Three 1941 Legislative Bill?
Killed by Governor's jVeto;
Trio of Measures Sighed
Liquor License Appeal Act, Pensions
for Circuit Judges, Reinstatement i
of Jobs, Meet With Disapproval
Vetoes by Gov. Charles A. Sprague Monday; killed j the 1941
legislature's bills granting right of appeal from state liqjuor com-
mission license rulings and providing a retirement system for
. supreme court and circuit judges. i j
' The liquor appeal bill also
... would have enabled persons
whose licenses were - revoked or
suspended to secure injunctions
against the commission.
"Adoption of this measure
would effectively vitiate the con
t trol of the liquor control - com
mission in administering the laws
. governing traffic in alcoholic bev
t erages," Gov. Sprague's veto mes
sage read.
"It denials of license, suspen-
sions and revocations of licenses
' are to be subject to the delays -and
.uncertainties of the circuit
court appeals and jury trials on
the basis of procedure estab
lished la this bill, then the
strongest instrument of control
deprivation of license, Is sad
ly blunted. .
, , , ( "Fear of being, put out of busi
ness for, lackf of license is a pow
,' erfyj discipline in the liquor trade
'and it' applies from the person
running a beer parlor to the sales
man selling hard liquors to the
commission.
Sees Possible Mistakes
Gov. Sprague said he realized
that the present powers of the
commission are broad and that
mistakes of judgment occur.
"But I believe," Gov. Sprague
.said, "the path of progress lies
in the improvement of the ju
dicial process within the ad
ministrative agency rather than
by transferring the burder to the
circuit courts of the state"
A third veto was directed at ,
a senate bill having! to do with
the reinstatement . in jobs of
public employes and officials
called Into military service.
Gov. Sprague said much of the
subject matter in this bill was
contained in a house measure
which he already has approved.
Under the judges' retirement
measure beneficiaries who had
served more than 17 consecutive
s years and had reached the age of
69 years would have been sub
ject to retirement on a maximum
allowance of $200 a month Provi
sion also was made in the bill
for the retirement of judges who
became incapacitated after serv
ing six years.
The judges would have paid 3
per cent of their salaries into the
retirement fund.
Gov. Sprague referred to the
proposed retirement plan as a
"piecemeal"' program.
"The legislative assembly hav
ing failed to adopt a general plan
for retirement of all public em
ployes I cannot with consistency j
approve the present measure,
Gov. Sprague declared in his veto
message. "I have a high regard
for the justices and judges now
serving the state, but in view of
the fact that the salary scale of
judges is the highest of any group
and the tenure the most secure,
preference for them in a retire
ment system is difficult to jus
tify." Gov. . Sprague said that while
th rtirpmnt nrnnosal might re-
suit in an immediate saving
through the retirement of non-
acting but salary-drawing judges,
this situation would be tempor-
-
ary.
"The probability is that the
cost of the system to the state
would be considerably greater
than that contemplated," the
veto message continued. . "The
maximum annual income to the
retirement fund when in opera
tion would be less than $8000
which would provide full pen
sions on the scale authorized
to only three persons.
) . l'InM4oteittlatitais bill would
allow a judge to retire, if inca- j
pacitated, after only six years of
service. This is uncommonly gen
erous. I know of no retirement
system, either public or private,
where a person, after six years
service and a total contribution
of 3 per cent of his salary for
the period can retire on the com
fortable stipend of $200 a month
for the remainder of his life."
Bills signed included:
HB 263. by Lage Relating to the op
eration of motor vehicles.
HB 536. by Joint ways and means
committee To provide lor the ex
penses of the executive department
and appropriating funds therefor.
SB 190. by. Childs To provide for
forest products research laboratory, to
be operated in connection with the
state forestry department, and appro
priating $25,000 therefor.
SB 294. by mining committee To
provide for establishment of a spec
trographic -laboratory, in connection
with mining industry, and appropriate
f 10,000 therefor. ,

Italian and Danish ships to pro

In Italy, the Italian radio said
it was an unjustified, j far from
peaceful action, but the subject
was subordinated by the press in
its welcome to Yosuke Matsuoka,
the Japanese foreign minister,
wha by extraordinary coincidence
arrived in Rome in time to note
the Italian defeat at sea just as
he had arrived in Berlin at the
moment when the Yugoslavs were
going through their initial rebel
lion against joining the axis pact
There was continued; specula

events, that he is being urged to
put Japan actively into the war
against Britain.

On the military side, the day's
principal developments were
these:3
In Africa British ) imperial
forces were declared to. be driv

Ethiopia in general advances de
signed soon to end the Africa
campaign. The Italians spoke of
heavy losses on both sides.
In the west, the British re
