Hundred Thousand Dollars Ken
tucky Affairs In a Ilad Fix.
Feaxkeekt, Ky., Aug. 18. The cap
ital was quiet Wednesday and the only
thing discussed was the outcemo of the
vetoes sent in by Gov. Brown, whether
it will bring down the wrath of the peo

ture.
It is the almost unanimous opinion
that somebody will suffer, and If the
people arc a unit in the belief that the
govorner alone Is responsible for mak
ing a nullity of the work of the sever
months' session, then he IsKjccupying hU
last political office in the gift of thopee
ple. On the contrary, If the blame ia
made te rest en the legislature, second
term members will be scarce as hen's,
teeth in the next assembly. Said a
prominent representative:
Nearly four-fifths of the bills wc have
passed will net stand the test Gov.
Brown applied te the corporation and
revenue bills. All of the Important
bills verc amended in ene house or the
ether, and the amendment concurred hi
by a viva voce vote. The governor
may be right, but if his theory is cor
rect when a house bill Is amended in
the senate it is a new bill en
tirely when It is returned te the
house, and must be printed and read
three times sevcra1 days again as re
quired by the constitution. Then If the
senate amendment should be amended
in the house it would take three mera
days In the senate, and se en ad infin
itum, thus practically defeating legisla
tion, because It would take a whole ses
sion te pass two bills. I think the gov
ernor should have sent In a veto of seme
similarly passed bills early in the ses-,
sien, se we could have had some idea
what te expect. As it Is, alt our bills
are in doubt
Nothing is positively lenewn what was
meant by Gov. Brown's reference te the
auditor's agent system, and that the
legality of the paying of big sums te
these agenta would "6oen be tested. "
The assumption of these who have
written about it has been that suit
might be brought against the agents,
who as such have collected large sums
as commissions en revenue collections.
The Intimation In the message, if re
ports be true, has a deeper meaning.
It means that suit will be brought seen
against the auditor of the state en his
official bend for a sum aggregating
something like 1100,000, and the grounds
for the suit will be that this sum of
money has been paid out te his agents
by the auditor without any warrant of
law.
The auditor Wednesday morning sent
te the public printer an order for the
printing of the blanks te be used by
the assessors in the coming fall as
sessment Thrs work has usually be
gun hertofere in June nnd finished by
September. The public printer says
that the office will be run night and
day, and that it u-ill be a physical im
possibility te finish the work by the
usual time. Fer the Inconvenience that
will result neither the auditor nor the
printer can be blamed, as It was Impos
sible te tell until new if a new revenue
bill would be passed, and If a change in
the blanks would be a necessity.
