OLD H
N HOPPER, READY
FORAC mm
Propositions Halted by Governor's
Veto Awaiting Return of Their
Sponsors in State Legislature.
Salem, Dec. 25.- Even bfefore the
zealous legislators will have had time
to inject their pet hobbies into the
legislative mill which begins its bi
ennial grind the second Monday in
Januaiy, there is already sufficient!
grist in the hopper to keep the law
making machinery grinding - for ; a
few days that is if the legislators
care to devote any time to the resur
rection of buried treasures.
Forty-one bills halted . by the gov
ernor's ' veto in an attempt to run the
gauntlet on the way to the statute
books after the close of the special
session a year ago are patiently await
ing the return, of' their creators and
friehds for the final word that shall
mean resurrection and life even over
the disapproval of Governor .plcott or
ultimate consignments to the f heap of
things dead and gone.
Wl'ST BE RETURNED
f ; Twenty-two of these vetoed bills
found their Inception in the senate
chambers, while the other 19 were
fathered by. members of the lower
house. ' AH 41. according to the dic
tates of the state constitution, must be
sent back to the source from whence
"they originated, for reconsideration. If
a two-thirds vote of the members pres
ent in both houses, at the time the
vote is taken on reconsideration, favor
adoption of the vetoed measures, then
the governor's action is overridden and
the bills become law. Otherwise the
veto stands: .
Of the 41 vetoed bills, 11 were meas
ures designating and locating state
highways and post roads, most of them
riding through the legislature on a
flood of horseplay following Represen
ts . I .... -tln,' t r. 11., U ,.nA. l -1 :
rating a new post road in Malheur
eounty. These 11 the governor charac
terized as "ill. advised and founded on
the wrong principle." .
Ten of the 41 bills met their death

cause of the presence of the emergency
clause In their makeup. .

clared should be delayed pending -. the
report of the special legislative commit

cials. This committee is to report to
the- forthcoming session. Six of them
.were cut down because they were' not
the type of legislation which the gov
ernor believed should have been consid
ered at the special session, two of these
being purely local measures. The title
to. one of the vetoed bills was found to
be faulty, another was regarded as a
violation of the state's constitution, and
