GOVERNOR CLEANING
UPS''tAST OF BIG LIST
.. @':sNEW LEGISLATION
Appropriations Bills and Sunday
Baseball Measure Most I'm
p0rtant Left

Governor Frazier is fast getting out
from under the mountain of bills
which the legislature piled upon him
during the closing days. Very few
important measures remain for his
important appropriation bills, and
there is very serious question as to-
how some of them will fare. The gov
ernor has not yet signed the general
appropriation bill. S. B. 1876, and, in
asmuch as he has power to veto any
separate item in this measure, it is
anticipated that the oldest friend of
1885" will not know it when it stag
gers into the secretary of states Of
flee Saturday. IT,. H., A. - 3#,"
Young America is wondering what
the governor intends to do with Sen.
ate Bill 1877, Senator Hamilton's Sun
day baseball legalizer. The governor
has discussed this measure with the
press without gritting his teeth or
evidencing any visible signss5o pain,
but he has given no indication as, to
it's ultimate fate. In the meanwhile
the kids are threatening dire things,
if the governor plays them false.
And ten years hence these kids will
have some voting powers &FEs -
Dickinson is much perturbed over
the governors attitude toward the
Dickinson normal appropriation. AS
the appropriation finally went through
it calls for the levying Of only $751; 900
this year, and 100000 next year
Dickinson hoped that with this doc
toring the governor would leave this
item in the general appropriation bill.
To date, however, the governor has
given the several Dickinson delegac
lions which have called on him little
satisfaction.
Many Bills Signed.
