Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1895-03-29

Lamont upon returning to Washington
as to the best sites for the new posts.
The sundry civil bill requires that a
board Of three army officers on duty out
side the military district in which the
posts are to be located shall examine all
the sites offered. We assume, therefore,
that Generals Schofeld, Batchelder and
Ruggles will constitute this board, and
that they have been selected by Secre-
tary Lamont for this purpose. No better
selection for the duty could be made, we
should say"
Speaking Of Bismarck and her pro-
posed land s%ure-to-be) military post, I
am led to remark that Mrs. Elizabeth B.
Custer, widow of the great Indian fighter,
is in Washington today. I shall do
myself the honor Of calling upon her on
the morrow. Should she speak on the
subject of Bismarck's military post, I
will, with her permission, duly commu.
nicate her views to the TRIBUNE.
Love to Farmer Wallace and all other
"old-tlmers." CHARLES L. GUR1EY.

An Important Veto.
Governor Allin, late Saturday, filed
his veto of Senate Bill No. 172 Gre
gory's) providing fer the constituting of
the codes. The matter was an important
one, and the necessity of the veto will be
understood from the message of the
governor on the matter, as follows:
Chapter IA of the laws of 1893 pro.
vides for the compilation of the revised
codes, which are to include all codes and
session laws passed by the fourth legis-
lative assembly, and provides for the
publication and issuance of q proclama-
ton and taking effect of the codes when
so revised and published.
Senate Bill No. 172 provides that all
laws passed in either territorial or state
Legislatures previous to the 9th day of
January, 1895, shall be repealed by the
taking effect of said Senate Bill No. 172.
which senate bill ,vas passed with an
emergency clause and to Immediately 20
into e~fectupon it's approval. It would
therefore seem that the taking effect of
Senate Bill No. liz would repeal all
laws now in force unless it put in force
the laws passed in the fourth legislative
assembly as session laws and revised
codes.
The constitution prescribes that no
act shall take effect previous to the 1st
OF July, unless the same shall have been
passed by two-thirds majority and en-
braciDg an emergency clause showing
the necessity for such law taking effect
previous to Jnly LIST. The several codes
were passed as bills without emergency
clauses, and would not therefore 20 into
effect previous to the LIST day Of July, or
they might not 60 into effect previous to
their publication as prescribed in Chap.
ter "a of the Session Laws of 1898. In
that event all laws will have been re-
pealed until ths session laws and codes
passed by the fourth legislative assembly
shall take effect, which under the pro-
visions of the constitution can not be
earlier than the LIST day of July, except
as to those passed with an emergency
clause. This might therefore leave the
state without laws until July LIST. For
thsse reasons I file Senate Bill No. 172
without my approval.
Gone Hence.
x-Lieutenant Governor Alfred Dickey
has left Jamestown, and the Alert re-
marks that in his departure for a future
residence at Tacoma, the state loses one
Of it's best known and most enterprising
men and Jamestown one of her old.time
influential citizens. Coming to the state
in 1879, Governor Dickey has been most
of the time since then actively engaged
in real estate, farming and banking, and
has made a long list of advantageous &C.
quaintances, who regret to see such resi-
dents 60 elsewhere. More or less ipter-
ested in the affairs of the state, and a
man Of opinions and wide reading, Mr..
Dickey became associated with the early
political movements Of North Dakota,
and was elected, as a republican, lieu
tenant governor, and presided over the
senate with ability and satisfaction in
1890. He was chosen by a succeeding
and different administration to carry out
the plans of the state as executive man
ager for the states interest at the worlds
fair, which work he did with character
istio energy and ability.
The Compilation Commission.
The governor has vetoed Senate bill
No. 81, which repeats the law establish
ing the compilation commission, intended
to dispense with the services of the com.
mission. The veto message is as fol-
lows:
Senate bill No. 81, "An act repeating
chapter "a of the session laws OF 1882 2
is hereby filed without my approval, for
the reason that there is some doubt as
to whether the work to be done in con.
n%ection with tho publication of the re-
vised codes a properly be completed
by that time. The compilation commits
sion having fled q written stipulation
that their pay as such commission shall
cease on and after September /, there
