CHR1sTIANsON's OPINION

Upon the oral argument it was
frankly conceded, and the MEM
bers of the court all agreed, that
il House Bill No. 60 had been en-
acted at a regular session Of the
legislative assembly it would un-
questionably be invalid as VIOLA
tive Of Section G7 of the constitu-
tion: But it is contended that
Section 81 applies only to laws en-
acted at a regular session and has
no application to laws enacted
at a special session, of tho
legislative assembly. The question
presented in this case is whether
the conclusion is sound.
''ln opinions prepared by isso-
ciates 'Birdzell, Bronson and
Grace it is held that Section C7
applies to all legislative enact
mcnts--thOsc enacted at a special
as we'll as those enacted at regu-
lar session. In the opinions pre-
pared by Justices iBirdzell and
Bronson many, and it seems to- be
unanswcrable, reasons are ad-
vanced for the conclusions reach
ed.
81 shall not cndeavor to ad-
vance further for different reasons.
In fact am of the belief that
Section G7 furnishes its own argu-
ment.
1T expressly says:-'No act Of the
legislature shall take effect, etc
1t does not say:--'No act enacted
at regular session Of the legis-
lature shall take effect, ETC. The
language is all-inclusive. lt-and
the preceding sections,--cover all
Legislative enactments whether
enacted at a regular or special
legislative session. BY the ex.
press command of the constitu.
tion this language must be con-
strued as mandatory and prohib.
tory COnst. Sec. 2l.
ut is the sworn duty Of the
members of this court to give ef-
feet to the will Of the people as
expressed in the fundamental law.
Hence, it must be held that House
Bill No. 60 contravenes Section
67 of the constitution and in fact
is no law at all"
A. NJ. CHRISTIANSON, C. J.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1920-01-17

Repudiated by supreme court which they
helped to elect, leaders of the Townley move
ment come out of the House Bill go fasco dis
credited, stripped of the last shred of respect,
exposed as men who would deliberately set
aside the constitution when that fundamental
basis of law stands between them and their
selfish ambitions.
Nothing since the organization Of the Non
partisan league was first conceived has so
served to reveal the complete disregard en-
tertained by the leaders Of this movement for
any established form Of government which
stands in the way of their plans. The conflict
between House Bill 60 and the clear wording
of the constitution of North Dakota, as amend
ed, only a year ago through the dictates Of
these same leaders, was SO apparent that the
average grammar school student could easily
discern it. AND STILL THIS MAN LEMKE,
THE TEMERITY TO GO BEFORE A DIGNI-
FLED BODY OF JURISTs, SWORN TO UP.
HOLD THE CONSTITUTION AND THE
LAWS OF THEIR STATE, AND TO ASK
THEM TO STULTIFY THEMSELVES IN
ORDER THAT HE MIGHT PUT THROUGH
HIS SCHEME FOR THE MORE COMPLETE
DOMINATION OF NORTH DAKOTA
Anarchy could not 60 further; Russia, even
under Trotzky and Lenine, can offer no more
glaring example of dictatorship which would
override all rights of the people and degrade
the constitution.
North Dakota should give thanks for House
Bill CO. It has put socialism communism, if
you will--to the supreme test in North Dakota.
The conflict between the anarchistic will of an
autocratic dictator and the constitutional will
expressed by democratic people reached a
crisis at an opportune moment. Had the die

LETTER FROM SIMS
Admiral Sims testimony was in
the form of letter to Secretary
Daniels entitled Some naval les
sons of the great war" which Mr..
Daniels received several days ago.
The letter criticized the depart
ment for attempting to administer
the details Of action by the Am
erican naval forces overseas and
alleged that the department de-
manded that it be permitted to
pass fully on all plans even those
regarding actions against the en-
emy.
When Admiral Sims finished
reading the letter Chairman Gale
announced that the full naval
committee to Investigate Admiral
Sims charges Of lack of coopera-
ton or to appoint a separate sub
committee to conduct the inquiry.

BEER AND BOOZE MIX;
.BURLEIGH CORONER is
MULCTED FINE OF $40

+. Dickinson, Jan. 17.-By Jove,
they will do it. Little business
trips sometimes result rather dis
astrously. County Coroner Anton
Beer Of Bismarck blew into the
Queen City few days ago on such
a trip but meeting with a-bunch Of
his friends it was soon a case Of
where business interfering with
pleasure cut out the business. That
is just what he did but it cost
Beer dearly. Being onto the ropes
his friends found some rocky and
the inevitable happened, even the
trip to the police magistrate tne
next morning and the customary
fine of $40 and costs. Officer Tom
McDonough made the arrest.

THE BALTIMORE ORIOLES.

"Ah," said one of the young Balu-
more orioles, "it won't be long now
before 1t is spring and i'm the spring
everything so fine happens.
1--WE choose our mates and our
mates take us after a long while"
"Yes, l heard my father was ever
so long waiting for my mother. They
said that sometimes he'd ask her a
hundred times day to marry him"
THAT was what they said Of my
father" said the first young Balti-
more oriole whose name was Jackie
OriOle, while the second speaker was
named Brucie Oriole.
ut is what they said of my father,

IT'S the way of the Baltimore ORR
Oles" said Jackie. "But I'll keep af-
ter the one l care for until l win her"

But dear me-" said Jackie, "how
the little dears will keep us waiting"
1T won't be long now before we be-
gin our courtship," said Brucie.
And Wen go North again." said
Jackie.

"The third week in September"
Mine left the fourth week." said
Brucie. 1--WE leave about the same
time, don't we2 Our great family is
much alike-every Baltimore Oriole is
much alike"
ITS very sensible" said Jackie.
ITS nice to think of being further
North when they have their beautiful
summer. In fact, we go ahead of the
summer. We go North, so I've heard,
for last year l wasn't around in the
early spring, when things are begin
ming to come out.
That's very sensible. We see the
lovely spring and the summer, and we
leave when everything is starting to
90, the leaves, the summer birds, and
the midsummer flowers"
my father is so handsome" said
Brucie, that it is no wonder my moth
er loved him."
"Ah, you're handsome, too" said
Jackie, "and your turn will come
soon"
"Ah," said Brucie, 81 don't want to
be so handsome as I do want to be

"My mother was such a good home
maker" said Jackie,
"Ah, yes" said Brucie, "our home
life was very lovely. That's the way
1t should be. What's the use in hav-
ing home life If it isn't happy and
nice and comfy and cOzy and CHEEKY
with each trying to make it so nice for
the other.
That's the nice part Of a home and
a home life that 1t can be made so
jolly and nice.
"Why, where my family lived last
summer there was the incest family.
They lived in their garden and on
their back porch so much of the time
and without any visitors around I'd
hear them laughing and joking and
doing things for each other and hav-
ing such a fine time. And when birth
days came! Well, such celebrations
as they used to have.
