A WRONG_RDLING
Col. T. W. Alexander on Parliamentary
Rules of Georgia Legislature.
VOTE WHEN GOVERNOR’S VETO
Is To Be Over-Kidden Should Not be Two
Thirds of “All Members Elected.”
Simple Majority.
On the subject of the ruling in the
legislature by which it was decided
that a two-thirds vote of “all members
elected’* was required to pass a
measure over the governor’s veto,
Col. T. W- Alexander, is certain that
it was wrong.
He has made some researches in
parliamentary law, and finds ample
proof and precedent for his statement.
An interview with him was published
in Friday’s Atlanta Journal, but in it
he did not give anything like so un
answerable an argument as in the in
teiview a Tribuna reporter had with
him as follows:
“In the interview published in the
Journal last night, I referred but to one
case reported in the acts of 1860, at page
205, which is the choice ctse. Since
that time I have examined other cases,
to wit: In the acts of 1859, page 366 7,
by a vote of the house over-riding the
governor’s veto, a bill was passed, by 78
votes against the veto and 12 in favor of
it. In the senate there were 51 votes
against the veto and 20 in favor of it.
“In the acts of 1860, page 135 7, the
house, by a vote of 101 to 13, and the
senate, by a vote of 57 to 19, decided
against the veto.
“In the acts of 1860, page 216 17, the
house, by a vote of 75 to 39, and the
senate, by a vote of 69 to 16, decided
against the veto.
“In the acts of 1860, page 27-8. the
heuse, by a vote of 110 to 7, and the
senate, by 95 to 10, passed a bill over the
veto.
“It will be seen by reference to this
action there was not, at any time, as
many as twc>thirds of the actual m m
bersbip of either house, cast in favor of
over-riding the veto. In several of them,
there was not even one half of the mem
bership of either house cast against the
veto, and yet it was held that the vote
was sufficient to over-ride the veto.
“The same thing is true in reference
to an act passed in 1861. See the acts
of that year, page 35.
“The constitution of the state of Geor«
gia, in force, in 1859 and 1860, and the
constitution of Georgia in the year 1861,
1868, 1877, used about the same language
touching the executive veto. The con
stitution of the United States is substan
tially to the same effect. In congress,
the rule is, that two-thirds of those vot
ing can over-ride the executive veto,
without referonce to the number of mem
bers ; the language being substantially the
same in the constitution of Georgia, the
same rule should be applied.
“There in a well settled rule of cdu
struction, which declares whenever the
judiciary has passed upon a bill or a sec
tion of the constitution, that rule becomes
a law of the land unless the legislature
or subsequent conventions change the
construction.
“The five cases reported in reference
to the action of the Georgia legislature
fixed the rule of construction. Since
1859 there have been three constitu
tional conventions, one in 1861, one
in 1863, one in 1877, all of these con
ventions have adopted the same lan
guage touching the executive veto
without changing the construction
put upon the constitution as it stood
in 1859 and 1860. It follows, therefore
as a mstter of course, that these sev
eral conventions recognized the con -
struction put upon the constitution
as it stood in 1859 and 1860, by the
legislature of those years, and is a
declaration in favor of that construc
tion. The actions of the constitu
tional convention is more solemn and
more binding than the acts of legisla
tures. And hence, when there were
three conventions in Georgia, adopt
ing the same language in the consti
tution which they made, they adopt
ed the construction which had been
placed by the legislature upon the
former constitution. By the consti
tution of 1877, it was declared that it
required a majority of all the members
elected to the legislature to pass a bill,
that meant, that there should be 88
votes in favor of a bill before it came
a law. Applying that principle to the
Constitution of 1877, and former ones,
it follows, as matter offcourse, that if
these subsequent conventions intend
ed to change the rule of construction,
as stated, they would have said, that
in order to pass a bill over the execu
tive veto, it was necessary that the
two thirds of the members elected to
the legislature should be required.
Failing to do this, these subsequent
conventions ratified and approved the
constructions which had been put by
THE ROME TRIBUNE. SUNDAY", DECEMBER I S, 1897.
i
the legislature upon the constitutiona
provision as it stood in 1859 and 1860.
and that it only required two thirds
of the members of the House present,
and of the Senate present, to over
ride the executive veto, provided
there were 88 in the House and 23 in
the Senate voting in favor of the bill.
“Toe anti-football bill is a matter of
small concern, but when a great principle
is to be settled, no matter whether it is
to be applied to a small or a great law,
the correct rule should be applied. These
precedents which I have reported show
that the settled law of the land was that
two-thirds of tAose voting in favor of
the bill would over-ride the veto, and
therefore th« house, in reference to the
anti-football game, should have recogniz
ed the fact that the vote of 107 in favor
of the bill was sufficient to pass it over
the executive veto, and it was the duty
of the house to have sent the bill to the
senate for further action.
“If I am right in this construction of
the law, the house of representatives
ought, by a resolution to declare, that its
action, in reference to the anti-foot ball
game, was directly in conflict with the
constitution and the law of the Jand, and
still send it to the senate for action, and
let its fate depend upon the action of the
senate.” •

The Tribune wishes to nrge the
good people of Rome to come for
ward with their subscriptions to *he
Roser monument fund.
It is a work growing out of a noble
woman’s suggestion, and it should not
lag. Many who are willing to contrib
ute, simply neglect to send in their
names and amount. If you do not wish
your name printed, send the sum you
wish to give, be;it much or little, and it
will be added to the list simply as “Con
tributed” if the donor so desires.
For six years Peter, David Roser
gave to beautiful Myrtle Hill his con
stant care and attention. Through sum
mer’s sunshine and winter’s storms he
worked to beautify this city of the dead.
Under his skilled and loving care it
bloomed into one of the most beautiful
cemeteries in the south. No man ever
discharged his trnst with more fidelity.
Is it not fitting, then that a people
should in gratitude erect over his last
resting place a marble shaft? We be
lieve so, and so believing shall continue
to ask that this last deed of remem
brance be carried to success.
