Administrative Code.

Recognized as the most sweeping
administrative bill ever introduced in
the state, Governor Harris administra
tive code bill is before the house OF
representatives and will be pushed to
immediate consideration.
The bill provides for cabinet form
of state government of 10 departments
following the Lowden plant of Him
OILS. The governor is directly and
indirectly in supreme control and I'M
der the system will be responsible and
will receive credit or blame for sue
cessful or unpopular administration.
The chief objection to the proposed
code is that it enables the governor
to build up the most powerful ma
chine ever known in the state. Heads
OF the 10 departments will be ap-
pointed by the governor, with salaries
ranging from $4,000 to $500.
Officers of the state are stripped
OF practically all their powers and
duties not specifically granted them
under the constitution The governor
can name an elective as head of any
department, giving him in this way
additional compensation not to ex-
coed total of $500. In this way the
elective officer, if he is favored by
the governor, can have the increased
salaries all have been clamoring for.
