STATE OF LOUISIANA
Executive Department, :
New Orleans. March 3, 1910
To the Honorable Speaker and Members of the
House OF Representatives:
return to the House of Representatives.
without my signature, an act entitled IAN
act for the relief of the officers and mem
bers of the Metropolitan Police, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
First, The law prescribes the salary of each
officer of the police force, and he has taken
the office with the understanding that he
shall receive so much and no more, and it is
unjust to make discrimination between
police oticerss and other officers and cred
itors OF the corporations affected by the bill.
Second, 1t ls not a fact that so large dis.
count as thirty per cent has been suffered at
all times during the year
Third, Section third Of the bill makes an
unjust discrimination between officers of
the Police force ITSELF by allowing no extra
compensation for those who have not served
SIX months, but have been compelled to suf-
fer equally as much discount on their war;
rants, for the time they have served. as
those who have served for longer period.
Fourth, This kind of legislation Is a bad
precedent, because every officer of the State
who has been compelled to discount his
warrant, has an equal right to come to the |
Legislature and ask that his loss be made |
good to him.
Signed, Fl. C. WARMOTH
Governor of Louisiana.
