Chamberlain Kills Many Bills, an Appropriation Bill Among Them
In addition to the veto of the Newport Summer School bill, the Pure Food bill, the Bureau of Mines bill the land graft bill and several others, Governor Chamberlain, Thursday, killed with his veto one of the three general appropriation bills, which carried appropriations to the amount of over $63,000, of which $14,500 was for the purchase of an executive mansion. In all, the governor has vetoed fourteen bills passed by the legislature. It is declared by those familiar with legislation in Oregon that he has surpassed all his predecessors in that regard.
The Bureau of Mining bill carried an appropriation of $20,000, but when it was under discussion in the house there were members who declared on the floor that its passage would ultimately cost the state at least $60,000. His veto of one of the three general appropriation bills was based largely on constitutional grounds.
On all sides the action of the governor meets with emphatic commendation.
