If machine politics had discovered
seven separate and independent state
labor departments, with opportunities
for waste, 1t would have taken them as
an indication OF "easy money" and
would have increased the departments
Governor Cox reduced the seven TO one
known as the industrial commission,
and placed men already In one OF
more of the departments in charge and
forced them to work under the In
creased responsibilities for the same
salaries they received for the smaller

VICTORY
For Tie Mounts Over A
Columbus Team
On The Y. M. c. A. Floor
Wednesday Evening

In a clean game, in which unneces-
sarily rough play was absent, the
Mounts defeated the Luft's Smokers
of Columbus Wednesday evening in
comparatively easy fashion. The
score was "a to Is. Superior passing
and team work won the contest for
the locals. The crowd was good.
The start and first few minutes of
the game looked like it would develop
into hard. even struggle. The locals
scored first with field basket but the
score was quickly tied. After while,
however the local system got into mo-
tion and the points began to pile up
rapidly. Reeder starred at basket
shooting, caging 8 baskets while he
was in the game. He was later sue
Ceeded by substitute. The first half
ended with the score 90 to 8.
Brown was completely helpless as
far as aggressive play was concerned.
Ordinarily, he is the principal poin1
getter for the Mounts but Kiblie, evi.
IDENTIFY having been informed of his
basket shooting ability, was on top OF
him every minute. The only two
points scored by the local center were
foul shots.
| During the second half, when the
Mounts were far in the lead, team OF
substitutes was sent in to replace the
regulars. While there was less scor
ing done by them, the second string
players went at fast clip and hat
control of the situation all of the time
Kiblie was the best performer OF
Luft's team, His work was excellent
both on offense and defense.
