When I x ead Governor J. Bracken Lees defiant and positive statement in the daily press last Friday that he did not intend to call a special session of Utahs Legislature, regardless of the advice given him by a committee he appointed to study the problems that seem to warrant the call, I immediately recalled a statement the governor made in Roosevelt last fall when making one of his campaign speeches. A statement, I fear, has suddenly taken a reverse meaning. Governor Lee was discrediting his gubnatorial opponent, who he said had , convinced him that he "Would rather be governor than be right." "As for me," the governor said, "I'd Rather Be Right, Than Be Governor Of Utah. Not so long ago the governor infered that when the commisLegislative Council committee and the Sixty-Masion, both conceived and appointed by him, made their reports he would accept their findings and recommendations. And now these reports have been made and each has encouraged the governor to call the duly elected legislators of the people of the State together to work out the entangled problem of school financing in Utah, But the governor has dismissed his two counseling bodies and, as he told a Logan legislator, Adrain C. Hatch, Im carrying the ball from this point. A statement, if interpreted correctly, and there seems to be little doubt as to Mr. Lees meaning, that" leads the citizenry of Utah to believe that the governor would rather be governor than ' be right. The Deseret News published an editorial in its Saturday night issue, July 4, which states the issue of Governor Lee and Utahs government more ably than I could possibly express, an opinion that I heartily concurr in. For this reason I am reprinting it in this column for all our readers to consider; n One-Ma- n Government. . . "In the bowels of the Lord. I beseech you, brethren, consider it possible that you may be mistaken." That fervent appeal against rash and ruthless action was sounded 300 years ago by a dictator of sorts Oliver Cromwell. It hangs today on a placard behind the desk of Governor J. Bracken Lee. We modestly suggest that the governor ' turn around and read it. The governor has finally announced that he will not call a special session to consider the school problem. He has established himself as the final authority on the matter and there is no appeal of his decision. This is stubborn, autocratic government. We speak not now of the merits of the arguments for or against "the increasing of state aid for the schools. We speak of governmental principles. The governor established a commission to study the whole school problem. When, after great expense and greater personal effort by the commission members, the finding of the study did not conform to the governors personal views, he rejected them. He asked the Legislative Council for recommendations. When those recommendations did not conform to his personal views, he rejected them. All of the best judgment of fine, intelligent people is thus discarded by the man who asked for their judgment in the first place. This is government unworthy of Governor Lee and unworthy of the Stale of Utah. Governor Lee seems to base his decision, in part at least, on the fact that his mail runs ten to one against calling a special session. It is expected that mail to the his policies. On the governor in general would applaud other hand, the letters from - readers to this page have weighed heavily on the other side of the issue. We doubt that either the governors mail or ours gives the complete and accurate picture of public sentiment. In any event, this is not the proper way to conduct government. The people of the state have already elected persons to represent them. These elected representatives are the people who should really be reflecting public opinion. But the governor has refused to give these men, the legislators of the state, the opportunity to represent the people who elected them. He has refused to give them their rightful voice in this most important public issue. Governor Lee attempts to put the blame for the school situation on the school people. The public may judge where the blame lies. At any rate, we devoutly wish there could be less talk of blame and more talk about the welfare of our children. There has been talk that the schools might not open this fall. They will open. The school people will do the best job they can do. But there will be fewer qualified teachers. There will be curtailed classes. There will be an undercurrent of resentment that cannot fail to be transmitted to our children. Our children will suffer because of it. That, not the blame is the important point. That and the point that government by law calls for government by lawmakers. Governor Lee was not elected to be a lawmaker, but to carry out the will of the lawmakers. He has taken an oath of office to do that. We suggest again, that he consider it possible that he may, in the present instance, be mistaken. v E v AND ADS? , . , Too many times a merchant takes MIRACLES up newspaper advertising after every other way to sell the merchandise has failed. If he has something he hasnt been able to sell in a year, he usually thinks newspaper advertising should move it from his shelves in a week. It cant be done, You cant sell anything with newspaper advertising that cant be sold without newspaper advertising. The successful advertiser beams confidence in his merchandise, he advertises what he believes in. Advertising is a selling tool, a selling help. Dont expect it to perform miracles or replace the intelligent buying of merchandise for the store. v E v , Democracy Shemocracy Away down South in the land of cotton, Bristol (Va) After the citizen votes he is forgotten.
