PROFESSOR MATTHEWS
STRIKES MANY SNAGS
Constitution Bothers Him In
Showing OregOnians How
to Rule Themselves

Another snag has been struck by
Professor J. NJ Matthews, eonsohda-
ton expert, IN connection with the
tentative plan to abolish all the. elect
i've offices, except the offices of gov
ernor, secretary of state and state
treasurer. and make them appointive
by the governor.
Under the terms of the state eonsti-
tuition, Professor Matthews was advis-
ed today in a written opinion from the
office of the attorney general, q law
making the office of superintendent of
public instruction appointive instead
of elective would be unconstitutional.
Two queries were presented to the
attorney general by Professor Mat.
thews as follows
81. Would it ne constitutional for
the Legislature to provide by law that
the superintendent of public instrue-
tion should be appointed by the gov
ernor, with the consent of the senate 7
''2. IF the legislature merely repeal.
ed the present law providing for the
election Of the superintendent by pop
ular vote, would the governor then be-
come superintendent of public instrue-
tion, and if so, could he then, on his
own authority, appoint a deputy to per.
form the duties of the offieeq'
The state constitution provides that
the governor shall be superintendent of
public instruction; but says the legis-
lature is competent to enact law
providing for the election of a super
intendent. The legislature did this
many years ago.
Assistant Attorney General Van
Winkle makes negative reply to the
first question propounded by Professor
Matthews.
"It is clear either the governor is
to act as superintendent of public in
struction, or that the people are to
elect such superintendent, when so pro-
vided by law" says the opinion. 81
therefore must answer your first ques
tiOn in the negative. -
Discussing the second question, As
.sistant Attorney General VanWinkle
says:
"f the legislature should repeal
the statute making the office of the
superintendent of public instruction
separate from that of the governor,
the law remaining being the section
of the. constitution above quoted, it
would Follow that the governor would
be the superintendent of public instruc
tion, according to the terms of said sec
tiOn.
"The Legislature could not abolish
the office but could abolish it as an
office separate and distinct from that
of the governor, the office being ere
ated by the constitution and vested in
the governor when not otherwise pro-
vided by law"
Mr.. Van Winkle then takes up the
question of the governor appointing a
deputy TO run the office, and quotes
various authorities on the subject. He
then says:
From the principles laid down by
these authorities it is clear that depl
uty could not be appointed by the gov
ernor in the absence of statutory au-
thority for such appointment, who
could exercise the discretion required
by the superintendent of public in
struction by the statutes providing for
the duties of that office. The duties

of the superintendent of public in
strueition call for the exercise of his
official discretion and are only minis
terial in minor respects. /"
Some time ago the consolidation
commission encountered a constitutions
al snag when they asked for an opin-
ron of the attorney general as to the
authority of the legislature to create
the office of state auditor. The consti
tuition provides that the secretary of
state shall be state auditor.

Don't let the bedraggled condition

THE gardens damaged by the re-

horticultural department of the agri-

little time, most Of them will pick
up again. For such beds as are
hopelessly damaged / would advise
the making of new beds. AS frost

to 80 the early season will permit
a new crop Of such vegetables as
carrots. turnips, and rutabagas to
mature before freeze-up."
That Fargo war gardeners are not
losing spirit, but are taking up their
gardening work with renewed zest is
shown by the way in which they
