and agencies were called before
them. Each and every one OF
them agreed 100 per cent that
the State of Mississippi should
have fewer bureaus, commissions,
and boards. But each and every
one of them said their own bu-
reau, agency, or commission, was
unique, that its duties and func-
tons were extra special, could not
possibly be changed or transfer
red, or eliminated, but that it
would be all right to eliminate
others.
Certainly the State of Mississip-
pi has not grown in wealth and
in population in the past twenty
years to justify the increase in
expenditures.
We all bellyacfe about the ex-
penses of the Federal government
and sit supinely by and let the
State build up a bureaucracy,
taking into consideration size, the
equal of the Federal Govern
ment- We are going to be called
on for tremendous sums for edu-
cation in the immediate present
and in years to come. We.are al
ready taxed, taxed and re-taxed.
If we have not reached the limit,
certainly we are not far from it.
y. ooinioT, Governor Wright
should call a special session of the
Legislature this winter to act on
the report of the Fact Finding
Committee on Reorganization.
What do you think?
I, for one, am decidedly more
interested in how, as a candidate
for Governor, you feel about do
ing something for "the people"
by elimination rather than addi-
ton. l think we "the people"
have too darn much done for us
now.

An Open Letter To
G%ubernotoriuI Cund.

In Governor Wright's mes
sage of January 3, 1850, he
stated:
eve now have, as before stat
ed. 1O3 agencies carrying on
our governmental functions.
Leaving out your offices
constitutional and statutory
we have from one to ten
boards. commissions or bu-
reaus for every letter in the
alphabet except q, u, x, and
z. Hundreds of employees
have been added to the pay
roll of this State, and two
large capitol buildings and a
new fifteen story building are
not sufficient to house the va
rious governmental agencies"
At the 1850 session of the Mis-
sissippi Legislature there was
created a Fact Finding Commit
tee on Reorganization of State
Government. This committee is
composed of good men from both
the Senate and House. They have
made their report to the Cover
nor. In part the committee states,
and goes on to show how and
why, that by elimination, consoli-
dation and transfer, the 103 agen-
cies can be reduced to 26. And
through such elimination and con-
solidation, the State can be saved

Among other things, they re-
commend that the office of the
State Tax Collector be abolished
The State of Mississippi has as
much use for a State Tax Col.
lector as a hog has for a side sad
die. The duties of this office car
be handled by the State Tax
Commission.
And on the subject of the State
Tax Commission: Hon. ALI Stone
is nationally recognized as the
best tax commissioner in all the
world. He has done a swell job,
Mr.. Stone is not getting
any younger. And we believe
that privately Mr.. Stone would
agree with everything we r 60
ing to say here. The State Tax
Commission has entirely too much
authority and certainly the peo-
pie of the United States now
realize, at least all thoughtful peo-
pie do, that too much authority
cannot be given to any official,
from the highest to the lowest
Mr.. Stone, as stated above, is no
a young man and cannot
possibly be as active and as cog
infant of what is going on in his
commission now as of, say ten
years ago. We believe we can

cratic arrogance on the part of
some of the Commissions employ

Leonard Bernstein could be well
pleased with the reception given
him after the performance of Bee
thoven's "Eroica" Symphony last
night at his second appearance
as guest conductor OF the Ma
tional Symphony. Weather con-
ditions, at their worst for the
two concerts he directed here,
limited the size of the audience
but did not affect the enthusiasm.
Prolonged applause, with shouts
and cheers mingled. recalled the
young conductor several times.
The program consisted Of two
Beethoven works, the second be-
ing the Concerto No. l IN c
Major" in which Mr.. Bernstein
was soloist as well as conductor
The dual role remains something
Of a stunt and never guarantees
q thoroughly satisfying perform
ance. Mr.. Bernstein is so fine
a pianist that he could be en-
loved as soloist with some other
conductor. Interrupting his play
ing to fall into his antics as con-
ductor was little disturbing, to
saw the least, and could not help
but dispel the mood, especially
in a concerto such as the one
programmed. Iturbi tried 1t and,
although a quieter conductor, the
effect was the same.
When Mr.. Bernstein had time
to sink into the character OF the
concerto, he showed himself an
Interpreter of sensitivity and i'm
agination. These qualities high
lighted many measures in a spe-
cial manner and his light, flowing
finger technique created phrases
of delicacy and charm. The lyri-
cism of the work was present IN
his delivery but the more poetic
side had to give way often to the
conducting needs. This was most
visible in the Largo, where the
mood must be maintained con-
tinually. Only occasionally. as In
the cadenza of the first move
ment, was the pianist tempted to
a fuller and rougher tone which
was modified to it's proper di-
mansions in the gay and robust
Rondo.
If further evidence were needed
as to the usual extent and quality
of Mr.. Bernstein's muSicianship,
1t was to be found in his perform
ance as soloist. 1t was present
also in his reading of the "Eroica, "
where the appreciation of its mu-
steal values was expressed with
fine insight. He conducted it with
more dignity than he exhibited
the previous Wednesday and only
now and then reverted to the
exaggerations and posturings he
employed then.
The performance had continu-
fly and was built up expertly
What it lacked was the emotional
warmth that comes from a. thor
ough penetration of its depths.
For all the Elasticity of his ideas,
he could not attain the intangi-
BILE something that bespeaks the
profound. The Funeral March
needed it and the pianissimo
passages of the Scherzo.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Bernstein has
revealed himself as a remarkable
conductor and musician for his
years. When he has Gained down
his unfortunate style of directing
and had time to take account of
himself, the missing ingredients
of his artistry will be discovered.
Last night he provided another

 NOTES
By Lew Hanks

l received 8 visit from our new Extension agent. Mir. Dick Blue. just arrived from Homer. Dick IS 8 University Of Alaska graduate. He is familiar with Alaskan agri- cultural problems. am sure he sill do good job.
 He replaces Mir. Parker Lester. who resigned this week. l am sorry to see an old friend resign. After coming here from the states where relationships are some times cool between agencies. ii was really a pleasure to work with the Extension Service here under the leadership of Mir. Les- ter. We wish him the best of luck m whatever work he undertakes in the future.
 You can thank the Soil Conser- vation Service for the recent rains. We just received a ship ment of aluminium irrigation pipe for use in experimental irrigation work. Then it rained. I hope it keeps it up.
 This rain ought to help out lot of grass and pasture fields. I saw lot of good grass hay made during our dry weather. This rain will make that second crop grow if you pour on the fertilizer and give it a chance. You can get more from your money raising brome grass than oats and peas. Talk to the fellows who are doing it.
 How are those faithful fields coming altng? Want to get rid
