What's the Constitution Between Friendsl

What's the Constitution Between Friends
What's the constitution between friends any
way? The democratic guardians Of this sacred
ark Of the covenant down at the state house
have each taken a solemn oath to obey and en-
force the constitution Of Nebraska, but are now
adays busy finding ways TO violate II. One sec
ton OF the constitution says expressly:
No money shall be drawn from the treasury ex-
cept in pursuance to specific Appropriation made
But when the state treasurer refused to
honor warrants drawn In favor of the fire war
den for moneys which the legislature had failed
TO appropriate, the attorney general advised that
the requisitions be nonetheess honored because
the fire warden's office collected fees in suffi-
cheney to cover the amount. To overcome the
persistency OF the tTeasurer's refusal, leave was
finally asked OF the supreme court to file an
application for a writ of mandamus, whereupon
the treasurer suddenly discovers that the APP
preparation OF fire wardens fees made by the
preceding legislature OF 1919 is available up to
September last. Presto change! The treas
urer reconsiders his rofcsa the attorney gen
oral withdraws his .aa..S-mus petition, and the
tng-of-war is temporarily postponed.
But another section of the state constitution
reads:
Each LEGISLATURE shall make appropriation for the
expenses Of the government until the expiration of
the first quarter after the adjournment of the
regular session. and all appropriations shall end
with such fiscal quarter.
II usually has been assumed that the appro-
priations OF each legislature lapsed not later
than July OF each biennial year The purpose
is to prevent continuing appropriations and
make each administration stand financially on
It's own bottom. II this provision of the consti-
tuition, therefore, means anything, 1t is hard to
see how the appropriation referred to remains
available to the first of September without laps
ing. except by stretching the plain letter OF the
law.

cause OF the conviction held that Uncle

national defense, and TO promote our
commerce throughout the world NV
convictions along this line have been
more than confirmed by the utterances
or some OF the best men of the nation.
and the Navy League Of the United
