Realisms; this weakness to our present
administration of law and Justice, a pre
vious legislature enacted what Is com
monly known aa the Sackett taw.' Under
this statute If an official empowered with
the enforcement of law refuse to do his
uty the governor Is authorised to In
struct the attorney general to commence
action In the supreme court against the
attending officer. The court may in Its
Judgment appoint a referee to take testi
mony to ascertain If there is any ground
for such action. After a bearing if had
and testimony taken the referee shall make
his report back to the court and the court
nay take such action as it shall deem
Just. Th!s law has been much talked
about and I think the governor's power
under it has been greatly over-estimated
and misunderstood by tho general public
Its value aa a means to law enforcement
has yet to ba proven. It has been Invoked
by an executive but once s'nos It was
adopted by the legislature and that time
by myself. Because of the time required
under the ""necessary court procedure as
Indicated above its value as a remedy for
the evil (t was presumed to correct la
greatly Impaired. It takes too long to get
results by th s act under present methods.
It seems to be somewhat the rule f late
to elect governors of this state for but
one term and unlesa the executive shall
commence an action against a 'derelict
official soon after he Is elected he Is very
greatly in exce of those of a congressman
or a I'nlted Statea senator and the dignity
of the state and Juatlce to the executive,
demands tht the governor should, at
least, receive a salary ejual to that of a
itrtirlwr of the national house or senate.
The sttomey grneral of this state should
be a las yer competent to combat the bet
counel that the bar of thia etste or any
other commonwealth afords. Corporations
pit aiin1 him the brightest and keenest
lecal minds thst money can hire. Questions
involving millions of the people's money
are of. en -times staked upon his ability
and Judgment. He should be paid a salary
of at least per annum, and the state
tr-a;rfr should receive a like salary, be
cause cf the rreponslbllitlee of the, office
and the great buslnen Judgment needed
there. The other state officers ahould have
their salaries Increased in a degree com
mensurate with their responsibilities and
duties. I recommend that an amendment to
eur constitution be submitted to the peo
ple for tbetr approval, providing for a
proper Increase In salaries aa suggested
herein, which Is In line with that also
made by my predecessor. Governor Shel
don. I believe the people of Nebraska will
sanction a reasonable increase of salary
to their officers. U given the opportunity
to do so.
For Hew Ball last.
A tax levy to raise .00.W0 for the pur
pose of erecting a building to house the
supreme court, the state library, the at
torney general s office and the State His
torical society is recommended. This If the
present legislature Is not ready to under
take the task of providing the state with
a proper state house building. The gov
ernor expresses the opinion that the pres
ent state bouse can be repaired so that It
will be of service for a long time, and
that with the INOO.OOO building proposed, the
state can worry along with Its present
capitol building. A 1 mill levy la proposed
to raise the amount An appropriation for

"The state of Nebraska has a very great
university in an exceedingly small situa
tion. It is tightly wedged in between bus
iness blocks, street car lines and rail
road track a, until it has been squeezed
Into all sorts of shape both as to the

and as to their places upon the campus
Tha university should expand and spread
out mightily in the near future, if it Is
to meet tha expectation -of its friends; and
th hopes and the wishes of the people of
the state. To acquire sufficient ground
for an adequate addition la tha present
campus will cost from three-quart era of a

official who ahall fall to do hla duty is
to ta In any manner vested In an execu

be given the right to hear complaints
against officers empowered with law en-

being made to hira that the official com
plained of la guilty as charged the gov
ernor should have the power to suspend

to th supreme court- At the governors'
conference held In Washington- T. C,
January last. Governor Hughes of New
York, bow Mr. Justice Hughe of the
United State supreme court, and many
distinguished executives of other stales,
expressed themselves as believing that th a
power should be lodged In the executive.
If this 1 thought too great aa authority

land should be devoted to the purpose of

and science should be removed to this
new campus as rapidly as possible. Th
law, medical and engineering college ran
remain for a time as at present located.
If desired, the present location could ulti
mately be disposed of to the city of LIB-
oola and would make, a first-class sit for

