Cm in The senate Is about to perpetrate Its hionnl.il consolidation Joke, up on the state. Acting upon two res olutions, one by Senator Tooze and the other by Senator Hall provid ing for the creation of commis sions to examine into the consoli dation of state offices and de partments and report back to the legislature two years hence, the senate resolutions committee Mon d.iy afternoon brought in a report recommending that these two reso lutions ha tabled and presented a substitute. The substitute resolution was ac ceptei, and in all probability will be adopted by the senate, and per haps by the house. While not a great deal can be said of the original resolutions, the Hall proposal being offered simply to serve notice upon the legislature that its author was washing his hands clean of consolidation leg islation at this session, the only thing to be accomplished by the substitute is the expenditure of the $1000 appropriation it carries. It provides for the creation of a com mtesion of five members serving without pay, one member of the house and one member of the sen ate, one citizen elected by the house and one elected by the senate, with these four to select the fifth. .The commission is given all kinds of authority with which to conduct its Investigations, and not enough money to pay for the services of nn executive secretary or clerk, to fay nothing of defraying the trav eling expenses of the members. It Is further stipulated that the committee shall make a report of Its findings and present a propos ed consolidation bill to the next session of the legislature, so that it may be juggled and jumbled about by the members who have no more than a cursory knowledge of the situation, and subjected to the destructive pressure of the pow erful lobby of the state office hold ers. The committee objected to the Tooze bill because the govern or and the attorney general, who might be Influenced by prejudices favorable to certain state officers, were mado members of the com mission Senator Tooze proposed. They turned right about and pro posed to cast their bill upon the tender mercies of the entire state bureaucracy. Although it was suggested in the committee room in connection with the hearing on the Tooze resolu tion that the commission might be empowered to draft a bill and sub mit It to the people at the general election in November, 1926, before laying it before the legislature, this plan was consplcious by tta absence In the substitute resolution brought In by the committee.
