GditoriaIIy Speaking

A bill has been introduced in the
Idaho legislature on behalf of the
administration which would give to
the governor power to remove from
office sheriffs and county attorneys
who fail to enforce the prohibition
law. Governor Alexander claims that
bootlegging is in progress in some
counties the officers of which are
negligent in enforcing the law
against the violaters. To stop this
practice and force the officers to
act is the ostensible purpose of the
bill.
On the face of it, the proposed
measure might appear to be a bene-
ficial one. Bootlegging ought to be
stopped and negligent officers should
be forced to perform their duty.
The people of Idaho have declared
against the saloon and will not toll
crate a continuance of the evil in the
form of bootlegging. If an officer
will not act, then force him out of
office.
However, provision is already
made for accomplishing this. Sec
ton 745S, Revised Code of Idaho,
designates the manner in which
county attorney and other officers
may be removed from office when
negligent in performing their duty.
This power is vested in the courts
and it is claimed by those who OPP
pose the proposed measure that to
place such authority in the hands
of the executive would be to give
the executive judicial power, which
is repugnant to the state constitu-
ton. Be that as it may, we are
not finicky over these technical
/ - of h
way to secure enforcement of the
law, we would favor giving the ex-
ecutive the power asked for, but
the law already provides for such
action.
The danger in enacting such a
measure is that it would place too
great power in the governors hands.
Possessed by a conscientious and
honest executive, it probably would
do no harm. but such power in the
hands of political demagogue
could work untold harm. 1t has
been remarked by those opposing the
measure that if our present Nose"
possessed such power, with his
stronge partizan convictions, he
would soon find reason why most
republican officers should be re-
moved while the democratic ones
would remain unulSlufDeu III Olllce
In short, the act in the hands of a
cheap politician would give him OPP
portunity to do great mischief by
building up a powerful and cor
rupt political machine.
The question is, is the evil to be
corrected serious enough to justify
delegating to the executive so great
1 power, a power that might be USED
= to accomplish much mischief anc
subvert good government? On the
} other hand, good government re-
t uuires that the officer who allows
h. the bootlegger to flourish must be
= replaced by a more faithful official
