his respects to the recent actioH Of

by that constitution they gave to
Congress the sole power Of legislation.
BY the constitutions Of the several
states they gave to their Hottie Of Reps
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 right to complain II the
people in lawful ways abolish those
constitutions and take back to them.

racy-not constitutional democracy
which now exists-the exclusive pow.
er of legislation and all the powers Of

But the alarming situation 10 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 It 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,
or will have shortly, in defiance Of
your constitution. by which you said:
The sole power Of legislation shall be
vested in Senate and House Of Rep.
resentatives,' legislative act which
will so far curtail that power !. that
nothing but the shadow of It is left
with those bodies, and in the fact Of

House Of Representatives should have
that power. you. 1t seems to me, say.
We have It, / say view these mat
