Tile Most Important

1t has happened five times In the
history of the United States that
the vice president has succeeded t.

He is authorized (and no other
cabinet officer isl to negotiate with
foreign governments in the name
of the president. 1t is the duty Of
the secretary Of state to supervise
the publication of all laws, treaties
and proolamations.
The salary of each cabinet officer
is $4,000 per year, a small sum
when one considers the importance
of the offices to be filled and the
experience and skill necessary to fill
them properly. 1t has been urged
that the services of cabinet officers
would be of. greater value to the
government if they were given
seats in congress This would tend
to loosen the restrictions by which
the officers are Bound
1t must be remembered that the
nine executive departments of our
government We're created by acts
of congress; that the bringing to-

tute a new organization, advisory
to the president. is sanctioned
neither by the constitution nor by

The members of the cabinet meet

the work of the departments to the
president and to discuss with him
all matters of government business

known as cabinet meetings. They
constitute a department of govern
ment work not provided for in the
constitution.
No record of the cabinet meetings
is made, and the public is not in
formed of what takes place at them.
In fact, the cabinet has no legal
existence, in a strict sense. 1t is
merely an advisory body. The
president may, or may not follow
the advice of the cabinet members.
Their duty is to consult with him
and to offer such advice as seems
to them pertinent. The duty of the
president is to make up his own
