PROPOSE CABINET
TO RUN THE STATE
COM MISSIONS
(By Associated Press)


Sacramento, Feb. 15.-A cabinet
which would be similar in many re-
Spects to that of the federal gov
eminent is outlined in report of
a subcommittee of the Efficiency and
Economy ommission appointed by
Governor William d. Stephens. The
plan contemplates holding of "cab-
met meetings, at which the gov
ernor would preside. In the event
Of adoption, California would be the
first state to use the cabinet plan
of government, it was said.
The III commissions and depart
ments of the state government have
been grouped under the following
eleven departments under this plan:
Legal service, civil service, state de-
Tense, finance, public works, agri-
culture and natural resources, labor,
nealth. education, commerce and pub
lic utilities, and public welfare. The
head of each of these departments
would be member of the governors
cabinet.
The office of secretary of state was
considered custodial office as keen
er of records, and would not be in
Guided my any of these departments.
The program, as outlined, would
result in the elimination of num-
Der of boards and subordinate offices
OF different commissions. 1t would
also involve the amalgamation of a
number of departments.
Bills providing for the creation of
the eleven departments have been in
troduced at the Forty-third session
Of the California legislature, and de-
tails of the plans are being dis
cussed at hearings of advisory COM
mittees in various parts of the state
during the legislative recess which
ends. February "a. Following these
hearings the commission will report
to Governor Stephens and make rec.
concentrations for legislation to
make the plan effective.
