And Or Term Now In Disrepuie;; Goes On Senaie Blacklist

No longer strictly according to Hoyle, it seems, is the term "andior'' with which statutes used to bristle.
 So today the Territorial Senate did something about it.
 Informed by Senator Henry Roden of Juneau that the expression had been condemned harshly by the United States Supreme Court, the Senate suspended it's rules to strike the offending term from measure into which it had slipped, probably from some bill-drafter's force of habit
 The modern way of looking at it, Senator Roden said, is that the law must mean either and" or "or" and not either and or "or" or both and and "or."
