Governor Patlison's objections to the Resolution of the Legisla tors paying themselves to September 10, &c. WHY IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The resolution contains two distinct provisions. One is an instruction to the committee to report a bill of a cer tain character and for a definite amount. The other provision is an instruction to the committee to report no other ap propriations for the pay to Senators and members after September 10. In this instruction lam asked to join. If this branch of the resolution is intend ed to affect the compensation of mem bers as fixed by the Act of Assembly, it suggests several legal inquiries to me, called upon, as I am, to give it validity by my signature. The Act of Assembly of May 11. A. D. 1874, pro vides that the "compensation" of mem bers of the Legislature "shall be SIU per diem at each adjourned or special session." The act was the law at the time of the election of all the members of the present Legislature. The thir teenth section of the third article of the Constitution provides that "no law shall extend the term of any public officer, or increase or diminish his sal ary or emoluments, after his election or appointment." It is true the resolu tion before me is not in the form of a law, but if it has any purpose, or can liave any possible effect, in its conclud ing provision, it is that there shall not be any law passed making provision for the payment of the compensation of Senators or members after September 10. If the members of the Assembly shall be entitled to any pay for this session, it is uot competent for the Legislature to deprive them of it io whole or in part. Iu other words, if a public officer has a legal claim to com pensation for any period of time, it is not within the power of the Legisla ture, by the passage cf a law or reso: (ution, to diminish that compensation for a part of that time. INDIVIDUAL PIUVILEGESOF LEGISLATORS. Of course, it is entirely competent for any member of the Legislature who sees fit 30 to do to waive the whole or any portion of the compensation to which he may be entitled. I could not, and would not, interpose any obstacle to such a voluntary relinquishment of pay. That, however, can be done without either let or hindrance from the Executive, and there is no reason, in law or propriety, for asking his prior approval. There is no pnabling act needed to accomplish such a renuncia tion. lam now considering the reso lution only in so far as I am asked to give it validity in an indirect effort at adverse legislative action upon the i.ouipenaatipn oi publics otticers after their election. The first clause of the resolution is an instruction to legislate, the second clause a direction not to legislate. The subject with which it deals is the compensation of the Leg islature itself. The compensation of members at extraordinary sessions is fixed by the act of 1874. That law canpot be modified, or repealed, by a resolution, but only by another act of Assembly. Such act of Assembly can not be passed at this session, for tho general subject of fixing the rate of compensation of members of the Leg islature was not the purpose for which this session was convened, and was not designated as a subject for legislative action in the proclamation of the Gov ernor. NOT TIIE WORK OF THE SESSION. This session of the Legislature was convened by me solely for the purpose of having a clear and most vital com mand of the Constitution executed by the General Assembly. In my procla mation conypning the tvyo houses I designated the subjects for legislative action, aud cited the mandate of the fundamental law imposing upon the Legislature the imperative obligation tor the passage of apportionment laws. Three months and more have expired since then, and, instead of the passage of the laws commanded by the people iu their Constitution, J- am presented with a resolution concerning the amount of pay the members shall re ceive tor a session the duties of which are as yet undischarged. lam impell ed to these observations, not only by the unusual character of the resolution itself, but also by the unusual time at which it has been taken into considera tion by the Legislature. It has been customary heretofore for the Appropri ation bill to be passed and fent to the Governor at the close of the session, when most of the duties of the Legisla ture were finally performed, and the rest in a forward state of completion. This resolution reaches me many months after the day on which the Legislature was assembled, and when its important and mandatory constitu tional duties remain unexecuted. The question of the pay of members is the least important matter relating to this session. The paramount subject that should engage the legislative attention is the execution of the Constitution,un der which the two houses exist and the whole government of the State coheres, by according to the people in all sec tions and of all interests their import ant right to fair, equal, just and timely representation in the halls of legisla tion. It would be better to hold in abeyance any discussion of the ques tion of pay while such a duty, so sol emnly enjoined, remains unperformed. EXPENSE NOT A CONSIDERATION. Considerations of expense have no place in the determination of the prop osition whether or not the mandate of the Constitution shall be obeyed by tho representatives chosen by the peo ple for that purpose. If the fundamen tal law shall remain unobeyed by the Legislature aud its supremacy unvin dicated no partial relinquishment of pay by those responsible for the de fault will serve to salve over the wound inflicted upon the sacred and underlying law of the State. On the other hand, chariness is out of place in the effort to preserve the integrity of the supreme law. The people of this country have never been di.-posed to haggle about the cost of conserving their political rights and maintaining their constitutional form of govern ment in its purity and strength. in convening the General Assembly for the important purposes named, I exhausted all the power given to me by the Constitution in this particular case for seeing that the !