Coming into power under an ,
absolute pledge Of strict econ
omy, the Democratic party has
been wholly needless in its ex-
travagance. II the tariff for
revenue only had not been en-
acted, the treasury would not
now BE depleted. II the Dem
ocratic party had been eco
nomical, there would be no ne
cessity Of raising 5000 900.
Unfortunately, however, there
has been no attempt at econ
omy, and none OF the policies
OF the Democratic party has
been designed to build up, @

Morris tribune., 1914-10-30

The presiding officer of the state
senate, though he has no vote, occu-
pies strategic position and through
the authority which is given him to
appoint committees can exercise great
influence in the shaping of legislation.
1t thus happens that the lieutenant
governor may be great power in the
state.
1t depends on the man.
Lieutenant Governor ]. A. A. Burn
quist has shown what can be accom-
plished in such a position.
To expedite business he first Sc
cured the reduction in the number of
committees, eliminating the unimpor-
tant ones, combining some and chang
ing the names Of others. BY employing
tact and rare judgment in the ap-
pointment of the standing committees
and subsequently in the appointment
of conference committees, he was
largely instrumental in securing the
passage by the senate of large mum
Der of excellent measures.
Throughout the session the lieu
tenant governor kept a watchful eye
on senate expenditures and labored
for economy. For years it had beer
the custom to authorize the purchase
of supplies without limit as to amount
A resolution to this effect was intro
duced at the beginning of the 1915
session. Through Burnquist's efforts
this resolution was so amended as
to provide for the purchase of only
temporary supplies His COMMITTEES
on rules subsequently provided tina
the purchase of all other supplies
must be approved by that commit
tee. This had the effect of reducing
senate expenditures considerably.
Other examples of his saving none!
for the state were furnished by hi
opposition to the payment Of exorbit
ant bills. By refusing to sign the or
ders for the payment of such bills, hi
compelled their reduction to reason
| able amounts.
