AGAIN THE CLERK.

There is some doubt as to the Valid
ity of chapter $50, general laws Of
1897, in the opinion of the Public Ex-
aminer. The law, as framed, was in
tended to allow savings and loan ssso-
Citations that we're unable to continue
business to wind up their affairs by
making voluntary assignment. The
validity of the alleged law is doubtful,
according to the Public Examiner, be-
cause the enrolled bill presented to the
governor for signature did not contain
the enacting clause.
II the Public Examiner is in doubt
on this subject there are others who
are not in doubt. The law is void,
even though the bill from which the
enrolment was made contained the
enacting clause. The original bill was
void, because it did not contain the
governors signature. The enrolled
bill is void because it did not contain
the enacting clause.
The carelessness of clerks around
the Legislature is frequently criminal,
at all times disgraceful. The average
person elected to q minor position
seems to be of the opinion that he has
the job for ITO days fun in St. Paul,
and that the State, aside from protect
ing him in his fun, is to furnish him
with money to carry it on. The aver
age legislator is of the same stripe.
The average legislator and the average
clerk seem to neglect all business when
they reach the Sanity City, and make
business give way to pleasure. The
more carousing the more fun. The
State pays the freight. And by this
carelessness comes the errors that in
validates acts passed by the legislature
some frequently important. Certain
it is that the important acts affecting
the rights of the people as against cor
porations are the only acts in which
this carelessness seems to come to the
surface. An act of the woodchuck
character, or favorable to corporations,
never seem to be tainted with the care
lessness of these clerks. An indict-
ment of two or three officials for crimi-
nal carelessness would probably have
the right kind of effect on future
minor officials of the legislature.
