# GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
The Governor says:
T., the Senate:
am constrained to return without np-
prevail the joint resolution originating IN
your body and agreed to therein 5Decemt
Der II, 1901.
81 It should first be observed that the OBJ
iect of this resolution is not only not
stated In its title, but that it has no title
whatever, and therefore is unconstitu-
=tional in that it plainly violates the ex-
press requirement Of section 10 OF article
5 of the Constitution.
But however conclusive the constitution
al objection just suggested, beg to urge
withholding my assent to this act. ms
resolution segregates from the treasury
three hundred thousand dollars, to be ex-
pended in pensions as may hereafter pc
devised. In other words, this sum is set
aside to remain inviolably useless anu
idle unless appropriated by subsequent
law If it be the purpose OF the present
General Assembly to make such an ap-
propriation the resolution Is thereby SUI
Terseded. and is therefore wholly unneces-
sary. II. however, public exigencies or
inability to agree upon the method OF Up
nropriation should carry this question to
another session.. it would be difficult TO
give a reason for impounding SO large
sum. Therefore. If it be the purpose 10
make an appropriation there is no posi-.
bic need Of this resolution; but II tnere Pc pc
NJ snch nnrnose.z then great harm can
come tostl1e State: and in either event no
nossible good can be subserved by the
resolution.
- rs NOT IMPERILED.
Tba reason assigned in the resolution
for its adoption is that otherwise the ap-.
sr7cpriation therein contemplated WlllzzEEDe
in,periled. ) tits submitted that this rea-
scr is unfounded, for 1T is manifest tf1at
no such peril can accrue save. by the ac-
t,or of the General Assembly itself; a nd
this body Is now as free to deal with
the natter:of pensions directly by an ap-
furopriation as indirectly by a futile sreso-
luton.
The Justice and expediency Of pensions
is not involved. All are agreed that the
state should do her utmost TO AID hei.
,eedy and deserving veterans, but all
mist concede that the needy and de-
serving alone should be the recipients
Of the money appropriated. The present
law is far from satisfactory, resulting IN
irregularities and njustice which should
rot be possible under any future pension
legislation.
For these reasons I am unable to con-
cur in this irregular procedure, car
wing with it no. compensatory advant-
ages whatever. and am therefore COM
PEELED to enter my disapproval of a reso-
luton which, so far as I am ADVISED, is
without precedent.
