SANDERS ADDENDUM.

The legal opinion that Lieutenant Gov
ernor Sanders call which embraced
new legislative objects for the extra SEES
sion's consideration, can not be SuS-
tanned constitutionally is the concensus
Of the lawyers of ability. Some, how
ever, contend and perhaps with reason,
that the Legislature would have the
right at the call session to submit Con
stitutional amendments. whether en-
braced i'll the call, or a call, or not.
Authorities hold that when a Legis-
lature engages iii debating, framing and
adopting amendments to the Constltu-
ton it is in performance of functions
which are especially and solely delegated
to it. the Constitution having clothed the
Legislature with that power exclusively.
In fact the Governor has no authority
to veto constitutional amendment, pro-
vided the amendment does not contain
matters purely legislative in character
and effect In other words, matters
which legislative statutes would reason
ably include.
The question, however of the legality
Of the Lieutenant Governors adden1 dunn
is another matter, which has had in past
times judicial review in the courts of
this and other States The question
hinges directly upon the qualification of
Lieutenant Governor Sanders to per
form the act. In other words, does the
absence of the Governor from the State
for a limited time create such legal va
cancy as the Constitution conte1nplates
when it says that in case of the death
conviction or Impeachment, failure to
qualify AMI resignation, the Lieutenant
Governor shall act?
And then it is contended that involved
u the absence must be the purpose: Was
it public business or merely pleasure or
private affairs that calls the Governor
away? If, in performance of a public
function, or one authorized or reason
ably deduced from law or law, courts
have held that constructively there was
no absence of the Governor and there
fore the Lieutenant Governor could not
perform the functions of that office.
At all events, the point is confused
and disputed
To clear it up it was proposed. that
Governor Blanchard call another extra
session of the Legislature to act upon
Lieutenant Governor Sanders sugges-
tons, that session to begin with Deem
Der II. the day following the close of
the thirty-day call.
However, Governor Blanchard has in
formed the public that he will allow
Lieutenant Governor Sanders act to
stand, and if the Legislature should fail
to enact the necessary laws called for
in his (the Governor's) proclamation,
then Mr.. Sanders must assume full re-
sponsibility before the people.
Now Mr.. Sanders has an opportunity
to show the stuff that is in him. If he
fails to do his full duty now he need not
expect public approval.
