 demands on the treasury.
 q trust the legislature will un-
 derstand this direction in the spirit
 in which it was made.''
 That the legislature, as a whole. does so understand the direction of the gov ernor is evidenced in the fact that inn mediately after luncheon adjournment today, the chairmen of the various com mittees of the house met in formal ses, sion and mapped out course of re- trenchment under which several com mittee clerks, adjudged unnecessary will lose their positions and their $i per day.
 The Sole Difference
 And yet the man who desires may find excuse for any preconceived idea that the governor and the legislature are at dagger points. Accompanying the governors message regarding finance. there came to the legislature this morning a second message urging that body to withhold legislation affecting the Judiciary system until the entire situation can be reviewed by the com nittee in recess. The senate referred the message to the rules committed The house adopted resolution that the governors message be adhered to save III tAc CdSeS Ol DlllS WHICH are preS- ently on the calendar
 This action of the house was taken by some to mean that the teeth had been drawn from the proclamation of the chief executive. By others the action Of the house was construed as an indorse- ment, as far as indorsement could be rendered, to the message of the gov ernor.
 The sole difference between the chief executive and the legislature is to be found in the fact that the former holds that the legislature should act regard ing finances before adjournment, and the latter Is of the opinion that this work cannot be effectively done save in recess and uneventful period. Tha legislature agrees that it is not the function of the governor to provide rev enue for the state. but holds that when the chief executive fails to agree witl, the programme of the legislature, no should have some feasible and practi cable scheme of his own. This scheme if the governor has one has not been made known to the legislature

IF an Investigation is Conducted it
Should Be Thorough in Character

During the past week several methods of conducting
investigation of the cys affairs have been proposed
That such inquiry has become imperative will be de-

method Of the investigation matter of small moment
What is desired is effectiveness 1t does not matter
whether it is conducted by committee Of citizens by
county officials by state authorities The main point
ard the The Journal desires TO entpasfzeis that it

be questioned that all citizens will know exactly the
Of aairswhat has been done By the commissioners and
what has been left undone, and the laws and charter
have been violated, then by whom,
To make investigation of this character effective
and thorough however, it is necessary that the person

oath and demand the production Of documents Without
this power inquiry will be ineffective and incomplete
The Journal has charged and reiterates the charge,
that the city commissioners have squandered the people
money It has charged and repeats every word that
the city is practically bankrupt result of misnanage-
ment and incompetence It believes that the majority Of
citizens who have kept in touch with the disclosures Of the
past week believes these charges The Journal
has touched during the past week only on some the

Under the old councilmaric or ma

city council that gave city really
good government, or value received
for the public taxes paid, and yet
there is almost never protest. It
could do no good if there were, for
the councils are there for a specified
term independent of the people en-

like conduct Of city business without
hardly a rf1urInur-not to mention
such a tremendous eruption as a real

Municipal Overhaulings--


When such newspaper as the
Journal calls for thorough investi-
cation of the business affairs of the
city of Pensacola, and tnumerates
such a list of alleged or suspected
delinquencies on the part Of the city
commissioners as it does, there re-
mains small room for doubt that con-
ditions are far from just right. If
there is much of truth in these sus-
picions then the voters of Pensacola
are to blame, for they must have
chosen unfit men for commissioners.
In a city hike Pensacola that is not
likely. All free governments is q test
of the people, and it viii kehoove the
better citizens Of Pensacola or any
other city in trouble to look better t.
