Unconstitutional laws.

a case entitled State Of Iowa as,
Wier, appealed from the District
Court o! Ccrro Gordo county, was
lately decided IN the Supreme Court.
This case involved the constitutional
i.y Of the act Of the 18th General AS
semhlv allowing Tie people of any
county to prohibit the sale of wine
and beer within its borders. The
Court held that the act was uncon-
stitu'ional, principally on the ground
that he people, in their primary or
individual capacity, have no power to
make laws. This decision must have
a wide application, and will be held
to apply to the Herd Laws, as well
In view Of this decision, it seems un
necessary for the Legislature to pass
any more laws which require for
their effect to he voted up by the
people or county or township.
