the legislature had a reason for
every bump and protuberance 1t
tackled on to the state. 1t does not
intend to cut off any of the things
the state is doing nor put any new
tasks on the state; that is for the
legislature to decide. 1t intends
only to propose more consistent
scheme for doing the things the
state now undertakes to do. To
organize the machinery so there
will be as little lost motion as may
be-there is plenty of it now. To
hook it up so there will be better
team work. To tie it together so
that someone somewhere shall be
able to tell what the whole works
is accomplishing.
I'm an industrial concern the
man at the big desk can touch a
button and inside of thirty seconds
anything he wants to know about
the concern will be on his desk.
In the state of Minnesota, it would
take man a month of Sundays to
find out some of the simplest facts.
because they never have been
brought together. In Minnesota
it seems as if there were inspectors
treading on one another's heels all
over the state. There is work that
looks likes duplication in more
than one department. And in a
broad sense nobody knows what
anybody else is doing.
AN industrial concern that was
built that way would fall into bank
ruptcy inside of six months. You
can't break the state that easy.
But in these days when its expense
list has risen suddenly from five
million to eight, it is high time to
see that every dollar spent accom-
plishes something. 1t is too big a
sum to let any considerable amount
be wasted. The taxpayers hope
TO see the total reduced. Perhaps
under a better organized system
that can be done. In any case
they want to see things shaped so
they shall get their moneys worth
for the outlay. Under a good
system there is no question what
ever that that can be done. 1t
used to be doubted; is used to be
taken for granted that city taxes
would be squandered. Nowadays
it has been discovered cities can
handle their business on business
basis. 1t is coming to be believed
the state can do the same thing.
so here goes. Everybody in
favor of putting the state business
on business basis. please raise the
right hand. Everybody Thank
you.
"The fret thing to do is find out
what the states business is now.
We will discuss that little latter. -

ON A SANE AND SOUND BASIS

John S. Pardee, secretary OF the
State Efficiency Commission has a
few things to say in this week S
issue as follows:
Every session of the Minnesota
legislature the last forty years has
been approached by some band OF
earnest patriots urging the state to
do something new. Whenever
enough people asked for it, the leg
islature set the state to doing 1t. AS
most of these activities were things
that were never thought of when
the constitution was framed, there
was no regular place to put them
so the legislature fitted up a room
in the attic, or tackled on a bay
window or built a leanto, until
finally the state government ram
bles all over the lot like grand
fathers house, two steps up here
and down a step there, and here All
ell and there blind passage and
wonder a room that you have to go
outside to get in the house-a
struggling, incoherent, inconvenient
piece of patchwork.
For the sake of getting things
done it is time there was some
planning.
Several people seem to have
thought of the same thing. In the
last session of the legislature there
were more than fifty bills introduced
in the house alone for reorganizing
the government or redistrlbuting
the duties of some of the boards.
The state press has been discussing
the same topic with vigor for four
wears. Various associations have
muIled over it. People are think
ing about it everywhere.
mot in Minnesota alone.
Illinois has a commission created
by law to bring in scheme for set
ting the state government in order.
New York is forming voluntary
commission. Kansas is promoting
a commission form of state govern
ment like the commission form OF
CITY government. Ohio is taking
up one department at time and
reniodeling it with the expectation
of making complete job of it.
In Minnesota there were not
= less than four measures IN the
house for such a commission, one
of which passed the house and died
on general. orders in the senate
calendar. The bill that came near
est to passing allowed $4,000 for
the expenses of such commission.
That seems to be fairly moderate.
The New York agitators say it will
take five years to overhaul their
government and it ought to cost
anywhere from $4,000 to $50, ZOO
a wear. 1t is not uncommon for
industrial concerns to spend $4,000
to $40, 900 overhauling their system
and accounting methods.
'Inasmuch as the legislature did
not adopt any measure, however,
that doesn't signify. The efficiency
commission now at work is not the
creature of the legislature, has no
public appropriation, enjoys no
power and represents nothing
whatever but public opinion. A
great many people thought some
thing ought to be done. All right,
said Governor Eberhart, let's start
something. So he named thirty
citizens, notified them that they
had no money and authorized them
to 90 as far as they liked. They in
t,rn oroaniZed. borrowed from the
university DR.. Durand, former
director of the census and a student
of government from the ground up,
elected a secretary and fell to.

nON'T be a pessimist. A pes
simist is never wise. He
only sees the other fellows
acknowledgement his own. The
average merchant is a pessimist
about the parcel post. He sees
in it only an advantage to the
mail order house. But if he
would look a little further he
would see in it possibilities for
his own development hitherto
unsuspected.
By means of it he can reach
every customer within fifty
miles of him more cheaply, more
quickly and more satisfactorily
than any mail order house in a
big city. He should hasten to
make the buyers In this territory
acquainted with this fact Then
he should back up his advertised
claims for his goods with abso-
lutte fidelity. The sequel will be
inevitable success.

Lights on Improved List.
DEDICATION ON FEBRUARY 8

The Sergeantsville Methodist
Episcopal Church will be reopened
for service on Sunday, February 8,
after being closed for several months
on account of extensive alterations
and repairs.
A new steam heating plant has
been installed, doing away with the
unsightly stoves and assuring plenty
of warmth for the coldest days.
New and comfortable seats, of
the latest pattern have been added,
and they not only look good but
are good.
The Angle lighting system has
been adopted, that being considered
best, in the absence of gas or
electricity in the town. Another
advantage of this system is, that
in case of the introduction of gas
or electricity into SergeantsVille
within the next few years, the
lamps could be disposed of to some
other organization similarly situated.
The church has been repainted
and papered, inside.
