Bad as was the Jackson govern

Of the office Of Governor would have
resembled nothing more nor less
than burlesque.
There have been, however, in the
past, great Lieutenant Governors

word.
The outstanding examples are
Oliver p Morton, the great Civil
war Governor, who was Governor
Henry S. Lanes running mate; Paris
G. Dunning, Conrad Baker, Isaac P.
Gray and Ira J. Chase. All stepped
from presiding over the senate to
the Governors Office, and all were
great men.
Could the same be said of Van

BY BEN STERN

DROBABLY the most unimpor-
Il tant candidate on political
ticket, as far as pay and patronage
go, is the Lieutenant Governor.
At least, that is the opinion of
the party heads. Rarely is much
selectivity exercised in choosing the
second highest official of the state.
Usually the period of nominating
this figure on the ticket is used as
a recess after the fierce battles for
the senatorial and gubernatorial
nominations in order to regain vi
tality for the contests for secretary
Of state and other Offices.
n
The public impression concerning
this Office is hazy in the extreme.
A Lieutenant Governor does not
merely sit around waiting for death
or some other act of fate to re-
move the Governor so that he can
step into the post, as many suppose.
To the contrary, the duties are
vitality important to the welfare of
the state, as the Lieutenant Gov
ernor presides over the senate and
appoints the personnel and chair
men of the various committees.
1t is of the utmost Importance
that this official be both honest
and capable, for, if he is not, shake
down bills galore and class legis-
lation Of every type and description
will be passed, to the i'll effect Of the
public.
The kind of Lieutenant Governor
we have is directly reflected in the
sort Of legislation passed and party
leaders are awakening to a realiza-
of this.
Experience of the last eight years
should, by now. have impressed
deeply upon the consciousness of
the people of Indiana the need for
outstanding men in this important
post.
In this period now drawing to a
close we have had a mountebank.

SCHOOL BUDGET
CUTS URGENT,
SAYS C. OF C.
Book Answers Criticism
With Suggestions for
Pairing Expense.

Cutting of the school year to eight
months and closing of branch libra
ries are two suggestions received by
the Chamber of Commerce for re-
ducing the Indianapolis school city
le3l-1932 budget.
These two methods are included
in an answer to the school boards
criticism of Chamber of Commerce
budget reduction suggestions writ
ten by William H. Book, secretary
Of the civic affairs committee Of the
Chamber of Commerce.
No concrete suggestion regarding
the curtailing of the school year are
contained in the answer, however.
Calls Reduction Urgent
Pointing out that the position of
The chamber with regard to all 10
cal budgets, not that of the school
city alone, simply is that an unprec-
edenttd economic situation makes
urgent a. reduction in local taxes"
Books statement says.
Although declaring that the COM
mittee recommended no immediate
cuts in teachers salaries, the answer
quotes a business man as follows
1T is decidedly unfair that public
salaries should continue on the old
basis when every one engaged in
private enterprise has suffered re-
duction in income. 1t is the opinion
Of most taxpayers that the tax rates
will not be reduced appreciably until
the pay roll is slashed"
Regarding restriction of free
kindergartens, which the school
board said could not be done legally,
Book cited an Indiana statute I'M
der which, he contends, these ap-
preparations could be slashed.
Defends Tech Action
He urged use for operating ex-
penses of $275,000 the board put in
the sinking fund June 80, which
the commissioners had approved be-
cause 1t would be unbuSinesslike.
Book said that heretofore the sink
ing fund deposit has been made an
nually Dec. 81, instead of semi-an-
nually, and that deposit of this cash
into the sinking fund. was an I'M
precedented diversion of cash on
hand.
He defended abolition of the day
vocational school for adults at Ar
senal Technical high school from
the charge of the school board that
with such abolition the grounds
would revert to the government,
and again urged reduction of the
proposed $4,000 maintenance fund
on grounds that that amount under
depression prices would be 25 per
cent more effective than in previous
years.
