Governor Hovey and the Legislature.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
The courage of Governor Hovey in re-
sisting the e~ncroachments of the legisla-
tive department on the executive is worthy
of commentator by all fair-minded people,
irrespective of party affiliations. His con-
struction of the State Constitution, which
he helped to frame nearly forty years ago,
is undoubtedly correct, and, in my opinion,
he will be sustained by the people as well
as the law courts. The threat by a partisan
majority to withhold needed appropriations
to carry on the State government will not
deter a patriotic Governor from his sworn
duty. If the creditors of the State suffer,
it will not be his fault, but the criminal
neglect of those whose duty it was to make
appropriations.
There was a time when a disloyal Legis-
lature refused 20 appropriate money to car
~ on the State government, but Governor
Morton declined to convene the body In
extra session. and appealed to. the loyal
counties for pecuniary aid, and they re-
sponded cheerfully. / handed him $1,000
as the share of Henry county TO meet the
as soon as the people could elect another
Legislature. The men who now control
the legislative department will 60 into to,
tirement at the next election. Their out
rageous gerrymander cannot save them
from defeat. and their places viii be sup
piled by those who have some regard for
the Constitution and their oaths.
The powers of the government were WISE
" divided into three departments, legisla-
lative, executive and judicial, and one must
not assume the functions of the other, The
assumption that the Legislature can COM
mission an officer in the face of the Consti-
tuition. which declares "All commissions
shall issue in the name of the State, be
sealed by the State seal and attested by the
Secretary of State" seemst too ridiculous for
serious argument. If an officer caanot show
that kind of title TO his Office, he cannot be
recognized as such by anybody. 1t would
seem to be rather cheeky for the Supreme
Court Commissioners, who are lawyers. TO
accept of a paper signed Mason j. Niblack
and Green Smith, and call il a commission
under the Constitution. n. l.. BUNpY.
