THE AUSTRIAN THRONE

Born Nu1evolutionary year Of
sfSs0, beginning his reign in the revo-
lutionary year of 1S4S, it was EN-
peror Francis Joseph's fate to die In
the midst of one of the greatest wars
the world has ever seen. He has led
a most pathetic life on what Is known
as the proudest throne in Europe, but
he has endeared himself to his
character, has held together a nation
composed of people of widely differ
ent races, with their diversified inter-
ests. language and religion.
1t has been freely predicted that
the death of Emperor Francis Joseph
would mean the breaking up of the
Austrian empire. This is hardly like
ly to occur at this time when tho
nation is fighting for its very exist
ence. 1t is a fact, however, that
there is strong independent mova-
ment in Hungary, even in the midst
of the war, 1t having even been sug-
gested that Hungary make a separ-
ate peace, regardless of the attitude
of Austria. Then. too, there has been
disturbances In Bohemia. 1t is plain
that the new ruler has a difficult path
before him, especially should the
Teutonic allies be defeated in the
present war, as now seems inevitable.
1t is a significant fact that the
successor to Francis Joseph falls heir
to the throne from the same station
in life that Francis Joseph held when
he became emperor. Francis Joseph
was a nephew of Ferdinand I. whom
he succeeded on the throne. Charles
Francis Joseph, who now becomes
emperor, is the grandnephew of
Francis Joseph. The life of the
royal household has been so tragic
that it has been practically impossi-
BILE to have any direct succession.
No one can tell what the future of
Austria-Hungary will be. Whether
success finally rests with the Teuton,c
arms or not, there are bound to be
radical changes. The autocratic rule
of kings and emperors Is passing.
The people are awakening all over
the world. Monarchs who retain
their thrones in the future must
cater more to the popular will There
Is reason to believe that the new
emperor of Austria Hungary. Charles
Francis Joseph, will be such a ruler.

ply large. My Judgment is that the
governor should be an ex-officio mem
ber and presiding officer of this as
sembly and that 1t should be permit
ted to meet in such frequent and reg
ular or adjourned sessions as the ex-
igencies of the public business may
demand; that their terms of office
should be four to six years and that
they be paid salaries sufficient to JUS
tify them in devoting their entire time
to the public business.
This suggestion was received with
emphatic approval by thep ress or the
country.
Governor Hodges proposal hike the
one in Oregon, was to make the legis-
lature as whole, and the legislators
individually, more dignified, more
powerful and therefore more consp1c-
uous He would do this by placing the
legislative power of the state in sin
gle spot where everyone could see 1T.
That is essential.
Another step must be to clear out q
lot of the underbrush in the way Of
minor elective state officials like secre-
taries of state, dairy commissioners,
state engineers, hide inspectors and
the like. For after all, the lawmak-
ing power is the very fountain head
of public policy.
Every other country practically
confines it's electoral activities to its
parliament and its local councils. They
do not elect as we do a lot of little
understrapper executives. whose elec-
ton serves no real purpose other than
to obscure the real popular issues.
What If commission governed ci-
ties have an even greater mission than
to straighten things out in the home
town? What If they are to be. If in
deed they are not already, the great
experimental laboratory Of the Short
Ballot!

Pork and

he declared that the people of the

the gross abuses OF the Pork
barrel"
The people of the various sect

harbors, and various public build
ings for which there is no real use.
Congressman in many cases are
merely the mouth piece of ambit-
ious local petitions and a com.
mercial organizations who ask
pork" regardless OF it's benefits
generally. The senator proposes
that the question of harbor and
river improvements be left to
board or commission OF trained
men to determine what shall be
done, and SO conserve the public
money OF the country. This could
be applied also to the erection of
Federal buildings, establishment
and aba ndonment of army posts
etc. All these things should be
done with an eye single TO nat.
ional and not local welfare.
