Il may b that the editor Of on

made the unfortunats-for him-mis
take Of using the words "creaturs'

does not knows We now inform
him-that
Ere,y tote cast in tAe senate and ese,l
rofe cast in tie house was in fdcoS Of "a,
Dill Not one vote was cast against

~, the leader Ut the democratic minor.
ity, and Senator Austin Regsn. Of
fessenden, the leader OF the senate
antis.
In the house every vote Of every in.
surRent that voted was in favor Ut the
bill.
In other words, out of total men,
bership Of enc hundred and forty In
the two houses. not one member voted
against the measure. As usual, at the
passage Of every bill, there was god.
sized list OF absent and not voting, /"
in which part Of the list the roll-calls
OF the house jaurnalof 'O3 show that
Representative Patteison's name was
printed goodly part Of the time.
But the one basic fact stSres at the
reader who peruses these roll-calls-
that In the two houses, with i've VI
six democratic members, and the re :.
publicany separated into two factions
on most measures, every member
~ho voted said Aye ON the passage
Vt the bill, and not one OF the ab.
sentees. even II opposed to the bill,
was enough interested In such opposi
tion to attend the session and vote
against it.
We Call Editor Patterson = attention
to these facts. He will find the SEN
ate roll call ON the final passage OF the
bill at pnge 800 Of the Senate Journal,
and the House roll call on the same
bill at pages 1912 of the House
Journal. Now, will he, after finding
that these things are as We have stat
ed, be manly enough To apologize for
the statement that the capitoI.con,-
mission bill was passed by the 'screa.
lures and tools" of Mckenzie?
AS to the crnstitutionality of the
dill. The supreme court found 1t un-
constitutional because the l. gislatur
had delegated its powers tN q commits
sion-not because the unanimous vote
in its favor had been cart by creatures
and tools Of Mckenzie or any one else.
Not only are legislative acts in ali
states continually being found uncon.
.titutional by the courts, but the de.
cisions Of lower couits presided over
by honest and upright judges are Of.
EN- reversed. That carries with it no
stigma. North Dakota legislatures
which Is true Vt all Of the agricultural
states-are composed largely Of farm
ers and business men. They make 10
pretense of being versed in the tine
points Of the law. These Things the
Record does not claim for such mem.
bersilip. But its editor DIES believe
that. almost without exception, in
both houses Of the legislature, regard.
