NOW'S THE TIME
to pay your Weston Leader "sub"

While comprehensive their number
m, of course, not altogether complete,
but atepa will doubtless ba taken to
remedy such deficiencies aa may occur.
There could be a board for regulating
and controlling the odor emanating
from Mephitis Americanus; another
for inspecting the unhygienic diaper:
another for investigating the value of
pulverized eoprolite as a fertilizer.
These suggeationa ara advisory and not
mandatory. Better ones would doubt
less occur to the ubiquitous state job
hunter.
The life of these organizations is
just one report after ona another.
They exhaust themselves in exhausting
exhaustive reports, and then exhauat
the country newspapers by constant
bombardment through the mails. They
develop more reports than a battery
of German howitzers. The fact that
no country paper ever pubiishea these
reports and that no one else ever reads
one, cuts no more ice than an aimless
skeeter on the surface of a stagnant
mill pond.
If these expensive bodies are to be
retained and they seem to have per
manently attached themselves to the
public payroll then should the state
expend a little more money and relieve
the burdened mail of the newspapers.
A state publication should be issued
whenever expedient, to include every
official report, and mailed to every reg
istered voter. Thus would these divers
and sundry boards attain the publicity j
that, second to milking the common
wealth cow, ia their chief desideratum;
sud if they are really doing any good,
the reading taxpayer will know it.
Another and radical measure sug
gests itself, but will never be adopted.
This would ba to summarily abolish
every state board and commission and
first line. This will cost many mil
lions of dollars, for tha American sol
dier la tha highest paid soldier In
tha world. It coats us as much for

It Is when the administration turns
to the citizen soldiery that the big
savings are made. The patriotic of
ficers and men of tha national guard
can be added to the sum total of
available effectives by adding a few
dollars of extra expense in tha way
