Just as the governor was preparing to dip his trusty pen in an ink-well and sign an appropriation bill to provide January and February pay for state employes he was advised by his legislative counselor that the bill was not constitutional.

In the meantime the state employes must wait for their January pay until the budget appears as the rules and laws declare that an appropriation bill cannot be passed until the budget has been submitted to the legislature. The bill, passed by both house, called for an immediate appropriation of $23,920 to pay January and February salaries, as under the present law the state employes cannot get any money until after the general appro- -iHnn hill is nasseri.
