an UNNECEssARY BoARp.


In one of his messages the late Governor
Matthews urged the substitution of state
veterinarian for the present live stock sani-
tary commission. He gave as a reason for
the substitution that the present method is
too expensive and that the little work it
does could be performed at one-tenth the
present cost. He did not present the finan-
cial statement, which it seems would have
been a conclusive argument against the COM
mission. That the Legislature may have the
facts, it can be stated that during the six
years which ended with 1895 the cost and
expenditure of the commission was $32, 214.32,
or S. 1896 year. An itenized statement of
the expenditures for the year is Instructive:
Salary and expenses of three commissioners,
2OO5.7O: salary and expenses of secretary,
S3S345 total $2,3S9.15. The further expenses
of the commission were as follows: Salary
and expenses of state veterinarian, $1,s9O.45;
paid for thirty-six horses killed, $751; local
veterinary service, S112.75; total, $2,69O1S
outside of expenses of the board. The dis
essed animals were condemned by the vet
erinarians, the work of the board being to
appraise the animals condemned, so that
practically the State paid, during 1885,
81. 3S9.15 to have the value of thirty-six
horses killed appraised. That is, it cost five
times as much to ascertain the value of a
diseased horse as the amount paid its owner.
Fer the year which ended in July 1897, the
salary and expense of the commission and
its secretary were 81, 1890 1t appraised ami
mails IN the valup of $3.50
1t should be understood that this COM
mission is not composed of experts, as the
state veterinarian decides in every case
what the disease is and what shall be done
Now, if the state veterinarian must do all
the work except fixing the value of the ami
mails killed. it seems that the appraisal
could be made al much less cost than over
81 SEQ year. thus saving nearly half the
money expended by the commission. Gov
ernor Mount has seconded the recommended
ton of his predecessor in regard to the abo-
lition of the commission and bills to that
effect and the substitution of the state vet
erinarian have been introduced in the Senate
by Mr.. Guthrie and in the House by Mr.
May. The only defect in these bills is that
the appointment of the veterinarian is
vested in the Board of Agriculture, which is
no more a branch Of the state government
than is the State Board of Commerce. This
with all other appointments should be
vested in the Governor.

THE SALIENT FEATURE.

The salient feature of the pending bills
designed TO secure more responsible govern
ment in counties and townships is that
which creates what may be called a legisla-
tive branch. Reasoning from analogy
there should be no objection to this feature
Our system of government is based upon
the theory that the power should be divided.
In the federal government the legislative
branch is given the first place, the execu-
five and judicial branches follow, not as be-
ing less important, but because the one is
to execute the laws and the other is to in
terpret them. The same is true of the
State Even in city and town governments
in Indiana there are councils TO consider
the estimates and to make appropriations
Carrying out the same principle why
should not townships have township coun-
ellis and counties have county councils? If
a council is necessary in a city, why is it
not necessary in township and in eoun-
ty? An excellent trustee in an adjoining
county objects to the council because it
makes him merely a figurehead to carry
out the DEGREES of men who are set to watch
over him. He undoubtedly believes that
such is the case, but if he and other trus-
tees who are honorable and intelligent men
will consider the matter they will see that
the council proposed cannot make trustee
more of a figurehead or watch over him in
any other sense than the President of the
United States and the Governor of the State
are figureheads. The methods proposed are
the same as are in force in the United
States states and cities. The President
or his subordinates first recommend to
Congress the amounts of money they deem
necessary for the different departments.
These estimates are submitted to Congress.
Often Congress cuts them down-does this
make the President or his subordinates
mere figureheads because they are told how
much money they may expend? The benev-
olent penal and educational branches of
the state government under the Governor
make estimates The Legislature rarely
appropriates as much as any board under
the Governor estimates to be necessary.
Does this make figureheads of the boards
Is it not possible that a township trustee
may desire to expend more money than is
necessary, even the most discreet and con-
scientious of them? If it has been found to
be better to have Congress make appropria-
tons for the United States, the Legislature
for the State and the Council for the city,
is not the assumption in favor of councils
for counties and townships we'll sustained?
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1899-02-04

be such that he would prefer to spend less
or not keep house" at all. The most digni-
fled way would be to pay the Governor an
adequate salary and let him choose his own
mode Of living The state executives who
receive more than the Governor of Indiana
are the Governors of Illinois $1,000 Ken
lucky $500 Massachusetts $3.50, New
Jersey $4,000, New York $4,000, Ohio $500.
Pennsylvania $4,000. The Legislature should
not assume to determine the manner or
style in which the Governor should live, by
making a specific appropriation for house
rent. and if the salary now attached to the
office is not adequate without being pieced
out with an allowance for house rent it
should be increased. There is no reason why
the State should furnish the Governor a
residence that does not apply equally to the
state officers
