Economy In State Printing

Joseph T. Mannix, expert printer for
the Minnesota Printing Commission,
has evolved plan to offset the excess
sive increased price of paper, in which
he hopes to make a considerable saving
to the state in the purchase of printing
for the various departments at the capt.
tol. He has issued a circular to the
heads of departments, in which it is
suggested that all annual reports be
cut to the core; that they be reduced
to proportions consistent with business
like and practical methods" It con-
cludes with the following sentence:
eff this is done the Printing Com
mission will be relieved of the rather
tnankless and unpleasant task Of editing
these volumes as the law requires
In summing up the methods to be
pursued in economizing in the states
printing bills, the Expert Printer says:
''First-The amount of printing re-
quired for the legislative session can be
considerably reduced, without in the
slightest degree hampering legislative
activities.
"Second-The expenditure for de-
partmental reports can be reduced very
materially if unnecessary verbiage and
immaterial and useless details are eli
minated.
Third policy OF economy might
be furthered by having a particular
erson in each department look after
printing for that department, seeing
to it that copy is legible, that requisition:
are held down to actual requirements
and reporting relative to deliveries, etc, tt
the Expert Printer
Mr.. Mannix is to be commended TO
his efforts to practice economy in hi
department especiallysin these times Q

New Ulm The City Beautiful

"New Ulm-The City Beautiful"
No truer words were ever spoken. They
@truthfuty appear on the cover OF the
little booklet issued last year by the
Commercial Club; likewise in railroad
time table folders and in various publ
cations mentioning this pretty and we'll
laid out city, teeming with picturesque
scenery and historical spots, depicting
scenes of the struggles between the
early settlers and the Indian owners of
the land.
New Ulml is truly beautiful. Not
only that but the citizens take great
pride in cooperating with the authori-
ties in keeping it clean; the streets are
we'll kept up; the buildings for the most
part are maintained in the greatest OF
care, we'll painted and scrupulously
clean. Great civic pride is taken in
New Ulm. The stranger has to be here
but moment, so to speak, to know that
the citizens are proud of their town,
it's natural beauty and it's many attrac-
tons. He is promptly told of the many
advantages great Touring mills,
it's Indian monument, it's DR.. Martin
Luther College, the Herman monument,
public and parochial schools, it's fine
hospitals, and last but not least, it's
"Way of the Cross
And it's when you 60 to see the last
named attraction that you discover New
Ulm's one blemish-its real eye-sore,
and it is really too bad that it's when
you are on your way. to the beautiful
scenes to be viewed from the ''Way of
the Cross" that this one bad spot in all
New Ulm has to be passed.
We are referring to the open sewer, or
ditch that must be crossed while passing
the marsh leading to the Loretto hospi-
tai that this one eye-sore is discovered.
1t is the one place where the authori-
ties might and really ought to get busy
at once. It isn't an expensive PROPOSE
ton and the wonder is that it hasn't
been attended to long ago.

UMlted States Com Make Anything

1t is interesting to know that in a
short time, the United States will be in
a position to compete with any nation
in the world in the manufacture of
chemical products. And this in spite
of the fact that at the beginning of the
war this nation was almost entirely de-
pendent upon other countries for it's
supply of chemicals.
Two years ago most serious indus
trial problem faced this country. All
lines of industries using chemicals were
affected. Especially was this true in
respect to the manufacture of paper and
cloth in which coloring Of any kind was
used. They must have the clyes and
the supply was cut off. AS result
paper prices have advanced, especially
in some colors more than $50 per cent.
There was but one thing to do-that
was to make the necessary dyes.
How well the United States is meet
ing the emergency was shown at the
Chemical Industrial Exposition, held
in New York recently. 1t was the
greatest exposition ever held in any
country, and every article exhibited
was made in America" Every line
Of chemical industry was represented.
Take the dye-stuff industry as an
illustration. This country is now man
ufacturing as high grade Of dyes as
can be made anywhere in the world,
and it is predicted that within another
two years we shall not only be supplying
our own demand for all the dyes used,
but exporting them to other countries.
There is an abundance of raw material
and plenty of capital. The urgent
need is for trained chemists, and there
is no need to worry but that the United
States can supply them. Just now
there is pressing demand for skilled
men in this line of work. 9

