works in sugar but his specifications,
choice Of materials and minute care
in construction Of his cakes require
much time and thought on the part
Of the builder. The cake which the

 pointed member of the Penitentiary Commission will greatly hinder any plan for reorganization of the peni- tentiary system. This confirmation is subject to action of your joint bodies The mere act of the confirmation of an individual to become one of three com missioners now in charge of the peni- tentairy would not seem to be a great importance, but l will be unable to construe such action as being in har- mony with any plan to conform to our party pledge to abolish the commits sion. The significance of the act of confirmation would appear far reach ing and contrary to our obligations to the people.
 "l am not seeking out a plan for the burden of blame in the peniten- tiary management, but we must deal with 1t as condition, not theory. The value of the farms and the large increasing debt make it a matter of first importance, and that is whiy I am considering it first among the sub iect for immediate legislation.
 The present salaried commission should be abolished. and an honorary board be substituted, consisting per haps of five members to be appointed by the governor. who in turn should appoint practical farmer to have charge of the operation of each of the state farms. The man in charge of these farms should be real "dirt far mer." He should not be a politicial. i If needs be he might be placed under 1 bond for the faithful accounting of bis stewardship. Salaried comn1is- sions are wasteful of money, reckless l, in methods, oppressive in spirit and ruinous in effect.
 The claim made by many good peo- i pie that an unpaid board will not function promptly and properly. is not borne out by the history of honor ary boards, both in this and other states. The truth is, salaried boards Tor commissions do not, as rule i function harmoniously, and almost without exception they are controlled or influenced by politics and politicians ir IS equally true that better class of men and women are obtainable for service upon honorary boards than upon salaried boards.
