Thin, at leant i the opinion of men who hnvo given much reflection to the sub ject after yearn of service at the head of bureau and departments. A combination of the two feature ha been nuggextcd. It in proponed that clerks hereafter apopinted come in at a Hillary of $000 fr annum and reeeivo their appointments lor seven years; that at tho end of that period they be eligible to reappointment for seven years at the salaries they shall have attained; that at the end of the second seven years period if,they have roached the grnde of fourth class clerks receiv ing $lhuO per annum their tcnyro shall then be made permanent to the'ngo of sixty Ave years, but of they have not reached the grade they shall bo drop ped from tho rolls. It is furthor proposed that those high rlnss permanent clerks shall be assessed each year a certain per contage of their snlanos, which shall constitute a retire ment fund from which each clerk on reachinir the ace of sixty-five years shall bo paid a pension of $000 por an num for the remainder of his life. Whether this suggestion enn be worked out In practice or not; whether it is even worthy of serious considera tion by thoKO interested, remains to he seen It offers itself to some porsons ns a (KXftihlo solution of this vexed. nrohloin uml us n means oi counteract ing the manifost prejudice which now exists in the minds of many congress men against what ii culled the "life tenure of office. " STATE rADJ NOTES. ItoUremcnt of Government Clerks. Ji. A""a without saying thnt all per irohi who live in cities where nost wfllcc- clerks are largely employed, nro directly interested in the efficiency of Www employes. It is not so univer Uy admitted that all tho peoplo of tho country are interested in tho offi ney of clerks in the departments at Washington. This is true, howovor, in an equal dr greater degree. The mnchlnery of ho gurernment Is largely in the hands of the subordinate employes of tile different bureaus nt the Capital. This ha Jeig been the eano and is growing Hiore and inoro so overy year. Tbe heads of the great departments havi vory short nvorage tenure of nlBce. Tho postofllce dupartment, the InrgtBt in a mount of businesi and nuin lx of employes, has seen six postman ters guuornl cwno nud go within thci i J I years. Home other departments fiavo had even more chnnges in their vuiois, anu uio hemls or bureaus Im mediately subordinate to the seereta Srlos, etc., are only a little more per nianeut In official life. They change entirely with the advent of a new po litical party, and they are changing onstantly by resignation and casual lies. The only permanent force in tho iinpnrmicuiN upon which the correct IriltlNAMlnti tt ! ...il.li.. l...uI ! ' ....... , , ,.v iumiv Minium Ilium depend, is composed of the clerks who nro covered by the civil service law, stnd whoso tenure depends, theoretic nlly nt least, on good conduct and ef ficiency. Under existing laws, which have been in operation about twenty years, these clerks nro appointed after ornpetitivo examinations, ami are sup posed to be free from the influence of party polities as to appointment or re imivnl. Tho era of rewarding worth ies men with clerical posltinim for po litical activity has gone, and he who is bold enough to abvoouto its return would help puncture the tires on our lately wkeeln of progress without coaipBtiing heiiellt. ma there are iirnhlcnn i-mniiuiiul idi Woodmen Day At State Pair (Continued from first page.) .'Id cock, 2d pen.

" In the large machinery hall south of the main entrance there is' one of the most comprehensive exbibites ever shown at the Oregon stato fair. It comprises a magnificent assortment of the latest and best in Studcbaker ve hicles, besides a wide range of farm machinery, including with the oommou er implements, manuro spreaders, stump pullers, cream separators, gasoline en gines, etc., etc. Those cushion tired bike wagons strike the fancy for nout drawers, while tho farmers arc interested more particularly at this time of year in the substantial gurries and hacks. The Bonicia Hancock Disc plows are attracting a world of attontion this fall, and there arc four shown. A one, two and three disc, besides tho side hill reversible. The most noticeable thing about these plows at first glance is their weight and strength. There are other plows boing urged onto the farm ers on the argument of light weight, but some farmers in tho hills have al ready found to their sorrow that it takes weight and strength to stand up in the rocks, hard ground and roots. The Hancock "stays put.' Then those Sharpless Tubular cream separators, tho delight of the owner, and the sorrow of competitors. What a line assortment there is shown from the largor size down to the dainty midget for tho small family with one cow, nil perfect in dctnil and results. Jlh litis fixed tenure of dohIHoii whin urn iM-ginniHg to seriously occupy the nitwit ion of rongrwt-) and the public. Willi advancing years, the otlleleney of sun CIPI-.S uuimuiriy deteriorates, but Ifrience slum how hard it is to get rid of them. Many hnvo been uiiuble through misfortune, and others have been too eat clem to make provision for nld age, and their superior otllceia are prevented by consideration of humani ty from turning them adrift until their Usability hcromnti so pronounced as to render their continued employment Im VKMtslble. The result is n largo and In creasing number of partially disabled iiiiploytNt who are growing loss efficient ivery year, and whose places, for the Xod of the service, ought to be filled from among the throng of eager young persons who await appointment' from tho eivll service regUtors throughout tint country Tho remedy for this state of things is proposal in the rutlrommit fund, whieh though not walled by that name U (it effect n civil pension. Thero is ton doubt nt the mind of the Sentry, thnt this u the logical outcomo of civil servim reform. Sooner or later, that fact must bo naknowlwlgod, or tho fundamental prumllin of that re form must be ubtuiduued. One means of obviating the mmimI ty for this pension, which is being dls med by Hingrvsmu, uad his boon upproved by a committee, is to turn imirily discharge all clerks oh rebelling tbe nge f 7 Ars.
