Objects to Clinic Being Penitentiaiy
II cannot conceive" says the gov
ernor in his message on the veto Of
the Woman's Industrial Home land
Clinic, chow an institution erected
and maintained as Is the Woman's
Industrial Home and Clinic can he
used for incarcerating women con-
victed of ordinary crimes. am ad-
vised by the attorney genera that
when the institution is filled to ca
pacity preference should be given to
the women sentenced by the courts
to serve time. Therefore this be-
comes primarily a penitentiary and
defeats the work it was supposed
to do. II this were penitentiary 1t
would necessitates building a wall
around the premises and Employing
guards, for which purpose here is no
appropriation"
The attorney general is quoted by
the governor as stating the regular
appropriation made for his office Is
sufficient therefore the $4,000 for
rate hearings is vetoed.
Vetoes Of 10 charitable institutions
which were given an aggregate Of
100000 and for the $4,000 item
for the Children's Orthopedic Hos
pital were made, because the gov
ernor says while each Of these in
situations is doing splendid work, a
self-sacrifcing work, yet they are in
no sense state institutions or any
branch of the state government. No
persons property should be taken
from him under the guise of taxation
except for the support Of the state
government and institutions and
these items cannot properly be charg-
ed to the general fund of the state
which is raisd for specific purposes
of supporting the state"
Although the state university
needs new steam and water pipes for
the campus distributing system to
replace the temporary pipes laid dur
ing the Alaska YukOn-Pacific EXPOSE
ton the governor believes the work
can be done through some sacrifice
without adding $S0S,250 to the gen.
eral fund.

ated $4,000 for dairy building
at the state college. In the omnibus
