In his order forbidding the issue of
bonds II SO voted. Judge Lewis pays
his respects to the recent action Of
the Legislature as follows:
by that constitution they gave to
Congress the sole power of legislation.
BY the constitutions Of the several
states they gave to their House of Rep
resentatives and their Senate the sole
and exclusive power OF legislation.
They said on all of those constitutions
that they were the supreme law Of the
land. the supreme law of the state. No
man has a right to complain If the
people in lawful ways abolish those
constitutions and take back to them
selves, by establishing pure democ-
racy-not a constitutional democracy
which now exists-the exclusive pow
er of legislation and all the powers Of
the government
but the alarming situation Is that
men who understand all Of these prin-
ciples Of government. will acquiesce in
overriding the constitution, not in abol-
ishing 1t, not first setting 1t aside and
taking back to themselves these pow
ers but while those constitutions are
In force, which they have said are the
supreme law of the land and which
they bind the courts by solemn oath
to enforce. they seek to override con-
stantly. So we have. here in Colorado.
