1t Is an old saying that cabbages can
not be worked too frequently. They

they are cultivated and given a good

BEET SUGAR BILL VETOED.
It A~ppropriates SIS To Pay Bounties
TO Growers OF sugar Beets.

ALBANY, July i3.-Gov. Hughes has
vetoed the bin appropriating $4,000 for
bounties to growers Of sugar beets. In
doing so the Governor fled this memo
randum:
In 1897 the Legislature provided counties
to be paid under specified conditions dnclud-
ing the condition that the grower should re-
ceive a net price Of IS per ton. to persons.
frms or corporations engaged In the manu-
facture Of sugar from beets grown in this
State. Pursuant to this provision large an
nual appropriations were made. In 1906 the
law was amended so as TO provide for pay
ment TO the growers Of sugar beets or their
assignees. and It was further provided that
the grower might assign the amount to which
he was entitled to the manufacturer with
whom he had a contract to supply beets at
a net price Of S5 per ton. Appropriations
have since been made accordingly.
believe that the provision for the payment
Of bounties, either TO manufacturers Of sugar
or to growers Of beets. unconstitutional. The
payments should not be continued and the
law in question should be repealed. as the
United States Supreme Court has held the
unconstitutionality OF such a law. This does
not, however, preclude the incurrence by
the State Of an obligation to make the stipu-
lated payments to those who have relied upon
the law In the conduct of their affairs. For
this reason I have not objected to the item
in this bill which makes provision for the
deficiency In the appropriation for distribu-
ton to the growers Of sugar beets OF their
~assignees for the season Of 1909.
It may also be proper for the Legislature
Of 1908 to make appropriation for the pay
ment Of amount specified In the present law
to the extent that It may be justified with
reference to the crop Of this season already
planted and obligations heretofore incurred
In rood faith for the purchase thereof. But
the policy Of paying bounties should not he
continued. and to oppose this and to prevent
the creation in the future Of demand against
the state in reliance upon the present law.

They didn't threaten any violence, as

ALBANY. July 13.-Gov. Hughes by his
action to-day indicates that he has not
changed his opinion OF the competency
OF State Superintendent Of Insurance

tenden. In proceedings before the Senate

the message from the Governor recon-
mending Mr.. Kelsey's removal from Office.
The Governor says in his veto memoran-
dunn:
There is no justification for this item.
The proceedings before the Senate and its
committee cannot in any proper sense be
called a trial. Neither the Superintendent
nor his witnesses were cross-examined. nor
were witnesses produced against him.
Counsel did not appear to prosecute him
or Ia argue In support Of the recommenda-
ton. The Superintendent saw At TO retain
counsel to present TO the Senate through
the form of question and answer the matters
he desired to have considered. My recon-
~mendation was based on his conduct In

The Superintendent could easily and

or Of any other matter he thought should be
