The legislature 4s-granted 10 power to create mew and addi- tlonal departments, but may ap- point temporary commissions for special purposes. The head of the department of education is to be appointed by the regents, as suggested by the constitutional convention of 1915, 'The heads of all departments and members of all boards and commissions are to be appointed by the governor by and with the advice and consent of the senate, except in the case of the head of the department of farms and markets and members of com- missions created by the legisla- ture.

In the conference were the gover- nor, Speaker Machold, Simon L, Ad- l6r, majority leader; Joseph A. Mc- Ginnies, chairman of the~assembly Ways and Means Committeo, and Ed- mund B. Jenks, chairman of the as- sembly Judiclary Committee; George R. Van Names, secretary to the gov- ernor, and Robert Moses, secretary of the New York State Association. Chief Compromise The chief compromises were as fol- lows: Governor Smith agreed to add the office of attorney general to the gov- ernor, leutenant governor and comp- troller as the reduced number of elec tive state officials. The Republicans backed down from their stand that the number of state departments should be riveted Into the constitution. It was announced after the confer- ence that unless a limited number of specified state departments should be fixed In the constitution the whole re- organization program would fall flat. It was finally decided that there should be 20 state departments fixed in the constitution Instead of the 19 sought originally by the governor. This increase was caused when Gov- ernor Smith agreed to a separate de- partment of architecture. It was agreed, however, that nothing should prevent the legislature from creating temporary commissions for special purposes. Regents to Appoint The governor agreed that the com- missioner of education should be ap- pointed by the board of regents, as now provided, through constitutional provision. The present authority for appointing the commission of educa- ton is statutory. In turn, the assem- bly leaders acceded to the governor's position that all department heads and members of all boards and com- missions should be appointed by the governor by and with the advice and consent of the senate, with the excep- tlon of the head of the department of farms and markets and members of special commissions created by the legislature for special purposes. The governor agreed that a clause should be added late prescribing the manner of appointing the commissioner of tarms and markets. The short ballot and departmental consolidation | constitutional | amend- ment bill Introduced by Senator James J. Walker, passed the senate sé@veral weeks ago. At a recent con- ference of Republican assemblymen It wal decided to kill the measure un- leas {t sbould be amended so as to add me attorney general as an elective itate officer to the proposed shart bal- ot and to empower the legislature to eate or abolish state departments. Delay Granted The measure was reported adverse y the next day with the proposed Re- jyublican amendments, but considera- don was delayed at the request of Minority Leader Charles D. Donohue. The short ballot and departmental tamsolidation bill is the only one of the governor's proposals for reorgar- ifing the state government through' sonstitational amendments to sarvive so far. The ome providing for a four year term for the governor apd the spe providing for an execative budget fled In the assembly when adverse reports on them were adopted. A further discussion on the four year term and execotive budget iamerdments was agreed cn at Ite Conference. The only way in whicb [hese measures could pers the legs tatave this year in view of the advarga 'reports on them already efopted by the lower house would be to reintre- Cuce them in the fegisatore. * * * * Bs * * * * vi“i—i-Xf’tflt-i—it-Jlfli'l-i»*¥*}*******i~*i~lflb$1?**1(>>1—*X>X>x»*’(> i PeCowing the conference a jot [statement wus by all parties ito the confefemca. giving the corees imental conefitofionel emecinmect fm K C jay tm * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * %\ * * * * * ¥ * * * * * The joint statement follows: \Of the three constitutional amend- ments providing for the reorganiza- tlon of the state government only one, that which provides for the reduction of the number of elective officers and the number of departments and the general reorganization of the state government, was discussed. The amendments relating to the executive budget and the four year term for the governor were deferred until a mest. Ing Wednesday. \Eenator Walker's bill, which has passed the senate and which is now before the assembly for action, was the basis of the discussion. The gov- ernor conceded the continuance of the attorney general in the list of elective state officers, leaving the elective state officers the governor, Meutenant governor, comptroller and attorney general. Three Boards Ended 'The assembly leaders conceded the abolition of the commissioners of the land office commonly known as the land board, the commissioners of the canal fund and the commissioners of the- canal board. ”T9 the list of proposed depart ments the governor conceded the ad- dition -of a separate department of architecture, making the total num- ber of departments 20 instead of 19, \The assembly leaders agreed to drop their suggestion that the depart- monts of mental byglene and charl- tles be combined: \The governor agreed that the reor- ganization should be effective at the beginnfng of the fiscal year in 1926-- that is, July 1, 1926, ''The assembly leaders receded from their position that the legislature sshould have the power to crgate new and additional departments. This subject was discussed at considerable length, and it was finally agreed that the whole program of reorganization would fall to the ground unless a lim- ited number of specified departments were fixed in the constitution. \The provision was, however, re- tained that nothing should prevent the legislature from creating tempor ary commissions for special purposes. \The governor secepted the sugges- tion that the head of the department of education should be appointed by the regonts, as suggested by the con: stitutional convention of 1915. At the prosent time the commissioner is ap- pointed in this way, but this is under statutory and not under constitutional authority. \After considerable discussion the assembly leaders agreed to accept the provision originally recommended by the governor that the heads of all de- partments and members of all boards and commissions should be appointed by the governor by and with advice and consent of the senate, excepting members of temporary commissions for special purposes created by the legislature and excepting the head of the department of farms and markets. In the case of the department of farms and markets the governor agreed that a clause should be added providing that the head of this department should be appointed in a manner to be prescribed by law. \It was agreed that the head of the department of mental hyglene should have all powers of visitation and In- spection as well as administrative au- thority over institutions for the in- sane and feeble minded. \It was also agreed that the name, 'state commission of prisons,' should be changed to the 'state commission of correction. \Amendments are being prepared to the senate bill which will make It con- form to the agreements reached \ the conference. \The conferees then adjourned until an hour to be fixed next Wednesday for the discussion of the amendments providing for the executive budget and the four year term.\ Income Tax Final Warning A final warning to taxpayers of the state not to confuse the federal and state Income tax laws and neglect to file returns under the latter, now that the federal collection period is over, was issued by the State Tax Commis- sion. The decided falling off in some sections of the state in the number of returns filed has led the commission to believe that many taxpayers' this year have the mistaken impression that their Income tax dutles were over when they pald their federal tax. The state tax, however, is now due and must be paid on or before April 16. Bible Thoughts for the Week Sunday.

There seems to be several reasons for this, the serious ice storms of last year injured many \sugar bushes,\ the scarcity of help and the very meagre profits in selling maple syrup and sugar deter many farmers from tapping.
