the bill appropriates ariates about of wh which cil ell over is lor jor the payment of fees of united states marshals and general and special deputy marshals earned during the current fiscal year and their incidental e expenses tile appropriations made in in the bill are needed to carry on the operations ot the government and to fulfil fulfill its obligations for the payment of monny money long iong since due its officers for services v and expenses essential to the execution of their duties under the laws of or the united sta tes the necessity for the these se ap wap pr 6 pria riat t ion lon lons ions s is so urgent and they leve have been already aa long delayed that if the bill before begore me contained no permanent and legal legislation with these appropriations it receive my prompt approval it contains however provisions which materially change and by mth fth implication repeal the important parts pacts of or laws jaws for the regulation of ca united states elections these laws jaws have for several years past been the subject of vehement political controversy and have been pronounced as unnecessary oppressive and teacon n neon on the other hand it lias has been main lil ili oqual equal zeal and earnestness that the election laws are indispensable to fair and lawful elec elee tiene tlene and are clearly warranted by the constitution under these circumstances to attempt in the appropriation bill at modification or jepeal of these laws haws so as to annex a condition to the passage of needed and proper appropriations which tends to deprive deprie c the executive of that equal and independent exercise of discretion and judgment which the constitution contemplates the objection to the abill therefore to which I 1 respectfully ask your attention is that it gives marked and deliberate sanction attended by no circumstances of pressing s necessity to questionable and as is I 1 am clearly of the opinion dangerous practice of tacking upon appropriation bills general and permanent legislation this tills practice opens wide avide the door to hasty inconsiderate and sinister legislation it invites attacks upon the independence and constitutional powers of the E executive becu by providing an easy and effective elve olve way of constraining executive discretion although of late this practice has been resorted to by all political parties when clothed with power it did not prevail until 40 years after the adoption of the constitution ution and it is confidently believed it is condemned by the enlightened t judgment of the country states which have adopted constitutions during the last quarter ol 01 oga a century have generally provided remedies many of them have enacted that no law jaw shall contain more than one subject which shall be plainly expressed in its title the constitutions of more than half the states stats contain do kitain substantially this p provision r or some come other of like in interest ter ten and meaning the public iv welfare elfare will be toe promoted 1 in I many ways by a return to the early practice of the tile government and to the true mode of legislation which is that every measure should stand upon its own merits I 1 nm am firmly convinced that appropriation bills ou ought lit not to coil contain tain any legislation not liot relative to the application or expenditure of money thereby appropriated and that by strict adherence to tills this principle an important and much needed reform will be accomplished placing my iny objection to therill on this feature of its frame I 1 forbear any comment upon the important general and permanent legislation which it contains as a matter of specific and independent consideration inan imon 81 0 nebi 1 rutherford B HAYES
