Back to the Old Law.

BY Il unanimous decision of the Indiana
Supreme Court that body has set aside
the ap-portionmen; act OF 1898, reafiirmed
the decision of the same court setting
aside the apportionment of 1891. ard has
brought into operation the a-pportionment
Of 1880. which it declares 10 be the only
legal act since that date. The decision is
far-reaching in its effects and cmanates
from a body composed of both Republicans
and Democrats. The Democratic Legis-
lature of 1891. following the constitutions
al requirements To enact an a-pportionment
law every sixth year. passed an act which
was attacked 10y the Republicans and set
aside 10y the Supreme Court as unconsti-
tutional, the latter body holding il was I'M
fair in its provisions because it gave
greater representation to some portions of
the State than To others. The Democratic
Legislature of 1SG3 passed another act
and the Republican Legislature of 1895
repealed il and substituted an entirely
new law. This in turn was attacked by
the Democrats ON the ground that il vio-
lated the provisions of the constitution in
being enacted al Il time before the sixth
year since the apportionment of 1893
WAS passed. This contention was sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court. but ii failed
to conccde the Democratic position that
the law of 1893 was operative. holding
that the SAME objections which obtained
against the apportionment of 1893 existed
10 render void the apportionment of two
years before: that the Legislature of 1891
WAS competent under the Constitution 10
enact an a~ppertionment law, but the
Court having set that act aside as uncon-
stltutional. rccour> must be had To the
law of lSS5 to find Il valid enactment.
