SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM .- TOO MUCH AUTHORITY FOR SUBORDINATES. The fact that subordinates in the office of the chief executive are sign- ing Governor Johnson’s name to im- portant official documents, instead of the governor himself, has led to much talk relative to a bill to be introduced at the coming session of the legislature calling for the sub- mission of a constitutional amend- ment to the people holding that when the governor is absent from the state the lieutenant governor shall exercise all the duties of the chief executive. This is the case in many other states. It is argued that, although the lieutenant gov- ernor might be of an opposing poli- tical party, it would be better for him to have the power of signing as chief executive instead of some stenographer, perhaps, of the chief executive’s office. NOTHING “SMALL” ABOUT US. The News is of the opinion that Bemidji is the proper place for the new Normal School to be located, but when an opportunity presents itself and they should fail to make suitable provision for adequate pub- lic school buildings, it would appear tous to be along mark against them. —Laporte News. For the information of Brother Kelley of the News and any other interested parties, the Pioneer will state that the Independent School District of Bemidji has just voted bonds, in the sum of $35,000, with which to erect a splendid high school building, which is needed to supply house room for Bemidji’s rapidly- growing school population. And Bemidji has a beautiful sight for the proposed sixth normal school. THANKS, BRO.
