view News.
The., News is e vroot In sup-
posing that the governor will be
held responsible lor the great
raise in 'tax rates made thiijj
year, but incorrect when it say*
he is not greatly to blame. The'
fact is that he is wry greatly to
blame. Of coarse, the apimopri
ation bills are always made* up
and passed by th>» legislature
under the known policy of the ad
ministration, but the*e bills, are
always itemised in detail to meet
every want apd need of every
department tite-atate. It is
not only the governor's privilege,
but is the sworn duty of that
official to scrutinize every
in these balls and where the
ditiouB justify it to veto and
cel out the item. There is no sort
of doubt that the governor could
have blue penciled two milium
dollars from the appropriation
bill just passed without crippling
a single state institution. Every
member 'of the legislature, even
the most extravagant of the bunch
expected this to be done. Every
institution in the state expected
to be trimiped down by the gov-
ernor, and they nearly fell dead
with surprise when the bill was
signed in toto. It was the first
time it has happened in a half
century and will perhaps be the
last time. The trouble is that
the governor was surrounded and
beaeiged By the tax eaters and
did not give sufficient considera-
tion to the tax payers. JJany of
tlie state departments are extra-
vagantly provided for. and many
bureaus and departments should
have been reduced or eliminated
entirely .j Truly the governor of
