I Attacks Lnnrt Commission. With the cunning of tho average politi cian Mr. Berge attempted to show that the office of the land commissioner was run on an extravagant basis stating that the commissioner "kept an employe who drew $1,B00 a year to execute"" deeds on maturing school land contracts and all the employe had to do was to wrlto In tha printed deed the description of the land and the grantee's name." Had Mr. Brge taken the trouble to get the facts In the case he would have found out that this employe had something else to do except "write In the description and name of the grantee" In the deeds exe cuted by th land commlssionr's office. Not only docs this employe "write In the description and the name of the grantee" but whenever a piece of land Is sold under contract ho Is compelled to go through the entire history of tho land and see that tho title Is clear as far as the state Is concerned. On top of this he has many other duties which as chief clerk In the office are a part of his offi cial duties and does pot simply "wrlto In descriptions and nsnte of the grantee" In the deeds. Too Many llnnrd.
