once more the list of early Utah
pioneers has been lessened by the visi-
tation of death, the member to answer
the summons this time being James
Madison Fisher, ST., OF East Mill Creek.
Salt Lake county, who departed this
life Jan. /. 1906. A resident of Utah
since September, 1850, Mr. Fisher had
passed through most OF the trials,
hardships and thrilling experiences in
cident to the colonization Of the west
ern wilds, and the part played by him
as scout and Indian fighter, would, IL
detailed, make long an interesting
story OF heroism and duty well per-
formed. Most Of his comrades of
those strenuous days preceded him into
the great beyond, and soon the time WIN
be when not one of the noble band will
remain in mortality, so rapidly are the
ranks being depleted by the visitation
of the grim reaper.
Mr.. Fisher was a native of Freetown,
Beaver county Pa, where he was born
July %, 1888. His parents We're Joseph
and Eveline McLane Fisher. He became
a member of the Church in his youth.
and came TO Utah three years after
the arrival of the first pioneers, He
took a prominent part In the building
up of the commonwealth and was a
man much respected by wide circle
of friends.
The funeral services over his remains
were held yesterday in the East Mill
Creek meetinghous, The large new
building was filed until many were
obliged to stand during the meeting.
Among the assembled multitude We're
seen the faces of great many of the
old aud faithful veterans of the
Church from various parts OF the state,
tesitfying to the wide circle of friends
and sincere esteem the sterling charac-
ter of the deceased had created.
The floral decorations were beautiful
and profuse, and the numbers of
mourners was unusually large. The

+bat the act of the legislature in queS-
tion Is unconstitutional Tor TWO rea-
sons. First. that II contains other SUP
3erts Than are expressed in its title
;Art 6. Sec. 22l and secondly, that
these sections revice or amend previous
srte of the legislature or sections
,hereof without re-enacting the same
and publishing them at length Cart. 8,
Sec. 23).
Judge Howell, in his decision, Is not
long In arriving at the conclusion that
ire act Of the legislature providing for
Tie consolidation OF schools in certain
instances is not unconstitutional, ana
the question most considered by him is
as TO whether the board Of county COM
mlssioners acted under the authority of
the act mentioned and of previous acts
governing the abolition, consolidation
or creation of school districts
THE CONTENTIOUS.
The argument of counsel for the
plaintiffs WAS gone into cxhaustively
by the court The contentions, in effect,
were as follows;
THAT while this section gives the
board OF county commissioners power
10 create, subdivide or consolidate
school districts, It nowhere authorizes
the board to abolish them, and that
therefore its action in ahoishing all
the school districts was null and void.
1t Is next insisted by counsel for the
plaintiffs that. assuming the board had
the right to abolish all the school dis
trcts in the county, It did not have the
power 10 create a school district out
a OF the territory In which the abolished
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1907-01-07
noARp HAD THE RtGHT.

Upon these points Judge Howell says:
"The logic OF these arguments is un-
doubtedly unanswerable II the various
motions passed by the board of county
commissioners ON the Ord OF July, 1905,
are to be considered separately. II
seems to the court however that they
should not be so treated, but that they
should all be construed together, for IL
is obvious that they We're all passed
with a single purpose. namely, TO or
ganize all OF the county lying outside
OF Ogden City into one school district.
SO considering them what difference
does Il make whether the board SIM
ply said. AN the districts outside Of
Ogden City are hereby consolidated
into one district or whether II said,
All the school districts outside OF Og-
den City are hereby abolished, and out
of the territory IN which they formerly
existed is created one district The
act of consolidating school districts nee
essarily involves the abolition OF those
formerly existing and even II no men,
ton of their abolition had been made,
they would nevertheless have been
abolished by the consolidation. The
mere fact, then, that they were ex-
pressly abolished cannot nvalidate this
action OF the board of county commits
sioners. when the obvious purpose OF 1t
was consolidation. If, instead Of pass
ing the motion to abolish first and the
motion TO create afterwards, the board
had passed the motion to create first
and to abolish afterwards II would not
seriouslv he commended that the action
was invalid because OF the procedure,
and what difference does the order OF
the motions make? The board OF
county commissioners had the undoubt-
ed right IN copsonance with the case
Of the Sixteenth school district of Da-
Wis county VS. the board Of commissions
ers of Davis county. rs Utah 800 I'm one
brett tn TO consolidate ali the school dis
tricts of the county into one district"
DUTY OF TREASURER,
After going into each phase of the
case in detail, Judge Howell says:
"The court having arrived at the con-
clusion, then, that the statute provid-
ing for county school districts of the
first class Is constitutional, that the
Weber county school district Is valid
and legal. and that it has the requisite
school population to bring It within the
statute. It follows that the board Of
county commissioners was justified In
proceeding under IL, that the county
board of education created bv the
hoard of county, commissioners is a To-
gally constituted public hodv. that its
actions within the scone of it's authori-
tv are binding upon the plaintiffs and
the public. that said board was iusti-
fed in proceeding to perform It's duties
in entering upon contracts TO erect
school buildings. etc, and that II is the
duty of the county treasurer to turn
over TO the said board the school funds
in his hands.
"The demurrer of the defendants to
the complaint of the plaintiffs should
therefore be sustained, and II the plain
tiffs elect to stand upon their complaint
the action should be dismissed"
