Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. al Gov.
Hooper today sent to the Senate clerk
his veto of the Nashville charter bill.
Gov. Hooper says In his veto meas
ure that the bill while it purports
to be merely an amendment to the
charter of Nashville involves in fact
practically a new form of municipal
government for the city. For this
reason the people Of Nashville were
entitled to an opportunity to register
their wishes In regard to this vitality
important measure"
He further says. "The bill Is inner
entity vicious In many particulars and
is designed for the sole purpose Of in
creasing the power Of a political ma
chine that has not used the power It
now possesses In such q manner as
20 justify the enlargement Of it, pre-
negatives and Jurisdiction"
This brief message he says is writ
ten on the eve Of his departure from
the city in order to comply with the
law restricting the time the Governor
shall hold bill to Eve days and, that
be will state his reasons more fully
when the legislature reconvenes.

of the United States as were estab-
lished in it's decision today as the un.
questioned law of the land. Decis-
ions on other difficult question cues

Among the questions of interstate
commerce decided were these:
That the passenger has no right to
buy tickets with services, advertising,
releases or property, nor can the rail-
road company buy services, advertis-
Ing releases or property with trans
portation.
That State law regulating the size
Of crews on trains within the State Ia
not an obstruction to Interstate CON-
merce, but is rather enacted In aid
OF Interstate commerce and may be
passed by State for public safety.
That the Supreme Court will re-
view the validity of an order of the In
terstate commerce even though the
two year limitation on the life Of the
order has expired.
That railway system may not es-
cape regulation as an instrument Of
interstate commerce because one Of
it's constituent parts Is wharfage
company and its denominating power
over the wharfage company rests in
the fact that it is holding company.