%ws are faith fully executed. The length of the ' session and its consequent expense are not subject to my direction or control. How long the Legislature will take to perform its Constitutional duties, and when it will adjourn, are matters ex clusively within the regulation of the ' two houses. It is my duty, however, to assume, in view of the imperative command of the organic law, that they will not adjourn until their Constitu tional obligations are fully discharged; and official propriety requires me to believe that they will not unnecessari ly consume the money of the people by protracting to an unwarranted length the time of their sitting. These remarks are suggested by cer tain notorious facts in connection with the present session to which I cannot close my eyes. I cannot fail to observe, in my official capacity, that over one hundred days have elapsed, and that the business for which the Legislature was convened is not completed. Know ing no reason, in law or justice, for such delay, I have sought to ascertain the cause by an inspection of the jour nals and files of the two kouses. These records disclose the fact that differences exist between the bodies upon the sub ject of the apportionment bills, which have not as yet been reconciled. On the part of the House of Representa tives, it appears that resolutions have b,een repeatedly sent to the Senate re questing the appointment of commit* fees of conference to adjust the differ ences existing between the two Houses, which requests the Senate has refused to grant. Moreover, the -House ap pears to have passed a number of new bills, pending the unreconciled differen ces upon the old ones, all of which new measures the Senate has refused to place upon its calendar. From this it would appear that one branch of the Legislature is unwilling to make any further efforts to meet the other for the purpose of reconciling the differences existing between them, and passing the legislation required by the Constitu tion. THE CONSTITUTION DEFIED. This determination, if contiuued, is in effect closing the door upon all possi bility of enforcing the fundamentul law. The relative merits of the points of difference between the Houses I do not mean to discuss. I have no hesitation, however, in distinctly saying that the paramount obligation fov the passago of apportionment •Jaws makes it an overpowering duty that those differ- ' ebces should be finally adjusted so that the Constitution shall be obeyed. Upon one side of this question there are differences between the Houses about the number and political com plexion of districts ; upon the other j there is imperative command of the Constitu- ! tion that apportionment laws ;ehall be ' enacted. There thus appears to be a | conflict between the resolution of one , branch of the Legislature not to attempt to reconcile its differences with the ; other and the absolute mandate of the i Constitution. In such a conflict there, ought to be no doubt aboqt the side to j which the duty of the faithful legislator , is due. The question of the apportionment j of the State ought not to be made a political contention between parties in : which one shall resolve that unless its claims are admitted no laws at oM shall be passed, rules for the guidance pf the Legislature are clearly laid down by the Constitution, and are that the legislative districts shall be of compact and contiguous territory, as nearly equal in population as may be, and sim ilar requisites obtain for the Congres sional apportionment. The law recog nizes no such principle as, the claims of parties in the passage of the legislation for which the General Assembly is now convened. To inject such issues into the deliberations of the Legislature, and bv insisting upon them to prevent the execution of the organic law, is unjusti fiable and indefensible. Every consid eration of law, duty, rights of the peo ple, and respect for the obligation of oaths, requires that party spirit and party resolves should not be permitted to stand in the way of prompt and faithful obedience to the Constitution. AN AI'I'EAII FOR JUSTICE AND UIQIIT. If the Legislt.ture, from any reason, should again fail to comply with the command of the fundamental law, the people cannot be fairly and justly re presented in the Legislative councils of the State and Union before the year 1887- Neither house has the right to assume an attitude calculated to bring aboutso deplorable a condition of affairs. I must, therefore, in the effort to carry out the injunction of the Constitution that I "shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed," urge upon the Legislature the importance of the obli gation under which it rests to perform a plain Constitutional duty. A spirit of fairness, candor and non-partisan ship should actuate the members of both branches of the Assembly in the performance of that duty. Diligence should characterize them as well. For either house to resolve to meet only at infrequent intervals, and then but for a short time, is likely, even if not intend ed, to prevent the requirements of the law from being fulfilled I trust, for the sake of the fair fame of our Com monwealth, for the respect we hold among our sister States, and to save us from the reproach of being unable to execute our constitutional form of government, that the Legislature will soon discharge its duties with fairness and justicfc, and thus bring to a speedy conclusion this session, already too lengthy. Finally, I wish to say that, upon the question of the compensation of members raised by the resolution here with returned, I decline to commit my self to any opinion whatever. I have not expressed, and shall not indicate my judgment upon that subject until in due course of law the appropriation bill for the session shall be presented to me. I will then have no hesitation in disposing of the matter as, in my opinion, law and justice require. ROBERT E. PATTISO*. A Silver Wedding.
