The section above referred to provides
that any county may adopt township
organization whenever a majority OF
the legal voters Of such county. voting
at any general election shall so determ-
inc" What is it that determines, or
decides? (For that is what understand
the word determine to mean in thus con.
nec.ion.) 1t is the will of a majority
of the legal voters Of a county express.
cd at general election. II seems from
your letter that less than one third Of
those voting at your election favored
township organization, unless we as
sumo that those who did not vote on
township organization. but did vote al
the election, determined by their action
that they were in favor of township or.
ganization. This would seem to be alb.
surd, and in the light of the decision Of
our Supreme Court IN the State ex rel
Woodson VS.. Brassfield, 81 Mo. Reports
page 3l, we are not permitted to draw
any such conclusion. The court says
the assent required is an affirmative
positive act. Can we say that less is re-
quired in the case in hand than an af
tirmative, positive act of the majority o.
the legal voters Of the county. See alst
Webb VS.. Lafayette county, Ibid. 353
There Is some ambiguity in section 743:
Il. S., and it would seem to provide fol
the adoption of township organization
by manner different from that laid
down in the Constitution; but there il
no real difference between the two, for
conceive that the words "for and against
township organization in the statute
may be fairly treated as surplusage and
stricken out. If this be so, then there
would be no substantial difference be
tween the Constitution and the Statute
But, if there be any difference, the con.
stitutiOnal rule must prevail, and, ac
cording to that, think there can be nc
doubt that the proposition to adopt
township organization in your county
was lost, and so decide.
