done 10 without iusciaabls GAUGE" It
has been further decided By the Su-
pseme Court o. the United Atatee, that
'if o contract when msde 10 DOT valid

AMI obligation can not bs impaired by
any Subsequent sut Of ths LegIslnturA
OF the State, or DECISIONS of its coIrts."

prohibiting me from fulfilling my con.
tract, no law could ever be passed, at
tor my appointment, abrogating that
contract.
