Governor Blaine has vetoed bin
which provides that the depots must
be kept open for 20 minutes prior TO
the arrival of a train but might be
closed at the time of arrival of spec-
fed trains, hy order OF the railroad
commission. In vetoing This bill the
governor declares mat he believes that
il would be against public policy to
give TO an administrative body the
right TO suspend the policy determined
by the Legislature.
IF the amendment to the law de-
cIared Governor Blaine was what II
perhaps was intended to be-namely
that by order OF the railroad commits
sion depots might be permitted to be
closed for the time sPecihed IN me
section before the arrival OF speclileh
trains-then II would be within the
power Of the commission 10 determine
a public policy In the absence Of leg
islatiye rule, and IN that respect there
would be a delegation OF legislative
power to an administrative body.
"The legislature has determined
that 20 minutes before arrival Of a
passenger train IS reasonable time
during which q depot should be kept
open, and until the legislature deter
mines upon "a general rule respecting
this question, without fixing the actual
time for keeping a depot OPEN | doubt
