VASHIhuTON STATE

OLYMPIA, Feb 27.— Gov. Lister's programme received a severe jolt JJhe ., . ..:.,., ...... '..i- house pissed over his veto the Cheney normal Ft-bool appropriation for $300,000 and came within five votes of over­ riding the executive's veto of the $1,600,000 road tax levy. The fail­ ure of the road bill lo receive the *Delta necessar* two-thirds majority was a keen disappointment to the good i'oads enthusiasts, who charge that Cheney normal school supporters de­ serted after they had seen (heir own bill safe. The vote on the road ap­ propriation bill was sixty lo over­ TJimes ride the veto to thirty-four to sus­ tain the governor. Yesterday, McArdle, piloting the road bill through the legislature, de­ cided that unless the bill could be passed over the veto, the rulo which Si forbids reconsideration of a vote on ~* 9Pake* a- Specialty 0/-^ a veto, should be suspended. The rule was abolished and on motion of McArdle the House reversed Itself and Cheney normal will go without Its new buildings, the governor's Jfme veto being sustained ou reconsidera­ tion.
