The Montana legislature approved 22000 for upgrades and a new building at the Orphans Home in Madison County to improve safety and care for about 125 wards. Governor Toole vetoed the funding citing economy, then signed a deficiency bill granting 17000 to the State Fair for buildings, a move criticized as unconstitutional and raiding state funds. The speech argues the railway commission could save money, a claim backed by party platforms, unlike the state fair funding.
The Marysville Mountaineer criticizes Governor Toole for vetoing the railway commission bill. It argues the veto serves railroad and Amalgamated Copper interests, betraying the people of Montana and undermining his pledges to curb rail abuses. It condemns Toole as falsely sincere and labels him Coal-Oil Joe.
