A State Commission.

An editorial recently appeared in
these columns calling attention to
the fact that Governor Hodges, of 1
Kansas, had advocated a comm isssion
plan of government for that state.
Yesterday, a bill was introduced into
the Minnesota house which would |
provide for such a commission. 1t is
backed by Speaker Rines and is the
joint work Of the speaker, W. |. No
Ian, his floor leader, and Henry Pless.
The bill provides for submission to
the people of the state Of a constitu-
tional amendment creating a state
executive department to consist of a
governor, lieutenant governor, audi
tor and four commissioners, and pro-
viding that the governor and the four
commissioners shall make up the
state commission and have general
me1lts of the state
Under the proposed amendment,
the terms of the governor and lieu
tenant governor would be two years, |
while those of the four commission
ers and the auditor would be four
years. The state auditor is made the
accounting and auditing officer of
the state.
The bill provides that the commits
sion, consisting Of the governor and
four commissioners, shall have power
to appoint all officers provided by the
law or constitution and to fill all va

and a commissio ner would head each
division. The naming of the divis-
ions is left to the legislature, but it
is provided in the bill that one of the
divisions shall have custody of the
state schools and the other lands. The
commission would constitute the
state investment board. =.
Details of the commission plan are
left to the legislature, the proposed
amendment carrying a provision that
the Legislature may. adopt "appropri-
ate" laws to carry out the general
plan.
