VETO FALLS ON BUDGET BILL
President Returns Measure Without
His Approval.

Washington. bill to establish
national budget system was vetoed
June 4 by President Wilson. The
measure was held by the president to
be unconstitutional because it took
from the chief executive the power TO
remove the comptroller general and
the assistant comptroller general, Of
ficers who would be appointed by him
with the advice and consent of the
senate.
The president said he returned the
measure without his approval with
the greatest regret" because he was
Sin entire sympathy with It's objects. ("
He added that he returned 1t at the
earliest possible moment with the
hope that the congress may find time
before adjournment to remedy this
defect"

COURTS DECISION
HITS HOPE OF VETS
CONSTITUTIONAL PROPOSALS
CAN NOT BE SUBMITTED
FOR RATIFICATION.
Action Of Legislature In Ratification
Of the Dry Law is Final, and Ef-
forts Of Vets to overturn De-
clsion Comes to Nauaht.

Washington. The supreme court IN
unanimous opinion on June /, held
that federal constitutional amend
ments cannot be submitted to popular
vote for ratification by states having
referendum provisions in their con-
stitutions.
The method of ratifylng amend
ments, the court held. Is national
power specifically granted by the
federal constitution and the states
have no authority to provide other
wise. In so holding, the court de-
clared imperative provisions Of the
Ohio state constitution authorizing
submission of federal amendments TO
referendum for ratification, and
overturned state supreme court de-
crees dismisslng injunction proceed
ings In taxpayers suit to enjoin
submission Of the prohibition and wo-
mans suffrage amendments to a
referendum vote,
Next TO the cases involving the
validity of the prohibition amendment
anu tire ehlorecbhehtt Ahc pilo WILT
endum cases were considered the most
important before the supreme court.
The decision does not affect the pend
ing prohibition cases.
The courts opinion, however, puts
an end to any controversy as to
whether Ohio has ratified both amend
ments and puts Ohio definitely In the
list of states approving each Of the
amendments.
Power to ratify federal amend
amendment, according to the courts
opinion, which was rendered by As
sociate Justice Day, Is derived from
the federal constitution and state
has no authority TO designate the
means of ratification.

CONGRESS TAKES AN
!. EXTENDED VACATION

CLOSE WITHOUT SPEC
TABULAR FEATURES.
Important Legislation Enacted Include

tion Act, Oil Leasing, Anti

gress ended its second session on June
5, adjourning sine die at p. m. Un-
less a grave emergency arises which
makes necessary special session, it
will not meet again until December 8.
The close of the session was marked
by none of the hectic rush that gem
orally attends getaway of congress,
but there was the usual applauding
and cheering in the house after
Speaker Gillett's gavel had released
the members for the first long vaca-
ton since the United States entered
the war.
The house cleaned up its work early
and twice recessed to await possible
senate action on pending measures,
The senate remained in continuous
session. AS the result Of filibuster,
the bill to establish a national budget
system failed of passage.
Final sessions of both houses passed
without the plethora of political
speeches which had been expected.
Just at the finish in the house Repre-
sentative Mondell of Wyoming, the Re
publican leader, delivered an address
praising congress for the work ac-
complished. Representative Garrett,
Democrat Tennessee, replied that this
congress had been a "humiliating
| failure"
President Wilson's criticism of con-
gress in his telegram to the heads of
| the brotherhoods passed without COM
ment in either house.
Practically the only action by the
house during the closing day was to
pass the budget bill after amending it
to meet the presidents objection that
1t took from the executive authority
to remove the comptroller general and
assistant comptroller general.
Republican leaders abandoned their
plan to call for vote on the resolu-
ton refusing President Wilson'S re.
quest for authority to accept a man.

After looking over the much.miyp5
situation, with its lack of head and
leadership, the men whose influence
counts in the party councils have come
to the conclusion that about the best
way out is to let the candidates with
the largest number of supporters trOt
few heats to show the convention
what they can do. Those fayOring
this plan feel perfectly certain that
none of the candidates will be nomn-
ated on the test ballots.
After the three leading candidates
have demonstrated to the convention
that they have not enough votes to
nominate themselves, ii is argued that
the delegates will be in better position
to determine whether they prefer TO
combine on one of the three or look
at some dark horses.
Announcement of the selection Of
temporary officers of the Republican
national convention to be elected by
the convention was made by the sub.
committee on arrangements on Satur-
day.
The selections are: Chairman,
