Last Piece of Pie

That threadbare spot down the
center of the Governors Office
carpet has been worn by the pond
erous steps of John j. Brown, direc-
tor Of the state highway commits
sion.
Brown, they tell me, is anxious
to give up his more than $4,000 post
as highway director for the $4,000
salary as a MEMBER OF the state tax
board.
In fact, Brown is so eager to take
the less lucrative Office that he has
been over TO see Governor Leslie
almost every day for the last i'm
portant piece of Republican pie.
But SO far there has been no
sign that Brown will be transferred.
Don't think that it is a sudden
desire to reduce the cost of gov
eminent that motivates Brown in
his demand for the position with the
lesser pay.
The real fact is that the highway
director is appointed for a year and
at the pleasure Of the four mem
bers of the commission, while the
tax board job is definitely for four
years.
Although never accused of being
over-keen politically, it doesn't take
an electric sign to tell Brown that
after Paul McNutt- assumes the
governorship in January his job as
highway director is "caput." And
that means an end to his continual
office holding.
And if there is one thing that
Brown likes, it's to see his name on
the public pay roll.
The task before John is to talk
Leslie into giving him the tax board
job. And that isn't as easy as it
sounds.
Brown until 1923 had been a state
tax commissioner.
He was content to hold down the
job which then paid $4,000 a year
and felt no inclination to get out
and hustle for the good old Repub-
lican party"
In September of 1923, Brown got
an inkling that Governor Ed Jack
son was going to appoint his secre-
tary, Pliny Wolfard, to the job on
Dec. l.
Then along came the Democratic
campaign criticism of the manner in
which the tax board had fixed
various assessments. And they
weren't far wrong.
n y
Well, John got out on the stump
to answer the attacks, which in the
main were directed against him.
Leslie was elected in November

a DAY
~ BRUCE CATION

TINE evolution of dictator gets
= graphic presentation in "Por-
fro Diaz: Dictator of Mexico" by
Carleton BealS.
Diaz today is remembered chiefly
as a ruthless and able ruffian who
held absolute power in Mexico for
upward of thirty years, and during
that time gave the luckless country
at least a semblance of order.
Mr.. BealS here analyses his career
and shows that the man was both
better and worse than the Gus
tomary American verdict made him.
In the beginning, Diaz was all
patriot-unselfish, devoted, and
brave. He was Juarez's most val
ued subordinate during the long
fight against Macmillan and the
French.
He kept the revolution alive in
those days at great personal peril.
He could not be scared, and-won-
der of wonders-he could not be
bribed.
Indeed, Diaz's work during those
years makes an enthralling tale.
Sometimes he had not a dozen fol-
lowers. Always the odds against
him were long.
But he never faltered, and that
Juarez finally won was due in no
small measure to Diaz, who was
all that a heroic patriot ought
to be.
Then he and Juarez quarreled.
Juarez died and Diaz seized power;
and straightaway he became a self
iSh, unprincipled dictator.
He "modernized" Mexico, to be
sure, but it was a blind, one-sided
modernization to which many Of
Mexico's present troubles are due.
He left the struggling masses in
infinitely worse shape than he found
them

'THEYoTELL AE' ~ s. !
Ga4A1 5775=7TNN2 8RN

and in December, 1923, when Jack
son appointed Wolfard to Browns
place on the tax board, the Gov
errlor-elect announced that Brown
would be his secretary.
During the first three months of
Leslie's term it was extremely
difficult even for an informed per-
son to find out whether the Gov
ernor was the big, loud-voiced chap
sitting in the outer Office or the
fellow called Leslie" in the inner
office.
The truth is that many stranger
left the statehouse after talking to
Brown, sincerely believing he had
interviewed the Governor.
1t got rather tiresome to Leslie
and he welcomed the opportunity to
boot Brown across the street into
the more lucrative post of highway
director.
In that capacity, it is matter of
record that John makes far better
tax commissioner. Various legis-
lative investigatory committees soon
became acquainted with this.
In these depression days Brown
quite naturally would prefer four
year job on the state pay roll and SO
he is anxious for change.
