WADE, Justice
(concurring).
I concur with the main opinion, but think it desirable to point out that in certain instances in the past Examiners, Finance and/or the Governor have, by arbitrary *236actions, and contrary to the law as set forth in the opinion, infringed upon' the prerogatives of- the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Board of Education by unjustifiably interfering in their functions. A long list of such grievances are complained of. I set out but a few by way of example:
(a) Arbitrarily reduced the moneys appropriated to -Weber College for fiscal 1953-54 by $79,027.91.
(b) Refused to make available to U.S. A.C. (now U.S.U.) $20,000.00 which had been appropriated and designated as a research fund.
(c) In April, 1953, reduced the appropriation to Weber College by $5,000.00 on the day the fund was expendable.
(d) Arbitrarily refused to approve numerous salary changes proposed by Education ,for administrative and supervisory personnel.
