THE RECORD,
BY CLAUDEL. COGER.
ACTS VALID SAYS
ATTORNEY GENERAL

AIIORNEI Y UE.NLIUtAL'
In answer to a request, Attor-
ney General Murphy has deIiy-
cred the following opinion:
"All the bills returned by the
governor to the secretary Of state
on last Saturday are valid laws,
as we'll those he undertook to
veto as well as those he approved
Aside from being a wholesale
sort of document, his so-called
veto assigns no objection what
ever to any bill or measure, but
states as its sole reason that the
bills we're not presented to him in
time, and that, consequently, he
had no authority to either ap-
prove or disapproye them.
"The presentation having oc-
Cured in twenty legal days after
the adjournment of the legisla-
ture-that is, within twenty days
in which work might lawfully be
performed-his alleged reason
for vetoing is no reason at all, in
a legal sense. This principle is
recognized by the supreme court
of our state, and is not the sub
ject of even plausible controversy.
The inconsistency of the action
of the governor in approving
some of the bills and vetoing
others, all presented at the same
time, is manifest. He had no
right to approve unless he had
the right to veto; if he vetoed d
part of them because he had hon
estly regarded them as not pre-
sented in time, he should have
vetoed all. If he approved some
because he favored them and We
toed others because he did not
favor them he should, had it
been possible, have been candid
enough to say so, and have stated
his objection to those he disap-
proved, If he had the right to
approve any OF them he had the
right to approve all. He did have
the right, and his reason for dis
approval or veto being legally
false, the bills falling under his
displeasure become laws to the
same extent and with the same
effect as if he had formally ap-
proved them. If called on by the
secretary Of state | shall advise
him to have all the acts thus re-
turned to him printed as valid
laws, and shall also advise him to
have the proposed constitutional
amendment, as the constitution
requires, submitted for ratifica-
ton or rejection to the electors at
the next general election.
