The impression will sometimes get
out that there are many supernumer-
aries about the departments because
at times all the clerks are not busy,
but 1t must be remembered that there
are other times when every mans
power Of endurance is taxed and the
maximum OF work can be performed
for the reason that clerks who have
become skilled In certain work can ac-
compiish so much more than the UNI
skilled who might be employed to
help out in the rush.
II there is any mistake made In Sc
lectlng men to perform clerical work
for the state. It is done through undue
political influences, by lmportunate
pleadings or by the reaulsltion made
on account of past favors done the
head of the department during the
canvass.
There Is one department that will
not be disturbed. and II Justice is done
additional help will be given This is
the railroad commission office. Tha
clerks In this department work from
the earliest working hour in the morn
