sent to the House yesterday afternoon
his veto Of the Senate bin requiring
all physicians, nurses, and other en-
ployes Of the Delaware state Hospital
to be resident in the state for a period
OF three years prior to appointment.
The text Of the veto is as follows:
To the Senate CT the State Of Deia-
ware:
The adt which has passed both houses
OF the General Assembly and been pre-
seLt2c Ito me, entlt,c1 AN act 10
am-ad chapter 553, vo,nme rs, Laws OF
Delaware, and TO provide that al, ply
alclans stewards, ma!rons, nurses and
other servants Of the Delaware State
Hospital at Farnhurst. shall be resi-
tlll1 CT this state for at least three
years prior to their appointment"
being Senate bin No. 50, has been
carefully considered by me. and / now
ro;uun 1t to the Senate with ghe follow
irs obiecticns:
The purpose and effect of this hin Is
exr'ained in Its title
The renware State Hospital at
Fl7nhurst Is a o.ate lnstsution for the
vare ara treatment of the insane and
mas been established and maintained az
a great expense 10 the state.
The trustees who have charge Of this
institution are careful and honest men
appointed frcm ar parts OF the state,
and have no doubt that they exercise
their authority In the enjoyment Of
physicians, stewards and other EN-
ployes with due care ard for the best
interest CT the state and the institu-
tlon.
In order that the unfo7tunates who
are there cared for may have the best
care and treatment. Il is necessary that
the most competent. trained and skill
ed physicians and ether attendant,
that can be obtained should be pro-
vided.
Whether the persons go employed
are citizens Of this state or not shcu,d
ret be considered. When there are sc
few In this state possessing the neces.
sary experience ana draining In IN
care OF tr-2re, such a law as this bill
cousemp,aias might deprive the insN
tltion Of the proper management ane
It's patients CT the care which they de-
serve.
! Whatever m1tives may underlli
aleh legislation we must recognize tina
guCh institutions are established an,
maintained for the benefit Of unfortu
nate and HELPLESS citizens, and not {,
afford employment 10 physicians an,
attendants.
lt IS with had grace uhat a state lkl
Delaware, so many Of whose citlzen
emigrate and seek employment j.
c-her states. should attempt to rails
The barrier against citizens OF othe
aG'-s. State Zines are imaginary linn
Its for purposes OF local government
and when We lose sight of the fac
that the several states constitute on
common country and attempt to dis
orlmlnate against citizens OF othe
states. we violate the spirit Of our gov
ernment
Entertaining as l do these objection
( to The bill, return il to the hcus
o. where it originated.
