EXCUSABLE FOLLY

TT IS true that men anu
women at Christmas time
do things which are foolish,
especially in the giving or
presents. But when did cold
wisdom ever make people
happy? Who wants to see
Christmas when nobody
spends more than he should,
or when there is no giving OF
things that are trivial or need
less or foolish? A truly sane
Christmas would be a miser-
able one.-American Maga

of the highway commission and
the state prison"
Senator Hill believes better
plan might be to put all prisoners
and prison camps, including the
highway prison camps, under the
direction Of the state prison and
the state department of agricul-
ture. with the highway commission
employing only the number of
prisoners it actually needs and
can use, paying the prison fixed
amount a day for each prisoner
employed. This would free the
highway commission from having
to pay for more labor than it ac-
tually needed or could employ and
would make all prisoners not so
employed available for use on the
many state farms, to produce food
and feed for all the state institu-
tions, Senator Hill pointe dout.
eff the state prison is to be con-
solidated with any department, it
would be much more logical and
effect more economy, it seems to
me, to consolidate it with the de-
partmcnt of agriculture" Sena-
tor Hill said. az believe that if all
the state owned farms, of which
there are more than 35, should be
co-ordinated and properly manag
ed and worked with prison labor,
that they could not only be made
to yield 90 per cent of the food
and feed needed by the entire pri-
son system, but most of the other
state institutions as well. And l
see no reason why this cannot be
done"
There is grave danger of over
loading the office of the state
treasurer with too many duties,
Senator Hill thinks. with regard
to the recommendations to conso-
lidate the local government COM
mission and War veterans loan
commission with the office of
state treasurer and make the
treasurer an eX-officio head of
these other agencies.
"The state treasurer is one of
the most important state officials
the state has and his duties are al
ready among the heaviest and
most responsible of any," Senator
Hill said. "He must also spend
much of his time either in New

York in direct negotiations with
New York bankers and financiers
or in correspondence with them.
It seems to me that it will be a
dangerous thing for the state to
load the state treasurer down with
the multitudinous duties of the To-
cal government commission and
this other commission. Nor do l
see where any material economy
can result. I believe it would
prove a very costly experiment."
Senator Hayden Clement Of
Salisbury, on the whole is we'll
pleased with the entire report of
the reorganization committee say
ing:
at is report showing true
craftsmanship and one that brings
economy down to the very mud
sills of our state government"
Senator Clement is inclined to
agree with both Senator Hill and
Senator Kirkpatrick about the
proposed consolidation of the state
prison with the state highway
commission and also to doubt the
wisdom of piling so many addi-
tional duties on the state treas
urer. He agrees heartily with the
recommendation to increase and
extend the powers of the state
board of equalization over the
public sci. ools, however, and will
support this recommendation.
Senator Hill indicates that for
the time being he is opposed to
giving the board of equalization
any more powers, but agrees that
he has not studied the matter
carefully as yet and that the rec
concentration may have some mer-
it. He admits that the school SUI
perindents, parent-teacher asso-
citation and other school organiza-
lions have been bringing powerful
pressure to bear on him to get him
to oppose this recommendation,
but maintains that he is still open
on this matter.
