ExpENsIvE LUBRICATION.

Representative Hurd of Ramsey coun-
ty has introduced a measure, the princi-
pal of which will receive general APPROX
al 1t is designed to place the emolu-
ments OF the office of state oil inspector
on a salary basis and to put an end to
the present condition of law applying to
that office, which enables the incumbent
of it to collect fees whish net him an es-
timated income of not less than $25, 0GO
per annum
The office of state oil inspector is one
OF the public sinecures which has sur
vived all attempts at legislative reform.
1t is maintained apparently as a means
of compensating the incumbent at the
states expense for political services of
an unusually effective character rem
dered TO the party in power. 1t has
been a scandal and an eye-sore as alm:n-
istered for some years past, to the en-
tire people, and the effort has been main
tanned, more or less earnestly, to wipe it
out of existence.
1t is of course well understood that the
duties of state Oil inspector are purely
nominal, and that the aggregate of the
fees realized are out of all proportion to
the value of the services or the extent
of time or labor involved in their dis
charge. While Mr.. Hurds measure may
be incomplete in certain directions, its
purpose, which avowedIy is to turn the
inspection fees into the state treasury
and from their proceeds to Fay the in
spector and his deputies a reasonable
salary each, is entirely meritor:ous, and
ought to be embodied in the statutes of
the state.
The cost of inspection is, of course,
assessed on the consumers of illuminat-
ing oil, so that the cost is really a tax
upon the consumers of the state, for
which there is no warrant whatever. The
legislature should not allow the law to
continue in it's present form. 1t will re-
Quire a prolonged and earnest effort un-
der the circumstances to accomplish the
needed REFORM but if the lawmakers go
at it in the true spirit they can accom-
plish practically all that Representative
Hurd seeks to accomplish through his
measure.
The people of the state will watch the
fate of this measure, and will hold those
who oppose it or stand in the way of
the needed reform to a serious respon-
sibility. 1t is discredit to the state,
and a reflection on the law-making body
of the state government that this public
scandal and injustice should be maintain
ed. There is a well defined demand
among the people of every section of the
state to, have the law changed from its
present form. If oil inspection, which is
by no means a public necessity, is main
tanned, its cost ought to be provided for
on some rational basis. The existing
political machine is in sufficiently good
running order without providing by law
lubricating agent at such an enormous
expense.

Trust INVASION OF ENGLAND.

Lord Rosebery is alive to the fact that
England is losing her commercial su-
premacy. Germany and the United
States are the rivals to be feared TIE
Germans on account of their thorough
ness and persistence, the Americans on
account of their combinations of capital
and their love of power.
Rosebery is undoubtedly right in his
conclusion that England is losing her grip
on the manufacturing and commerce OF
the world, but there are other caus IS that
lie deeper than the ability to command
