mon and Connor, Representatives
Rountree and Winston 1.-TWO | think
were in charge of the oilD, Maj.
Guthrie, Mr.. Busbee, Mr. Simmons,
and other prominent gentlemen, both
in and outside of the legislature. that
anything / might say would be but
needless repetition. / will, therefore.
merely express my concurrence i'll
the conclusion they have reachcd
that the amendment is not in conflict
with the Federal Constitution and the
amendments thereto.
2. The second question put by YOU
is, whether if section 5 were declared
unconstitutional the other part OF the
proposed amendment relating to an
educational qualification, etc.. would
be held valid. In view of the decisions
of the Supreme Court of the United
States / cannot understand how thee
can be any doubt as to the proper
answer.
In Pollock VS.. Farmers Loan and
Trust Com, 1873 y. S., COL, it is said:
1T is elementary that the same
statute may be in part constitutional
and in part unconstitutional, aud if
the parts are wholly indepedent of
edCn OJner, Undb WHICH Is cOHSIltu-
tional may stand while that which is
unconstitutional will be rejected.
<And in the case before us there is no
question as to the validity of this act,
except sections twenty seven to thir
ty-seven inclusive, which relate to the
subject which has been under discus
sion; and as to them we think the
rule laid down by Chief Justice Shaw
in Warren VS.. Charleston, Gray, 81,
is applicable, that if the different
parts are SO mutually connected with
and dependent on each other, as con-
ditions, or compensations for each
other, as to warrant belief that the
legislature intended them as whole.
and that, if all could not be carried
into effect, the legislature would not
pass the residue Independently, and
some parts are unconstitutional, all
the provisions which are thus depend
ent, conditional or connected, must
fall with them. Or. as the point is
put by Mr.. Justice Matthews in Poin-
dexter VS.. Greenhow, III Z. S., 270.
3O4: ut is undoubtedly true that
there may be cases where one part of
a statute may be enforced as consti-
tutional, and another be declared in
operative and void, because unconsti-
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-04-15

did not apply to the ease under con-
sideration. inasmuch as those sections
of the act relating to a tax upon in
comes derived from other sources
than rents and invested personal prop
erty (Which latter were held uncon-
stitutionaD were clearly separable
and admittedly enforceable without
reference to the invalid sections. The
court held, however, that they were
all the parts of "a scheme that must
be considered as a whole and that
all of said sections, valid as we'll as
invalid, were void. This upon the
ground that the lawmakers could not
have decided that any of those sec
tons should go into effect independ-
emily of the others.
Again in Sprague VS.. Thompson, lis
u. S., 90 (cited and fully approved in
the case just referred to-, it appears
that the legislature of Georgia pass
ed a compulsory pilotage law which
excepted from its operation coast
ers" in Georgia and between the ports
of Georgia and those of South Caro-
lima and those of South Carolina and
Florida. These exceptions were held
to be illegal determinations under
an act of Congress and therefore void.
The court SAID:
''It was held, however, by the Su
preme Court of Georgia, in the case
now before us, that so much of the
section as makes these illegal eXcep-
tons may be disregarded, SO that the
rest of the section as thus read may
stand upon the principle that a sep
arabic part of statute which is I'M
constitutional may be rejected, and
the remainder preserved and enforced.
But the insuperable difficulty with
the application of that principle of
construction to the present instance
is, that by rejecting the exceptions
intended by the legislature of Georgia
the statute is made to enact what
confessedly the legislature never
meant. 1t confers upon the statute
a FESTIVE operation, beyond the Leg
iSla1ive intent and beyond what any
one can say it would have enacted in
view of the illegahty of the excep-
tons. We are, therefore, constrained
to hold that the provisions of sections
1912 of the Code of Georgia cannot be
separated so as to reject the unconsti-
tutional exceptions merely, and that
the whole section must be treated as
annulled and abrogated by section

The following letter and opinion by

from a prominent Democrat in the

questions discussed in his letter.

OPEN DOOR.

Open door is but new name for free
trade. 1t is somewhat surprising, in view
of the sacred character attributed to the
means employed to restrict trade, how
every advance of the open door policy is
hailed with delight in the United States.
And those most pleased are the republic
ans who are thus assuming the role OF
iconoclasts. Unfortunately, the demo
cratic party is not at present in an atti-
tude to rejoice over the success OF that

preston in the United States, which
taught that the cannibal method in com
mercial life was the surest path to pros

under a new name so rs to cloak incon
sistency. The open door will prove a
catchy expression during this year of
political excitement. The desire for for
