Show THAT VETO WAS RIGHT WE endorse the action of president harrison Har rleon in vetoing the bill passed by congress iu in relation to land claims his hie objections to the measure were well taken there is no need to transfer land disputes from the land office department to the courts the latter are as a rule loaded up with other business without wishing to east cast any ADY reflection upon the judiciary we are satisfied that the people especially the poorer classes of them teem feel safer aster to leave the adjustment of disputed claims claim in the hands of the land office which has of late years been conducted efficiently and fairly if land claim disputes were to go into the courts in place of being adjusted as at present moneyed claimants would have tuni tunit ties les to cause cases to drag their slow length along until the poorer contestants on the other side were worn out by waiting and large expenditures tures wah h they might be unable to meet besides all this the land office department has to deal exclusively with land questions those having their attention thus centralized are much more capable of comprehending cases of this character than officials whose duties are more adverse and multifarious it appears that a prominent objection to the bill was the ty of its terms 1 this is a fatal objection to a y measure legislative acts should above all ot other her statements be clear clea r concise and specific that they may afford no opening or warrert for strained and diverse judicial construction there is in no need for the change the bill was intended to create and there fare the president did a wise thing when be killed it |
