Governor lladley for one reason
has vetoed this bill because it took
away from him the sole power to
appoint to he Commissioner, Alright
which be seems to imagine an in

ii is a self.eyident proposition that
the Legislature in creating an APP

by whom such appointment may

The bill which the Governor We.
toed repealed an immigration law
passed by the previous Legislature
which provided for board of three
commissioners to be appointed by
the Governor and carried an APP
preparation of so, 900. The man

ried on by the commissioners ap.
pointed by Governor Hadley GER
tainly justified the Legislature in
making a change. w. II. John
son, auditor Of the old board, who
surely knew what he was saying,
in letter written last October de-
elared that the board was one in
which politics was more import
ant than immigration;" that the
main purpose of the commissioners
was to create opportunities for
making thinly yelled political
speeches." and that less than 10
per cent of the money expended
was used to advertise the State,
while the other 90 per cent prac'
tically went to bolster mp Hadley S
political machine. MIR. Johnson
resigned the position of auditor be-
canse, as he says. he could not
conscientiously sit silently on the
lid of an eminently bad condition
of affairs because Mr.. Hadley's pc.
litical exigencies seem to require
