Discussing the Efficiency of the Executive Department before ths Arkansas State Bar Association Gt Hot Springs in annual convention, ani recognizing that within that body would be many of the leaders of the Arkansas constitutional convention, which will frame a new constitution for this state in the fall, Gov. Charles Hillman Brough presented some point ed suggestions to that body in line of the needs that should be covered when the new constitution is framed
 Eight points in particular were GOV cred in the address, the first being that by all means the terms of the state officers should be heightened from two years to four years. and that no official should be permitted to sue ceed himself in office
 With this done" said the govern or. the officials could devote the whole of their time and ability to con structiye work rather than in being forced so soon after getting into of flee to paving the way for the re-elec. tion that is looked forward to with such enthusiasm"
 The policy of the state Of Maryland in requiring the governor. the state treasurer. and the state auditor. as d board. to prepare budget 30 days in and giving the legislature the right to reduce. but not 10 increase, the figures i'll such a budget was favored in an other recommendation.
 Hundreds of thousands of dollars would be saved to Arkansas taxpay CTS" said Gov Brough. through the appointment or selection of state purchasing agent in connection with all of our educational and charitable institutions. similar to the authority granted in Kansas. This purchasing agent should buy uniform qualities of goods on the basis of competitive bids for institutions of similar character.
 Under the conditions that now ex- ist." said Gov Trough. the governor of the state is held responsible in the eyes of the people for every branch of the state administration under his tenure. yet he has absolutely no au. thority over any of the branches that are SO important 10 the success of that adminjstrat ion"
 On the subject of pardons. Gov. Trough recommended that the consti tutional convention create an advis- ory pardon board by adding one mem. her from each of the congressional districts of the state He declared that 75 per cent of the time of th" chief executive was now absorbed in attention to appeals for executive clemency.
