"What Shall I Do to Bo Shaved '.'" 1 (Sermon Topic, KuKene llcgister). Tho first thing to do Is to oatch a barbershop, wherein nil tho tonsorial artists do not depart for dinner, when a customer shows up. It was very, kind of tho weather commander to send the wind now, when there is nothing to blow off but hnts. Gov. Olcott's plea to save "the scenery of Oregon" is a divine liuipl- ration if there ever was one. This commonwealth docH not want its rug ged mountain sides cluttered up with sawmills and other capitalistic indus tries. Nature should be left as the pioneers faund it undefllert.

HIGHER SALARIES WON'T GUARANTEE EFFICIENCY, BUT EFFICIENCY IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT THEM A CHEAP mail is an expensive luxury. This fact is generally recognized in private business. That is why the big business nuin pays good salaries. Not because he likes to increase his pay roll, but because he knows thai ability demands a high market price, and that ability pays. Jt is the exact reverse in public business. Public officials are almost invariably underpaid. As a result the best business ability is not attracted to the public service, and consequently conspicuous ability in official life, is the exception rather than the rule. There is a movement on foot to raise the salaries of local county officials. The chief argument for this increase is that by raising the salaries, the county will secure more efficient service. Xo one questions that more efficient service is needed. In the past year the people of Jackson county have been given a costly dem onstration of the high cost of inefficiency. Undoubtedly if the s methods of a well-conducted private business in the county had been followed at the county scat, the t;ix payers would have been saved thousands of dollars. But will the proposed increase in salaries produce the desired ef ficiency? Unfortunately no. Xo salary increase that is possible, under the present system, will automatically replace inefficient of ficials with efficient ones. Under the present salary system there has been efficiency in Jack sonville and there has been inefficiency. With the proposed increase the same condition will prevail. Under our present system the public service will never be attractive as a money making proposition, for the people will not pay salaries that can compete with the salaries paid in private business. Then what is to bo done' Leave the salaries where they are, and allow mutters, to drift along as they have drifted ? "We think not. In this problem as in most others, there is u common sense lhean, be tween the extremes. This mean is to pay every public official a fair living wage, and then depend upon the force of public opinion to se cure that service to which the public is entitled. In other words, raise those salaries which render it impossible for o. competent person to hold tin; office. In our opinion there are two salaries which fall in this category now. One is the salary of $1200 a year for the county treasurer and another is the salary of ijiloOO for the county assessor. No man or woman, competent to fill tho office, can afford to take the place of county treasurer for $100 per month. The minimum should not he less than $150 per month. The county assessor holds one of the most important positions in the county service. The position requires experience, knowledge and sound business judgment. The assessor is now paid $1500. This is an impossible pittance, $2500 would not be too much, certainly $2000 is an irreducible minimum. These increases should be made. Not under the delusion that such increases will guarantee efficiency in the future, but because, without such increase, sustained efficiency will be impossible.

ALAS, there's trouble everywhere, according to the daily news, and countless cupboards now are bare of pumpkin pies and oyster stews, and children wail and tear their hair because they haven't any shoes. And we might preach to those who lack the pies that human critters need, reminding them how, some months back they cut a gorgeous swath, indeed, and how wo urged them then to pack in brine the kopeck and the seed. But preaching is an empty graft when human innards madly ache; there always is a mighty raft of sermons when the kids call for cake, -when poor folks long to sit abaft a large and luscious sirloin steak. And so wo'll brighten up the lives of those who walk knee deep in woe, and stake the poor gents and their wives from our abundant stack of dough; the Christmas spirit still survives in all of us, we'd have you know. "We'll spring our platitudes when next prosperity around is seen, when workingmen are not perplext by absence of the good long green; a pie is better than a text when meals are few and far between.
