RECALL FOR PUBLIC OFFICIALS

A plan by which it was proposed to
emove unworthy public officials was
rejected BY the Montana progressives
at their ~recents state convention, al
though the recall is supposed to be q
part OF their reform program. The
proposition was presented in a plat
form plank which said:
1--WE favor the making of the present
convention . permanent state conven-
ton until such time as effective laws
shall have been passed to provide for
the recall of all elective officers, which
convention shall be given the undated
resignationsof0all it's candidates for
Office; and at any time said convention
should forssny reason see fit to recall
such officers as aresimade its candi-
dates by :this convention it may by
the vote of 60 per cent of the members
OF said 3permanent organization fix
the date when said resignation shall
take effect"
This method OF recalling public Of
fcials vas unacceptable to the con-
yention, and it's nominees are not sub.
ject to the penalty contemplated.
There Is q growing public sentiment
that some plan should be devised by
which incompetent or derelict public
employees may be removed from Office.
The election Of Q candidate to q fed
eral, state or county Office is in
effect Q contract between that individ.
nal and thelpeople.O 1.-THE public official
10 guaranteedlcertain compensate for
services rendered during Q specified
length of time, and it is implied in
such contrac that the work and ser.
vices shall be performed in q manner
satisfactory to his employers.
In ordinary business aft the
employe is subject to dismissal in the
event that he fails to make good. The
spplica alton Of q similar rule in public
affairs viii appeal to the taxpayers as
q sensible and fair proposition.
It seldom happens that a public
official is so negligent of his duty tina,
his recall would be warranted, but thu
fact that provision exists for such &C
ton by his employers would have
salutary effect. There would be q.
incentive to give more efficient ant
satisfactory service; it would be a con
slant reminder to public officials tina
they havacesponsibilities that shoult
be discharged to the best OF thei
ability.

have been of public benefit, develope
