8 GOVERNOR BLEASE WILL NO!?THE BONDS Says He Will Not be Dictated to by Supreme Court. NO BONDS TO BE ISSUED. He Makes It Certain There Will be N'o Itefuiidiiig of State l>el>t During llis Term of Olliee. Columbia Special to Charleston News and Courier, Sept. 11.?Governor Blease announces he will not sign any bonds or stocks, making it certain there will be no refunding of the state debt during his term of ottlce. He scored the supreme court this morning for their opinion in upholding the validity of the refunding Act and goes after Associate Justice Hydrlck. who wrote the opinion. His dictated statement says: "No. I am not disappointed at the result of the decision of the supreme court. I rather expected it. I regret very much though, that they dodged the main point in the case, and did not decide fairly and squarely the question of a quorum, as to whether or not a memuer ui mr miu.it v?. senate can serve on any commission of which he was a member by virtue of his position in the house or senate, after his term expires, or. as the constitution expresses it. after the term of his successor begins. "Justice Hydrick in his opinion completely and absolutely dodges every material issue in the case, as any lawyer or other man of good common sense will find if he will read the pleadings therein. He dodges entirely the Browning question. one of the most important of all. He then confirms the report of Halcott P. (Ireen by merely saying that 'wc deem it unnecessary to prolong this opinion hy a detailed statement or consideration of them,' which shows that he did not give them the proper thought and consideration. In fact, his whole opinion is dodging the material issues raised by the pleadings, and decides absolutely nothing, but leaves the entire matter where it was before it went Into the courts. WATTS DOES A LITTLE BETTER. "Justice Watts does a little better. However, the conclusion reached and the opinion of the majority of the court is. in my opinion, after considering the pleadings on hotli sides, one of the most adroit judicial dodges that I have ever seen and one " *" * V. _ Tv/?efnot Ki acoil noHtinnl IM HIP UlVirt jiri mv v px/i.vivw. judgments ever handed down by a judicial tribunal, and should he sufficient to convince all men of the necessity of the election of judges by the people. I am glad, however, to see that they say they will have nothing to do with matters of the sinking fund commission. I presume they will adhere to this when the Dominiek claim comes up for his fee. However. I do not suppose they had thought of it. or possibly they would not have been so plain along that line. Personally. I shall pay absolutely no attention to the decision, and no bonds will be refunded until after the next session of the general assembly, the supreme court to the contrary notwithstanding. Judge Hydrlck does not even tell the commission to go forward: he simply says they are at liberty to do so and so The legislature had given that liberty, and it. was not necessary for this learned and distinguished jurist to concur But the 'liberty' he gave the majority will avail nothing, as it will be absolutely ignored until the next general assembly takes action. "Seriously, 1 doubt if this is a legal decision, anyway, for the supreme court has certainly not followed the j constitution. If you will turn to , Section 6, Article 5. of our constitution. you will read, 'In case all or any ! of the justices of the supreme court J shall he thus disqualified or he other- ( wise pre- WVl from presiding.' etc. ; 4Via r.sMivt oe tlio ItiofUoo ! W. uir jnr*tn vurirui shall certify the samp to the governor.' etc. This they failed to do. and only four justices acted in the ease, when the constitution positively required five, or the court enbanc. You will notice the word is 'shall* and not 'may' or 'can.' Therefore, it certainly was the duty of the judges, when they only had four, to certify the same and have the vacancy filled, or, these being constitutional questions, to call the full court en banc and pass upon the same. These judges for some reason refused to obey the constitution because it certainly says 'shall,' and if the humblest citizen 'shall,' when the word is I used, surely the supreme court, which I sends them to the penitentiary and J to the electric chair, should, above I all others, obey the constitution, when it says 'shall.' NO TIONDS TO TIE ISSUED. "Of course, however, these judges are above the law. Tf one of them -'hould be convicted of any offense, 1 have no idea but what the otherft would give him a new trial, but they a re noi mgner in metaling to me my duties. Therefore, you can wifely -ay that there will be no bonds issued ntll after the meeting of the next general assembly, for. If you will notice, the Acts of 1912 In reference to this bond matter, page 74 0, provides 'that, said coupon bonds and o.-rtiflcates of stock shall be signed 1 v the governor of the state,' etc., and I have yet to see or read anything In the constitution or statutes vhich authoritzes the supreme court to make me as governor sign my name to what I believe to be an attempt to defraud the state, and if I t'^ere was any such thing, I would not sign it. even though the supreme court judges are higher than the law and can refuse to do what the constitution says they shall do. So the bond deal matter will stand, as I presume the supreme court would say, or at least would affirm me in saying, in statu quo until the general assembly of 1914."
