In less than six months after the election
held under said act.
1t is contended by relator that the bill
was passed after the governor returned
it to the senate with the proposed amend
ments, and that here the names of the
senators do appear upon the yea and nay
vote. This contention seems to me to
be untenable for IL the bill as it passed
the senate was unconstitutional and void,
it was a nullity, and there was nothing
to amend.
The bill was read three times and finally
passed before it went to the governor.
In the case of The State ex REL, Attorney
General VS.. Buckley, Gath Ala, 6l3, it is
said:
What we understand as final passage
of a bill under section "a, article of the
constitution (section 90 of the present
constitution, is a vote on its passage
in either house of the general assembly
after 1t has received three readings on
three different days in that house"
There is no pretence that the bill was
put upon it's third reading and final pas
sage as amended after 1t was returned
by the governor with his suggested
amendments. The record shows merely
that on motion of Mr.. Lusk the senate
CONQUERED in and adopted the amendments

the amendment being yeas 26 and nays

MILITARY COURSE
IS ADVOCATED

Indianapolis, December 29.-There 10
a probability that the National Com
mercia1 Teachers federation, which is.
holding its national convention here,
will adopt resolutions asking that all
athletics in the public schools be abel-
ishel and military training substituted.
e. N Miner of New York city. pres
ident of the federation, favors the plan
and wants the uniform of the military
squad substituted for that of the foot
ball and baseball teams.
Mr.. Miner believes the students would
gain thereby some training that would
be of personal value through life and
that If all of the higher education
Institutions would fall in with the idea
and adopt it the country would have
a trained manly population far more
valuable than any standing army in
the world.
