GOV. STASSEN
A GOOD SPORT

Say what you will about the Stas-
sen incident at the royal reception
at Winnipeg but in the end every
one must admit that the Minnesota
governor played the role of a good
sport all the way through.
Not only did Governor Stassen
deliberately refrain from insisting
on a presentation to the king and
queen, but he was the first to in
sist that the incident be overlooked.
Stassen's final gesture in the af-
fair was to telegraph Canadian Of
ficials relieving them of any anx-
iety concerning their own "boner."

One of the toughest jobs in the
streamlining and undermining of
the states government is the lot
of Miles Cooper, director of pur-
chases. He is a right hand man of
Leslie M. Gravlin, who was ap-
pointed state business manager by
Governor Stassen last week. Stas-
sen had earlier named Cooper to
the big Three" Commission Of
Administration and Finan e)
where he was in charge OF pur-
chases. and in his present position
he will continue that very vital
phase of the states business.
One of Cooper's most difficult
tasks in the early stages of the re-
organization, is to educate bust
nessmen throughout the state that
thy have a right to enter bids en-
the furnishing of supplies and
materials to the state. Heretofore
the state limited it's purchases to a
few select firms, chiefly in the Twin
Cities, with the result that out-state
firms were deprived of the bust
ness. Now, however, anyone sell
ing goods for which the state is a
buyer is not only eligible, but is
urged to submit bids on the usual
forms. This procedure, Cooper be-
lieves, will result in a more equit-
able distribution of the states buy
ing and will also enable the state
to make better purchases.
And in line with that, all of the
states buying is being concentrat-
ed in Cocper's office. Heretofore
the highway department and the
state board Of control did practi-
cally all of their own buying, max
ing for duplication in many in
stances and the payment of high.
er prices for the smaller lots.
The director of purchases will
shortly appoint four men to take
active charge of buying for all OF
the agencies of the state. One man
will be in direct charge of buying
! foods, drugs and related items fol
the state institutions. He will be
an expert in these lines and will
know what the state is buying and
getting. Another man will be
charged with the purchase of all
motor equipment. He will knew
the states needs and the right
prices for the various pieces OF
equipment. A third buyer will be
in charge of securing office equip.
ment, supplies and books. And the
fourth will direct the purchase OF

institutional supplies such as
clothing, yard goods. etc. Each,
said Mr.. Cooper, will be a special
list in his particular line and will
make it his responsibility to see
that the state gets what it orders.
The state expert printer, whose Of
flee buys all the states printed
forms. is cooperating with the pur-
chasing department to effect saw
ings.
To put buying on a still more
scientific basis, the director will
name a chemist who will set up a
testing laboratory in which articles
bought by the state will be tested
to see If they conform to the
specifications contained in the
bids. There will be a complete re-
cord CT everything bought from the
time 1t Is ordered until put into
use.
Insofar as possible, buying in the
future will be done on the basis Of
specifications determined by the
Federal government. The govern
ment has made elaborate and de-
tailed tests in it's laboratories and
these findings are available to all
prospective bidders.
Savings have already been eff
fected by Mr.. Cooper in the short
time in which he has been in Of
flee. For example, storeroom pur-
chases during the period Of Janu-
airy Is to May IS, 1889, have been
$500 under prices paid for similar
items under the previous admin
istration. This includes a saving of
fully $1,000 on a purchase of car
bon paper alone.
Open competitive bidding, en-
gagged in by all legitimate firms in
the state is the ultimate goal of
the department. said Mr.. Cooper.
He believes that every business
man who is paying taxes toward
the support of the state is entitled
to an equal chance for state bust
ness, and that sales made to the
state be made at a fair profit. He
believes that the great majority of

Need OF Sales Tax
Explained By Hoey
In Talk To Women

Raleigh, Jan. 17.-(AP) -Governor
E1oey asserted today that North Caro-
lima could easily repeal the sales tax
and lessen other taxes" if it did mo
more in the way of governmental SER
vices for the people than states with
out a sales tax.
The chief executive spoke to the
Sir Walter cabinet, an organization
of the wives eff State officials and
legislators. Pointing out the reason
why the State has to have certain
taxes, while other states have been
able to repeal them, Hoey said:
'Take just the one matter of pub
lie school systems; the most contri-
buted by ur sister states in this ter
ritory to the public school system is
between 100000 and $4,000, 600
per year, whereas North Carolina
spends $25,0c0O00 per year on her pub
lie school system. The difference on
this one item alone explains why
North Carolina has to retain the sales
tax to perform the service which the
people of the State demand with re-
ference to The public schools"
