late Constitutional Convention 1t has dis
tinctly aud formally made the obsolete ex-
ception OF the amendment to the Constitu=
tion OF 1874 a living part OF the new
Constitution, without any OF the oriRi-
nal limiting conditions which attended its
temporary existence. IL thus becomes an
unqualified part of hc fundamental ld,r Of
the state, at all times operative, and to
continue trrcmedinblu In tull force and
effect unttl the year 1910, when the next
Constitutional Convention is to be held.
Tho Commissioners OF Revision OF the
present time have had no jurisdiction over the
subjects in question. They were created and
appointed for other and distinctly defined
duties. But the unqualified adoption of this
peculiar provision in the new Consttu-
tion makes the S0-Cdlled Comm issi0ners Of
Statutory Rerision, 1rho do not form a part
of the regular state Government, the most
po,cerful controlling agents Of the State In
dltmdttcrs Of legislation. They have hereto
fore had only flimsy tenure Of Office, but
they have now become more powerful than
the Legislature and Governor, for neither Of
the latter has authority to grant a license to
waive a constitutional restriction. The
Commissioners of Revision have more
grasp than the entire Judiciary OF the
State, for although the higher courts,
in the temptation Of their potency, will
sometimes go pretty far in constituting
constitutional nrovsions even 70 the
verge Of creation. IT, ia only an occasional
invesion and IN course NJ time the assumn-
tion ia pull;aed bv other v;ews from subse.
