amend
The recent attempt to amend the
spirit and intent of our state const i
tution, wherein it provides for "boards
of control" of our state's business and
/resources, by substituting therefor ap
pointive "centralized" or "cabinet"
control by the governor, without dis
cussion or vote of the people, is a
spts-ies of radical usurpation of power i
that plainly points ibe way to a dan
gerous and extravagant dictatorship j
of public affairs, eliminating the
sontial safeguards intended by our I
state constitution.

I
Idaho lias too many millions of dol
lars involved to experiment with any
form of business control which, l>e
forc its enactment, was never not forth
in any political party platform nor
was ever discussed by the statt' press
or by the people. Noth withstanding
the many eneomiiims appearing in the
press regarding the so-called "cabinet <
