HOKE VETOED
BILLS FOR THE
SAME_REASON
Governor’s Critics Have
Another Bone to Gnaw
THEY ARE CRITICISING HIM FOB
A SIN WHICH THEIR TIN-GOD
WAS GUILTY OF DURING HIS
TERM OF OFFICE.
Atlanta, Go., Sept. 12.—Like the
old story of the man whose ox was
gored, it appears to make a decided
difference, according to a ‘well known
friend of Gov. Joseph M. Brown,
to the name and Identity of the gov
ernor who vetoes a bill on the ground
that it is unconstitutional.-
Gov. Brown has recently (been ex
tensively criticised in certain quar
ter® for vetoeing the bill requiring
tbe railroads to pull mileage on their
trains. The leading ground on
which Gov. BVown vetoed the, bill
was, as he stated, Its apparent un-
constltutionality. \ His critics have
charged that if the bill were uncon
stitutional, or if there were grounds
■ for believing lt*Hincon®tttutlonal, he
should have approvided it and let the
courts pass on it.
The friend in question, who has
been Investigating the matter, finds
that Gov. Hoke Smith vetoed at least
two bills on the ground that they
were unconstitutional, and he ®ays
there ie no record of any similar
criticism having attached to him for
this action.
