The moon though it changes shines very bright, Why it changes he cannot dis cern, Perhaps some day he surely will learn. He said she ought to wash her face, For the smut upon it, is sure a disgrace. Once he caught her changing, behind a sycamore log. She chased him a mile through a very dense fog. He was carrying on his shoulder some charcoal slack, She tripped and fell upon the sack, and ever since then, there has been no lack. Of smut on her face which makes it black. Somebody told me he saw her change, She was short a quarter which seemed very strange. He took from his pocket and of fered a half, But she opened her eyes and gave him the laugh. Then he gave her a quarter, which just filled the bill, Since then she has never gone behind a hill. Or sycamore log to make the change, But stays in the air quite out of range. She has a strange movement across the ecliptic called nodes. Though strange to say she car ries no loads. So Rastus says: When she roaches her perigee, That it is another mystery he cannot see. The line uniting these points is the line of Apsides, But Rastus can't distinguish them from the trees, So at the end of the year when the nodes are complete, He has caught a glimpse of something very concrete.

This is made up twice a month. Commissioner Eollen said that it has been taking nearly ten days to do this, and that by following the fiat fee method the salary of one man can be saved and inspectors paid promptly as it would not take more than three hours to make up the roll. The difference in pay will be slight, as the average pay per inspection in the past has been $2.93. When in spectors get paid for mileage there is no incentive to conserve it, and it has been necessary to cut down some of these claims. In the western part of the state, where the inspector must travel farther than in the east ern part, the former will lose by the new rule, but Mr. Eollen said that he need not act at once on an appli Balance on July 1, 1933 Transferred from other Funds 10,043.G8$ 960.52 $ 45,222.72$ $ $ 47,243.68 $ 923.06 $ 8,059.58 570.16 1,691.18 2,160.16 33.82 67.3G .93 .20 i.i3 74.62 80.51 74.

Commissioner Drake, who has been in charge of the certification work dissented in a lengthy opinion. He points out that there are about 300 inspectors; tnat the fiat rate vill pay those In the closer settled sections more than they get now, which is about $2.75, while it will penalize those in the western part who must travel long distances on poor roads. The new rule will cost $1,000 in the end he says, because $3 is more than the average earning. He says it is unfair, unjust and inequitable and overlooks the spirit of the law which provides that any person traveling on state business is entitled to 5 cents a mile. The com mission's duty is to provide inspec tors and pay their mileage and ex Transferred to Co. Gen. Fund Transferred to other Funds Receipts penses and a fee. He adds: "There Is and can be no Just rea son fo rthis arbitrary ruling. This last payroll was ready on Jan. 4, 1934, and was submitted to Commis sioner Randall and Commissioner Bollen. I will admit that it is a lot of work to audit and check the same. Certainly there are many inspectors to be crooked, but Just because you are afraid of work is no reason to favor the inspectors in the thickly populated centers and penalize the men in the other territories."
