MEASURES THAT HAVE Been Vetoed
VETO

j, VETO
|. .-.. March II, 1913.
TO the Honorable, the Secretary OF
State: 43
l file herewith
House Bill No. 25s
An Act to Limit Tax Levies During
the Years of 1913 and 1914, to Re-
strict Debt Limits; and to Regulate
Salaries OF, Officers, which, Under
Existing Laws, Depend Upon AS
sessed Valuation. ......
Without my APPROVAL for the following
: reasons: n.
1t is proposed under this act to
limit the amount that may be levied
in 1913 by the State Board of Equal
~ization for certain purposes to not
more than 1O5 per cent of the amount
that was levied in the year 1912 and
for the year 1914 to not more than
no. per cent of the amount levied
in 1912.
In the case OF the glandered horse
fund it would be extremely difficult
to take care Of the cases presented
to the State Auditing Board for set
Element for glandered horses and to
meet the requirements of this pro-
posed law.
Further, in Section 5 Of this pro.
posed act, the debt limit Of munich
palities in this state shall not be in
creased in 1913 and 1914 more than
ten per cent of that now fixed by law
on the basis of that fixed in 1912. The
idea Of this act is that the assessed
valuation of property in the state
may be materially raised and at the
same time provide some safeguard
to hold down the salaries of officers,
the amount of levies that might be
made and the debt limit Of municipali-
ties. .- ,...r.
do not believe that Section ) would
be held constitutional by the courts
for the reason that the constitution
or this state specifically states as to
what the debt limit Of municipalities
may be and If the valuation of the
state were raised to the true value
of the property, it vpuld of necessity
raise the debt limit of municipali-
ties. a "a. }#:
Believing this proposed act is not
in accord with public policy, that it
would be a hard law to work under,
and that the good which it is intend
ed to do would not be overcome by
the many features in the law which

cent deduction is that every bank
has a certain amount of outstanding

the bank is assessed upon its capital

only fair that a reasonable amount
should be allowed to be deducted
