SPECIAL LAWS BAD
LAWS.
Supreme Courts Opinion in the
Athens Road Case.
MUNICIPAL BONDS IN DANGER.
PERHAPS AN EXTRA SEES
SION OF THE LEGISLA-
TURE.
ALI Special Legislation of Recent
Years Imperilled by the
Courts Opinion.
[Special to the Bee

COLUMBUS, May lS.-The points of
the opinion of the supreme court in the
Athens county road case, which was
decided April %, have just come
to light. Judge Burket has been at
work on the opinion, which was pre-
pared with the utmost care, and the
opinion in full has been given out. 1t
is more widely sweeping in its char
acter than has been supposed, and the
intimations given are such as to en-
danger all the special legislation of
years.
The court was considerate enough
not to pass upon questions affecting
classification of cities, but one or two
references made to such Legislation
are full of significance. The court
declares succinctly and unmistakably
that the nature of laws must be de-
termined by their effect and not by
their form; that the fiction Of a gen.
eral act, having no possible applica-
tion other than to a certain locality,
is clearly outside the limitations OF
the constitution and is void.
The constitution provides that acts
of general nature must have uni
form application throughout the state.
The court lays down the rule that the
way to determine whether a given
subject is of general nature or not
is this: If the subject does or may
exist in or affect the people of every
county In the state 1t is of a general
nature, while on the contrary, if the
subject cannot exist in or effect the
people of every county in the state ii
is local or special in its nature.
The court says: practically this
section of the constitution means that
the Legislation on a subject to which
in it's nature, laws having a uniform
application throughout the state can
be made applicable, must be by statutes
having such uniform operation and
cannot be by local or special acts.
Another object of this restriction was
to induce each member of the gener-
al assembly to employ his time,
knowledge and skill in passing good
laws for the whole people of the state,
and to prevent the exchange OF
courtesies with his fellow members
for the passage of local or special laws
for the benefit of favored few
With legislation thus limited to gen
eral laws it was thought that one ses-
sion of the general assembly IN two
years would be ample, and therefore
provision was made for only biennial
sessions"
AS to the classification of cities the
following suggestive and threatening
statement is made: "The case ot
Kenton vs.. state, 50 Ohio St., SO, and
other like cases, throw but little light
upon the question here involved, for
the reason that in those cases the ad-
ditional doctrine of classification OF
cities and villages is involved, doc.

HAwAII'S PRESENT ERUPTION.
Activity in the Mokuaweoweo Crater
rs Sapn a Few NnakS Ann


The Crowning feature OF the present eIuF-

middle OF the lake and approximately 400
feet apart. Probably no grander sight has
ever been seen under such Favorable cOndi-
tions than we had a few nights ago as we
stood on the edge of Mokun weo weo.
At distance of about one mile and only
q few hundred feet below us, these two
fountains were in constant eruption, spout
ing their thousands of tons OF lava high in
the air, and lighting the whole crater and
the heavens above with their brilliancy.
Using the same scale as before would es-
innate the average height of the sp0uting
columns of lava at about 200 feet, but at
intervals OF few minutes the upper jets
of red-hot bombs would reach half the
height of the western wall and then fall back
into the seething lake.
At times during lull in the prevailing
easterly wind the loud roar and the boom of
the fountains could be heard distinctly
by all of our party.
Besides the two large fountains which
played without cessation, there were fire.
