INVESTIGATE THE
~HIGHER-UPS

Postmaster General Burleson has
appointed a special committee to in
vestigate the efficiency of the post
office at New York, still conducted
under a Republican postmaster.
whom the department has tried IN
successfully to dismiss. The press
of New York and the business men
of the city objected to a change. It
would be gratifying not only to the
people of New York, but to the farm
ers on scores of rural routes. if
someone could have power to appoint
a special committee to investigate the
efficiency of the office presided over
by Mr.. Burleson. Most of the inefi-
cheney in postal service today can
be traced to the higher-ups, who have
had little experienc eeither in postal
service or in any other large enter
priss.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1916-12-07

It is a noteworthy fact that promi-
nent Democrats who are supposed to
have presidential aspirations were
careful to compliment W. ]. Bryan
upon the efficiency of his campaign in
the West-where Wilson won his sur
prising victories. The fact that Will
son has not been ELUSIVE in express
ing appreciation of Bryan's effective
help is one indication that perhaps
Wilson is not thinking of a third
term, as many people believe he is.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1916-12-07

why New York, for example, should
nominate forty-fve Republican and
forty-fve Democratic candidates for
presidential electors, print their
names on a ballot, require the voters
to mark the ballots, and have the
votes counted and tabulated, when
the vote is really east for two candi-
dates for President and two for Vice
President. Moreover, if the Prohibi-
ton, Socialist or other parties nomi-
nate candidates, the number of names
on the ballot is multiplied accord
ingly.
We could as well. and certainly
should, merely print the m of
the presidential and vice-presidential
candidates on the ballots, mark our
ballots for the candidates of our
choice. have those votes counted di-
rectly. and inaugurate as President
and Vice-President the men who re-
ceive the largest number of votes OF
all the people. That is truly popu-
lar government.

THE
ELECTORAL COLLEGE

The c~loseness of the recent cleo
ton and the possibility of some cleo
toral votes being cast for a presiden-
tial candidate other than the n re-
ceiying a majority vote in the State,
has aroused an agitation in favor of
a direct vote for President and Vice
President. There is sound argument
back of the suggestion for a change.
The present method Of selection by
an electoral college vas adopted be-
cause of doubt as to the ability OF
the people to vote intelligently for a
presidential candidate. 1t was
thought safer to let the people select
some of their more capable and more
experienced fellow citizens to repre-
sent them in choosing a President.
But party organization soon reduced
the electors to mere messengers who
cast their ballots for their party nom
inees.
Ordinarily the present system
works satisfactorily and the
results desired by a majority of the
voters of the country. But there are
exceptions. In one State where five
electors were to be chosen, one Dem
ocratic candidate for elector died on
the eve of election, too late for the
name to be changed on the printed
ballot, and, apparently, one of the
Republican candidates will be chosen
Notwithstanding a majority of the
people voted for five Democratic
electors. If the vote had been direct
for the presidential candidates this
could not have occurred.
There is another possible splitting
of a States electoral vote without
regard to the actual view of a ma
jority of the voters. 1t quite fire.
%quently happens that one or two Of
the electoral candidates on a party
ticket are more widely known or
have greater personal popularity
than the others on the same electo-
raj ticket. There are usually. also
some men on each electoral ticket
who have very limited acquaintance
or who have many political enemies
within their own parties. Under such
circumstances it can very easily oc-
cur, in a close election, that although
one party may be in the majority in
a State, yet the highest man on the
minority party ticket would receive
more votes than the low mar on the
majority ticket. This would occur
of course, only in very close States.
In addition to these two defects in
the present system, it may be sale
that there is absolutely no reason

POOR METHODS OF BUYING

People in rural districts, particu-
larly in the West, have no coneep-
ton Of the effect of buying habits in
the city upon the cost of living. The
farmer buys his sugar by the 100
pound sack. City consumers buy
largely in two-pound or iye-pound
packages. Most of the commodities
the city mar buys are delivered in
the smallest parcels it is practicable
for the dealer to sell. Comparatively
few city homes have more than a
days supply Of food on hand. This
method of handling food is n%ecessar-
lily expensive. 1t takes as much of a
clerks time to sell one pound of
sugar as to sell a hundred pounds.
It costs more than a hundred times
as much to deliver 100 pounds of
sugar in o~ne-pound packages as to
deliver it in one package, for the
small packages require wrapping
D Irvine, handling, entries on
bills. etc. The eastern city resident
buys his apples by the quarter peck,
whereas the westerner buys by the
barrel or box. If city people could
adopt the western and country meth
DDS of buying. the high cost of living
would be largely solved.

Canada, also, is enjoying great in
dustrial prosperity. Her people pro
duce many commodities needed in
war and for which high prices are
paid by exporters. But Canada is not
boasting of her prosperity. No poll
tician there would dare to boast of it
for Canada knows only too well the
nature of it's basis.

Preparation for Greatness.

It does not matter If the greatest
thing for you to do be not in itself
great. The best preparation for great
ness comes in doing faithfully the lit
tie things that lie nearest. The near
est is the greatest in most human lives.