Might Pave Country Roads

fully paved street." referring of course

DO you know" he continued, that
it won't be many years before all of the
principal highways in Minnesota will
be just like that? There has never been
a time in all history when the people
We're so aroused and anxious to improve
the public highways, and this interest
is growing every day. The merchant,
the manufacturer, the farmer and in fact
people of every class, are shoulder to
shoulder in this great movement. They
realize now as never before how much
good roads mean to tie country, not
only for the greater comfort that they
thrng, but most of all from business
standpoint. certainly believe that
the Improvement of the roads will not
stop with simply grading and crawling,
but they will-that is, at least the main
thoroughfares paved with a good
substantial paving blocks. 1t will a
paving investment for all concerned"
Possibly the Minneapolis man is a
bit too optimistic or enthusiastic in his
assertions, but who can tell what the
people of this great state of Minnesota,
and this great United States will do,
= CT to what extent they will go in making
improvements, especially when they
see profit in their enterprise? Just
now there is great sum Of money being
raised in Minneapolis, St. Paul and
Duluth to be used in improving the
highway between the Twin Cities and
tie head Of Lake Superior. Of course
1t must be admitted the improvement
of this highway is more for the pleasure
and comfort Of automobiles than from
n strictly commercial standpoint, yet
even at that it will be paying invest
ment. 1t will not be used exclusively
as pleasure boulevard, by any means,
but by farmers, merchants and all classes
of business men along the route. 1t
will not only be easier for the those
hauling big loads to the CT les at either
terminus, but all the towns and villages
touched by that road will benefit from
it.
Good roads mean prosperity for the
communities having them; poor roacs
mean disaster.
It may be some time before the
country roads leading into New Uln
are paved, as the Minneapolis mar
thinks they will be but most OF then
could be made much better than the.

Why Not Let Well Enough Alone

Next Tuesday night the New Ulm
Commercial Club will hold it's annual
election of officers, and that organiza-
ton should heed we'll and avoid any
possible pitfalls and choose only the
right men to guide the club through
it's next year of usefulness. The Review
does not know that the subject has been
even given passing thought by the
members, but week is none to long to
give so important subject careful con-
sideration and the next few days should
be given over to that matter to the ex-
clusion of lesser things.
The fact seems to be that the affairs
of the club have been running along so
smoothly the past year or two, and it
has accomplished so many good things
for New Um that there is a general
sentiment that it will always so do.
In fact, it is presumed the members feel
that it is good thing to let we'll enough
alone and let i 60 at that.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
the present officers have done all and
possibly more than almost any other set
of men that could have been selected
at the time they were chosen.
While it may be asking too much to
expect these men who have served the
club so well in the past to devote so
much Of their time to the welfare of the
organization by serving longer, the
future of the club is at stake at every
election, and a selection of the wrong
man or set of men to take their places
at this time might mean it's downfall,
or at least the possibility of it's standing
still, which is the same as a backward
movement.
This neither the club members or the
city want to see.

Keeping Good Roads Good.

Under the above caption the Weekly
News Letter, publication issued by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture,' urges the necessity of making
ample provision for the maintenance of
roads as part of the improved high
way system. In the past this task has
usually been neglected, the improved
roads in many instances being allowed
to deteriorate until they become almost
impossible, when they are at heavy
cost, rebuilt.
An investigation recently made by
the Office of Public Roads and Rural
Engineering of the government has re-
vealed the fact, however, that in some
counties provision is being made for
the future welfare of the roads while
others are not doing what ought to be
done in that direction. The inquiry
showed that in many districts the up
keep of the roads is provided for by
direct taxation of at least l mill an
nually, and where properly spent it was
found that the highways had really i'm
proved instead of going back. In one
county in New York state it was found
that the highways were maintained by
a so per cent contribution from the
state and under direct state supervision.
As result of this system the roads have
been kept up to their condition on COM
pletion.
An excellent regulation is found in
many parts of the country where mar
row tired wagons are limited to very
small loads, while those with wide
tire are allowed a much larger limit.
1t is certainly like throwing money
away to expend large sums to build or
rebuild roads and then allow them to
deteriorate for the lack of proper care.

born in Germany and came with her
parents to Wisconsin in 1916, when
z years old. She was married in 1861
to Ludwig Brandt and settled in Mime
sofa, living on the same farm until last
July, when she was taken to the home
of her daughter in Mankato, where she
died.
Andrew Wilfert, veteran of the
Civil War, and resident of Cleveland,
Nicollet county since 1856, died at
Seattle last week. The body was

Mr.. Wilfert was born in 1882, and
came to America in 1854, living in
Indiana two years, after which he re-
moved to Minnesota. A few years
ago he sold his farm and went to the
