<lebted:iess.
There was an increase in the assessed
valuation of real estate of 37.175,
while there was a decrease of
3496.27 in the valuation of personal
property.
Is it possible that the personal
rr; property decreased In value the above
amount or does the trouble lie with
the list takers and the assessors?
Everyone knows that the value of
perioral property Increased during
ptfM year rather titan decreased.
Notwithstanding this fact, the city
was deprived of revenue from almost
350,004 worth of taxable property,

Wood row Wilson 1? Jul*' ***??& article by Richie 3. ChDds had ap
. .i pbaml In one jof; the weekly magaalnbfl In which the evils
or the elective system and the obvious remedy was discussed tinder the title of
' The Short Ballot." This supplied the necessary catch-wqrd which Is always
necessary to make an Idea M|o," to the popular sense.. Later on. the author,
with Mr. Wilson and several well known editors, called a Short Ballot ponre;cure

was to gain thu adherence of ae many men of Influence as possible, of whatever
party, and to Interest those actually in charge of administration, so that
they might aid by their practical' knowledge of affaire and their Influence with
the TSfclSlatlng bodies. -Above an," he said, "we should seek to make the prtn
ciples we have In mind the subject of constant discussion, it is-not a campaign
of education we have in mind, bnt a campaign of information.On*
the problem itself he mid In pert;?"The methods by which we ha^e
sought to establish popular control really destroy It We bare s6ught to make
every office, great and araall. elective. We have defined the duties and powers
of each office by statute and we have nowhere united the offices thus set up in
any coherent. Interdependent system. Each officer has derivod his authority
from particular Inflation ami'l.lw nffiro riirertiv
therefore, bcetrm norlcgal sense subordinate to any other officer, has owed,
obedience to no- one except those who elected him, has been obliged to cooperate
with no one except those with whom the statute upon which he stood
commanded him to co-operate. It has been a system of executive action laid
apart In complete analysis, and each item of the analyzed structure made
Independent of the rest If tbfe great multitude of minor and petty
offices were taken out of the elective list and were transformed Into appointive
offices. If the people were called upon to choose only those who ought under
any reasonable system to be In responsible charge of the administration- of
government, many interesting results would follow. In the first place. It
would bo a most desirable and businesslike reorganization of the government
Itself, because It would give It administrative cohesion and a systematic
relation ol parts, unity- andefficlcccy. What is much more Important, it
would be the re-cstxbllshment of popular control, because It would make il
possible for the people to exercise a direct and Intelligent control over the
nomination and election of the central authoritative officers."
The Immediate outcoru?|tflalbfd occasion was the founding of the Short
Iiallot Organization, of which Mr. WUson was elected, and remains, president
It was ho who drew up the vital section In its constitution and its platform.
The campaign rfor simplified government to which Mr. Wilson has lent the aid
of his great personal prestige will bo treated of in the next article.
MANY STATES MOVE TOWARD SHORT BALLOT.
In the lower house of the North Dakota Legislature Representative Saydet
has introduced a measure which would apply the Short Ballot to tl)e State
government. By the provisions of this, the Governor's term of office would be
