When the Cuban reciprocity bill was
taken up Mr.. Perkins (Cal) spoke. He de-
clared that the people Of the United States
had Increased their sugar consumption six
POUNDS a year per capita during the past
eight years.
MI Perkins maintained that the domestic
sugar industry would not suffer by reason
of the operation of the treaty. as. should we
buy the whole Cuban crop, it would only
supply one-third of the amount needed.
Cuba. he said. had abandoned the culu-

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-09-05

Judge Belt of the Spokane county
superior court yesterday afternoon
declared the law passed by the recent
legislature requiring all hunters to
take out a license to be uncons.itu-
tional says the Spokes-Review. The
judge pronounced the act "a fearful
and wonderful piece of work." The
decision was rendered on the applica-
ton of Charles Anderson, who was ar.
rested in Hillyard for hunting without
a license, for writ of habeas corpus
The law requiring a license was at,
tackled by Anderson's attorney on
three grounds.
First, that the act does not comply
with the constitution, which provides
that no act shall embrace more than
one subject, and that shall be set out
in its title.
The second ground of attack was
that it violates the constitution, which
provides that no act shall ever be re
vised or amended by mere reference
to it's title, but the act revised or the
section amended shall be set forth
at full length.
The third ground for this attack
is that if the act is an amendment tc
section 9, chapter 134 of the laws Of
1901 it is void, as the section had beer
declared unconstitutional before the
passage of the late act. The section
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-09-05
referred to is the one which under
took to impose license on hunters.
Judge Belts Reasoning.

referred to is the one which under
took to impose license on hunters.
Judge Belts Reasoning.
Judge Belt in his decision yester
day said in part:
"It will be noticed that the legisla
tive declaration in the body of the act
is that section 9 be amended to read
as follows while the title contains
no statement that the section is to be
amended, but On contrary declares
that it is to be repealed. It will be
noticed also that section 9 Of chap
ter 124 is amended in stead of section
9 of 1874. It is beyond question tina!
section 9 of chapter 1874 is the one
intended. That section relates tt
hunters licenses, while chapter 124
relates exclusively to plotting of ir
regular tracts of land Viewed from
any standpoint it is fearful and won
derful piece of work.
eff the mistake in referring TO chap
ter 124 instead Of 1874 is to be over
looked, the act is void because the
section sought to be amended was
not in existence, it having been de
clared unconstitutional, and because
the subject of the act is not expand
ed in the title. If the mistake can not
be overlooked, then it amends moth
ing, for there is no section 9 of chap
ter 1874 and, besides, that chapter re
lates to matters entirely foreign ani
there is no difference in the title tt
chapter 124.
Legislature Has Done Nothing.
"Where the title of an act recite:
that it is to amend a certain act, bu
the body of an act makes no such re
cital and makes no declaration tina
some other act or section is to b.
amended, can readily conceive how
the courts would regard so much 0
the title as recites that the act il
amendatory as surplusage and ALLOW
| the act to stand as an independen
act, assuming that it was otherwise
| complete an original in itself. Blu
when in the body of an act the decla
ration is made that "a section is here
by amended to read as follows in m.
humble opinion the legislature ha
done just what the words import ha
been done, or it has done nothing
And if the declaration is to stand TO
anything, the act is an amedatory &C
and not an Independent act, and n
judicial legerdemain can transform i
from an amendatory to an indeper
dent act. l do not believe that tn
courts have any more authority t
strike the words that "a section i
hereby amended to read as follows
from the body of an act and disregar
any other portion of the body of tn
act.
"For the foregoing reasons l cor
clude that the act in question is al
amedatory act and can not stand a
an Independent enactment, and tina
as an amendatory act it is void an
that the defendant should therefor
be discharged from custody.

MOBILES FOR MAIL DELIVERY.

London, Sept. 5.-The London post
office authorities are engaged in an
interesting experiment with view
to determining whether motor mail
vans can be depended upon to give
more efficient service than the pres
emit horse drawn vehicles. So far as
the experiments have proceeded, it
is evident that the horse will slowly,
but surely be superseded by the mo-
tor. The first mbtor-van to be called
into requisition was an electrically
propelled vehicle, which was utilized
to carry parcels from the general
postofice to Redhill. After some ill.,
itial trouble, the service was also put

on q trial route, and SO far has not
given the slightest trouble. The Of
ficials safe this. experimental service
will undoubtedly lead to something
permanent. although years may
elapse before the horse vans are en-
tirely superseded. AS to the merits
of electricity and petroleum for the
vehicles, it is evident that both are
equally reliable, so far as the post
Office experience goes.
