constitutional scheme Of government,

Meanwhile said Mr.. Fox. the en-
forcement measure. which is now known
as the national prohibition act will, if
sustained by the courts, deprive accused
persons of a trial by jury and make
them prove their innocence and no

atious regulations which will take SO
much time and trouble that busy doc

sented
The majority opinion. in effect held
that the bill is unconstitutional. accord
ing to a statement made later by Chief
Justice A. NJ. Christensen.
Doubt as TO whether or not the de-
cision under the text of the opinion

was expressed in capital letters, The
question was put to Chief Justice
Christensen who replied:
THE body Of the opinion may not
make 1t appear so, but that is the short
way Of stating it.
Affects Scme 30 Laws.
In dissenting, Justice Robinson de-
clared that the majority decision will
seriously impede and hamper the states
industrial program.
The decision affects approximately
half of the - measures enacted By the
recent special session. The acts affected
include mainly those on which factional
fight developed between the independents
and the Non-Partisan league members OF
the legislature.
The legislators supported by and in
support of the league, although in the
majority. did not record sufficient vot-
ing strength on many measures which
they fostered TO obtain the twothirds
vote required to attach an emergency
clause making the legislation effective
immediately.

was passed by the special
session withou. an emergency clause

blanket measure. 1t was contended that
