when results were obtained, they

Fruitless Anti-VetO Victory

In spite of the passage of that
penal code over the governor
veto at an expense of about $4,000
or $4,000 appropriation to prolong
the session so the legislature
could continue until he had taken
action on it, the measure will not
go into effect. at least until No
vember, 1914. Those wise states
men who considered that they
were accomplishing a great coup
by prolonging the session for five
days at the expense of the tax
payers in order to compel him to
act before they adjourned were
not so wise as they thought.
The measure was passed with
out the emergency clause and is
therefore under the provision of
the referendum, which certainly
will be invoked, and as an cleo
ton cannot be held on it until the
next regular election all the pow
ers given to the chief executive
under the constitution can be eX-'
ercised until then, and the peo-
pie have passed on it just the
same as though no law was passed
This is only one sample of the
useless expenditure of money by
the legislature. A record of 200
days session at an expense of
about $3.50, 1000 for legislation
shows either incompetency or
something worse on the part of
the members. To become con-
WINGED that incompetency was
shown, one need only have visit
ed the chambers while in session
and witnessed the haggling for
hours over some petty measure
that should never have been in
troduced. and which, if intro
duced should have been disposed
of within fifteen minutes.
1t would be unjust to accuse
the members of loafng or of not
putting in their time at their
work. They were a hard working
body of men. Of that there can
be no doubt. But their work was
of such nature that no results
