GOVERNOR HAS
TROUBLE WITH
COL. GARRISON

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 7. up
Possibility of the resignation of
Col. Walter E. Garrison, director of
the state department of public
works, and James I. Hertz, his
deputy director, was expressed In
capitol circles today, following a
conference between Governor Rolph
and the two officials.
The governor, just returned from
tour of the Mother Lode dis
trict, was frankly aroused over ac-
ton of the public works depart
ment in permitting one of its en-
ployees, Grant Merrill of Wood
ford, to take a three months leave
of absence from duty SO that he
might run as an independent can
didate for state senator in the
ninth district against A. L. Piero-
vich of Jackson, whom the COVER
nor regards as friendly to his adj
ministration.
Pierovich won both the Republi-
can and Democratic nominations
at the state primary August 80
Because of this, the governor said
he thought it unfair that Piero-
vich should be forced to the addi-
tional expense of campaigning
against an opponent who entered
the race by filing with the secre-
tary of state just before the expir-
alton of the legal period.
Garrison and Herr have been a
storm center of the administration
for several months with their res
ignations predicted many times
When questioned in this regard
however, Governor Rolph each
time has declared he did not ex-
pect the officials to resign.

limited funds made it extremely
doubtful whether they could continue
longer.

Important Role Of the
Ass in Jewish History

The ass had begun to fall from its
former high estate when Solomon, dis
regarding the provision of the Mosaic
law forbidding that very thing,
brought horses from Egypt into the
country, and made regular use of them
in war and In his regal retinue. But
Israel never did keep the law in all
its particulars, or there would not
have been king of the Jews at any
time!
Afterward the ass degenerated into
the mere burden bearer, the farm ami
NAL, and the steed of such lowly peo-
pie as were Mary the Blessed, and
Joseph, her husband 1t came to be
regarded as the extremity of misery
for a warrior to be brought home
dead on the back of an ass.
Perhaps it is not to be wondered
at that it is not uncommon in the
East to find poor Jews plowing with
an OK and an ass yoked together, al
though it does at first sight give one
a shock to see such thing, remem-
bering how their merciful law dis
tinctly forbad the coupling together
in a team Of the quick stepping ass
and the slow-moving OK. Still, the
Jews have always treated the ass
humanely, never allowing it to be
worked on their Sabbath day, and
the animals place in the Tenth Com
mandment shows that it was held by
them in high estimation.--Mo
