CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES.

Numerous changes to the constitu-
tion Of Vermont have been suggested
in the public press but few of them are
of radical nature. 1t is proper and
possibly desirable to suggest a further
change. Might it not be better for the
state to have fewer elective officers?
Under the present constitution the peo-
pie of the state elect governor. lieu
tenant governor, secretary of state,
auditor of accounts. state treasurer and
an attorney general, six in ALL The
people desire more economy and more
efficiency in their state administration
but do not place the administrative
duties of the government on any sin
gle individual but in the hands of five
separate individuals, each with equal
authority from the public The govern
or, the nominal head of the administra
ton, has no voice in the choice of the
heads of four other departments of the
administration, therefore no real pow
Ter to make them efficient or satisfac-
tory. He cannot remove one of these
officials if they prove inefficient or neg
lectful of their duties As result he
cannot be held responsible for the gov
eminent
Might not the state have more res
ponsible government if it should place
the responsibility on fewer officers Z
Suppose the people should elect a gov
ernor, a lieutenant governor and an au.
ditor and allow the governor to select
the secretary of state, state treasurer
and attorney general and hold him res
ponsible for their service. With this in.
creased authority he would have great
er responsibility and could be held
more strictly accountable by the PEG
pie. The governor alone would have
the executive powers of the government
and the auditor elected by the people
could protect the public from fraudulent
use of its funds Then any wrong in tbe
government could be placed on one of
these two officials. Wouldn t the tend
ency be to have better fitted people ir
the subordinate offices of secretary of
state, treasurer and attorney general2
There has been, we understand. some
! friction because the board of control has
attempted to limit and regulate expens
es of one of these officials, he claiming
he was elected by the people and indie.
, pendent of the board of control. This
change would make such claims in the
future impossible because this official
would be subordinate to the governor
and under his control.
There is much more to be said on
the question but our purpose at this
time is simply to suggest the change
for consideration by the public and
the commission to recommend change.
