the appointment of five members to

for the appointment of five members

Lewis Term Held to

as popularity supposed. is the assertion
made by Asst. Atty. Gen. H. A Bron-
son, in an opinion given Gov. Lynn
Frazier.
The opinion that Mr.. Lewis term
expires at that time is based on the
contention that he was not legally ap-
pointed to the six-year term he Ia
serving, It being held that the law for
the six-year terms for board members
was not operative in the 1915 session
Of the legislature, when Mr.. Lewis

problem with which the assembly has
to deal. 1t has been framed by a
commission created by the last legis-
lature. and 1t is the first time that
this plan has been pursued.
In the report the budget commission
will set forth in detail the requests OF
all state departments. institutions
etc., for appropriations, together with
recommendations as to the amounts
that should be granted.
The commission made a complete
study of the situation, most Of the
work being handled by Treadweli
Twichell, chairman OF this house ap-
preparations committee in the 1915
session: Senator Paul Kretchmar,
chairman Of the senate appropria-
tions committee in 1915, and Carl
Jorgenson, the retired state auditor.
It Is a unique situation that con-
fronts the state assembly at the pres
ent time. A third of the session has
passed, and UP to the present time, the
woman suffrage measures are the only
bills that have passed both branches
Of the assembly. They await the

again, will submit the names OF two
men to hold the offices for six years
each; he will submit the name of one
man to hold a four year term, and
he will submit the names of two men
to hold office two years.
This action is taken by reason of
the fact that the first board of re-
gents, as now constituted, has one
member originally named for six
year period, and whose remaining
term is four years. Thus one appoint-
ment is required to fill that position.
The terms OF two other members ex-
pire July I, this year, and the names
Of two men are therefore to be sub
mitted. to serve six year terms. For
the four year term, as originally pro-
mulgated, two men were named.
Their terms would end July 1, 1919,
and Governor Frazier will submit two
names to succeed them
In the interval, until July 1, Gov
ernor Frazier proposes that his board

heads of several important coal COM
