opinion on Pure Food
The opinion Of the supreme court sus-
tanning the pure food law was written by
Judge Holcomb. The holding is:
The provisions of the act of the legisla-
ture OF 1899, being chapter XxXv thereof
creating a food commission, making the
tSs appoiI iGDe fo ~ deputy gn15; fRooG Somm IS
sioner and defining the duties of tho officers
80 provided for, does not contravene the
constitution. wherein It Is declared: NO
other executive state office shah be con
tinued or created and the duties now de-
this constitution shall be performed by the
officers herein created"
article viii, of the constitution. declaring
that no bill shall contain more than one
subject" .
Where a part of an act has been declared
invalid and the remainder is complete and
perfect In all its parts and Is eapapie -
unless It is apparent that the invalid part
was an inducement to the adoption Of the
remainder.
Held, that the part of the act under con-
sideration relating to an attempted appro.
priation for the salary of the deputy food
commissioner, which has been declared In
valid, was not an inducing element to the
passage of the remainder of the act.
The food commission law was passed by
the legislature three years ago. One Of
the paragraphs of the bill. besides provid-
ing for the appointment OF a deputy COM
missioner, sought to make provision for
the salary of the officials and attaches Of
the department. The supreme court two
years ago declared the appropriation fea-
ture invalid because the paragraph con-
tained more than one subject. The error
was corrected by the last legislature, when
separate provision was made for the sala-
ries and expenses of the: department.
Jury Overdid Things.
The supreme court has decided against
the young colored man, A. Worden Haynes,
who prosecuted a suit for 50 900 damages
against the prorrietors of the Lindell
hotel. His claim was based on the refusal
Of the defendants to allow him to ride on
the elevator in their hotel, In the district
court Of Lancaster county Haynes Pecov-
cred judgment for $500. The supreme
court reverses the order. The opinion is
~ OOAlLulobAOuCA alhNo II AOluAu6 VI
law is that in a suit for damages the CIV
ing OF an instruction which in substance
informs the Jury that IL. from the evidence
they find for the plaintiff. they will Ak
his damages at . such sum, within the
amount claimed, which is $4,000, as. they
think he has sustained by reason of facts
alleged In his petition, and which thus
eliminates the consideration of the evil
dence in fixing the amount Of recovery. is
reversible error. AS to this particular
case the court holds hat the verdict re-
turned by the jury is excessive.
The question Of the mans color did not
enter into the consideration in the decision
of this case. The judgment was reversed
on two grounds. one being that the court
erred In giving the instruction referred to
and the other that the verdict as returned
Is excessive
Worden was an employee OF the republican
state headquarters. He alleged in his pc
tition that the refusal Of the hotel propri-
etors to allow him to ride on their elevator
deprived him of lucrative employment.
