JUDGE DICKINSON HOLDS EN-
ABLING ACT OF LAST LEGjs.
LATURE CONSTITUTIONAL
APPEAL TO Be TAKEN At ONCE
Test Case Brought by Auto Club
100000 In Bonds Sold for
improvements at Lake
Minnetonta.

Minneapolis, Aug. 27.-Hennepin
county's 100000 good-road bond is
sue has been declared valid by Judge
H. D. Dickinson of the district court
In his decision, Judge Dickinson sus'
tains the validity of the bonds and de-
clares that the county commissioners
may legally proceed in their campaign
for the betterment of Hennepin county
roads.
The bond issue was authorized at
the last session of the legislature.
The Minneapolis Automobile club was
instrumental in securing the passage
of the bill, and plans were at once
made for the improvement of the
roads of the county. The county COM
missioners authorized the issuance of
100000 in bonds and adopted plans
for the improvement of roads near
Lake Minnetonka.
Law Is Tested.
The 100000 issue had been sold,
when a question arose as to the vail
dity Of the issue. It was asserted that
the legislative bill is unconstitutional
and that the bond issue is void.
Believing that the question should
be settled at once, the Automobile
club, through President Horace Low
ry, brought suit to restrain County
Auditor Hugh r. Scott from issuing
the bonds. G. A. Will, attorney for
the club, drew the papers and the
county officials were called into court
to prove the legality of the issue.
Sustains Demurrer.
In district court, AL j. Smith, coun-
ty attorney, demurred to the COM
plant of Mr.. Lowry, and the question
of the validity of the bond issue was
placed squarely before Judge Dickin-
son on the demurrer. In his decision
sustaining the county attorneys de-
murrer, Judge Dickinson says the
bond issue is legal, and disposes of
the question.
The case will probably be appealed
to the supreme court to obtain final
settlement, but attorneys believe
Judge Dickinson will undoubtedly be
sustained.
Objection Not Valid.
Judge Dickinson held in the deci-
sion that the fact that population was
the basis for passing the bond issue
was not a valid objection to it's legali-
ty. 1.-THE question is to determine
whether there is rational relation be-
tween density of population and a
need for more and better roads," says
the opinion. Laws which deal with
conditions affecting a certain part Of
the population of state have been
held valid by the highest courts. A
law to be constitutional does not
have to apply to the entire population
of the state, but to those affected by
these certain conditions. The courts
have no legislative powers and hence
cannot undertake to classify certain
counties or districts. That is in the
province of the legislature. The law
makes provision for all counties COM
ing under the provisions of the stat
ute, and many laws which come much
nearer being special legislation have
been held Valid"
