THAT DECISION.

The supreme court of this state
has declared the fee bill unconsti-
tutional, and in doing SO has laid
down rules, which, unless modi-
fed, will nullify every law on our
statute books. The court says
that much needless litigation will
be saved by deciding the matter
now, but we are inclined to think
il opens the floodgate for al kinds
of lawsuits. Every law passed
since 1890 is affected. In fact
they are all nullifed. Three men
sitting as court, have undone the
work Of four legislatures and mud
died the state laws. We hope the
the decision will be modified.

abuses in the regulation of fees of
county and precinct officers is a
good one, ard one with which this
court is in full sympathy. It is
therefore with great reluctance
that we hold the act in question to
be void, but there is NO ether alter
native"
The conclusions reached, after
a careful and fall consideration
are:
First. To determine the vail.
dity of statute the court can, and
should in the proper case, 60 back
of the enrolled bill to the journals
of both houses to ascertain whether
the requirements Of the constitu-
ton were complied with by the
legislature in enacting such statute.
Second. The act in question is
void IN toto BY reason Of the
failure of the journals oS the Eegis-
lature to show a compliance with
the requirements Of the constitn-
ton in passing said act.
The judgment appealed from il
reversed, and the cause relnalrled
with instructions to the trial court
to enter judgment in favor Of the
defendant.

anotber Case.

The supreme court has rendered
an interesting opinion in denying
q motion for q rehearing in the in
terest case recently decided, Yer
mont Loan & Trust Company VS..
Ross Hoffman ct al, which has
attracted SO much interest through
out the state. It is the case in
which interest bearing coupons
given for interest not due are de-
clared usury. The court holds the
law to be good one. The court
says that "the matter of usury il
peculiarly statutory" It finds but
one state, Minnesota, in which
there is q statute like that OIL
Idaho, the two practically identi.
cal, and it fails to find any decision
by the supreme court of Minnesota
recognizing the construction con,
tended for by the company.
The district court is directed te
issue an order restoring the prop.
erty to Hoffman, 1t having beer
sold under the decree of the Lower
court and bought in by the loar
company.

When q court composed Of three
men can at one swoop, through
technical construction, knock not
all Of our laws made by legislatures
composed Of fifty or sixty men, its
time the constitution was changed.
Too much power is delegated to
our courts in such matters, and
a change is needed.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
THE FEE BILL VOID.
Che Supreme Court IHccB9
cut this Deasure,

The fee law enacted by the last
session of the Legislature has been
declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court. A unanimous
opinion, prepared by Justice Quar-
les, fled yesterday. Moreover, the
decision lays down such require
ments respecting the procedure to
be observed in passing bill that
it is question if great many OF
our laws are not open 10 the same
objections which vitiate this meas
ure.
There are five points laid down
which will attract special attention.
They are:
First. That the court may go
back of the enrolled bill to deter
mine whether or not it has been
passed constitutionally.
Second. That the journal must
show affirmatively that every re-
quirement of the constitution has
been complied with.
Third. That the provision of the
constitution respecting the reading
of bills cannot be suspended for
first and second reading excepting
upon an aye and nay vote with
respect to each seperate measure.
Fourth. That this provision Of
the constitution cannot be suspen.
pended at all excepting in case Of
nrgency-and the court illustrates
urgency with the suggestion
that it would arise in case Of insur,
rection.
Fifth. That bill which il
amended after passing from the
house in which it originated. mus
be treated as new bill, with res
pect to reading on three seperat,
days, when il is returned to tn,
body that first passed it.
Every reader familier with tn.
methods of our legislature know
that those bodies have held s'ur
gency" to apply TO any bill which
they were in o hurry to pass. /
is also we'll known that the re-
qulrement respecting suspension
to do away with the first anC
second readings in full is often i
not always not complied with, ant
that an amended measure is no
treated as an original bill. Will
respect TO amended bills, there i,
saving clause in the decision in
dlcatlng that it would apply orl,
to . measure that had been ina
te1iallvp amended.
These Irregularities have existed
ever since the organizations of tn,
state government, and it will read
lily be seen that most importan
laws may be open to successful at
tack on these grounds.
THE object Of the act in question
winch was to cut down the exces
s.so cost i litigation, and correc

The Supreme court Of the State,
we think, stretched a good many
points to knock the fee bill. The
decision is a blow 10 the state, and
while it may be law, it lacks tie
essential feature of being IN line
with common sense and good
Judgment.
