PHOENIX, March 1.-THE expect
ed veto of the segregation measure was
transmitted by the governor 70 the
house this afternoon, when tie Demo
Gratis went into caucus.
When the session was resumed, on
motion of Suffer the bill with the. veto
was referred to the committee on ter
ritorial affairs by. vote Of IA to 9,
which indicates the passage of sab-
stitute or amended measure which will
probably be brought out of committee
tomorrow.
The grounds for the veto were three
defects, one the measure did not pro-
vide for election in rural districts and
that there may not be election by Vot-
ers of all tne county, and elections are
provided in a justice of the peace pre-
cinct, which may take in more than in
eOrpOrated cities and towns. This
opens the way for road houses and
other evil places and affords no pro-
lection to the country.
The governors attitude on segrega-
ton was indicated by the close of the
message, stating he was disposed to
believe there should be distinctions
made between rural and urban popula-
tons, as radically different conditions
prevail such as to warrant distinction
and mad the bill observed these dis
tinctions and been free from the de-
feets he might not have objected to
it,
This gives encouragement to segrega-
tionists to word the bill to meet the
objections of the governor and rush it
through.
The governor also vetoed the Burns
anti-boletta bill and an act validating
the relocation of mining claims, and
easement over mining claims. These
were all passed over the veto.
The veto of the classification of the
atrical licenses according to voting
population was sustained unanimously.
