Yetoes Medical Inspection Act

Columbia, Feb. 17.-Governor
Blease tonight sent in a veto message
on the bill looking to the medical in
spection Of school children. Mr.. Gas
que moved that the message be print
ed in the Journal and that the bill
and the message be referred to the
committee on medical affairs. The
motion overwhelmingly prevailed
This avoided any vote on the question
of sustaining Or overriding the gov
ernor's veto.
Governor Blease, in his veto mes
sage, says the board Of school trus-
tees referred to is vague and indef-
mite. Then Governor Blease continues
by quoting from the bill: Every
school physician shall make prompt
examination and diagnosis of all
school children, students, teachers,
etc."
The Governors Views.
t*Now, gentlemen, this, in my opin-
ion, is taking from the parents Of the
children the right to attend to the
physical condition Of their own chill
dren. I have no children, but if
had a girl and she had some deformity
Or she had some disease, by inherl-
tance, which she could not by associa-
ton communicate to any other chill
dren, and which could not injure any
other child by her being its schoo!
mate, I would consider it most out
rageous intrusion upon my family af'
fairs to have any physician to examine
that child and expose its deformity OF
its condition to the world. All, gen
tlemen, more than that; I would moi
permit it unless I was paralyzed anc
unable to use my physical powers
which God Almighty has given me
and I can not see why you want te
place such an imposition upon the lit
tie children of this State"

NO LEGAL REASON FOR
CAPITAL PLANS CLAIM
Investigating Committee Reports on
Todd CIaim.-GOyernOr Not Re-
sponsible For it.

The house received Friday night the
report of the special committee ap-
pointed to investigate the Todd claim
for s13,550 for preparing plans pro-
posing to enlarge the State house. The
report Of the committee declares that
A. W. Todd acted knowingly without
authority of law in drawing up the
nlans for which he demands pay
ment and that his claim is not based
on legal grounds.
The report was ordered printed in
the journal together with the steno-
graphic copy of the volumnious testi-
mony upon which it is based.
The report is signed by the men,
bers Of the investigating committee:
L. NJ. Gasque, chairman; R. H. Bel
ser, secretary; J. +. Conner; j. H..
Miller and J. W. Boyd.
The findings Of the committee, ap-
pended to a review Of the testimony
and the authority under which the in
vestigation was conducted, are given
below:
"Q). That the members Of the
committee on State house and grounds
who atte; ded an. "f ia" meetings
conducted the important matters with
which they were entrusted with an
absolute disregard of all methods Of
business procedure and without any
effort to keep any proper record Of
their proceedings; and the lack of
such records is serious handicap
to any proper determination Of the is
sues involved.
Verbal Authority.
"(2). That the chairman Of the
committee on State house and grounds
proceeded in this matter without OBJ
tanning any written authority from
the governor, and that whatever YER
bal authority he received was never
transmitted to the committee as a
whole; and that, acting under this
verbal authority from the governor,
the chairman, with the subcommittee
appointed by him, carelessly exceed
ed that authority in engaging an ar
chitect to prepare and prcsn1 plans
and specifications not contemplated
under the resolution from which he
received his authority.
"(3). That Mr.. Todd entered upon
the preparation for the plans for the
ENLARGED State house., and that the
major part of the plans and specii-
cations were prepared by Mr.. Todd
without any proper authority being
given the committee to engage his
services for any purp )se, under the
concurrent resolution passed at the
last session of the legislature; and
that the plans and specifications as
prepared and presented to the meet
ing Of the committee on SepIcnoe'
9th, 1911, were never contenp ate
by the general assembly at the time
of the passage Of the resolution OF
by the committee On State house and
grounds at the time Of the appoint
ment of the subcommittee.
Governors Connection.
"(D. That the only connection the
governor had with this matter, either
before or after his letter of authority
to the chairman on July 26, 1911, and
the alleged verbal authority to Mr.
Bryan during the 1911 session of the
legislature. was at the meeting in his
