way department. It Is most COM
mendable that there has been a re-
duction in this department, but one
should keep in mind that on Aug
ust 1, 1888, the highway department
payrolls were probably greatly pad
ded with the names of politicians
who were working for the re-elec-
ton of Elmer Benson.
This leaves a reduction of 303 in
all other departments of which EN-
ployment and Security division &C
counts for 287. In other words, in
all departments outside of these
two mentioned, the reduction has
been 16. This is not much to boast
about. The people who voted for
Governor Stassen were led to be-
lieve that an efficient administra-
ton would show considerable de-
crease in the number of regular
state payrollers.
AS a matter Of fact, the number
OF employees in several departments
has been increased. The number
of workers in the administration
department has increased from 2s
to SO, rural credits from 1859 to 1T
public examiner from 81 to 81, hotel
inspection from Is to %, public
properties from 123 to 1875, and taxa.
ton from 103 to LOG.

No one wants to see the work OF
the state government conducted

the pledge was made that economy
could be affected by reduction OF
personnel without loss of efficiency
That pledge should be honestly full
filled, and can be if made in sin.

a number Of trees have been gnaw-

forced into Mr.. Johnson's meadow

City Dweller Inferior
To Farmer in Eyesipht

Although the eyes Of the city
dweller show a greater percentage
OF defective vision than do those Of
his country cousin" they are bet
ter protected against accidental
damage, as shown by DR.. James e.
Lebensohn in his article 1.-THE Eyes
OF Urban Dwellers" appearing in
Hygeia.
In an analysis Of the physical
status Of 100000 life insurance pol
icy holders, the professional group
had the highest percentage Of de-
fective vision Of some degree in one
or both eyes; the agricultural group
had the lowest. In the business
group, defective vision was some
what more common among clerks
than among executives and sales.
men.
The better vision among agricul-
tural workers has been attributed by
some to the better lighting condi-
lions under which they work. But
the selective factors that determine
urban population, such as racial dis
tribution, require consideration also.
The eyes Of the industrial worker
are much better guarded than those
OF the farmer. Though the farmer
may use an i'll fitting pair Of Cog
giles, he tends to ignore the danger
Of something in his eye until ulcera-
ton Is well advanced. Kicks from
horses and mules are a special
source Of danger.
Disastrous wounds Of the eye by
corn stalks are of frequent occur.
renee. Flying splinters Of wood, re-
bounding wires, penetrating injuries
by nails and glances into a gasoline
engine to see how it works have all
been the cause Of such serious injury
as to require removal Of the eye.

Playing the irresponsible press, he

distorts the news to suit its editorial
