WHY DODGE RESPONSIBILITY

WHY DODGE RESPONSIBILITY
Why there should be much opposition a repeal of
the Board of Managers Act on the part of the Cass county
press and its delegation is apparent unless is to bring
about the old division in the state and excite the factions
to increased bitterness The only to appease Cass
county to give the institutions and politicians located
there about IS cent Of the patronage and the approra
tons. The Forum has openly charged Gov Sore with in
timidating legislators by threatening to hold up appropra
against Cass county getting it's usual lions share of the
public pap. Of that would be "ese majesty the
part of Gov Sore but The Tribune does not believe that
Gov. Sorlie has done anything of the kind
1t becomes and more apparent that Gov. Sore is
his and seeking to do the best he for all the people
OF the state There some persons in Cass county who
seek dictate the policies of the entire state and who
farther than the boundaries of impera Cass Their
spokesman in the house reenessy opposed to
dture of public funds unless Cass gets three dollars to
every other dollar spent elsewhere Gov Sore evidently
to CLEAN from the columns of the Cass county not
impressed he should be with the claims of the Cass county
hencemen.
Getting back to two points. First there good
why the Board of Managers Act should not be repealed
1t never should have been passed The people elected
industrial commission to handle the affairs of state
owned industries They went into office with direct
date from the people and directly responsible to the
people, This should have been delegated to
appoinve board Past results show that it not good
legislation There too commissions and boards
now enabling officials to pass the buck
The l. v A. organization is much committed to mills
and elevators as the league 1t the recall by whoopne
for the state owned industries and Cass County Leader
Twichel the front ranks waving the banners and
shouting as Justify as any Of them
Now for another point The Tribune reiterates that it
does not believe Gov Soe has sought to fost any
upon the legislators through threats intimidation If he
has the constitution specific the point The Cass
county press which in its columns has been openly
charging such coercion might read the following section
if the coercion gets too warm for the Cass county dele
have remedy at law for the presumptuousness
of the chief executive:
Sec. 81. Any governor of this state who asks, re-
standing that his official opinion Judgment or action
shall be influenced thereby, who gives offers
promises his official influence in consideration that
any member OF the legislative assembly shall give his
official vote or influence particular side of
question or matter upon which he may be required to
act in his official capacity, who menaces any mem
Der by the threatened of his veto power or who
offers promises any member that he, the said gov
ernor will appoint any particular person or persons to
any office thereafter to be created in consid
GRAFTON that any member shall give his official vote
influence on any matter pending or thereafter to be
bly,, or who threatens any members that he the said
governor will remove from office
action of said member shall be punished in the
now or that may hereafter be provided by law, and
upon conviction thereof shall forfeit all right to hold
exercise office of trust honor in this state
While Gov Sorlie has perfect right chief executive
through legitimate to seek the adoption Of his
any threats coercion in violation of his constitutional
tatons his Cass county opponents to the contrary.
If some of the press accounts are to be believed Of Gov
orlies attitude toward the legislature he is seeno 10 do
what the constitution specifically prohibits.
The Tribune does not share in that opinion and thinks
some OF it is propaganda tempered with desire
dictate the executives position certain issues in which
he is not in complete agreement
In passing this paper holds brief for the league or
the proposed industrial but believes in square
deal and the telling of the much Byron has express
ed it:
Without with offence
To friends or foes
sketch your world
Exactly as it goes"
Some of the old l. v A. leaders in the house who swa-
lowed socialism to win election merely reapfng their
just rewards for taking inconsistent and compromising
position
They must extricae themselves some day but they can
hardly make Gov Sorie the goat for he belongs the
lion that honestly believes in the things that the " A. for
