Oar Governors and Voters.

The period during which a Governor may hold without signing or vetoing a bill passed by the Legislature varies in the several States. In New York, California, Kentucky, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Texas and Missouri it is ten days; in Mary- ( land it is six; in Alabama, Georgia,l Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska,‘ Nevada, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, New Hampshire, Tennessee, Oregon, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia and New Jersey it is five, and in Kansas, Connecticut, Indiana, lowa, South Carolina, Minnesota and Wisconsin it is three days. In Ohio the Governor has no veto power. With the extension of the system of biennial sessions to thir-ty-nine of the forty-five States, the number of bills passed and requiring the consideration of the executive has been much reduced and the labors of the Governors in these States have been lightened' correspondingly.
