A Lecal Question
Austin Tex May 27 It appears
that the veto of three or four items
in tho general appropriation bill was
modified so that a portion of the items
might bo expended These items
were to pay salaries of the stenog-
raphers of tho criminal court of ap-
peals and three civil courts of appeals
The stenographers had served the
several courts from the 1st of March
the time their last appropriation had
expired until the legislature ad-
journed and were due something
over 200 each for this service
They havo recoivod their pay though
the veto sent tho house cut out tho
entire appropriation for the two years
beginning March I 1893 at least the
legislature was not notified by the
veto message that tho governor had
allowed the young men their pay for
tho months of March and April An
interesting legal question is sug-
gested vhether tho governor has
power to veto any part of an item
