Denver, April 30.-Governor McIntirc
mas vetoed several bills left In hls hands
by the last Legislature.
First In the list of bills which the
governor disapproved Is the Crossing.
ham beet-sugar bounty bill. This pro.
posed TO pay a bounty of 81 per ton on
all sugar beets raised In this State and
SOLD to q manufactory within 1t. The
Dill created a beet-sugar board and
made small appropriation to maintain
1t, nut Its Importance lay IN the bounty.
Inc governor saysi vi Is difficult to
sec that such law would be any ap.
preciable encouragement to tho farm.

less the Intention and expectation be to
have moral liability and obligation
fastened upon the state to pay bo,nties

proprln:ed. lfsthls bounty bill be not
effective III the direction of encouraging
cargo Investments In factories and cor
responding cultivation of bcets, then 1t
would be n useless invasion of the con
stitutlon to allow II 10 become Il law.
IL 1t should result In mourning large
moral obligations in the way of boun.
Ties IL would greatly disturb the
finances OF the state, because the state
could not with honor repudiate such
moral obligations. 1t is said that
bounty of 81 per ton will not encourage
the establishing of n single factory, and
that no bounty lees than 81 per ton will
amount to an encouragement Of the cul-
turc of sugar beets so that the industry
can be started.
III but single factory be operated
tho cost to the state In bounties would
amount TO $4,000 at So per ton. II
ono factory can be, successfully run,
why not a dozen? II Is easy to see that
tho taxpayers OF the state cannot prop
crly be asked to endure any such bur-
den, certainly not without some direct
expression of their will In the matter"
In vetoing three relief bills the COVER

travagance on the part of otficeholders.

additional clerical assistance. compensn-
ton to be fixed by the judge and to be
paid out of the fees and cmOluments OF
the county judges and clerks of the
County court only.
The present law allows the sum OF
5000 to the county judge Of second
class county, out of which he Is to en-
ploy such clerical assistance as he may
need, to be paid out of the fees col
lectcd. In vetoing this bill the COVER
nor says:
Objections to this b!ll are that in Of,
feet II pays TO the county judge of /
second class county n salary OF $1,000,
which Is an Increase OF compensation
practically 10 the amount of $1,000. A
county judge remains. SO far rs the per-
Torrance OF his duty Is concerned, AT
one place. and has not the expense and
Inconvenience OF travelling about the
district as has district judge. 1t is
unreasonable TO suppose that n county
Judge, under such circumstances, is en-
Titled to $1,000 per year more than a
district judge. Further. at this time,
when increases In salaries are not ju-
dicious, II is unwise 10 increase the pay
