Service That Serves

Up to that time the body
of men called the public
service" commission had
been used as a bumper for
the corporations, a clearing
house of special privilege.
He made 1t a public service
commission.
For instance he issued an
order to his engineers which
ran something like this:
THE corporations will get
what's coming to them-no
more and no less. IL you
are out to allow them any
advantages or privileges you
lose your job. And IL you
take a cent from them which
is rightfully theirs, you will
be fired"
The engineers have acted
accordingly.

to be annexed to French Guiana,
but France wouldn't annex them,

The present president is
Adolph Bresset Beaufort, a
French colonel banished to
