The Delta independent., 1911-06-16
the right to appoint what

ever number of veterinarians they
think is necessary at 500 per
month each, to help keep down
mango, scabbies and other conta-
geious diseases among stock.
The above are just a few of the
jobs created by the Eighteenth. 1t
will be noticed that the power of
the boards and commissions in al
most every instance is unlimited
when it comes to the appointment
of help. OF course the most power
full will be the tax commissions and
the fire warden laws. While the
tax commission was perhaps neces-
sary, still it has been given so much
power that it can build an almost
invincible machine. The fire warden
bill is purely and simply a politi-
cal job bill. There is no necessity
for such an office and certainly no
necessity of the appointment of
one man in every incorporated town
in the state to investigate the ori-
gin of fires.
