FATE OF AMENDMENTS
DEPENDS UPON THE DECISION SUPREME
AGAINST CIRCUIT
CLERK LINCOLN coUNrY-JUocE
AMENDMENT

The recent advancement OF the case
OF R. R. Rice VS.. II. D. Palmer, involv-
ing the question as to which is en-
titled to the Office Of clerk of Lincoln
county, and carrying with it the fate
OF several important amendments to
the state constitution, by the supreme
court as a matter Of public concern, has
attracted much interest among the
lawyers of the state, and the courts
decision. which, it is supposed. will be
given soon, will attract much atten-
ton. r. r. Rice was appointed clerk
CT Lincoln county after the death of
+ A. Meroney, clerk elect, who died
few days before his term of Office
would have begun. AS incumbent
Palmer claimed that the Office reverted
to him until an election was held for
his successor and denied the right Of
the governor to make the appointment.
When the case was tried in the cir
cult court Judge A. B. Grace sustained
the contention of Mr.. Palmer and
held that the constitutional amend
ment giving the governor power to
make appointments to fill vacancies
was not legally adopted, although it
was declared adopted by the speaker
of the house of representatives at the
~ hn Loo ic1o f,,rn in 1SOS
whereupon Captain Rice took an ap-
peal to the supreme court.
Amendment No 2 to the state con-
situion, making he holding of a poll
tax receipt a necessary qualification
for voting, also came up In the United
States district court in this state, and
was declared by Judge Trieber to have
not been adopted, although it was
declared by the speaker of the house
Representatives in 1898 to have been
adopted, and has been in effect since.
The question as to whether the
amendments We're adopted hinges up
or construction by the supreme
court of the law which specifies that
an amendment to the constitution, to
| be adopted, must receive {: majority
| Of the electors voting in the election.
| The amendments hanging in then
| balance are as follows:
| No. 2 (poll taxi, which was sflbhit-
ted in 1892, and for which 75,9i0 vote s
were cast and 56.GO1 voted against
| The highest vote cast in that election
| was 156,6O0 for state land commits

He has now colony Of nearly thirty

they have no welcome for strangers.
On bright sunshiny afternoons Mr..

they are given entire possession of

becoming the source of considerable
complaint from citizens who fail to
