BLAINE VETOESTHE WE JUNIORCOLLEGE BILLSUGGESTS SUBSTITUTE LAW. THREE OTHER MEASURES ARE DISAPPROVED(Speciad to The Northwestern.).Mwfisoti, Win,—governor Blaine on Xyednesday sent four veto messages to the legislature, including the Nye Junior college bill. The governor argues that if the state intends to embark on a policy tit establishing the freshman and sophomore years apart from the university, it- should be done by adding a two-year course to the present high school curriculum- The governor says that it has been clearly demonstrated throughout the session that there is a great ‘ deal of confu -•ion regarding the educational system, and ho believes that this question should be given further study before any new system Is embarked upon. - * -*Other vetoes announced by the governor were:Skill roacKf begin-Mine t* shew a mk? niQ«!lt;^ttn#nti« whatyou need Ip give ^ukk nM Aid clear »w*y the treobk.

This is characterized by the governor as a perfectly use-less procedure/*'A bill changing the present law relating to a certificate of heirship.Great interest was manifested in legislative circles Wednesday ever the Nye junior ^college bill. Several eUsess. assuming that the measure has already become a la tv,' have written to ^he state board of education for the establishment of a junior college,FAVORS EXPANSION.**X favor extending the opportunity for education/’ declares Governor Blaine in his veto message, and affording every child greater^ opportunities for education. There are three plans for extending thos^ opportunities: one is by establishing soealled junior colleges, under the plan of this bill: another is by increasing the facilities of the normal schools for-giving two years of college work, and the third L* to extend the high school courses from four to six. years.Of Lhc three suggested plans, the simplest, the cheapest and the best Is the third—the extension of the four year courses in the high schools to a six year course, just lt;xs rapidly as the local committees desire the exten-nion.This bill is not designed to estab-1 Iteh the two year college course in existing high schools: in feet, it is designed along entirely diitcrent lines. It establishes another system nf schopte. One of the complaints today against our educational system is that It is too complex, with too many boards, and too many supervisingagencies with divided responsibility, If the state intends to embark upon the policy or establishing the freshman and sophomore years in institutions apart from the university, It is my opinion that the two years ought to be added to the existing high school curriculum and be under the control Of the board- of education or school board, the superintendent of schools and. the high school principal, as Is now true of high * schools.ECONOMY JS POSSIBLE.Such a plan of extending high school courses commends Itself over the plan proposed in this bill, and I will briefly state the reasons, namely: the first two years of college work in many cities in high schools will mean less expense for the taxpayer: it will permit the development of vocational and commercial courses in those, communities where thotie courses are more particularly desirable; it will mean the possibility of utilizing the existing buildings, the supervising principal, the instructors and the saving of a tremendous overhead expense involved in the establishing of a separate eoeallcd junior college.If the plan suggested by this bill were carried into effect it would moan the establish men tr not only of five separate institutions directed by the state, but by 'succeeding legislatures additional separate institutions will be added until the expense will be more than.the'people can bear, under our present system of taxation.ADVISES STUDY OP PROBLEM.The fact Is and it has been clearly demonstrated throughout this season that there is a great deal of confusion concerning our educational system and institutions, and no plan should bo adopted that affords such tremendous possibilities for the expenditure of public money as Ihte bill docs, without mature deliberation. In fact, .this bill is only patchwork upon our present-educational system, and before we embark upon a new system of schools, with consequences at» far ■ reaching as this hill’ proposes, in my opinion it is far better to study the problem so that greater information of plana which may have been successful elsewhere might be obtained, to the end that our entire school system and administration may be simplified and coordinated.The governor vetoed another bill legalizing higher rates of interest be-caufie he believes the rates proposed to he unconscionable/*This bill provides, in short, for the licensing of any firm, person or corporation which shall make any loan in the amount of $30D or less,” saya Governor Blainfc. It also provides for a certain supervision of such' licensee. It is urged that there ia no chance for small' borrowers in this state to borrow money, and that thia bill is intended to give small borrowers a chance.The effect of this bill is to legalize the mostrunconscionable rate of interest.

If a borrower underxthis system borrows $100 and Is unable to pay the $100 before the end of the year, he will be incHbted to the amount of $142. It he pays the stipulated rate of Interest per monLh, then the amount the lender receives as interest will exceed $42 in one year— in fact nearly one-half of, the principal borrowed.If our present laws are not sufficient to protect the small borrowef, then they should be amended to meet the situation, but I* have not been able to coma to the point whore I can approve'of any proposal ion legalizing and encouraging usury/'-In vetoing the law requiring the town clerk to furnish sample ballots, Governor Blaine says that this would be a perfectly procedure.There is no election In which the people are so interested,” saya Iho governor In his veto message, as the town election.
