Governor.

The motion of Mr.. Spears Of OAR
lington to pass the act over the veto
was voted upon by the house at once.
1t required SO votes to do this. When
the vote was counted it was found
that the friends of the measure had
lost, getting the required figures, but
not in the proper order-30. The
vote on the motion was as follows:
Ayes-38; Nays--64. The New
berry delegation voted as follows:
Ayes-Dominick; Nays-Banks and
Kibler.
The following special message WAS
also sent to the house on the other
''held up" act. Toere we're lO2 votes
agsiost passing the act over the veto
and none for it:
January II, 1902.
To the Speaker and Members of the
House of Representatives:
beg to return without my sigma
ture act No. l03, passed by you at
the last session, and which originated
in the house of representatives. "To
provide for the establi, hment of q
new school district in tks county OF
Anderson" Believing that it was IN
violation of the constitution OF the
State, submitted it to the attorney
generals office and requested an
opinion on that point. I ae reply OF
the attorney generals office is as
follows and clearly states why 1t
should not receive the approval OF
the Governor.

1he governors message VetOlng Ine
act rerealing the anti free pass act
presented yesterday reads as follows:
To the Speaker and Members of the
House Of Representatives:
beg to return to you without my
approval act No. 129 to ''Repeal an
act entitled AN act to prevent the use
of free pass, express or telegraph
frank on any railroad by any United
States Senator 70 member of congress
FRONT his State, or by any member of
the general assembly of thia State, or
byany State OF county official, or by
any Judge of court of record in this
State Approved December 22, A.
D. 1891"
This act was passed at your last
session, but was not ratified and
turned over to US until the last day
of the session and, therefore, could
receive no consideration until after
your adjournment
The act which the one under con-
sideration purports to repeal was
passed in response to a popular de
msnd to remove the legislator and
the official, as far as possible, from
corporate power and influence. 1t
was not entirely a factional measure,
though enacted daring the tine
when factional feeling ran high. 1t
had the support of members of all
factions at that time and was enacted
for the public veal. I do not know
of auy demand or any good reason
why it should be repealed, and have
therefore withheld my approval from
the act repeating it. The system of
distributing free passes by railroads
among the members of the Legislature
and other officials before this act was
passed prohibiting it was pernlclous,
aud while would not for moment
be understood as saying or intimating
that any legislator or other official,
State or county, could be unduly in
Auenced by receiving free pass, yet
it should be remembered that We are
all human and must feel kindly to
that man or corporation, the recipient
of whose fayors We are. These cor
porations. are already very powerful
and WELD great influence on legis-
latlon. Why should q frank or free
pass be. given to man as State
official or legislator when it would not
be thought of so long as he remained
private citizen. Legislation is
frequently had affecting these COZ
porations and laws already made
affecting thrm have, to be executed.
It is best for the public service that
the official and the legislator be en-
tirely free to. act with entire impair
tiality in making and executing the
laws. He should be able at all times
to hold the scales of justice with an
even hand, remembering always the
rights of the corporations as we'll as
the rights of the people. Believing
this can be better done by not accept
ing favors from the corporations, and
therefore not being under obligations
to them, however small the obliga-
tion, I beg to return to you the re-
pealing act without my approval and
signature. Respectfully,
M. B. McSweeney,
Governor.

VERY respectfully,
U. X. Gunter, Jr.,

". ~. ~ UAlSA1 OA'S
Assistant Attorney General.
I trust it will not be improper
again to call your attention to the
importance of being guarded and
careful about placing upon the statute
books acts which are directly in the
face of the constitution. The consti-
tuition forbids the passage of laws OF
a local or special nature and the
supreme court has frequently held
them unconstitutional.
Respectfully,
NJ. B. McSweeney,
Governor.

His excellencv. NJ 3 M"Sweena.:
Dear Sir: Y>n >uhm;t for the con-
sideration of this c:fi;.A, Rct No. lO3
passed by the recent general assembly
purporting "ro provite for the estab-
lishment of new srhool district IN
the county Of Anderson" and reque't t
to be advised as to the constitution
atty of such an act.
From an inspection of the body of
the act it is obvious that the above
title correctly sets forth the purpose
of the act. That the act is repugnant
to the spirit of the constitution and
in direct contravention of the letter
of that instrument there can be no
question. The strongest evidence is
to quote article 3, section 81, of the
constitution of 1895: "The general
assembly of this State shall not enact
local or special laws concerning any
of the following subjects or for any
of the following purposes to wit:
V. To incorporate school districts. "
x
While there can be no mistake as
to the meaning of the above phrase
ology, We have cumulative evidence
as to the correctness CT this conclu
sion in article II, section 5, of the
constitution which provides for 3
division of counties into sultaDle
districts and the manner Of forming
them. Legislative action for the
formation of particular school dis
trict is not only not contemplated by
this section, but positively repugnant
thereto.
Very respectfully,
The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1902-03-22

The Justice Decides Against the County

The Justice Decides Against the County
Commissioners.-On Monday last Justice
Perrie, of Towson. rendered decision in the
case of Rachel Wolfe against the County Com
missioner awarding the former S37. The
plaintiff had paid, as required by law, $50 as
deposit to cover the preliminary expenses of
opening new road for which she had made
application. The purpose of this deposit was,
it was argued, to cover preliminary expenses,
such as survey, etc. If the road was not
opened the petitioners would lose the amount
of the deposit. but if it was accepted by the,
Board all preliminary expenses, including
those which were covered by the deposit.
would be deemed a part of the expenses of
opening the road, and would be taxed as such,
and all benefited would be assessed their proper
proportion. The road in this case was opened,
but in the assessments the $50 deposited was
ignored, and the Board refused to refund it,
1t was argued on the part of the Commission.
ers that the bill should have been presented
before the proceedings were closed. Justice
Perrie took different view and gave judg-
ment for the $50, less the proportionate share
of the preliminary expenses which the petit
toner should have paid.