"Th general management and adminis

ised by constitutional enactment to take
from the Board of public Laada and Build
ing th labor and duty of managing and
directing th various, atat Institution now
under their control. This board ahould
constat ef three or five members to serve
for not lees than fiv years and lo be ap
pointed by the governor. It ahould be
made their plain duty to see that efficiency
ad not political pull ahould determine, aa
far aa poaaJuie. the personnel of the em-

The money that would be needed t

ting aside of a portion of th present farm
for the university campus, such land a
would be needed can be purchased at

laltlatlve sad Referenda.
Elaborate conslders'lon Is given the ques
tion of initiative and referendum. Experi
ence of state in which the proposed prac
tice Is In vogue is referred to. and expres
sion from the officers of those ststes are
quoted. Ictails of the probable form the
law should take are given lengthy con
sideration, and the following recommenda
tions are made:
"I would recommend that the amend
ment to be adopted should renu re a peti
tion of more than 10 per cent of the elec
torate of a atate to Initiate leg.slation
and not less than I per cent of the asm
vote to Invoke the referendum. This
represents the consensus of opinion of the
authorities which I have gathered from
every state that now has the law In opera
tion and from those who are warm advo
cate of the Idea.
"The amendment ahould provide that
only a limited number of measure should
be submitted at any one election If a satis
factory rule for preference can be de
termined. election st which a constitutional amend
ment is submitted should be required to be
cast In its favor to secure its adoption.
"That at kast T per cent of all the votes
cast st any election be required to be cast
upon a statutory measure submitted to the
people, under the initiative, before It shall
b declared carried.
"The measure to be voted upon
should be printed upon the same
ballot, as that upon whlh th candidates
for office appear and should be described
by suitable ballot title to be drawn under
sb direction of th attorney general, re
serving to th petitioners ths right to
appeal to the supreme court If dissatisfied
with the descriptive title furnished by the
legal authority of the state, they to submit
to the court a ballot title satisfactory to
th proponents of the law and the court
thereupon to promptly decide as to which
title will best inform the voter a to th
meaning and object of the proposed law.
"Information as to the measure to be
submitted, under the initiative and refer
endum, should be furnished to the voters
by advertisement In the newspaper of the
tat aa bow provided by law for consti
tutional amendments, and also by printed
arguments, pro and con. offered by those
for or against any such treasure, th same !
to be printed by the atat and distributed j
to the voter for their Information and
guidance. I would strike the party ring
from th present ballot form as provided
by ststuts. but ia any event the proposed
roe mi men t should expressly provide that
rotes shall not be counted either for or
against any amendment or statut unless
th voter shall indicate hla will by mark
ing in ths proper squar upon th special
ballot opposite tb measure submitted.
Based Experience. .
"I bar (on to considerable length to
glv you my views upon th primary ques
tion and th Initiative and referendum, be
cause ths ar matters dealing' directly
with th fundamental of government. I
approved th present primary law asalnst
my better Judgment, because X .ha vs. a well
grounded objection to ths exercise of th
veto power by ths executive except in grave
eases and X had not expressed - my view
fully upon that matter in my message to
th former legislature, and. therefore. I
hesitated to disapprove of a bill that had
passed both houses by a considerable ma
jority and upon which I had not plainly
stated my views In a constitutional manner.
The opinion that I have expressed , to you
ta this message an bound primarily upon
th iron logic of experience and th knowl
edge that I have gained in the of He that
th stat has honored ms with, and after
diligent and earnest study and consultation
with the executive of many other states
of tb union, and other In authority, whose
Judgment ' I ''befleve valuable,' because of
ths opportunities they have had to gain
knowledge 'at first hand. I hav every con
fidence that stfa'yrta use, the utmost carer
and consideration and exercise your best
Judgment In the questions as well as
very other- matter that ahall com before
you pertain lag to th welfare of the state.
"I .wish to express to you. and to th
people of th stat my appreciation of th
great 'honor done .meln entrusting to my
car th high office which I am about to
leav and to say to you, gentlemen of the
legislature ef Nebraska, that I- hop that
your duties will prov a pleasant task to
you personally, and that the session may
result in satisfaction and honor . to th
members her assembled and to .the welfare
of th people of th state. Respectfully gub
