buildings and the builhing Of the main
part OF the machinery had been let
by the former administration and
that the present administration had
to depend upon these mon selected by
their predecessors to do the work
and do itas rapidly as possible. Every
time I talked with any Of these men
/. during h spring and summer they
promised me hat they would COM
plete the work as soon as was pos
sible, and in fairness to them + will
say that considering the great amount
Of work to be done I believe they have
completed the project as rapidly as 1t
was possible to do 80.
w have secured a superintendent
Of the mill and of the elevator, men
OF wide and successful experience in
the line OF work they are here called
upon to do. and both Of these men
have been busy for some time COM
pleting the working force for the
successful and economical operation
.of both the mill and the elevator.
We have not vet hired the gen.
a manager. as we are anxious to
secure for this position the most ex-
perienced and capable man tina can
be secured for the salary that we can
AFFORD to pay. We have Investigated
procure h right man for the place.
Opening Sound Policy.
"A few have offered the criticism
hat we should not have opened any
part Of the plant until the whole pro-
5ect was ready. I do not believe this
criticism is just. The units of the
mill and the different legs of the ole
Nator can be operated independently
OF each other. Since one OF these
units is now ready it seems good bust
ness to begin operations and to Sc
cure a market for the thousand bar
els per day that the unit can mill.
4 In this way we shall be able to
build u selling organization Inc our
market gradually, and therefore on a
more stable basis.
1t has been our aim in completing
the mill and elevator to eliminate all
political consideration, and to handle
the work. and secure the manage
mont in as businesslike q manner as
possible.
No Politics.
We are confident that the project
cannot be made a success If It 10
made q football Of politics. and that
the only way in which 1t will have a
chance to succeed is by eliminating all
politics from the management Of the
plant, and to run 1t on a strictly
business Enthusiastically, honestly
and economically.
We pledge to the people Of the
state such an administration az the
business Of the mill and elevator to
the end that It may succeed II success
IL possible.
Belongs t All.
In opening the plant today, I wish,
70 emphasize the thought that 1t be-
longs to all the people of the state
to those who do not believe it can
succeed as we'll as to those who have
faith that the project can be made to
pay for the investment made, Since
It belongs to all Of you, I sincerely
hope that you all will cooperate fully
In. the task Of making It as successful
- possible, and thereby promote your
" interests as taxpayers Of the
state.
The people expect it to be run an
4 business institution and to male
suf1cient money to pay a reasonable
return on the Investment made; 1t
must not be treated either as a charity
or as q political machine. :
With the splendid wheat raised in
this section and with skill and expert
ence ON the part Of U employees, we
expect z -four equal to the: very best
