Important legal decisions N Ina,ana.

INDIANAPOLIS, April %. - The supreme
court has handed down two important opin-
ions on the questions raised by Governor
Hovey during the last session Of the legisla-
ture. The first related to Trustee Carson
who was elected by the legislature and to
whom the governor refused a commission on
the ground that the legislature had no right
to elect an officer under a law of its own
creation. The decision is unanimous and
upholds the right of the law making body to
elect in this particular instance, but is silent
as TO the other offices filed by the same BODY
in a similar way. The second case was that
Of the superior court commission, and the de-
cisioB was also unanimous, the court holding
that the legislature cannot create a court.
and that, though obecured in this way, the
commission is, in fact, body that is designed
to exercise judicial functions. In this case
the position Of the governor is fully sus-
tanned.
