Bismarck. N. D., March 12.-Gov-
ernor L. B. HaAa will he compelled
to veto about 800. .06D of the appro-
priations that were made by the legis-
lativc assembly Just closed. Although
he has not been able to make study
OF the appropriations as yet. giving all
OF his time now to the consideration
Of other measures, a hurried survey of
the appropriations bills has resulted in
the announcement from the Eover-
nor's office that the total of $780,
600 in appropriations will have to be
shaved considerably.
ovsI BY the action On. Ct the the assembly in
making the appropriations for the bi.
ennial period really falls upon the
governors shoulders. In exercising
his power Of veto. he can only veto
whole amounts: that is, he cannot
shave an item down, but must veto
the entire item.
School BHf Uncertain.
This task makes the task before
the governor unusnally difficult. One
of the most important bills which 1t
is understood that he is seriously
considering as having to veto is S. B.
81, making appropriations for the
cultural high schools. This bill pro-
vides for an annual appropriation of
$77.bo0 for the coming two years,
while It provides for $4,000 annually
The present appropriations for the
various purposes enumerated Is $45,.
Under the provisions Of this meas.
ure the establishment of two new
agricultural high schools is contem-
plated for this year, while three new
institutions Of that character were to
be established in 1914.
Another bill which 1t is. understood
will be vetoed relates to the public
library commission. being an appro-
priation of $1,000. for the purpose Of
purchasing new books.
A. c. Bill May Suffer.
It is expectedthat some pressure
will be brought to Herr t. bring about
ifhe veto 81 an appropriation for the
Agricultural college Of $4,000; made
during the last day Of the session. II
had been generally understood among
the institution county delegates in the
legislature that no effort would be
made to secure permanent improve
ments for any Of the several educa-
tional institutions. and the action of
the Cass county house delegation in
making fight for the dairy building
appropriation was quite unexpected.
! The appropriations making up the
$l,35O.0OO do not include the state
budget bill. in which measure pro-
vision is made for the expenses of the
various state offices. including SAL
aries, etc, and which bill carries ap.
tproxfmately $6S6,000.
Early in the session there appeared
to be a general desire upon the part
Of the legislators who were closely
identified with the appropriation work
to fight against the possibility of ex-
ceeding the limit. There has been.
almost throughout the session. diff
ference of opinion between the COVER
nor and the legislative appropriation
committee members. as to the amount
that could be safely appropriated.
Governor Hanna has maintained the
view that the appropriations should
not exceed about $1.1O0,000.
