FIGHT FOR SECOND REFORM

The passing out of the old peniten- tiary commission, and the appointment of an honorary board by Governor Nc Rae, marked the beginning of needed reforms in this state.
 The second battle is now on, with the senate today considering the Walls Emory bill to abolish the present Cor poration Commission. If there was one reason to urge for the abolishment of the old penitentiary commission, there are a dozen reasons why the present Corporation Commission should meet with similar fate.
 The old penitentiary commission, while a dismal failure in it's handling of afairs at the great penal institution the commissioners themselves at least were not lazy" and their several du- ties necessarily kept them on the go.
 But this here thing commonly called Corporation Commission represents q "f1owery bed of ease" upon which lounges high salaried commission whose "wee small voice" has never yet sounded note in the interest of the tax paying public,
 Let is pass out like the old peniten- tiary board-then let the attention of the legislature be directed to the State Highway Department.

CORN ON \ CHECKER-BOARD

A mathematician has figured that it would require the staggering number of 9,223. .3}T2. .0S6, ,S54, ,775, sos grains of corn to cover checker-board, placing one grain on the first square, two on the second four on the third, eight on the fourth and so on until all of the 64 squares had been covered. That, according to Successful Farming, would amount to over two quadrillion bushels. and 676, ,SG0 years would be required for the United States to pro duce it at rhe present rate of produc- iton That would be an enormous quantity of corn-also some checker boa ri, wouldn't it?
