ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL
State Supreme Court So Holds the
Law Under Which Was Appointed
the State Capitol Commission.

blSmarcK, N. H., NOV. l7.-Ine Su.
preme court today declared void the
law creating the capitol commission
and authorizing the construction >of
the capitol and executive mansion and
entered a permanent injunction
against further proceedings by the
capitol commission nnder the law.
The objection to the law was the in
definate provisions for the expendi-
ture of the funds in the case.
The decision was written By Judge
Morgan, a syllabus of which follows:
/. The erection of a residence for
the governor at the capital is within
the purpose of the grant Of land made
by congress to the state for public
buildings at the capital under section
II Of the Enabling Act.
2. The disposition Of such lands is
exclusively with the legislature and
its action in such matters is final un-
less violative CT some constitutional
provision and clearly contrary to the
terms OF Che granG.
3. 1t is the province of the legisla-
ture alone to determine the manner
in which said lands may be disposed
of in furtheran,e of the purposes Of
said grant.
4. All legislative power in this
state is vested in the senate and the
house of representatives and the legis-
lature cannot delegate such power in
relation to purely legislative matters.
5. The power to determine the
manner of the use of the land granted
by section II of the Enabling Act is
purely legislative and cannot be dele
gated to commission.
6. The power to limit the sum that
shall be used for each purpose the
public building authorized by said
section II is purely legislative and
cannot be delegated to a commission.
7. Chapter 116, Laws of 1905, pro-
vided Tor the appointment Of a capitol
commission by the governor. The
said commission was thereby given
the authority to remodel and recon-
struct the capitol building of the state
and 10 erect a governors residence
at the capital out Of the proceeds OF
the lands donated to the state by con-
gress. The law did not specify what
sum should be used for the capital
building nor what sum should he used
for the governors s residence, nor spec
ify when the. building shall be COM
pleted. Held that the law is invalid
as an unwarranted delegation OF pure
ly legislative powers and the board
is permanently enjoined from further
~
proceedings under the law.

Chief Engineer Foster contends that
the Astorian made a mistake in its
statement of city expenditures In the
Il item Of SIS a month for shoeing horses,
The bills as read mention the Arm
and the amount. and II was supposed
that It was for horse shoeing. The OBJ
ject In calling attention TO the mat
ter was not as criticism on the fire
department. nor the firm where the
work Is done. as II II Is not done by
one person 1t win be by another, and
the mosk experienced horseshoer in
city Is where the work Is being done.
but to impress upon the common coun-
Gil and the city officials the necessity
of practicing rigid economy In every
branch OF the city government Ac-
cording to the records OF Auditor and
Police Judge Anderson. the following
claims have been paid this year for
Ihorseshoeing and repairs to one firm.
January-New shoes sl2; stands fol
Babcock, $40; repairs, So; fire bell.
s225: repairs TO tool box. sS.75; total.
s45.
February-Shoes. $12; repairs, sl.75;
repairs. No. door. 81; total. S2O.75.
March-Shoes. s12; repairs fire
alarm boxes. IS; work No. /. $3.50;

ApriI-Shoes s12: Is spanners. ss,75;
repairs, s2.5o: iron door brick engine
house. $3.50: total. s2s,75. Total for
the four months, $iiS.
1t is possible that all these repairs
were necessary. but there is time in
the business affairs of every man
when necessary repairs are not neces.
sary and they can get along without
them until such time as they have
more money. II property owners who
rent houses made all the necessary
repairs" demanded by their tenants
there wouldn't be enough left Of the
rent money at the end Of the year 70
Ibuy one glass Of Irish disturbance.
There is one question that must be
considered by the common council and
every member Of the city government
and that is retrenchment. Unless some
REPAIR or some expenditure cannot
possibly be gotten along without. with
out seriously impairing the efficiency
Of any department, It should not be
contracted. There should be the
same economy practiced in managing
the affairs Of the city as is done in
managing ones own business Affairs
but this is seldom done, especially
where someone else has to pay the
bills. The Astorian has no other inter-
est in the matter than that which con-
Germs every tax payer In the city, but
We are satisfied that expenses Of the
city can be cut down without imparing
the efficiency Of any department.
Just becaues some little repair Is
needed or some new tool Is required,
| IL is not necessary to rush to the
stores and buy them or to the shop and
have the repairs made. 1t is possible
that other methods can be used with
out lncurring unnecessary expense
BuAness men and property owners
otter have to do without little neces-
sitits in order TO make their accounts
balance at the end Of the month, and
the same business principles should
be applied to the management Of the
business Of the city.
