STORY OF THE CASE


According to an opinion Of the su-
preme court of the state Of Montana
delivered last Friday by Chief Justice
Lew L. Galloway, and Associate JUS
tees 4. J. Galen and A. P. Stark, the
general appropriations made by the
Montana legislature Of 1923 were held
invalid, on the grounds that Governor
Joseph VI. Dixon had reduced the
amounts of the appropriation bills on
a percentage basis without authority,
and that his signing Of the bills had
nullified the whole bill. Associate
Justice ". L. Holloway wrote at the
bottom of the decision: 81 dissent"
but ne did not deliver a dissenting
opinion giving his reasons for failing
TO agree with his fellow jurists.
Associate Justice c. H. Cooper is
absent from the state. The court
let it be known that the decision, ar
.ived at several days ago, was held
up in the hope that Justice Cooper
would be able to return in a day or
two, but that it had finally delivered
the decision in his absence, because
the court desired not TO keep the mat
! ter in suspense longer.
Governors Effort Fails
Thus the attempt OF The governor
to cut off 100000 from the appropri-
aticns made by the legislature, and
bring the expenses of the state gov
ernnent within its revenues, has fail
ed.
The supreme court, by divided vote
Of three to one, held that the veto
power Of the governor given by the
constitution does not permit a per-
centage cut in legislative appropria-
tions. holding that the governor must
approve appropriations made by the
/ legislature either as a whole or by
vetoing in their entirety the parts
of appropriation bills passed by the
Legislature.
During the last legislative session,
Governor Dixon, by special message,
warned the assembly that the apprO-
priations being made would far ex-
ceed the revenues for the coming
biennium, but despite the warning, the
legislature proceeded to pass appro'
Driation bills for the maintenance OF
