one-half the loss.
Senator Pankey has also drafted a
ballot reform bill. cmbodying much
that was good in the Australian ball

sion. It provides for the blanket bal

The agricultural college scandal has
revived the proposition of providing
a business manager for each OF the

publicity man. The idea has been
worked out with great success by the

paid $4,000 a year but he has saved
| the state ten times that amount each
( year by managing the university
