According to conservative esti.
mate not less than 100000 now paid

derstood that this IS not reflection up

WOULD ABOLISH OIL
INSPECTION DEPARTMENT

In the case of oil inspection, this de-
partment should be entirely abolished
and its work performed by the dairy
and food department. In the case of
boiler inspection, this work should be
performed by expert inspectors in the
labor department, who should be
amply compensated for their work
and who should travel throughout the
state in the performance of their du-
ties, devoting all their time thereto.
The fees collected should be based on
boiler capacity and paid into the state
treasury. With reference to the in

transactions that he may act intelli-
gently and for the best interests of
the people of the state. AS prominent
examples l would mention the drain
age and timber boards. The state of
Minnesota spends large sums of mon
ey every year for drainage, and have
every reason to believe that the ex-
penditure of this money by the drain
age board of this state has brought
the best results, but as member OF
the board | cannot of my own know.
edge assure the people of the state
that the best results have in all cases
been obtained.
In the second place under the pres
ent system of organization, with a
large number of nominal and per
functory boards in charge or the af.
fairs of state, there is no way of Sc,
curing such cooperation as is essen.
tial in efficient business administra.
ton. The boards are uniformly too
large. The members reside in every
portion of the state, and even if they
could be assembled at any one time
and place it would be extremely diff.
ficult to agree on any single PROPOSE
ton and to secure uniform support in
the execution thereof
RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD
BE PLACED DIRECT.
According to toe report of the state
auditor the state collects and dis
burses over S2,0O0,000 annually II a
private business Institution transacted
its business by similar methods 1t
could not long exist in the present
field of active competition. Our state
has been exceptionally fortunate In
securing honest and intelligent officers
and the fact that the state has made
such great progress with so few
charges of mismanagement or graft is
a great credit to the men in charge.
but positively no argument in favor OF
the system and cannot possibly con-
vey any assurance for the future.
Bearing in mind the two essential ele-
ments of successful business admins
tration, fixed responsibility and active
cooperation there are several depart
ments of state that can be cited as
models. The dairy and food, 1nsur-
ance, banking and public examiners
departments are all properly organ
lied with responsible head in charge
of each and deputies as well as IN
spectors especially skilled in their
work and devoting all Of their time
thereto. In the board of control and
tax commission every member is espe-
cially skilled in the performance OF
the duties of his Office, devotes all his
sime thereto and the business Of each
board is organized and transacted
along lines of efficiency and merit. In
all these cases there is no question as
to responsibility and if all the bust
ness of the state were transacted
along similar lines the results would
unquestionably be far greater.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1911-01-05
WOULD CONSOLIDATE
SOME DEPARTMENTS.

Perhaps the only remnant OF the
theory that purely political considera:
lions are sufficient, for reward at pub.
lie expense is the present fee ofhce.
There is no possible defense for the
existence of this Office today. Fees
collected do not belong to the officer,
but to the state, and the state owes
the officer a sufficient compensation
for his work, including necessary ex-
penses, and no more. No state officer
should be dependent for his support
upon the amount of fees collected. Ii
these fees aggregate larger amount
than necessary to amply compensate
him for his work and necessary ex
penses, he is appropriating money that
belongs to the state, and if they are
insufficient for that purpose, he is
rendering services to the state with
out proper compensation. Perhaps nc
Offices in this state can illustrate this
more fSrcibly than those connected
with the oil and boiler inspection, ana
surveying of logs I'D lumber. The in
spection of Illuminating oils could bt
turned over to the dairy and food de
partment with practically no addi
tional expense, which void result il

would make the inspection more rigit
and effective as the inspectors woul'

state treasury. With reference to tn
boiler inspection the same argumen
can be used.
