Show pMANY BILLS AWAITING I ACTION OF GOVERNOR I More Than ISO Measures Rushed Through Dur- ing Closing- Hours of Legislature, Many s Neither Read Nor Considered !vMl hundrel and iorty-seven house J I and sonata bills and half a doi yl en resolutions and memorials are before Governor William Spry for Ms approval or veto Moro than half of them -were crammed thro gU during the last txentyfo r hoirs of ( the legislative session Few of thorn i were read except by title but the law j makers gaily passed them and passed 5 the buok to the ko ernor Both houses 3 seem willing to pass any bill to please a fellow legators or personal friends J and to let the jtovernor discover wheth er the proposed laws are worth while j or vloloua. Syv- 0 til9 KTeat mass of bills In the gov V'ercor a hands fully 100 of them were l sent to him at the last minute, so to 1 I speak of the session. ' Vstonishing Feature. p It was indeed an astonishing feature i of this legislature that it seemed eager S to pass every bill at the last minute, instead of lull them as la customary j i with most legislatures S This was particularly true of the sen 8 ate, whieh passed everything offered i from the house during the last days n and on the day of adjournment resir S rested groups of bills which had preM ouslybeen hilled by adverse sifting I committee reports and rushed them to ' passage. k With one or two exceptions notably j the general appropriations bill none of ' these measures was read except by title 1 and on many of the measures the legis I) lators probably did not know what they S were voting lor a Bills were plucked from the foot of i the calendars and made special orders and bills killed by elimination of the i enacting clauses were reconsidered and placed on final passage Anything to Please i A senator would say It has been ( discovered that we have killed an im t portant measure that should pass It is j number so and-eo The bill would be J dug from the grave and passed, after a i reading of the title, at the suggestion 1$ of the discerning legislator who dis J eovered simultaneously its importance J and Its demise. j? The governor has ten days in which ij to consider the great pile of bills be- fore him. He must sign of veto them 5 within that time or they automatically C become laws. It is customary for the N governor to go over all bills carefully i with the attorney general before acting on them and these officials are assured of a busy week Since some of the bills h were passed in such haste by the legis if l&ture the governor will be obliged to give every measure an extra careful I scrutiny ) Among the most important Bills which i await the governor s action are senate SiH No 50 the prohibition bill senate 5 bill No 250 the general appropriations bill and house bill No 0 the Initiative and referendum bill Following is a complete list of the bills la the governor s 1 ajids &T3NATK BILLS Senate bill No 50 by Wootton Fro vldlng for s ate wide prohlbltlo In 1919 be ate bl 1 No 250 by Jo nt approprla tlo 8 con mlttee The general approprla tlons b II Senate bill No 187 by Craig Revising the fish and game laws senate bl 1 No 135 bv Hansen Author islng the (to ernor to convey a right of wai o e e ate prison grounds Senate bl 1 No 838 by Wight Relat Int, to tl e reg atrat on of warrants on the reservoir land grant fund Senate bUI No. 39 by Wight Re at tng to the investment of redemption funds Senate bill No, 331 by Wight Relating to notice of the sa e of timber and pub lie land Senate bill No US by Rldeout Creat Ing a commission to study the Question of employers liability and worklngmens compensat on Senate bill No 106 by Ches Relating to security of accounts under building contracts Senate bt 1 No. 64 by Rldeout Provid Ing for the creation of farmers' land bank.
