action in vetoing large appropria-
uon measures, and this Is being
evidenced by the daily letters and
kilograms that are reaching the
chief executive. The governor
was elected on a pledge of econ
omy and he intends keeping that
regardless of how it may affect
his future political career, because
he believes in keeping his promise
to the people. He knows he Is
the legislative members, but he
compared with the ill will of the
people OF the state. And another
thing he believes in practicing
busiIN IS methods in the conduct of
state affairs. He thinks it unnec-
essary to make an appropriation Of
over a half million dollars to finish
the Temple of Justice. when this
can be just as well taken care of
in the bill which passed the sem
ate this week providing for bond
issue Of $4,00O,00O covered by the
proceeds from the sale of state
public lands, for the erection Of
state capitol buildings. And the
people will coincide with the gov
ernor in his action.
The governor Topped off nearly
a million dollors from the omnibus
appropriation bill, his vetoes being
as follows:
For completion of Temple
of Justice ...... ....$551,75O
Maintenance at Cheney Nor
NAL school ...... -. $4,000
