By a Constitutional Amendment ap-
proved. in 1922 and previously adopted
legislation, the State Government
was re-organized, and as a result
there was included in the Executive
Department the following Offices: The
Governor, the Secretary of State, the
Parole Commissioner, the Commits
sioner of the Land Office, the Super
intendent of Public Buildings, the De-
partment of Legislative Reference the
Uniformity of Laws Commission and
the State Library-each of these
offices will be dealt with in order.
The Governor is the Chief Execu-
tive Officer of the State and the Com
mander-in-Chief of the Land and
Naval forces of the State. He has
authority to call out the Militia, when
in his judgment the public interests
require, but he may not personally
take command of the Militia without
permission of the Legislature. It is
his duty to see all laws faithfully ex-
ecuted and for this purpose he may
use the State Militia. He is authorized
to appoint all civil and military offic-
ials of the State, whose appointment
is not otherwise provided for. He may
remove for incompetence any official
of the State who holds his appoint
ment by Executive order. He may
suspend or arrest any Military Officer
Of the State for disobedience or other
military offense.
He has authority to convene the
Legislature in extraordinary session,
and if the public safety require, may
direct its sessions to be held at some
place other than the State Capitol.
He is required to approve or veto all
Acts passed by the Legislature. An
Act, if disapproved by him, may be
passed only by three-ffths majority
of each house of the Legislature. Any
Act not approved or vetoed within
six days after its receipt by the Gov
ernor, automatically becomes a law
of the State.
1t is his duty twice each year to ex-
anime the State Treasurer and State
Comptroller on all matters pertaining
to their respective offices and to in
spect and review their bank accounts
and other books of account and re-
cords. He is expected to inform the

An encouraging outlook in our econo-
mic life is the back to-the-D land move,
ment going on in st. Croix. And wha.s
is indeed surprising is the desire of Amer
leans to come here and settle on home
sttads. The ST. Croix Homestead Com
mission has received numerous aDDica-
.tions sfrom Americans in the United
States who would like to obtain home
sreads on the island. A delegate from
Puerto Rico came here recently TO seek
land and homes for an entire colony of
Puerto ,Rican farmers.
Naturally the needs of the people al
ready on the island must be first con.
sidered and they are just as anxious TO
90 tosthe land as the people on the out
side are to come in and take it.
This desire to live on the farm and to
develop it are not confined to the pea
santry. Our homesteaders include many
city jewellers who are making good in
their new line of occupation
In spite of the ever-threatening
drought and its serious consequences
the people are not afraid to invest in
the land. Engineer V. Frederiksen of
the Central Sugar Factory is cultivating

desire for land today that the experience
of others does not deter Mr.. Mckenzie.
With the land soon to be acquired by the
United States Government there should
be adequate area to satisfy all the land
hungry citizens and,we know of no bet
ter way of helping the citizens of st.
Croix than by giving them the oppor-
tunity to acquire land on easy terms of
payment.
