PUBLIC RAILWAY
Law IS VOID
Constitution FOrbids Submitting
Question 20 Electors Of Pro-
posed District.

The constitution OF the state OF
Idaho specifically prohibits the build
ing Of a railroad by counties or other
political subdivisions of the state,
according to the supreme court opin-
ion handed down, holding the rail-
road district Law enacted by the tenth
session of the legislature unconstitu-
tional. The opinion was in the case
OF Reilly Atkinson vs.. the board of
commissioners of Ada county, an ac-
ton for a writ OF mandate to compel
the board to call an election for the
purpose of submitting the question
Of the erection OF such a district to
the electors and property owners of
the county.
1T was never anticipated or in
tended by the trainers of the consti-
tuition" the court states. that coun-
ties or other political subdivisions
would or could enter into the bust
ness OF railroad building but on the
contrary the specific prohibitions
found in the constitution manifest a
clear purpose and intent to prohibit
the state or county or any subdivis-
ions thereof from entering into any
such enterprise.
The court after discussing the pro-
Visions OF the constitution forbidding
union Of public and private capital
or lending credit to any enterprise
whatever, continues:
1t is said that this provision does
not prohibit the county or other sub
division building and owning a road
in its entirety. 1t is true that the
prohibition against absolute owner
ship Is not in so many words in the
constitution but is clear from the
context and language that it was
never contemplated that the counties
or other political subdivisions would
or could go into railroad building
and so the trainers Of the constitu-
ton forbade donations or ownership
in part.
They evidently appreciated the
fact that railroad, to be OF any val
ne to the people of Idaho, must ex-
tend further than across county
or even across the state. That it
must reach the market not merely
at the end Of the line but at both
ends.
IF the people want to authorize
the formation of railroad districts
they can readily do so by attaching
an amendment to the constitution.
But until they do so we are con-
strained to hold such acts In con-
hict with the constitution"
The opinion was written by JUS
tlce Ailshie and is eoncurred In by
Chief Justice Sullivan and Justice
Stewart. Some of the provisions OF
the syllabus are as follows: THAT
which the constitution directly pro-
hibits may not be done by lndirection
or by general legislative act (Which
is meant and intended to include
and accomplish the purposes and
objects specifically or implicitly pro-
hibited."
The building of railroad is not
within itself an exercise of govern
mental power but Is purely business
enterprise and II 1t is to be engaged
in by the state or any OF Its political
subdivisions It must be done by vir-
tue OF the proprietary powers of the
state or political subdivisions there
of and not under the political OF
general welfare powers of the state. =

Few persons realize that a horses

mails having toes. The horn Of a boot
grows just as toe NAH does. The
hoof grows more rapidly In unshod
horses than in those wearing shoes
and it grows faster in horses which
are we'll groomed. and well fed. But
on an average the horn grows about q
third Of an inch month. Hind hoofs
grow faster than fore boots. The toe
Of the hoof being the longest part II
takes longer for the horn to grow
down there than at the heel. For in,
stance, the toe will grow entirely down

words Of Charlotte Bronte when, hav-

of domestic felicity from the lips of

the sound of some murmured words
Of prayer that God would spare her.

and living. BY tramping and pressing
them with the feet milky substance
oozes out, whereupon the sponge dies.
They are then immersed in the sea

cleaning, drying and bleaching. they
take on the fine yellow color which
