tonal Northumberland Says
Blanket Bills Tie His Hands.

Madison.-After signing the bill ap.
propriating $S,OOO,OOO to the state uni
versity and state normal schools dur
ing the coming two years, Gov. Mccoy
ern sent a special message to the leg
islature urging it to adopt resolution
for constitutional amendment which
would enable the governor to veto spe-
cial Items in appropriation bills. Under
the constitution as it now stands the
governor has power only to approve or
veto an appropriation bill and cannot
approve some of its items and veto
others. The practice followed by the
Legislature of including in meritorious
appropriation bills many items that
are Objectionable, in the opinion of the
governor, he says, simply ties the
hands OF the executive and he practi-
cally has no alternative except to ap-
prove OF the appropriations as a whole.
In view of the fact that the legislature
has appropriated nearly $25,000,00O
this session and included four-fifths
OF 1t IN blanket bills, the governors
communication was received by the
two houses of the legislature with deep
interest.
