OX-Cart Government Raises
Cost of Elections
By James T. Williams, r.

Adjournment of Congress does
not usher in an adjournment
of politics, either Federal or
State.
AS the Seventy-third Con-
gress passes into history, the
campaign begins throughout the
Union for the election of the
Seventy-fourth Congress.
Tuesday, November 6, is gen.
eral election day this year in
all the States of the Union ex-
cept the State of Maine. Maine
will elect one United States Sen
ator, three members of the
House, and State and county Of
ficers on Monday. September
10 next.
Throughout the Union there
are IS United States Senators
to be elected, three more than
the 80 who are elected in regu-
lar order every two years. The
three Senators to be elected out
of the regular order, due to va
cancies created by death or
resignation. will be one in Mon
tana, one in New Mexico and
one in Tennessee. The late Sen
ator Walsh of Montana resigned
to accept the portfolio of justice
in the Cabinet of Roosevelt but
died on the eve Of inauguration
Day. Senator Bratton of New
Mexico resigned his Senatorship
to accept an appointment on
the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals and Senator Hull of
Tennessee resigned his Senator
shipsto become President Roose.

Study Reveals Facts
In addition to the Senators to
be elected, are all members of
the House, numbering 435. OF
the 48 States, IS will elect gov
ernors this year, and many
them will also elect other State
officials and thousands of
county and local officials, a
large majority OF whom are

And the old Kaiser, reading
his Bible in exile in Holland
and thinking of his broken

David: ''The wind passeth over

costs for the whole country.
From the detailed cost records,
however, of many communities
all over the country examined
by DIR. Harris, he thinks it safe
to estimate that average cost
of elections throughout the
country amounts to at least
one dollar for every vote cast.
The only State in which COM
plete data are available, cover.
ing election costs for the entire
State, rural as well as urban, is
Ohio.
In 1880, Ohio elections cost
the people of that State two
million, eight hundred and
fifty-ni-.e thousand, three hun
dred and twelve dollars and
eighty cents, or one dollar and
twenty-seven cents per vote
cast.
Politics VS.. Economy
BY way of being conservative,
this authority estimates the an
nual election costs for the en-
tire country at forty million
dollars, assuming that Ohio's
election cost was higher than
the average.
There is no good reason why
the American people should be
compelled to pay forty million
dollars or more for the Federal,
State or local elections which
they will hold this year. The
study made by DIR. Harris of
this subject has convinced him
that this cost can be reduced to
ten million dollars, or from an
average cost per vote cast of
one dollar, to twenty-five cents.
Approximately two-thirds OF
the total cost of elections in the
majority of our cities Is due to
the amount paid election Of
ficials. This varies widely from
city to city. Excessive election
costs are also due to the num-
Der of elections in many States
which can and should be re-
duced.
BY divorcing election admin
istration from political spoils.
by cutting down the number Of
election officials as well as the
numker of elections, and by
abolishing useless county I'd
local offices, the cost of elec-
tions in this country can easily
be reduced from more than one
dollar per vote cast to twenty
five ce1tS or less. But the poll
ticians will never make this re-
duction. They will or it.
The more elections, the more
offices to be maintained, the
more officials to be supported,
the greater the power Of the
oOYtician and the greater the
expense to the Overtaxed people
of this cOuntry-NOrth, East,
So tn and West.

Heat Wave Hits Hyder

Hyder has shared in no small degree in the abnormally high temperatures prevailing in the middle west during the past week. Thermometers at vari- ous points about town have registered up to 90 degrees in the shade. A thermometer placed in the sun is said to have climbed to 112. Oldtim- CTS say it has been the longest and warmest high temperature period in the camps history, although higher temperatures have been recorded over short periods in earlier years. The record is said to be 94 in the shade.

Did You Ever Stop to Think

That the earth is whirling around on it's axis at the rate of 1000 miles an hour, 16 2-3 miles a minute-about a mile in the time it takes you to draw a deep breath?
 That while the earth is turn ing a thousand miles an hour, it is also moving forward on it's orbit al ound the SUI more than million and 2 half miles a day-over 9OO,OOO miles be tween noon and midnight approximately ?,500 miles hour?
 That while the earth is trav- cling around the sun at this terrific speed, the sun and all it's attendant planets are whirl- ing through space at inc.n- ceivable speed in the direction of the brilliant blue star Vega, a sun much greater in size than our own sun, which can be seen on clear nights almost di- rectly overhead?
