interfere with the legislative branch
of the state government In the matter
of submitting amendments to the con-
stitution. 1t is claimed by the Jeffer-
son City attorneys that the Amendment

ly upon the future acts of some indi-
viduals. The Sedalia lawyers hold that
it is entirely within the jurisdiction of
the legislative branch to submit pro-
visional amendment to the constitu-
| ton. On these propositions the argu-
ments were conducted.
Seda1ia was represented by Hon. j.
n. Boutwell,, of Sedalia, and Judge j.
