he does. He straddles his star with

how much trouble he can make.
Sometimes he goes to the earth
and sprinkles fog around so folks
can't see me. Sometimes, when I'm

what kind Of a moon folks want.
Then he changes the words, and

co TO 1t, GOVERNOR.

THE news comes from Atlanta that
Governor Hardwiek will again
ask the Georgia legislature to abolish
a number of soft and useless jobs
which cost the taxpayers 4 consider
able amount Of money. He sought
to get this done last year, but he was
new in office IS were many of the
members Of the assembly, and he
didn't get very far. This time he
is backed by a year Of experience;
he has facts that he didn't have be-
fore, And the assembly will posi-
bly, have more time for business than
last session. And, besides, the gov
ernor has an efficiency man at work
in the various state offices seeking
information on which to base recon-
mendations for trimming down state
employees and therefore expenses.
We are glad to see the governor
tackle the state railroad commission
among the first. If reports are true,
he will recommend this state board
be reduced from five to three mem
bers. The fact that federal law has
taken away from the state board all
railroad rate making authority, the
duties of the state commission have
been greatly reduced, leaving it only
control of utilities within the state
to occupy its time. If five men have
been able for years to conduct the
duties of that office as they have ex-
listed heretofore, surely three men
should be able to conduct the of
flee as efficiently now.
But there is a greater reason. in
our estimation, for reducing the num-
Der of members of the board, and
that is, as contemporary not So

small fry politicians now running

the office from being able to horn
