active when it came to legislative consideration of

appropriations for education.

I would like to comment that it is not the
|
|
4
|
lobbyists that are against appropriations for any particu-

|

Another point that was brought up by Mr.

|
11
|
occasioned by a comment in Mr. Michener's paper on Page

|
13
|
working relationship between the governor and the legis-

|
14
|

|
19

particular legislature does not depend upon the form of
|
|
20
|
the government. It depends primarily on the personnel
|
|
21
|
involved. I think the relationship between the governor
