not satisfy the expression and intention
Of the Constitution.
Ii the object Of that clause was limited
to simply requiring that every payment
should have the authority of law, a sim
pler form OF expression might have been
used. For instance. it would have been
sufficient to have said that "no money
shall be drawn from the Treasury but in
pursuance of law" If that was the only
limit upon the authority of the Legsa-
ture, 1t might have been competent for
that body to have authorized the paw
ment OF any legal demand against the
state, without any expression on the
part OF the Legislature sanctioning le-
gitlmizing such particular demand. In
other words, the Legislature might have
SAID to the Treasurer, in effect: "You
are authorized to pay any just demand
that IS made against the State" Autho-
rlty OF this natnre conferred upon the
Treasurer would wholly destroy the idea
of IN appropriation as essential to au-
thorize payment.
But the clause under consideration
contains terms that are capable Of being
construed so rs to have an additional
meaning and sense, yet which, upon
tho construction just supposed, would
be wholly without force and effect. The
words III question are: but i'll pnrsn.

to the idea OF can appropriation made
