Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Messages and State Papers of Governor S. V. Stewart of Montana: 1913-1920
A law providing for the summary removal of officers who fail or refuse to perform their duties. In municipalities the Mayor is clothed with the power to summarily remove those who do not properly execute their duties. No such power is given the Governor, nor is it vested else where. No reasonable objection can be urged in opposition to such a provision. Many reasons exist for such a law. There is absolutely no provision for emergencies under the State administration. The power of removal vested in the heads of municipalities has been conducive of much good and has seldom been abused.
A resolution submitting to the voters the question of amending the Constitution by striking from Section 2 of Article IX. Thereof the word male.
The foregoing subjects of proposed legislation have been fully dis cussed by and with the people of the State. The one compelling rea son for urging them here is the simple fact that the people have ex pressed their wishes in the premises. I have not sought to outline the details of bills, having no desire to take legislative functions upon my self. All of the subjects contemplated can be covered by ordinary bills for laws or Constitutional amendments, and I recommend them to you for prompt consideration and action.
