Tt costs too much to. run our
state government,''is a quite COM
mon expression these days. Conced-
ed. But it is not going to reduce the
expenses to create several new de-
partments with high salaried offici-
ais, as some of the alleged reformers
PROPOSE. The Union will not favor
the creation of any new department
until some of those now in existence
are abolished.
