Veto Decision Stirring Arkansas Creditors
Little Rock June 20 The circuit court decision by Judge Hendrix on the State Agricultural Commission case tests Gov Ha vl of vetoing appropriations. If upheld by the supreme court it could add about 600000 in state interest to be funded before the next legislature with a depleted treasury. The veto argument rests on mandatory proclamation veto. Legislature had appropriated 3600000 with revenue estimates of 5000000. If the veto stands warrants may be paid only through August and the state could be about 3 million behind when the 1917 legislature convenes. War rants may fall to 60 cents in value before that time.
