A Questionable lleform.
The Georgia House of Bepreaentativi
has passed u bill requiring the State Com
missioner of Agriculture to ho elected by
the people. It has also ont down the ap
propriation for the department from $10,-
000 to *5,000 a year.
The wisdom of this so-called reform is
questionable, to say the least
The commissioner of agrienknre
should not he a politician. He ought to be
practical business man, with a knowledge
the oondition end needs of tho egtionltn-
interests of the State. If the House bill
becomes a law there will be no lack of poli-
tioiats who will be in for the position of
commissioner of agriculture. In a popular
election, which would probably bo ap-
proaohed through tho avennes ot a State
convention, tbe praotloal bnsinesi man will
have a poor ibowlng beside the
politician. Tbe commissioner, nndcr
the present law, is appointed by the Gov
ernor. Tbe Governor is responsible (o the
people for the character and fitness of the
man whom he appoints to this offico. Dad
appointments may be made sometimes,
There ia no rnle by which the beat men oin

recipients of pnblio cilice. Bnt
we believo the ohances of aeonring a

does not need it, then let it bo abet

mean to say is, that so long as the State
