these many days. .ls ,r. .Is
The Governor did not "subside," and Il
begins to look as II he would "sue."
The Senate Judiciary Committee made
two reports today upon the question oi
authorizing him to bring suit against the
Public Printer for alleged overcharges aa
set forth In his recent message.
The majority report authorizes the
Governor, II he sees 5fit,, 70 bring suit
against The Public Printer and pay the
expenses OF 90 doing out Of the Contin-
gent fund, which is, as you will see, q
square dodge of the responsibility Of
prosecuting Walker. ~
The Minority report authorizes the
Governor not only to bring suit but to
employ additional counsel TO aid the At
torney General In its prosecution, and al
so to send for persons and papers, and ap-
propriates twenty-five hundred dollars
for the payment of expenses.
There Is no dodge in this report. It
means business
The House Judiciary Committee has
reported bybill, recommending, ingeneral
terms, the Governor TO bring suit against
any public officer who maybe iAdehult

mends an appropriation Of two thousand
