STATE ENTITLED
TO FAIR TRIAL OF
new CODE LAW
Governor Discusses Civil Ad-
ministrative Statute Before
Eclectic Medical Associa-
ton; Grave Doubt.

Lincoln, May l4.-In his remarks
at the annual convention of the
Electric Medical association, Gov
ernor McKelvie discussed the civil
administration code, and after ex-
planning hat it was not revolu-
tionary idea, the principle of con-
solidation of departments having
been approved by at least the last
two governors preceding him.
Under the department of well
fare. there is consolidated the sub
jects that are properly related to
such I department, namely, health,
with special reference to SON.
tagious and communicable diseases
aad sanitation; examing boards that
have charge of the certification of
individuals for all branches of the
raedical and pharmaceutical pro-
f.ssions, vital statistics, maternity
homes, child welfare, charities and
corrections, pardons and paroles"
said the governor. This console
dation eliminates the state board Of
health as it is now constituted, and
the board of pardons and paroles,
and places the duties of the two
boards in charge of the secretary
Of the department of welfare. The
examining boards are continued
substantially as they have been in
the past.
~ ou have no doubt noted by news
paper reports that movement is
under way to hold up the operation
Of the code by invoking the refer
endum. Without seeking to queS
ton the integrity of purpose of
those who are in charge Of circu-
lating the referendum petitions, it
must be borne in mind, of course,
that the people will want to know
the sources from which they re-
ceive their stimulus and financial
support.
"Also, there is undoubtedly in the
minds of the people a very grave
doubt as to wisdom Of using the
referendum to delay the operation
Of legislation that was brought to
the attention of the people end dis
cussed prioy' to the general election,
and was enacted after very careful
consideration at the hands Of the
legislature.
"a plan of business administra-
ton for public business, such as is
provided for in the code, is worthy
of a trial before it is condemned.
Other states have approved it and
have accepted it as a great boon,
i and there is no good reason why
the referendum should be invoked
ITO deprive Nebraska of putting into
Sfult operation plan. Of business
