the confidence of the public" sale
Senator Roos.
1T may be necessary to legislatt
for the large cities, where conditions
differ from those in the country sec

PLACES FOR RELATIVES
What 1t Costs Cook County to
Pay for Jobs for Leading
Political Families.

Oscar Il. Hewitt writes as follows
in the Chicago Herald of September
10.
A large part of the fierce fighting
today relates to jobs. Il is the plums
that attract the interest of the large
and small politicians to most of the
county Offices.
The practical politician knows what
he is working for. But for the lay.
man, IL may be news to know that
the county Offices involved in the pr.
maries today control 1921 regular jobs
and spend annually on extra jobs
about $4,000.
The county Offices, for which candi.
dates will be selected today, have an
annual pay roll of s2,2GI, 300 This
sum is distributed among the various
Offices in the tabulation below, which
also shows the number of regular
monthly jobs in each as follows:
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1916-10-07

Totals ............1,22l $2,261,3b9
In this total of $2,261,000 are in
cluded three items for extra help and
piece work. In the records Office Is
$92, 900 for the folio writer's. who get
Az cents a folio. The number Of
women employed is usually around
100.
For extra work in the board of as.
SCISSORS $65,000 was appropriated at
the beginning Of this year and an
other appropriation has been made
since. In addition liabilities of about
$4,000 remain unpaid. The board of
review received $4,000 to employ ex-
ira help in the rush season.
While the total for salaries Is APP
proximately correct as an average, 1t
Is considerably less than will be paid
out by these Offices this particular
year.
In the above the county surveyor
and the municipal judges have not
been included. The surveyor Is n fee
Office. The eleven judges will receive
$4,000 year EACH but they are usu-
ally considered of little practical
value in the building up of political
organization, except indirectly.
Getting back to the list above, II
must be explained that all of these
jobs cannot be changed regardless of
the way the election goes in Novem-
Der. There Is q board in charge Of
the sanitary district, the assessing
and reviewing of taxes. The sanitary
board has nine members, and only
three are to be elected II the Re-
publicans should win all three places
they would have a majority of one
on the board. The board of assessors
has five members, and only two are
to be elected. The board of review
has three members, and only one is
to be elected.
A president of the drainage board
/ Is one of the three memberships to
be filed. His salary will be $500 a
year. The other trustees get $4,000
each year Members Of the board of
assessors get the same salary, while
members of the board of review get
| $1,000 year each. The states at
torney's salary is $4,000 and the clerk
Of the Superior Court and clerk of
the Circuit Court, coroner and re,
corder get $4,000 each year.
Some of the candidates will assert
that all they want is glory and honor.
This pay roll helps them to get it. In
Chicago there are 2,16S election pre-
cincts. To have an effective political
organization there must be at least
one agent of the organization in each
precinct. A man on the pay roll will
work hard to get votes to remain
there.
1t is at the primaries that politi
clans believe that the precinct worker
Is valuable asset. Now none OF
these 1900 to 400 jobs, regular OF
extra, is under civil service. They are
available for practical political pur
poses.

DEMAND EXPORT DUTY

With abundance OF everything in
this country the price Of living and Of
manufactured articles has increased.
The reason for this is the fact that the
foreign markets are ready to take all
they can get in the United States at
much higher prices than are now pre-.
vailing in our domestic market.
A big export duty is the only thing
that will protect Americans.
The City should be redistricted at
once. according to law. The wards
should be equalized according to popu.
lation. The First ward only has co..
$50 inhabitants, while the Twenty.
seventh has $4,000. Six Of the wards
contain $4,000 people. The Fifteenth
has sO,532; the Twenty.fifth has &c..
