PROPOSED CHANGE

In Principle.
ABOL1sHEs COMMISSIONS

The contemplated reorganization or
the state government embodied in
the civil administrative code was ex-
planned yesterday in detail by l., ID.
McArdle. a member of the staff or
the bureau of inspection, who is gen
orally known as the founder OF the
code. Shortly after convening yester"
dav noon, the House went into the
committee of the whole for discus
sion of House Bill No. i. as the bill
is technically known. Speaker Guie
relinauisheed the chair to Pliny Allen
who, upon motion by Reed Of Mason
county, invited Mr.. McArdle, Attor-
ney General Thompson, and Charles
Gleason to the rostrum.
The civil administrative code had
been authorized by the preceding
legislature. according to McArdle, and
It had instructed the governor. with
the assistance of the attorney general
to draft a code making provision for
economy and efficiency in the state
government Governor Hart had
called in MIR. McArdle to help him in
formulating the code. Especial care
had been taken to avoid advising
changes which would require consti-
tutional amendment. All the pro-
visions OF the code are limited to
legislative action since all the offices
boards, and commissions affected
we're created by legislative action
The Insurance Department and the
Department Of Education had been
purposely omitted from the code, the
former because of its technical func'
ton. and the latter because its re-
organization was under consideration
in separate report.
Nine Executive Committees.
The bill provides for the creation
of nine administrative committees tc
be composed of the elective officers
OF the state government, and Mr.. Nc
Ardle in his opening remarks stated
that he had always insisted that pub
lie officials, should as far as possible
be elected by direct vote Of the people
The governor, he said, had suggested
that he be shorn OF as much power as
possible, because even with his duties
cut to the minimum he still had
more work to do than should fall tc
the lot Of any one man. The nine
committees provided are: equaliza'
tion finance, highway, capitol. ar
chives, parks, voting machine. law
library, and library.

Why all this secrecy about this bill
which proposes far-sweeping change
in our state government? Some per-
sons in favorable positions have
known the contents Of the bill,

down in your heart, to give the people
