"Second--You have no authority to
spend public funds in cleaning and
beautifying lots in the cemetery owned
by individuals. You have just as much
authority to spend the public money
in cleaning and beautifying lawns
about the residences of the people of
| the city, and we all know that you can
not do that. The money belonging in
the city treasury can only be expended
for public purposes, and the use of this
money for any other than public
purpose would be a violation of the
law and would render the mayor and
commissioners who voted for its ap
preparation to private purpose, liable
to Indictment"
Commenting on this matter the com
mission assures The News that they
appreciate very much the splendid
work done by the ladies of the Gem
etery Association and say that thei
labor of love should be highly appre
ciated and substantially recognized b,
those owning lots in the cemetery
They further assert that they desire t
ave the city sexton cooperate in ever
way possible with them in any wor
demanding such cooperation.

some plans for further beautifyin
the grounds and these will be carrie
out as early as possible.

Collins uzzled About
Meeting Solons' Request

lem that puzzles the attorney general.
The joint legislative resolution sug-
gested that In event no suit can be in
stituted that the supreme court be
requested to give an opinion on the
subject. In recent years, however, the
Supreme Court has been very reluct-
ant about giving opinions except when
the question comes directly before the
tribunal from a lower court, and there
is a possibility that it might decline to
do so in this instance.
Summing it up briefly, while the leg
islature devoted great deal of atten
ton to the elective judiciary muddl'
last week, it failed to make any head
way in solving the problem, and il
legal circles the opinion prevails tina
the attorney general will not succeed
| in doing 80.

Jackson, Miss June 20.-Attorney
General Ross A Collins is trying to
figure out some way to comply with
the resolution adopted by the legisla-
ture last week requesting him to file
suit to test the constitutionaiity Of
Gov. Brewers veto of the bill putting
the elective judiciary amendment into
effect.
The attorney general has thus far
been unable to figure out who he can
sue, and there is large element of
doubt as to the right Of any court to
take jurisdiction in the matter. There
has never been an effort heretofore to
subject a Governors veto to judicial
review, and just how to enforce a law
that really isn't law, and has never
been on the statute books, is the prob
