MATTER Of TWO JUDGES WILL Be
BROUGHT BEFORE SUPREME COURT

struction of the enrolled bill be i'm
mediately considered by the supreme
court in order that the ballots may
be correctly printed when ordered
by the various county clerks.
In discussing the question Attor-
ney-General Thatcher said. THE sit
uation is complex one, inasmuch as
the supreme court has handed down
numerous decisions refusing to go
behind a legislative act that has the
signatures Of the president and sec
retary of the senate and the speaker
and clerk of the assembly that has
been signed by the governor. 1t Is
expected that the matter will be
brought direct TO the attention OF
The highest judicial tribunal of this
state this week What the opinion OF
the court will be. considering their
previous action, is problematical
They may declare the act unconsti-
mtional or that it is ambiguous and
not the intent of the legislature, OF
that certain sections are invalid, and
hold that the last section, which pro
vides for the payment of the judicial
salaries, is plainly the intent Of the
act and means that but one Judge J:
to he elected. as the means for the
payment OF but one salary in pro
vided.
"The act of some incompetent en-
rolling clerk may mean that thu
counties, looking for relief from th'
payment OF large salaries and dis
continuance OF certain judgesh!ps an,
creating new districts to facilitat
litigation. will have to be satisfies
with the old law II the supreme cour
does not consider the intent OF tn
Legislature and decides that the onl
remedy is by declaring the preseu
law unconstitutional.

WASHINGTON, June 12-The bill
to repeal the tolls exemption for
American coastwise ships at the
Panama canal is law, and awaits
action of the house, having passed
the senate yesterday after pro
longed fight that was marked by
much bitterness of feeling.
The bill was returned to the house
for action on the Norris-Simmons
compromise amendment before going
to the president for signature. AS
finally adopted by the senate the
only one change made as passed by
the house. That was the amendment
reserving the right of the United
States to exempt coastwise ships
from payment of tolls.
Without formality or conference
the house voted by PIG to II to adopt
the senate's amendment to repeal the
Panama tolls exemption and sent the
bill to the president.
