great deal of what is called pork" is
slipped through Congress, which stand

scandalous abuse.
1t has been the history of most Con,
Fgresses that the general appropriation

the general appropriation bills as the

public grounds. but solely to promote
the interests OF individual Congressman

THE SHORT BALLOT

The electoral college is not the only
cumbersome affair we have to deal
with In the present system OF choosing
Dur highest officials. The most top
heavy thing is the long list OF offices
to DO TILED that burden every ballot
NO vote. In this State we have just
!tinkered our primary election law IN
t6e>hope Of making it more effectl'e
IN Tho selection OF candidates to be
voted for. but the best primary la"
will not secure the best officials so
long as tho confusing length OF Inc
ballot remains. 1t IS our multiplicity
Of elective offices that discredits The
primary more than anything else
The short ballot is the cure for many
OF the disappointments in elective o.
ticials. Some officers would be badly
selected under any elective system
because the voters have shown them
selves to be interested only in consplc'
nous officers who determine important
public policies. Fewer elective OF
fees is the remedy. When governor
of New York Charles Evans Hughes
expressed himself on this subject in q
most specific manner when he said:
There should be. reduction IN the
number of. elective offices. The enGs
e. democracy will be better attained
to, the extent that the attention of the
voters may be focused upon compa5-
satively few offices, and the incumben- $
can be held strictly accountable for
administration
:. or course there is decided objection
I. TO the short ballot. but where does it
come from? Not from the masses OF
1.-THE voters. Solely from the politicians
and office seekers. With the more i'm
tportant State officers made appointive
There would no longer be divided re-
isponsibility. 1t would center on the

ONLY TENTATIVE RESULTS

For more than three yearSthe Inter
state Commerce Commission has been
engaged in the work-of placing a val
uation upon the railroads of the coun-
try. in pursuance Of law enacted BY
Congress. in 1918. More than $1,000
900 has been spent in the work and
there is an appropriation OF S3,5oo,0op
Available for the current fiscal
year. !; The Commission has le-
,, Gently completed the first two Valua-
tions, covering short roads Of. mi9or
importance. The reports carry the In
formation that the valuations are mere
/ " tentative" and that The commits
rsion has not yet passed upon the many
questions involved in the determine
ton of correct principles and methods.
/ It. would seem, therefore. that we have
spent d lot OF money and shall spend
a lot more in work that will be O!
doubtful value.
There is another phase Of these val
uations, and that is the injustice it
does the railroads and the holders OF
their securities. Although these re-
,, ports are given to the public as ten
tativc valuations they are net valua.
J tons many true sense whatever. They
are mer rely partial inventories. With
this fact in mind the chairman of the
Presidents Conference Committee
wrote to the chairman of the Interstate
! Commerce Commission on July 81, re-
questins the Commission not to serve
the reparts of the engineering and &C
counting division as a tentative val
uation on the Texas Midland, the At
ianta. birmingham & Atlantic. the Nor
folk Southern and the Kansas City
Southern because these reports Meth
er separately nor collectively consti-
tute the tentative valuation required
by the act" The Commission on Oc-
tober%1 replied to the Presidents
Conference Committee that 1t is not
felt that the delay incident to CON-
plianee. with your request would be
justified The theory on which these
! tentative valuations are being made
is that If an injustice is done to a road
it will have ample opportunity to pre-
sent to the Commission evidences Of
the injustice and corrections will be
made accordingly.
But why not do exact Justice in the
first place. All OF these injustices
may be corrected by the Commission
wheri. the final valuation is made; but
in the meantime lsymen may become
firmly imbued with the idea that the
railroads are grossly overcapitalized.
Dame rumor will have done her work
and it will be beyond the power of the
Commission to correct the wrong. The
commission has no moral right to per-
init these matters to continue to be
handled in the manner in which they
are now being handled.
