4 TIP to JunkIn.
From the office Of the governor there has
issued a statement tina Secretary Of state
Junkin has authority TO disapprove all
claims which go through his hands, but
it is beyond his jurisdiction to write a
legal opinion on the vouchers and then
sign them. It is held in the office Of the
governor that either a claim is right or it
is not right and there is no half way
ground. If the claim is illegal in the
opinion of the secretary OF state it is his
duty to disapprove it, whether it has been
endorsed by the governor or not.
All Of this talk grew out. of the action
of the secretary in approving a voucher
for $500 for mileage books for the gov
ernor, after the secretary had written on
the voucher that it did not seem to be
business like, but as the governor had full
knowledge in the premises he would ap-
prove it.
