In Lengthy Message Gov ernor States Objections to Bill and EXcOriates Those Who Have Opposed His Policies

The veto of Governor Hunt against house bill l. the penal code was disre- earded yesterday afternoon by both houses of the legislature and the bill passed over his head. This is the sec ond time since he has held the most important office in Arizona that the representatives and senators have de- cided his judgment is less We1ghty than theirs and have decided that an enactment of the legislature must be- come d law, his disapprOVal notwith- standing
 This is the second time the penal code has met with the veto of Governor Hunt. The first time was toward the close of the last session, when he ve- toed the bill because it restricted his power relative to pardons and re- prieyes. The especial amendment at that time that met with gubernatorial displeaSure. was known as the KeltOn amendment, and limited any reprieve To ninety day and only then upon the discovery of new evidence. Unless this could be established, and the governor was to so state in his proclamation of reprieve or pardon, the sentence of the courts of the state was to stand.
 In this case the objection is to the section in the penal code known the board of pardons and paroles section. This section takes the pardOning and reprieVing. communication and parole power out of the hands of the gover- nor and places it in the hands of board composed of the superintendent of public instruction, the attorney gen. eral and one citizen member to be cho- sen by them. Thus the governor will have no jurisdiction over the board. To this section the Governor objected and against it he again hurled the veto, which was read in both houses yester- day afternoon.
 The governor stated that the control ling purpose of the measure was not the ends of justice, nor the establish ment of the people in their right to rule, but that the controlling purpose was actuated solely by prejudice; that the section is "a makeshift, piece meal, patchwork, statute in which petty ani- mus is revealed by unusual wording, and that a serious sociological subject is treated in a manner crude, unscien- tific and of questionable sincerity
 Neither respect for the office I hold consideration for the dignity of the state. or the desire which all ArizOn- ans should share, to see Arizona prog ress rather than retrogress, will per init me to lend either my approval or quiscent consent to the enactment of q specimen of legislation so obviously ill advised, i'll cOpsidered, and reaction ary," says the governor merely by way of starter.
 He then proceeds in a lengthy mes sage which took the reading clerks the better part of an hour to read to take the hide off of all and sundry who have had any dealings with the proposition 10 pass the penal code in any such a manner.
