STATEMENT ON LEGISLATIVE
 ACTION

acting on the principle of ma jority rule even tho their ma jority was contrary to the one in the House of which you were a part. I rerognize that real sub- stantial progress toward self government has been accom- plished for which I suppose the "concensus of opinion" must be given credit.

mental principles of the limited power conferred upon the Terri torial assembly. For instance, it is not believed that the assembly has the power to impeach and remove from office any officer whose appointment is vested in the governor. And some of the authority to be conferred upon the attorney general would seem to be inconsistent with the ex- ercise of executive power by the governor. It is proposed that the attorney general may bring suit to test the validity of any law, proclamation, or regulation, either to restrain or impel the enforcement tn CT e of, which seems to contemplate that he may bring the governor or oth- CT officers into court to compel or restrain the enforcement of any law, and that he may at tack any proclamation or regu- lation issued by the governor. This presents an opportunity for unwholesome strife in the executive department and is in effect a transfer of paramount authority lodged in the govern or in the performance of execu- tive duties. As to the executive head the governor is supposed to speak the final word for that de- partment in respect to admins trative matters under his con- trol, subject to the supervisory power of the Secretary of the Interior.
 While there are probably oth- CT objectionable features in the proposed bill, it is believed that the above observations show sufficient reasons for the exer- else of the veto power by the governor if such measure should be passed by the assem- bly,, and, if finally passed over the veto, then for disapproval thereof by Congress under the power reserved by section 20 of

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, September 40
Discovery that intercity buses operated
by nine companies were in faulty oper-
ating condition and did not comply with
Maryland State rules was made by the
Public Service Commission as result
OF an inspection conducted following
another accident to q bus on the Wash
ington- Baltimore boulevard in which
two people were injured.
The accident was ascribed to q faulty
steering gear. The commissions tnspec-
tors, 1t was said, found that practically
eyery bus they examined had one defect
or another which would prevent abso-
lutte compliance with the regulations.
Defects Found.
Among defects found were faulty stop
lights, speedometers, emergency doors
hard to close, no permit displayed, q
portable aisle seat blocking an emer-
gency door and no fire extinguisher.
In letter sent by j. L. Wickes. trans
portation engineer, to each OF the BUS
companies the violations were listed and
the companies directed to correct the
trouble Immediately.
SuOoCAuCIlO hAoRNSVeOAAo oAAO"
that violations still exist, the permit for
each vehicle at fault will be summary
revoked" Mr.. Wickes warned.
The commissioners are inclined to be-
lieVe that the time Of an hour and IS
minutes for the Greyhound and People S
Rapid Transit lines and one hour and
As minutes for the Nevin buses between
Washington and Baltimore was too fast,
considering the amount OF road con-
struction under way on the boulevard.
The Public Service Commission will
not set any specific schedule of run
ming time, according to Stewart Purcell,
a member Of the commission, in charge
Of bus transportation.
Mr.. Purcell said that the inspectors
OF the commission have not completed
their check on establishing a safe and
lawful running time. This check IL
being carried on throughout the State
and will not be completed for several
weeks, he said.
Will Fix Minimum.
After the investigation has been COM
pleted the commission will establish
minimum running time over the vari-
Gus routes, but the matter Of fixing
schedules will be left entirely with the
companies themselves.
This body does not intend to ar
bitrarily tell any motor bus operator
what schedule ne must maintain on
any route" Mr. Purcell said. I'VE will
establish what we believe to be a mini
mum running time between fixed points
which will be within the law as far as
speed regulations are concerned, but
will permit the various companies to
establish their own schedules. either on
that time or on some time in excess Of
that"
