SPECULATE on APPOINTMENT
Governor Haines May Name BIOmquist
For the Long Term on Utilities
Board

Boise News: The resignation OF
Judge Standrod as a member of the
public utilities commission, while not
entirely unexpected, came somewhat
of a surprise at this time, and specula-
ton is now rife as to who will be his
successor. The commission as it
stands today still has majority mem
bership left The two remaining mem
bers are John A. Blomquist, president,
and AXel P. Ramstedt. The latter is.
besides being member of the public
utilities commission, chairman of the
state tax commission of which Com
missioner Blomquist is also mem
Der.
That Governor Haines intends to fill
the vacancy is well known. The pro-
posal has been made and is reaching
with some little approval that Presi-
dent Blomquist, who holds the short or
two-year appointment on the commits
sion, be appointed to succeed Judge
Standrod This would, of course, me-
cessitate the resignation of Commits
sioner Blomquist as member of the
commission and his appointment to
succeed Standrod would Immediately
follow. This would give the present
president of the commission four more
years in which to serve. At the pres
ent time he is holding the short term,
which expires early next year. Those
who are interested in the work of the
commission believe that with the two
years experience he has already had as
a member of that body his services will
be of greater value to the state in the
future. In the event the present va
cancy on the commission is filled IN
this manner, the appointment left to be
made would be for the short term
The prediction attacks made on
the commission made its existence in
the future an issue second in import
ance to no other that comes before
the hew legislature, it is said. For
years a fight was made to secure it's
and the act crectin" it
two years ago was only passed after a
bitter contest. Those who made the .
fight for the commission will it is I'M !,
lerstood, demand that nothing be done
when the next law-making body con-
venes to defeat the ends for which it
vas created.
The appointment of a new commits
;ioner and the attitude of the govern
project and the new legislature to-
wards the commission is being watch
