i r Lincoln Bureau STATE ENTITLED TO FAIR TRIAL OF NEW CODE LAW Governor Discusses Civil Ad ministrative Statute Before i . a. J! I '-. a . tciecuc meoicai Associa- tion; Grave Doubt Lincoln.'May 14. In hit remarks at the annual convention of the Electric Medical association, Gov ernor McKelvii discussed the civil administration code, and after , ex plaining ".hat it was not a revolu tionary idea, the principle of con solidation of departments having been approved by at least the ;Iast two governors preceding him. '"Under the department of wel fare, there is consolidated the sub jects that are properly related to such a department, namely, health, with special reference to son tagtous and communicable diseases and sanitation; examing boards that have charge of the certification of individuals . for all branches of the medical and , pharmaceutical pro fissions, vital- statistics, maternity homes, child welfare, charities and corrections, pardons and paroles," . said the governor. ,JThis consoli dation eliminates the state board of health as it is now constituted, and the board of pardons and paroles, a;id places the duties of the two boards in charge of the secretary of the department of welfare. The examining boards , are continued substantially a they have been, in the past. "You have no dotibt noted by news paper reports that a movement is under way to hold up the operation of th code by invoking the refer endum. , Without seeking to' quesy tion the integrity of (purpose of -those who are in charge of circu lating the referendum petitions, it must be borne in mind, of course, that, the people will want to know the sources from which they re ceive' their stimulus' and financial support. ':-v-,..r '- ? "Also, there is undoubtedly in the minds of the people a very grave doubt as to wisdom of using .the referendum to delay the operation of legislation that was brought to the attention1 of the people end dis cussed prior to the general election, and was enacted after very careful consideration at the hands of the legislature. '. "A plan of business administra tion for public business, such as is provided for in the code, is worthy of a trial before' jt is condemned. Otherstates have approved it and have accepted it as a great , boon, . and there is no good reason why the referendum should be invoked Mo deprive Nebraska-of putting into' - full operation r plan,; of ; business administration that has been thus "carefully considered., and generally approved." -. - ; -.
