OVERLAPPING OFFICES
Duluth Herald

(Duluth ierald)
There Is something for the imag-
ination of the average citizen 20
take hold of in the fact that the
Dill proposing reorganization OF
the Minnesota state government
abo.ishes the offices of state fire
marshal, chief oil inspector, COM
missioner Of weights and measures
and chief boiler inspector, and puts
their duties under a commissioner
in the state industrial commits
sion.
That commissioner would be
charged with the duty Of seeing
that the inspections neeL4d to in
sure the enforcement Of regulatory
laws were made, and no doubt he
could do ii with fewer men and
less cost than it takes now
One of the most widely visible
defects OF the present form OF
government Is that it's possible to
have half dozen state inspectors,
each engaged on a special mission
which will take only little time,
in the same small town on the
same day.
That lock. extrtvagant, and it
is.
1t may be that one man couldn't
do all the work. A boiler inspec-
tor probably has 10 know some
thing about boilers, anu perhaps
the same man could not inspect
boilers and test scales. But the
work could be done by fewer men
than 1t takes now.
The consolidation does not yet
seem to be complete, for there are
other inspectors, like the hotel in
| spectors and agents Of the state
| board of health, who are not in
clude1!
| Yet it looks like a step in the
right direction, though the taxpay-
ers OF Minnesota should not put too
great expectations in this step. II
every state employe worked free
fer a year. the savings in state
taxes would be astonishingly small
Yet there would be IA saving, and
in the present state of tile public
mind toward taxation. any saving
at ali will be gratefully received

ADVENTURE OF

Peg Leg carried in his peddler pack
Mrs. Chipmunk was so excited she
picked up first one thing and then
another.

claimed. Isn't it lovely! 1t would
exactly match my new black and
orange dress.
'And what lovely mat! 1t would
do for center piece on my table tC
put under my geranium pot, or or
the back of my big plush chair.
"And what pretty dish! 1t would
do finely for pickles, or l could use
i: on my bureau to put pins in. How
much is it, Mister Peg Leg"
Mrs. Chipmunk admired every
thing and asked the price. There
was silk apple pin-cushion, and a
picture and clock and silk shaw
and shiny kettle and some beads
and bracelets and a dish mop and
handkerchiefs and everything almost
! ooh, dear!' Sighed Mrs. Chipmunk
81 do wish | was rich! Chirk and
have little money saved up in the
tea pot on the mantel for rainy
day, but we agreed not to use it,"
"Why don't you ask Mister Chip
munk?" said. Nick who was very
anxious for the littles peddler man to
get enough money to buy a new peg
leg. His old one was worn off SO
awfully.
"That's a good idea!" declared
Mrs. Chipmunk. Hes out doing the
lunch dishes in the kitchen. He al
ways does them on washing day."
But no Chirk was to be found
There was the kitchen just as she
had left 1.-THE dishes all piled up
in the sink. And so sign Of her hus-
band.
"The very ideal" she exclaimed
"Then III just take some money out
of the tea pot without asking. It's
mine anyway for I've saved it,"
But, 10 and behold! The tea pot
was empty!
Mrs. Chipmunk rushed back to the
parlor. II can't buy anything" she
cried. "The money has disappeared
and so has my husband"
That's too bad!" sighed Mister
Peg Leg starting to gather up all
his things again, Nancy and Nick
helping him.
But it's not your fault, Mrs.
Chipmunk," he said. "And don't be
too hard on your husband. Something
may have happened"
Just as they were leaving who
should come rushing in but Chirk
Shipmunk himself.
"Wait minute! Wait a minute!"
he called. "It's my wife's birthday
and want to buy her a present.
I've been out earning the money"
"Wh " why, Chirk Chipmunk!
gasped his wife. "You got that
money right out of our tea pot. It's
gone!"
"What!" shrieked Chirk, rushing
back to the dining room to have a
look. 81 never took a cent?
