The iucTnasing demand for public,

the Legislature should order printed

reports of the various territorial
officers for distribution and exchange

additional 500 OF each be printed, for

The annual report of the governor
to the secretary of the interior, for
1885, is now being printed at Wash
ington, and | hope to be able to place
1t at your command at an early date.
Many of the subjects briefly mem
toned in this address are more fully
treated in the annual report, and |
invite your attention to its contents.
'~'hi HAsry LEGIsLkrIoS. piA
The executive Is a co-workcr with
b elegislatnre ia all its labors. 10 He
approves such bills as in his judgr
rpcnt should become laws, and re-
Turns those whichhc cannot conscicn-
tiousy'tsign, transmitting With the
bill his reasons for-vetoing the same.
Ills desirable. that this be dono.rin
all cases as early as possible, in order
that you may introduce the subject

able features, IN another enactment,
or secure the passage of the original
bill by the constitutional two-thirds
vote. l trust that IL needs no argu-
ment to sustain the proposition HAT
il is impossible for the executive TO
properly perform his duties in This
regard, unless Sufficient time IS al
lowed TO thoroughly scrutinizc and
consider every act of Legislation. Let
me urge, therefore, that yon do not
crowd into the last few days. Of the
session, as often occurs in legislative
bodies in Wyoming and elsewhere,
the mostimFortant and A. large pros
portipn of the unimpoitantlcgislation
II may be claimed that it is within
the power of the governor to inform
himself from day TO day OF the intent
ofthe bins before the III Legislature,
through the printed copies and OTHER
sources of na available 81 infor-
nation, and that he will therefore
be prepared TO pass upon the bills
when presented 10 him. But fre-
quenflyn a slight change by amend
nlenf makes At an entirely different
measure, requiring another course Of
thought and study. The executive
cannot justly BE criticised when his
signature Is withheld from bills not
presented in season toipermitf OF pros
characterization. ii, This fact coupled
with the accepted truth, that hasty
legislation should be avoided, fur
nfshes every reason why the early
days of your session ought to be the
busiest, and should be fully improved
by the early INTRODUCTION and con-
sideration of important matters,
