No Money for State Roads.

required by the constitution an aye and
nay vote must be recorded in the jour
nal Of both bodies acting upon Ireas-

ing to the Senate Journal. The court
holds that the provision is wise one
and a safeguard and II cannot be ig-
nored even when measure OF import
ance and public interest is at stake.
