Evening Session.

Immediately upon the converting of the
evening session of the Senate at . o'clock.
President DeaSey read Governor Fer
maids veto of the Hastings bill. provid-
ing for mandatory jail sentence for liquor
was as follows:
To the Honorable Senate:
| have examined Senate bill entitled:
An Act in amendment OF Section /.
of Chapter 1856 of the Revised Statutes
relating to sentence in criminal cases, >
and respectfully return the same here
with without my approval.
This bill seeks to deprive our courts
of certain discretionary power in
imposing sentence in criminal cases
which has existed in principle since the
early history Of Jurisprudence in this
State. While our constitution declares
that all power is inherent in the peo-
pie and that they have therefore on
unalienable and indefeasable right to
institute government and to alter. re-
form. or totally change the same, when
their safety and happiness require It.
yet the same fundamental law has also
declared that the powers of govern
lIltiIl SIlttii bt ulNlutd lllO lllIpp ais
tinct departments. legislative. executive
and judicial. In our State the fun
tons Of the judicial department arise
from peculiar delicate and intricate
admiXture of the principals of the COM
mon law with the mapdateS of the
Legislature. To obtain the best re-
suits these principles and mandates
should show proper regard each for
the other.
Judicial discretion. within certain
limitations, is one of the foundation
stones OF the temple of justice. To
remove discretionary power from the
judiciary in many cases might work
hardship or even cruelty. The wise,
upright judge has before him all the
facts and circumstances in each case,
and he should. in my opinion. be al
lowed a certain range of discretion in
forming his judgments unless fragrant
abuses of that power arise.
The history of the judicial system in
this State and the character of the
present incumbentS thereof. are such
as to lead me to the conclusion that
the act under consideration, so broad
in application and so sweeping in its
possible results. is unwise |. there
fore. respectfully decline to sign the
bill.
(Signed) BERT NJ. FERNALD,
Governor Of the State of Maine
Senator Miliken of Aroostook was the
spokesman for those desiring to pass the
bill over the Governors veto. He stated
that whatever he had tried To do at this
session Of ihe Legislature had been
along the lines of conducting the bust
ness of the state upon business prnci-
pies and the strict enforcement of the
prohibitory laws. He said that he voted
for the bill from principle and could not
see his way to vote differently now.
