Owing lo tin tremendous Import? ance of Ihe bualneaa of the League, it is most desirable that only competent pemnns he employed In ha service, and salaried should be commensurate with the responsibilities Involved; but nothing could be more unfortunate titan that the League should becorm the shining mark of grafting utlice seekers who era looking for easy berths with good pay, with no Idea <?> giving adequate service In return.
