er claiming that he was holding Of
hc, contrary 20 the constitution o;
'ho state of Oklahoma.
/ Second After hearing tne argl.
monts Of the attorneys represen-'nt
tho farmers. that We asked that our
. County Attorney be consulted in the
matter. and We ordered him 20 write
n brief upon the legality Of the
County Weigher. and ln his decision
he states that the Act Of tho Lexis.
lature Of May %. 1908. creating the
office Of County Weighcr and appoint.
ing those that had been elected At
the regular election, was uuconsti'u.
tIonal and that the present weirher
was filling he office without
authority:
Upon tho filing Of the County A..
tornev's opinion We sustained his
opinion. and issued an order that we
would upon the petition Of the peo-
pie meet on November 4. 15Os, and
appoint a county weigher for Carter
County: that We were eniolned from
making the appointment by the de-
fondau' IN tho District Court; and
that the Tulsa Of said Court rem
dored AN opinion ON tho subject and
IN this opinion refused 20 grant the
writ o' prohibition. but I'm plain
words said that the Legislature in
his mind had a right 20 create Tho
office ~ County Woighcr and 20
name the regularly elected welghers
that were elected in the general eloc.
ZION 20 serve the time as other rcgi.
larly elected officers. Upon this de-
cision We feel that our superior court
has already expressed his opinion
and taken from MS the very point Of
law upon which We were acting. that
