The Thirst for Official Places.

Evening Wisconsin.
There seems to be mania in the
| United States at the present time for
| holding office, either as regular Of
| flee holder or as member of com
| mission. Officials, as Jefferson pith-
lily said, "eat out the substai ce of the
| people" There are needs OF com
missions aud there are needs of Of
| ce-holders, but the enormous show
| or that has been poured upon our
state by the legislature and the gov
| ernors for the past six years should
| arouse popular indignation. Thous-
ands of persons are so indolent that
| they want TO live without hard work,
and therefore they apply to the gov
ernor or To the Legislature for an Of.
| fetal position Of some Kind in order
| to exc out a subsistence which they
cannot earn in Il legitimate calling.
| The mania for Office was always bad,
| but it is growing more fragrant al
most every day. II has become the
| plaguespot in our politics, because
| the legislature and the governors
| encourage this passion for making
| new Offices, and comforting them up
on some personal or PARTISAN favor
| lite,
When will the nuisance stop? We
have passed through more than fifty
political cAmpains, ana the evil Is
growing broader and deeper.
A bill was Introduced into the sen
ate yesterday to croate an architects
commission. This gave an opportun-
ity to Senator Kreutzer Of WauSau
10 make statement showing to " bat
ridiculous extent this commission
past ten years. The following are
his remarks and summary which
should be read carefully by every
taxpayer in the state.
Everybody wants a commission
to regulate some profession or trade,
and it Is becoming menace to the
individual liberty of men to work at
what he pleases, provided he does
not interfere with tho right of others
to do likewise.n
1The senator read report showing
the extent and cost OF the commits
sion system in Wisconsin so far as
the latter item could be ascertained.
