VOICE OP tmb PEOPLE o. a. I'HOI'OSED AMK.VDMK'TS TO STATE CONSTITUTION Amendment three gives the governor power to veto Items in the Law appropriating money for State purposes. This the governor cannot do now, he must veto or approve the whole law. Up to 1921 In nearly every meeting of the Slate Legislature the Appropriation w passed very late just before adjournment of the General Assembly. So the Ooverjior had to approve the whole appropriation law or leave all the state officers and institutions without funds. Good items could not be left In effect and bad ones vetoed. This enabled the members of the legislature to "log roll" and p01": barrel" the appropriation act and deprived the governor of the veto power given to him 'by the state constitution. All the states but eleven now have constitutions permitting their governors to veto items in bills appropriating money for state purposes. D. J. MORAN.
