Business Propositions No measurc-s before the'lcgislature would accomplish more In the way of economy than those placing all commisjioiis and bureaus under the budget commission and turning receipts above budgeted expenditures into the general fund. At present it keeps the commissions busy figuring out ways to spend the constantly increasing receipts, for which no accounting is required, other than the commission's own audit. This is done by enlarging fields of operation and employing more tax-eaters, and raising salaries of employes. There is no reason why the Industrial Accident commis sion, the Fish commission, the Game commission, and all the Dther boards should not be placed upon the same business iasis that governs the institutions, and the commissioners be made to demonstrate their need and use of moneys received and held down to actual necessities. Another practical method to cut down the cost of govern ment is the abolition of all special forces of law enforcement. The prohibition laws, the highway laws and the game laws should all be left with the sheriffs, constables and police, the regularly constituted law enforcement agencies, who are on the payroll anyway and might All the 8ecial forces do is to build up political machines and spend the tax-payers money in the employment of scores of superfluous tax-eaters. They handicap the regular of ficials by dividing authority, scatter responsibility and need lessly increase expenditures. " Consolidation of state bureaus is another means of simpli Tying government and reducing expenses. The bills intro duced providing special commissions to investigate and report to the legislature are simply evasions of the issue. Commissions for this purpose have been appointed, con ducted their investigations and reported their recommenda tions for the past ten years, only to have them thrown into the waste basket and another commission named for another report. There is ample data at hand, other states, such as Illinois, '.daho and Washington, have shown the way, the subject has jeon thoroughly discussed, and there is no reason why the 'egislature should not act. The way to consolidate, is to con lolidatc and not beat around the bush to keep political spoils. These are all simple business propositions that any busi ness man or corporation would adopt in the management of affairs and there is no reason why the legislature should not put them into force, instead of wasting its time in the making of countless new and unnecded laws that only make for con fusion in a law oppressed state, and benefit only the lawyers. The Veil Again Dispatches convey the information that since publication f Dowager Queen Alexandria's photo showing her majesty voaring a veil with her toque, manufacturers have noticed a lecided demand for expensive chenile veiling and fashion experts foreshadow that all fashionable women will be veiled this spring. "The new veils are fine, covering only the eyes. The me.-h and pattern are made to add lustre and mystery to beautiful or even ordinary eyes. Some have an eyelash pat tern on a plain net nnd make the wearer look like one of the latest French dolls a damsel mostly cuffieure and ly 'ashes." All of which is interesting as showing how fashions originaate. That is the principal function of royalty today, now that it has outlived its usefulness in government, to preside at functions and set fashions, in which it has only the competitiin of the demimonde of Paris. No matter how a fashion starts, and few are interested in Ihe origin, no matter how inconvenient or absurd, it is slav ishly copied, under stimulus of manufacturers and merchants, until it reaches the rank nnd file, by which time the upper circles have discarded it for something new and another ityle is inaugurated. Veils are about as useless an appendage as could be Imagined, but let us thank the stars that the royal decree is not for the hoop skirt, the bustle or the wasp waist, that have )o frequently deformed feniininty and defaced beauty. 15ANK CODE INTRODUCED KY KUTLER (Continued from Page One) be filled by authority from whl.h the orinin:il appointment 1st tie. in the appointment of any official In thi employment of (tie commit ion, or In the (let erin Unit inn of any permanent poll, y, the approval of four-fiiihii ,if the eommbslon voulil b-s !Tiuin-iI. riut.'ruromul ater Appllcitl.in foi authority to ap propi i.ito limb i t:i o-.n.il water coul.l be filed with a ml p.is .1 up on by the !:ite em;meei Ink di-p.nt-men, m the jtime maimer mu mii--f;u v. iters nre now ailmlntntmed. under a bill Introdiiei-d hi the Hen ate toibiy by Senator lals.
