posit Of guaranty funds in the banks
from which it is drawn
He gave the legislature its choice
of making him the supreme power to
remove or suspend negligent county
officers for failure to enforce the pro

He favored the creation Of county
tax assessors but characterized as un
reasonable the feature permitting these
officials to collect commission on the
public service corporation taxes levied
by the senate board of equalization. He
recommended that the capital commits

He urged that healthfulness. educa
