that. I think his veto, his item veto should be limited

|

to the appropriation bills..

JUDGE ADKINS: Mr. Eney.

MR. ENEY: Judge Adkins, I think one of the
|
|
5
|
questions was whether or not the Governor should have the
|
|
6
|
right to remove officials appointed by him other than for
|
|
7
|
misconduct, an absolute right of removal. Would you care
|
|
8
|
to comment on that?

GOVERNOR TAWES: Well, I don't hardly know
|
|
10
|
how to comment on that. That's a problem that is one of
|
|
11
|
the real problems of the Executive. We have had cases
|
|
12
|
where I would have given anything in the world almost if
|
|
13
|
there was a provision, if we could have, you know, dismissed
|
|
14
|
the employee, the department head or the person involved.
|
|
15
|
I think the Governor should have more of an
|
|
16
|
opportunity to discharge and to dismiss one of his appointee
|
|
17
|
for more reasons than are now set forth in the lav?. I think
|
|
18
|
you remember the various items, but it is not broad enough.

JUDGE ADKINS: Is there any reason why he should
|
|
20
|
not have complete power to the same extent that, for
|
|
21
|
example, the president of General Motors would have?
