BIGGEST HANDICAP OF A PUBLIC

BIGGEST HANDICAP OF A PUBLIC
official intent on administering affairs in a
business like manner is the politician or
group of party workers intent on placing
someone on the public payroll. Not that plen-
ty of men seeking state jobs aren't 100 per
cent capable and likely to earn their salaries
What we object to is the political detour
which they must travel to get into office. If
the business administration Governor Stas-
sen promised eliminates the political quail
fcation, it will do Minnesota long-to-be-
remembered favor.

AReader Writes

When the Cemetery association
built its iron fence in front of the
cemetery, there was good
gravel road leading to and past,
which, we were told, had always
been good road. No water ever
stood on the road and there was a
good grassy lawn in front of both
cemeteries with hitching posts for
horses. People could stop and go
in the small gate if the big gate
was locked. We built our fence on
a grassy lawn in front and eStab-
hshed our gates. The nice lawn
in front added to the appearance
of the entrance and convenience
of people going there. But the
road builders of our county start
ed a new road to North Redwood,
and without proper respect due to
cemeteries, made a deep ditch in
Notwithstanding the grassy lawn
in front and going so close to our
expensive fence as to endanger
its stability and mar the beauty of
our front entrance. We do not
know why this was done only
that dirt was needed TO build up
their road. We are told that in
other parts of the state where
roads are built, when they come
to cemetery they swing out
leaving proper space between
road and cemetery and leave the
road on level with the cemetery
front. In early pioneer days a
railroad company could survey
through cemeteries and one could
be moved for commercial pur-
poses. But that time is past now,
laws have been enacted. We refer
to (1023D on statue books.

marked improvement in the ply

ferring to Negro elementary

The Bulletin offered a general
recommendation for a replace
ment program, stating that this
was the only possible solution to
the dire situation.
Light is far below the accepted
standards in most of New Or
leans school classrooms and con-
ditions are sufficiently serious in
most Of Negro schools to indicate
that children's eyesight is being
impaired by too little light, the
bulletin brought out.
Harshly condemning other ply
steal shortcomings as improper
sanitary facilities, fire hazard
structures and equipment, es-
pacially stairs, lack of special
room, audisoriums, libraries and
laboratories, the bulletin stated,
lin no other respect n New

The bulletin specifically stated
that Negro schools had many
more shortcomings than white

in Moscow and stamps of the Soviet
Union have been in use there ever
since 1923.
During the formative period from
1919 to 1928, however, a great many
provisional stamps were issued in
these Federated Republics. In Ar
menia alone upwards of 400 major
varieties (not to mention dozens OF
minor ones) are listed in Scott's POST
age Stamp Catalogue. Prices vary
widely, many stamps having only .
nominal value, while others are listed
as high as $175.00 each. There seems
to be very little demand for these
stamps among American collectors.
probably because most of the really
desirable items are surcharged Rus
sian stamps of the pre-revolutionary
era. At auction these stamps usually
bring but a small fraction of their
catalogue price, thus creating a fer
tile field for specialists.
