SATURDAY., JANUARY 6. 1917.
GOV. DUMMIES SUGGESTIONS.

The two greatest burdens of a gov.
easements he meets in enforcing the
civil service law and in appointing
persons to Office" and the difficulties
he meets in "the overwhelming num-
Der of applications for release from
punishment presented to him by con.
victs and their friends"
This was the statement made by
Gov. Dunno, retiring chief executive
of Illinois, in talk on intimate i'm.
pressions of the governorship.
The governor also said he favored
making the offices of secretary of
state, attorney general and state
treasurer appointive instead of cleo.
tive.
ION the eve of my leaving the ex.
allied position of governor of the State
Of Illinois. am asked to give my i'm.
pressions in relation to that great Of.
fice." said Gov. Dunno.
1T is the position of greatest dig
nifty, honor and responsibility in the
state. The governor of Illinois is the
supreme executive Of 100000 people.
while II Is position of exalted
dignity, 1t Is also one calling for in
cessant industry. The popular impress.
sion is that the position is also one
of almost unlimited power and au-
thority In the enforcement of the law.
The popular impression, however. Is
n mistake. The constitution and the
laws OF the state place many material
limitations upon the power of the gov
ernor."
Gov Dunno showed that enforce
ment of law lies in the hands of local
authorities. Local assessors make the
assessment of taxes, county treasurers
collect the taxes, sheriffs execute the
writs of the courts and preserve the
peace, he declared.
Another popular misconception con-
corning the power of the governor is
In the nature of appointment to Office, y
continued Gov. Dunno. "The govern

under civil service by appointment
than the humblest citizen in the state
These positions are filled by the state
civil service commission after exam
nations are held to test the qualifi
cations of the applicants for the po
sitions which they are seeking to
enjoy.
There are probably between 5000
and 1000 citizens holding public pc
sltions under the one character, but
very small percentage of which pc
sitions are filled by appointment by
the governor"
