Newton, J.,
concurring.
I concur in the opinion of Spencer, J. The question of the constitutionality of section 83-1,105, R. S. Supp., 1972, as adopted at the Eighty-second Session of the Nebraska Legislature, has not been raised in this case.
Since this statute reduces every felony penalty fixed by other statutes, makes it impossible for a court to fix a flat, as distinguished from an indeterminate sentence, and also effectively prevents the imposition of maxi*548mum sentences as prescribed by other statutes, it would appear to be amendatory of every statute fixing a penalty for the commission of a felony and violative of Article III, section 14, Constitution of Nebraska.
