THE GOFERyoR on CHARTER REVISION.

THE GOFERAOR on CHiRTER REVISION.
Governor Odelrs message TO the Legislature
accompanying the report Of the Charter Re
vision Commission IS NOT only courteous and
respectful in its treatment OF the reVisers. as
there was every reason 10 suppose ii would be
but on The whole cOmmendatory Of their work
The Police bin now before the Legislature
which, of course, the Governor was known TO
approve, differs from the police proposals Of
the Commission in two main pOnts-namely, in
abolishing the Office of Chief and making
single Commissioner the executive as well as
the administrative mead Of the force and in
giving TO the Governor equal power with the
Mayor to remove the Commissioner at his pleas
ure without a hearing. So far as we have OBJ
served there is no decided opposition TO the first
of these changes though the suggestion has
been heard that il would put an excessive bur
den on the Commissioner. The provision con
eerning his removal has been strongly disap-
proved on several grounds. one Of them is its
invasion Of the so called right of home rule as
10 which we have, with some hesitation. shared
the view that under the circumstances this OBJ
lection does not condemn the experiment
A more serious question is whether the dual
power Of removal lodged with the Governor
and the Mayor, who are likely 10 be politically
opposed, as they are now, might not tend 10
arouse personal animOsities and produce scan
dalous conflicts between them, with consequent
decentralization of the police force Doubtless
there is a possibility that such unfortunate
complications, and even a paralysis of police
authority, would occasionally ensue; but the
danger is, we think, rather remote Officials Of
high rank do not invariably refrain from public
displays of an outrageous character but n Is
necessary 20 assume. as the very basis Of gov
ernment, that they viii act from a sense of duty
and propriety. A third objection is that, ina
much as the Constitution makes certain officers
removable by the Governor, il would be a yio-
lation of its spirit and intent for the LegIslat-
ure 10 give him the power of removing others
But as Mr.. Odell points out the Legislature did
that very thing IL passing the present charter
which authorizes the Governor TO remove the
Mayor and Controller after q hearing and in the
mean time 10 suspend them for thirty days
The revisers, who did not touch these provisions
OF the charter, certainly have no reason TO com

Nay, it is the loss of all the world. Not long

NORMAL AND
ABNORMAL.

there is no need for more such schools
in this state at this time. The attempt
to get large appropriations for the newly
proposed institutions, with which to
boom the towns at which said schools
may be established, is merely develop
ment of abnormal greed and abnormal
chicane upon the part of practical poll
ticians who regard the looting of the
treasury of the commonwealth for the
benefit of small towns therein located as
the very consummation of civic virtue.
Nebraska needs less instead of more
institutions to be supported by taxing it's
citizens. The fact that graduates from
certain high schools in this state may,
without examination, enter the Univer-
sity and graduating thence may, without
examination, be granted teachers GER
tificate, faces normal schools with
sardonic grin. When teachers can be
turned out as above why have any
normal school at all? Is there not a
corner on leadership in Nebraska?
Is the teacher trust normal, or alb
normal?
