we examine the actual results in the
only two states which have tried this
code? Is it not time for Colorado to
afford to experiment on q new system
an elective monarchy and at q time
when Nebraska, which has tried it for
four years, considers it a failure and
has demanded its repeal?
|, There is one other point that wish
to mention in conclusion and a very
important point. In Illinois the gov
ernor is elected for four years and
they have no civil service to interfere
with the proper functioning Of ap-
pointees, and it therefore gives him
time to train his men to work out
what might be called a managerial
form Of government In Colorado we
elect q governor, those who do not
come under constitutional provision
will come under the provision Of the
civil service, under the code rs it would
operate in Colorado and we would have
q condition where, after the first cabi-
net had been appointed by the govern
or, they would hold indefinitely under
the civil service law, and the governor
who would follow would find himself
with . cabinet which were neither re
sponsible to him nor to any elective
officer nor IN fact to the people - .

government.
