Senate and 73 in the House and 34 when It camo up Tor pas sage again in the Senate and 66 in tii House oxer the veto With announcement by Governor Hanly in his message yesterday that he had an opinion fromx At torney General Bingham to the effect that the law is unconstitutional' friends of the claim were surpiised inasmuch as' the atUhnoy general at 4 he last session in responseto a request from the 'Senate furnished an opinion to the constitutional It is explained ney general that opinion' furnished sldered only the bill nd the Constitution and law of the State ot Indiana as lie interpreted them and did not puss upon the merit or demerit of the claim In the preparation of the opinion submitted to Governor Hanly the attorney general based his 'statements on the statement of facts submitted to him by the Governor Law Hanly Holds Is Violated It is contended by Governor Hanly that the law violates Section 6 of Article 10 of the state Constitution as it creates a debt This law provides that law shall authorize any debt to bo contracted on behalf of the state except the fol lowing cases To meet casual deficits in the revenue to pay the Interest on the state debt to repel invasion suppress in surrection or if hostilities be threatened provide for the public The "attorney general in his opinion to the Senate savs that if the courts in considering the bill should come to the conclusion that it is an attempt to create a debt upon the part of the state and does not merely recognise an existing in debtedness thev would undoubtedly hold the enactment unconstitutional Inasmuch as it apparent that in that event it would fall within any one of the classes of powers mentioned in Article 10 Section 5 of the on the other savs the at torney general courts of the state should arrive atJhe conclusion that this bill simply changes the form of an in debtedness for which the state is now liable the above section of the Constitu tion would have no application whatever as 4t only refers to the creation and not to the recognition of debts contractedpon behalf of the In closing his opinion the attorney general says: The courts may inquire whether a liabil ity actually existed on the part of the state at the time of this enactment which was capable of recognition by the bill in ques tion The decision of the Legislature upon that question would be no more controlling upon the courts than Its decision that a con tingency had arisen when a new debt should be contracted in cases where at first blush it was apparent to any reasonable person tnat such a contingency naa In ascertaining whether a isted at ttie time tne statute courts might resort not only knowledge but to extrinsic recitals and statements of ences therefrom contained in the title and peramble of the statute while there might be evidence of the facts therein referred to wouia not oe conclusive The bill Jn Question on that there Is an existing debt of $120548 uue tne ooara or trustees University from the State of Indiana and to Issue bonds In payment thereof would only be changing the form of an existing Indebt edness and assuming without deciding that5 such indebtedness does exist and consider ing only the terms of the bill In question it is my opinion that the same la constltu tional 'Held New Debt Is Created The opinion furnished Hanly by Miller Shirley city goes into the history cennes University claim nevs maintain that nrlor 1907 when the law providing for the pay ment of the $120000 claim passed the entire claim had been settled and paid and language as clear as lan guage can be written the trustees of the university had jeccipted theietor in In other words it is held that the law creates a new debt and is therefore In violation of Section 5 of Article 10 of the Constitution The opinion continues: It will be observed that neither In tho nreamble nor in any nart of this of March 9 1907 Is it asserted that al Dio time this act was passed the state wus as a matter of law indebted to Vincennes Uni versity in any sum whatever Neither did the report of the secretary auditor and treasurer of state assert either directly or at tne time ot the making the

Leading irm in Support of His Contention Debt Is Created Declares County Lopal Option Will Not Interfere Wlth'Mqore or Nicholson Laws One of the arguments' used by brew ery lobbyists against the enactment of a county unit local optlondaw is that it ill repeal the Moorfc remonstrance law and it is contended that a bill can not be so framed that it will clearly show that such is the intention of the Legislature In reply to these arguments Min ton 'legislative superintendent of the Anti Saloon League whp drcw the orig inal draft of the Moore remonstrance law has Issued a statement or opinlin in which he contends that the bill can be and has been so framed that if passed it will not repeal the Nicholson law nor the Moore remonstrance law or Interfere with their operation The statement in part is as follows: question has been before' the courts of other states and perhaps the clearest statement is from Texas They have a statute providing for local option by precinct town city and county The precinct has voted no license but in a subsequent election no license failed to carry in the county as a whole The: applicant contended that asfc the countv had rejected prohibition he was entitled to a license in a no license precinct But tn Ex parte Cox 28 Tex Ap 537 13 826 othe court says: failure to carry (local option) in the entire county would leave the status of any of these subdivisions Tf the county just as it was before the county election was held If local option already existed it would still remain in force if It did not xisi the subdivisions could immediately claim an i other election for their locality without waiting for the expiration of nvo venrs It is only when local option has been car ried for the entire countv at nn election for the
