BoyIe's Opinion of Alien Land Law

y
Attorney General Boyle Thursday
mOrning sent an opinion to the senate
on the validity of the alien land law,
under which the Santa Fe receiver
ship proceedings were instituted in
the Jefferson county district court,
not long ago. He holds that the law
was never properly passed, bearing
out the opinion of Judge A. H. Hor-
ton. The opinion was sent to the
senate in accordance with a resolu.
tiOn adopted by that body on Tues
day, and is as follows:
"The question as to whether the
alien land law was ever properly
passed by the legislature of 1891 is
net free from doubt. The matter has
been presented to one district court
for determination, aud it was there
held that the law diI not properly
plss. There was no appeal taken,
and this is the only adjudication in
any court upon the question.
AFTER somewhat careful consider.
alton lam forced to the conclusion
that the law did not properly pass
and that if your honorable body de.
sires an alien land law, it will require
further action by this legislature"
The district court spoken of in Mr..
Boyle's opinion is that of the Sixth
judicial district, in which an opinion
on the validity of the law was rem.
dered at Fort Scott three years ago,
