LOG ROLLING.

When the legislature was in
session it was demonstrated be.
yond all cavil that the State dis
pensary management and politics
are inseparaply welded. Even
warm advocates of the dispensarv
system have expressed themselves
as dissatisfied with the lobbying
incident to the election of two
members of the board of control.
II position which, avowedIy, paws
but 81 day when the members
are actually engaged in official
duties.
But there has been, if anything,
more lobbying here during the
last few days than there was dur
ing the legislative elections.
Some of the motives of the lob
bYlsts are now apparent. If the
position of Il member of the board
with its "little pay" add "large
expenses was juicy plum, for
some reason it IS even more tempt
ing to n member to become chair
man, although that official gets
no more per diem and mileage
and has equal expenses. For
some reason the members of the
board have a hankerlng to pre-
side over or to dominate the
board.
