not only be of advantage to the farm

farmer to name his farm and have
this and his own name printed on

does this it stamps him at once as

insure greater efficiency and economy
n the long run.
Now, however, hope of this greatiy
desired object goes glimmering Will
the announcement that the cost OF
the state fair at North Yakima was
s32 900 this year, or four-fifths OF the
entire appropriation of $4,000 intend
ed to cover the cost of the fair TOT
two years. The responsibility for the
conduct of the state fair at Nortn
Yakima was explicitly fixed upon the
head of the department or agriculture
in accordance with the desire OF GOV.
9rnor Lister. There can be no snlrk-
ing of that responsibility now. This
is one of the commendable features OF
the law. Governor Lister promised
that his new department would effect
a saving and that he would choose
man to head it who could and would
carry out his program of economy.
The principle of the consolidation
involved in the agricultural depart
ment law is good. The law carrying
that principle into effect is good. But
the human equation in the persons OF
Governor Lister and Commissioner
Perkins destroy the good and add to
the proof that no system of govern
ment, regardless of its idealistic
beauty, will or can work automatically.
Weak men will negative all the good
of law or system of laws.
This shows the folly of wasting so
much time and thought on the mere
of administration while dis
regarding the character of the me-
chanics whom we choose to operate
the machinery.
Another point worthy of considera-
ton is that it is wiser and more profit
able to give far less heed to the prom
Uses and public declarations of a pol
itician than to the facts of his per-
formance
AS a means of effecting economy
in the state government the depart
ment of agriculture Is a lamentable
failure. 1t fails not because it is
wrong in principle, but because it has
been used for wrong purpose. In
stead of selecting a ten thousand. or
even four thousand dollar expert to
run this department, Governor Lister
hose an active partisan, an energetic
county politician, and the result, while
disappointing, is perfectly natural.
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1913-11-28

maintain and enjoy such government.
The great mass of the Mexican peo-
ple are little, If at all, better equipped
TO govern themselves than the Indians
on the reservations in this country.
In fact there is a striking similarity
between the reservation Indians OF
the United States and the majority OF
the inhabitants of Mexico. Those peo-
ple are stepped in ignorance and but
little advanced out of rank savagery.
They have no faculty for self-restralnt,
and no conception of the duties OF
citizenship. That is not an excuse Tor
foisting upon them despotism, but
it is sufficient to prove the futility of
this governments attempt to force up
on them an ideal which can have
neither meaning nor appeal to such
a people.
There is no palliation for the crimes
that Huerta has committed, any more
than there is for the crimes committed
by Carranza. But there is no disguis-
ing the fact that the elimination of
Huerta merely means the substitution
of another equally devoid of moral re-
sponsibility, and probably equally
guilty of actual wrong. Accordingly
there can be little question now that
the wiser, and better course in every
respect, to have pursued would have
been a recognition of the Huerta gov
eminent, that order might be restored
and then an insistance that real re-
forms be inaugurated. Nothing can
be accomplished during the reign of
terror which now grips that devastated
country, while every movement so far
made brings America closer to the
all but inevitable necessity for inter
vention. Intervention will doubtless
result in uniting the warning factions
of Mexico against what they conceive
to be the common enemy, and inter-
vention means the sacrifice of prob
ably thousands of American lives, for
what? For the unattainable, if all
signs are not misleading.
It is painfully evident that the ad-
ministration has lost sight of the prac-
teal and the possible way to real re-
form, in trying to force an ideal upon
an unprepared people.

NATURAL RESULT.

The last legislature appropriated
$4,000 for the conduct of the state
fair at North Yakima for the two years
1913 and 1914. At the same time the
lawmaking body, following the urgent
request of Governor Lister, placed the
management of the state fair under
the direction of the department Of
agriculture, created during the same
session. This department was the one
chief desire of Governor Lister as a
scheme for the consolidation of num-
Der of commissions and departments
under one responsible head whereby
a great saving in the cost of admin
istration as we'll as long step for
ward in the promotion of government
al efficiency was assured. The peo-
of the state took kindly to the idea,
and general satisfaction was express
ed when the governor managed to in
duce the legislature to adopt his rec
concentration regarding this measure
of economy. The salary of the COM
missioner of agriculture was fixed at
$4,000 per pear for the avowed purpose
of attracting the kind of ability nee
essary to administer so important an
office. General approval was again ex-
pressed when Governor Lister an
nOunced that he was seeking a ten
thousand dollar man for this four
thousand dollar job. Not little per-
plexity was caused when, following
this announcement, the governor man,
ed J. H. Perkins, of Ritzville, chair
man OF the democratic county central
committee of Adams county and
father-in-law of the chairman of the
Spokane county democratic central
| committee, to the head of the new de-
partment. Mr.. Perkins was not in
| any sense ten thousand dollar man
In fact he never had proven himself
to be even a four thousand dollar
man. His previous training had been
that of school teacher, an honorable
and altogether worthy profession, but
| not one calculated to especially fit
him for the duties of the commissioner
of agriculture. Mr.. Perkins was
known to be man of energy, how
ever, and 1t was hoped that he would
measure up to the requirements OF
the job on its administrative side, no
one doubling his ability to direct the
political activities of the new depart
ment.
Another disappointment was &C.
casioned when 1t was learned that the
provision made for the salaries of this
department carried a total expendi-
ture of several thousand dollars a
year in excess of that formerly paid
for the conduct Of the departments
now consolidated under the new or
ganization. Again people accepted
that as possibly a wise expenditure to

has been working to that end. lie
knows. as all shrewd politicians know,
that the most effective work could
be done through the one department
that has been politically inactive. Con-
seouently a change in the administra-
five head of that department has all
along been inevitable, and its an
nouncement brings no surprise.
The governor has ceased to talk
lnon-partisanship. Even he has come
to realize that consistency between
practice and pronouncement is OF
greater value than platitudes. Hence
forth he may be expected to take the
holder course and attempt to justify
his partisan acts rather than pretend
to the virtue of n-partisanship.
This is the more worthy course for
him to pursue, and more people will
respect him for his candOr, even
though they may not approve his pol
icy, than would be deceived by the
transparent hypocracy of his earlier
attitude. 1t certainly will prove wiser
for him to attempt to justify his re-
moval of Mr.. Roberts as an act of
party expediency rather than of ad-
ministrative necessity, for the work
of the highway commissioner is too
we'll known and too generally appre-
ciated to be easily impugned at this
time, even by the chief executive, him
self. From political standpoint their
is ample justification for the removal
of Mr.. Roberts. That is the sole rea-
son for his removal, and is so recog-
nized throughout the state. An honest
avowal Of the fact will prove less dam
aging than any attempt to dodge the
truth.
After all there is no particular rea-
son to regret this latest move on the
part of governor Lister. So far as
Mr.. Roberts is personally concerned
he will do better for himself out of Of
flee than he possibly could in Office
His removal gives the governor a most
desirable place to offer that will gain
for him a strong and active supporter
and enable him to perfect the ma
chinery so necessary to the advance
ment of his own interests. 1t will con-
| fer an honor on whoever is appointed
to the place and will cause a thrill
of satisfaction to stir the whole body
of long denied democrat politicians in
this state always excepting the dis
appointed applicants for the place and
their supporters.) In fact the only
ones to suffer by the change will be
the taxpayers, and If they have any
claim to consideration at the hands
of the present administration 1t has
never been manifested. So let us all
applaud this move as testimony of the
shrewd expediency of a capable poll
teal leader.
