Names Have Not Been Confirmed
And May Not Be Sent In
By New Executive.

Frankfort, KY While the name
of most of the Democrats holdin
political appointments at the Cap
L tai will be stricken from the payro
d after Governor-elect Edwin P. MOI
row takes his oath of office, Decem
Der 8, there will be number Of De
!. mocrats who will continue to hol
office all the way from a few month
to several years.
Interest settles on the State Boar,
of Control and the State Tax Com
mission, a non-partisan commission
the members of which were appoint
ed under the Democratic administra
ton but have not been confirmed BY
the Senate.
i j. A. Scott, Republican, of Pike
vile, chairman of the Tax Commits
sion, has just served two years of a
four-year term. Ben D. Ringo,
Owensboro, Democrat, was appoint
ed for four years only last August.
The other seat with the commission
is vacant and has been since last
July.
The same is true with regard to
the Board of Control of Charitable
and penal institutions.
The members were appointed I'M
der an act of the 1918 Legislature,
combining the Board of Control and
the Prison Commission, and the
terms ranged from two to four years.
None of the appointments, though,
has been confirmed.
Appointments under the Tax Com |
mission are for an indefinite length
of time. Prison guards, named by
the Board of Control, are appointed
for four years and many Democrats
will continue for some time under
the Morrow administration.
