(By Victor A. Johnston)
Capitol Hill in st. Paul was quiet
this week but it was only a surface
quiet. Many believed it was only
the quiet which proceeds the hurri-
cane. For rumors were rampant
that the axe was getting ready to
swing more viciously on the necks
of statehouse employees and that
dismissals already announced were
only the beginning"
Strength to these rumors came
when Governor Benson discharged
c. Paul Tracy, assistant director of
the drivers license bureau and
twenty-five men were let out of the
war veterans relief agency.
Tracy, of the license bureau, was
one of the staunchest supporters Of
the late Governor Floyd B. Olson.
He was Hennepin county manager
of the Olson for Governor All-Par-
ty committee in 1882 and state
campaign manager for Olson In
1884.
The wholesale housekeeping of
capitol employees comes as flat
contradiction to the governors
campaign speeches in the last cleo
ton when he stood for the merit
system among state employees.
Certainly the ousting of statehouse
workers for no reason except to
give jobs to others Is destructive of
morale among the employees and
not conductive to efficiency.
But with eyes fixed on the 1888
election, the governor goes his way
intent on building up a machine of
office holders who will keep his adj
ministration in the saddle and re-
elect him next year.
Spells System Denounced
This ruthless disregard for the
merit system among state employ
ees Is apt to be a boomerang to the
governor and it Is likely to be one
of the major indictments of his ad-
ministration. It Is certain to be a
charge he will have to answer in
his next campaign. In fact, already
over the state open criticism Is be-
ing expressed and the Worthington
Globe has this to say under the
heading Service, Competence, Be
Damned"

Last year both the canneries and

Of their contributions.
The matter of having some one
employed for few hours each week
TO keep the mailing lists up-to-date
and exercise general supervision
over the business end of the seal
sale, was discussed. 1t was felt that
the amount of work entailed was too
great to expect it to be done on a

was that the association would find
itself money ahead by employing
some one to take over that work for
the next year.

OPERA SCHEME
ABANDONED BY
ROCKEFELLER

NEW YORK, May 13.-John D.
Rockefeller, jr., and his associates
have definitely abandoned the
idea of building a new home for
the Metropolitan Opera Associa-
ton in Rockefeller Center, it was
learned yesterday.
Instead, the land that has been
reserved for an opera house since
the Rockefeller development took
shape will be used for q special
building" the nature of which has
not yet been disclosed. The opera,
it was indicated, will remain indefi-
nitely in it's present home at Broad
way and Thirty-ninth Street, IN
which extensive improvements, in
GLIDING air conditioning, were
made two years ago.
Spokesman Silent
Spokesman for the Rockefeller
interests declined to discuss the
nature Of the project that is to be
undertaken on the site that had
been held for the opera. Another
authoritative source said, however
that the special building" would
not be a theater or the usual type
Of office skyscraper. About half
Of it will probably be occupied by
an organization whose identity
was kept secret.
An indication that the develop
ers were about ready to build
another structure was found. In
the announcement that more
than 81 per cent of the rental
space in the eleven present units
has been leased.
The former opera site, with a
ground area Of more than 10000
square feet, occupies about half

automobile parking.

was believed that a new opera
house would be a central feature,

however, that any agreement had
been reached, and a year later
officials Of the Metropolitan an.
nounced that the opera would not
be moved. Further improvements
in the old building may be under
taken this summer.

LIABILITY INSURANCE is
URGED FOR SCHOOL BUSES

RALEIGH, Jan. pa proposal
that liability insurance be compu1-
sorry on all school buses was made
today by Representative Mercer J..
Blankenship of Mecklenburg in an
appearance before the House educa-
ton committee.
He suggested that subcommittee
be appointed to study the proposal,
but the committee recommended
that he submit a bill to cover his
intentions. Blankenship said he
thought school buses ought to be
protected against personal and prop
erty damage liabilities in case of
accidents. He had not decided to-
night whether he would introduce
such a measure.
