cent IN his first Veto He returned 10

probation the blll TO appropriate $1,000
tor each of the years ls9l-2 for the
home for discharged prisoners. He
says: This home 10 = private enter

such. is very worthy and laudable
charity. Itis in charge Of Mrs- Agnes
d. Arcambai, a most lovely and estl-
mabIe lady, who devotes her life SER

fortunate. This hop.e for discharged
prisoners is not. however, in any sense
a State institution Ii was not estab-
lithcd by the State and its managers
and executive officers are IN no sense
State officers or subject to State con-
troll. THIS appropriation raises . ques-
ton of State policyof grayeimportance.
The home 10 one out OF hundreds OF
equally worthy private charities
existing in the state. So far as am in
formed. il is the only one 10 which il
is proposed to extend state aid. Ii the
aid asked is granted, many other be-
nevolent institutions will feel equally
entitled to stata aid, and either lnvidi-
Gus determinations must be made, or
all similar requests be granted, State
aid was first granted To this home by
the legislature OF 1889. Ii the example
set then should be followed by your
honorable body. il will be cited hereaf-
ter as the selected policy of the state,
that deserving private charities may
receive money from the state treasury.
Small But Very Dangerous.
1t is true that only the modest sum
Of 800 per month Is now 1sked, but.
that granted, the need for more will
follow, as the home grows, and this,
step by step, the state will be committed
10 polling of large expenditures not
contemplated and which would not
have been approved at the outset.
am thus constrained to present my
objections to this measure because,
while the expenditure IN his case is
small, an important principle is in
volved. Once approve the policy of
granting public aid to private purposes
and you enter field which practically
has no bounds. This policy would not
meet the view, which finds expression
in the general demand for reduced
public expenditures. Our taxpayers
have their own wives and children 70
