EXECUTIVE CHAMBERS.

June 28, 1920.

I have the honor to report that I have approved Senate Bill No. 62, An Act entitled: "An Act appropriating money for the per diem and mileage and salary of the President and Members of the Senate and House of Representatives of the 1920 Special Legislative Session of the State of South Dakota, and for the Secretary of the Senate and Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives and for the per diem and mileage of the officers and sub-employees of both branches of the legislature and for rental of typewriters for the nineteen twenty special session, legislative supplies and for expenses incurred during the legislative session for extra janitors, engineers, firemen, elevator operators, etc., also for additional pay to regular force and for supplies and other incidentals for the nineteen twenty special session, and declaring an emergency," with the exception of the following items which are hereby expressly disapproved and vetoed:

In Section 1, appropriating money for the payment of mileage of the employees of the Senate and the House of representatives the two items are disapproved and vetoed, namely: "Mileage of the employees of the Senate $155.70," and "Mileage of House Employees $200.25," for the reason that these items are made up-in part-of amounts which are not a proper charge. I will admit that the officers and even the employees of a regular session would be entitled to their mileage, but those employed only for this short session are on a different basis.

We are too liberal in spending the public money. Waste and extravagance cannot always be avoided, but the payment of parts of these items is not warranted from any standpoint. A pernicious practice should not be permitted to grow. Respectfully,

PETER NORBECK,

Governor.
