
dollars must be expended within he
next few years, or else there will
come a period when the railroads will
be wholly unequal to cope with the

II is evident from the foregoing
that great tidal wave of foreign
