VETO or THE FEE nILL.
MIR. Prince Points Out wherein the
Governor Is Right.

Austin, Texas, March 29.--In the house
today Mr.. Prince delivered himself of the
following remarks in support Of the gov
ernors veto OF tbs sherlns' fee bill:
On March 2 the question before this
house was whether certain fees should be
increased for sherfs. | remembered then,
as remember now. that the constsbulafy
OF our State stood guard over our lives
and our property and went through great
hsrdships for our sake. and yet were poor
ly paid. and / willingly cast my vote for
that bill. and contend now that II the
state were in condition 10 do so their
fees for certain services ought 10 be In
creased.
But the question before this house TO-"
day is whether the ancient and constitu-
tiona right OF veto by the governor
should be sustained. Most OF us aided In
placing him at the head OF this admins
tration to conduct our states AFFAIRS, and
he comes 10 us as TO his friends saying
that after a careful and thorough In
vesilgation, he believes the success OF this
administration will be endangered II these
great financial burdens arc placed upon
n. The administration Is on him, and he
viii be held responsible for rs success
or failure Feeling deeply the respon-
hlDilNY, ne nhb gwen mature thouBhb ="
the problem and In perfect frankBess has
told us the present taxing power OF the
State is insufficient TO meet the demands
made by the different appropriations and
leave a safe working balance in the treas
ury. and. therefore, he admonishes us that
" we increase expenses by allowing Theses
fees I'VE viii cripple his administration.
Believing that the man who Is charged
with the conduct Of any branch OF our
government ought TO have large share
OF discretion in the management OF the
affairs committed TO him. am OF the opin-
ion that the veto ought to be sustained
believe. furthermore. that there ought 10
be unity OF purpose in all branches oil
our government so that together We may
bring out the best results in legislation and
IA State affairs. believe, 100. that oui
tax levy Is large enough now. and We
ought not TO make appropriations 70 In
crease It, nor ought we 10 make approprla-
lions that will bring a deficit.
