Among Sixteen Measures
Pocket Vetoed by
Governor Leslie.

Having refused to sign the per-
manent registration bill and the
only two measures which organized
labor had awaiting his signature,
Governor Harry G.. Leslie left his
statehouse labors and today is en-
route to Florida for a yacht trip
off the Keys.
Saturday night was deadline for
bill signing. The Governor let
sixteen measures die by pocket
veto," due to his failure to sign
them.
In the case of the individual in
come and permanent registration
bills, he issued statements explain
ing his stand. Nothing was said by
the chief executive regarding the
labor bills. But during the legis-
lative session, Leslie vetoed the anti
yellow dog contract bill passed
through the efforts of Indiana state
federation Of labor lobbyists.
Wage Measure Lost
Labor bills that the Governor
pocket-vetoed had the same back
ing. One was an anti-injunction bill
taking from the courts the power
to issue blanket injunctionS in la
Dor disputes and the other estab-
liShed a minimum wage, CORE
spending with that of the loca,
community for all state contract
construction work,
No reason was given by Leslie fol
his failure to sign these measures
although he has never been ratec
as friend of labor"
In his statement regarding the
pocket veto of the permanent
registration bill, he cited his stanc
for permanent registration as stated
in his annual message to the legis-
lature. The statement then declared
that the bill passed didn't measure
up to the requirements of a meas
ure which must "be simple arlc
inexpensive to operate"
az can not see my way clear tx
burden the entire state with 8
highly expensive registration Law
in order to meet the situation in 9
few congested areas of the state,
the statement continued.
1.-THE proposed registration Law
would also work in direct contra
vention of one of the best acts OF
the last legislature, which prohib-
it's any increase in the budgets OF
1931-1932 over that of $780,"
Backed by Women
Under the bills provisions the
clerk of the circuit court was to be
the registration officer, assisted by
the township assessors. It was a
Democratic platform measure and
was strongly urged for a compe-
tent registration law by the Indi-
ana League of Women Voters.
The league got a somewhat SIM
liar measure through the 1923 leg
islative session and it was also
pocket vetoed by Governor Leslie.
The leagues disappointment in
the governors action was expressed
in a statement sent to all local
branches Of the organization from
state headquarters today.
Defending the pocket-vetoed
measure as economical and effec-
tive in curbing election frauds, the
statement said I'm view of the
widespread demand for this legis-
lation as expressed in the over
whelmingly favorable vote in both
branches of the general assembly,
the legislative committee Of the
league finds it difficult TO find an
explanation for the Governors ac-
ton"
