a DEFECT IS N rAs MEASURE.
The township Assessor'o Bill Was
Altered BY Clerical Careless
ness

4 defect caused by cie~ical careless
ness. has been found IN tae township
assessors bin. sienei cy Governor
Ferguson March H. The last two sec.
tions Of the engrossed BILL repeating
the county assessor system and fixing
January j 1904. as the time when the
new law shall become operative, we're
omitted In the enrolled bil The re-
suit is that the new law became oper-
auve the moment il was approved and
signed by Governor Ferguson, making
It necessary that township assessors
should begin as soon as possible to- as
sess and list property for taxation, un-
doing the work that has been done by
county assessors since March /. This
change would require the appointment
of assessors by the mayor and coun.
ell in cities. towns and villages having
population in excess OF 1000. In
townships the trustees are assessors,
and all they need to do is to qualify.
The objection is made that this
emergency would be at great cost to
the counties and that. The intent Of
the legislature being known, it would
be proper for Governor Ferguson,
President Alexander and Speaker
Bowles to add to the enrolled bill the
last two sections of the engrossed
bill. Should this be attempted. and
there is no certainty that it will be,
the change would be resisted as
strongly as possible by persons who
believe that such action is not oniy
illegal, but that it would establish the
most dangerous precedent imaginable
where the laws could be corrupted.
There would be nothing TO prevent dis
honest men from changing any law.
The Oklahoma supreme court has held
this point that no person can gO.bo-
hind the enrolled bill 10 show what the
law should he OF what was the inten-
tion OF the legislature at The time OF
the passage of the bill Again. it Is
suggested that the legislature, having
adqiourned sine die, President Alex
an6er and Speaker Bowles have no
more Jurisdiction in changing the bill
than any other person not member
of the legislature.
