STATE GOVERNMENT CHANGES
Ex-senator SAKE Comments on Ex-
Secretary Stimson's Recommendations

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The reported recommendations
Of ex-Secretary of War Stimson in re-
lation to changes in our state govern
ment, and particularly with reference
20 our legislative system, are of great
import and interest. From an expert
ence in the State Senate | am impelled
to comment upon them.
As to the "short ballot plan. |
think most everybody is agreed. But
with respect to giving to the Governor
the right TO introduce bills and sup
port them on the floor Of the legislative
houses, and empowering the Governor,
instead of the Assembly, TO prepare
and introduce the annual budget, and
requiring him to answer, at stated
times, on the floor of the houses in
terpellations addressed to him by mem
bers of the Legislature, there is
wide field for divergence of opinion.
In the first place. many Of US still be-
lieve in the division of governmental
powers and are not yet satisfied, by
any means, that the time has come for
beginning the breaking down of the
lines. Let us consider some modifica-
tions which will tend to produce the
desirable results sought by Mr.. Slim
son and still preserve the integrity of
our present system.
The idea of state budget is ex-
cellent, but let it be made up in the
Assembly by a committee on the bud
get, composed of the administrative
heads of departments, who shall have
-, ~ L..
right TO introduce bills, and, whenever
required by il, attend its meeting;
answer questions put TO them by any
member relating TO departmental af-
fairs, provided reasonable notice of the
questions TO be put is given. Depart
ment heads to have the right to the
floor in the Assembly, but no right to
vote. The Legislature to be permitted
to cut down the appropriation recon-
mendations of the budget committee,
but not 20 raise them. Section 20 OF
the Greater New York Charter contains
such provisions for the heads of the
administrative departments of the city
government in the makeup of the
Board of Aldermen.
BY providing, further, that no bill
shall pass both houses, unless accom-
panied by an emergency message from
the Governor, until the budget had
passed, a plan for accelerating legis-
lative action in this particular is pro-
vided. While the budget is being acted
upon. deferred calendar Of bills for
final passage in both houses would
take care of pending legislation.
By giving TO the administrative
heads OF departments the right 10 in
troduce bills the Governor could &C
compllsh his legislative efforts as we'll
as if he had the right of introduction
himself, and such bills would, of
course, be known as administrative
measures; further, the Governors
arguments in support of administra-
tive measures could be made by the
department heads, and ensuing de-
bates would in no way detraet from
the dignity of the Executive, which
might not be the case in event the
Executive himself were called upon TO
take the floor in person.
The foregoing suggestions would
give the Executive all the necessary
opportunity 10 advance legislation
without playing favorites or creating

AGREEING WITH JUNE MCREE.

Can Dulcy please you all?' You never ask,
But find wanton pleasure in your task
OF printing what the creature has to say,
No matter if you know the answers Nay
The poor thing drives one to the whiskey flask
AS water ever floats empty cask,
So she supports a literary rasc-
AL Some queer folks, like that chap +. T. A.,
Can Dulcy please.
On Saturday will Dulcy sit and bask,
And never give a thought to old John Trask,
But say the cutest things. II is her way.
But. gosh! You know we get her every day.
She loves to see Chief Meyers in a mask

n. Katz TO Quit

Hiram Katz, a resident of Idaho
for nearly quarter of a century and
a merchant of Emmett for 13 years,
is compelled by failing eyesight to
retire from business, and he will sell
out his stock at an early date. Mr..
Katz came to Emmett in 1892, and
for a number of years ran a peddler's
wagon through the Boise basin and
other mining districts of Idaho. He
started in business in this city in 1901
and has been active sincec that time.
A cataract has nearly destroyed the
sight of one eye and a delicate sur
gical operation will be necessary to
relieve him. Accordingly, he has de-
cided to retire from business. Mr..
Katz, regarded as eccentric in many
WAYS, has ALWAYS been good citizen
and booster for Emmett. He never
failed to contribute to any worthy
cause. In his business dealings he
has been always the soul of honor.
He and his store are landmarks of
the pioneer days, and the last to give
way to modern methods.

The lecture course committee or
ganized Monday morning in CONNER
cial club rooms. Geo. D. Knipe was
reelected president and manager; DR..
R. E. Rose was elected secretary and
V. t. Craig, treasurer.
1t was decided to hold the entertain
ments in the Methodist church The
price of course tickets was reduced
from $3.50 to $500. Single admis-
sion tickets win be rs cents.
A change in the manner of reserved
seat drawing was made. The method
used in former years was entirely
done away with and seats will be
drawn at the door on the night of
each performance. Seat numbers. in
pairs and single, will be placed in
boxes and holders of season tickets
will draw a card from one of the
boxes, and the numbers on the card
will be their seats for that evening,
The two center blocks of seats-S00
in number-will be reserved. Seats
behind pillars will not be sold. Thus,
every seat win be good one. The
committee hopes to sell 500 tickets.
AS the cost of the course is $500, this
will pay for the course, and the single
admissions Will, it is expected, take
care of the local expenses.
Each committeeman viii have
tickets to sell, and they will also be
on sale at the B. B. Davis drug store
The sale of season tickets will be
limited to 300, and owing to the re-
duced price-40 cents number
they will GO fast. So don't delay TOO
long in making your purchases, The
sale will commence next week
