SOME BOARDS USELESS
BUT ABOLITION SHOULD BIZ MADE
WITH CAUTION SAYS COVER
NOR WEST.

Governor West does not take much
stock in the proposed abolishing or con-
solidating of boards and commissions
as proposed by some of the candidates
for office, for the reason that the sug-
gestions are made without the parties
understanding the affairs which they
would change. The consequence is that
some Of the proposed changes would be
bad. The governor has been looking
into the matter, and agrees with the
general public in the belief that these
should be done away with. While he
has not perfected plan for this he
outlined in q general way what he
thought should be done.
He suggested, after calling attention
to several mistakes in Candidate Car
ter's platform on this subject, that the
desert land board should be abolished,
and its duties taken over by the state
land board.
Abolish the office Of state engineer
and have the secretary of the land
board a qualified engineer, and leave
the number Of commissioners at two,
with q provision of calling in some
state officer in case the two could not
agree. The secretary to perform the
work OF the state engineer. The state
livestock and sanitary board to be abol.
ished, and its duties performed by the
state veterinarian. These boards with
the water board, had an appropriation
Of $4,000 for the biennial period and
