houses and was voted upon favorably
by a majority of the electors Of the
state, has stood most rigid test and
Judge Evans, who heard the argu.
ments for and against its legality in
the district court at Nevada, has just
filed his decision in which he says the
law is good. In the document he
says:
"The amendment under considera-
tion Is the most complex that has ever
been submitted to vote in Iowa. It
has the appearance on its face Of
great multiplicity. confess to un.
favorable first impressions as to its
validity. There is much plausibility
in the argument against it. But un.
less we have lost our way in the maze
of the argument, and have failed to
reason correctly, it stands the most
rigid test that has ever been applied
in any state to like question.
"By careful analysis it becomes evi-
dent that it received watchful thought
from its sponsors and the legislative
committee in its framing; and the
most that can be said against it is
that it has approached close to the
dead-line."
Saturday evening the opinion was
filed with the clerk Of the courts of
Story county and Immediately the
news was sent to attorneys and others
interested in the case.
VIII Appeal Immediately.
An appeal to the supreme court will
be prosecuted Immediately. This was
practically agreed to at the time the
case was submitted to the district
judge. Each side consented to coop
crate with the other if 1t were success
full in getting the controversy to the
attention of the supreme court as
quickly as possible.
If the supreme court will consent
and the litigants and attorneys have no
doubt that in matter of so much i'm
portance as this the justices will CO.
operate cheerfully, the matter can be
submitted within three weeks. and in
the ordinary course of events an opin-
