" AMENDMENTS vkl REGULARLY PASSED. 2o Departure This Year From the Custom Regarding Sequence of Publications. PROOFS FILED AT CAPITAL. Charges of Illegality Brought Against Changes to Constitutiou Recently Voted On 'ot War ranted bv State Records. RUPFHMC SPECIAL. Jpffcf-on Citv. .Mo, Xov. 21 Much has boon slid concerning; the legality or alleged illegalitj- of the publication of the proposed constitutional amendments voted on at tho ncent general election. Your correspondent has examined tho vouchers on file in the State Auditor's olhce, vvhiLli contain tho proofs of publication of the several and divers amendments submitted since the adoption of the Constitution of 1S73 for the purpose of determining whether there had been a departure this jear from precedents estahll-hed jears ago. Tho result is that It can be stated positively that the publica tion of the amendments this jear conforms In all particulars to those of previous jear--. Amendments were submitted nnd conse qnuitlv published .n tho jeam 1S7S, 1SSA ISjl. lkSC. 1K, 1S92. 1S31 and 1S9, the last four within the period the present Secre tary of State has ben In oHlce. In each ear, us shown by the proofs of publica tion, the publication was mndo four times, for four consecutive weeks, the last publication lieine; made in the last Issue of the paper prior to the day of elec tion. Tor instance. In lS7b. Michael K. Mc Grath being Secretary of btate. in the Leb anon Hurtle, the first publication was made Saturday. October 12, the second Saturday, tho 19th. tho third Saturday, the 26tb. nnd the fourth and l.tit Saturday, November 2, tho du of election being Tuesday, Novem ber 5. This unquestioned precedent as to limes of publications of the amendments was established bj Secretary McGrath in the jears 1SSJ. 1SS4 and ISSG. and observed by his successor, A. A. Lesneur, during the years. 1S90, 1S92, 1S94 and 1S95, jears whui amendmenLi were submitted. Proofs of 1'ubllL-atIon. Proofs of publication have been received at tho Secretary of State's office so far this jear from about half the newspapers publishing tho proposed amendments, tho dates varvlng with the d.ijs of issue of the dlfiercnt papers, but all showing four con secutive publications, the last appearing in the last issue of the i paper prior to tho day of election just as in all previous ears. If the amendments submitted thjs jear are di.fe.ited for want of proper und legal publication, then the Kansas Citj- Court of Appeals and tho Supremo Court of this State, as row constituted, are without lcsal existence, the former being established by an amendment thus adopted in 1&S2, and the latter enlarged from live to seven juuges by tho adoption of an amendment In like m-inner In ISM. ,, The reports are full of decisions establish ing the legality and sufficiency of such pub l'citlons. A distinguished Jurist to-day cited vour correspondent to an opinion by Judge Bliss Ir. 4.1 Missouri reports, 2T.2, wherein the Court declares that "the notice was published in a weekly 'papei. In four con secutive numbers, which makes four Commenting on this opinion. Judge Bar clay declares In 123. Mo . p. 346, that what ever we might think of the ruling in tho forty-fourth report as an original proposi tion, it has been acquiesced in so fully and treated as a. settled point of practice in making publications in all sorts of proceed ings for so many jears. that wo decline to re-examine It.

ALL MORTGAGES TAXED. . s Amendment dumber Three Covers Liens in Existence. REPUBLIC SrECTAL. Jefferson City. Mo.. Nov. Sl-Attornej General V. C. Crow, at the request of Gov ernor Stephens, to-night gave the opinDn below as to how amendment No. allects mortgages alreadj in existence: Honorable Lon V. Stephens. Governor. Jefferson Citj-. Mo : Dear Sir ou have submitted to mo tho following question, to 'Does constitutional amendment No. 3 subject mortgages alreadj In existence to taxation under the terms of the amend ment?' .. . .. (. "In reply thereto, allow me to say that on March 7. 1SS1. an amendment of which amendment No. 3 Ig an almost exact copy was approved and became operative in Cali fornia. Tho question jou submit w nj pre sented to the Supreme Court of Callfoi.iia In McCoppm vs. McCartney ct al.. w) s-.n . p. 357, nnd the court held that th amend ment to the Constitution as to the taxation of mortgages applied to mortgages executed prior to the adoption of tho amendment. The amendment No. 3 for ns pun osr of taxation makes the mortgage an Interest In the land. The amendment declares tho status of the mortagage for taxation ard lKes Us status as jn Interest in the land. "It Is tho plain intent of the amendment to the Constitution to tax. as an Interest In tho land, the mortgage. "The existing mortgage Is deemed an In terest In tho real estate, and Its value is as sessed to the mortgagee: the balance of tho value 13 assessed to the land-owner. The mortgagee, prior to the adoption oflhp amendment, did not have a tsted right of exemption from taxation. "Tho fact that the amendment No. 3 makes, for the purpose of taxation, an ex isting mortgage an interest In the real estate und provides for Its value to be as sessed to the mortgage, no more violites any tontract or vested right of a crodltor than would n, provision bv which, for tho flrnt time, tho owner Of any tangible prop erty should be taxed won its -value. "The amendment No 3 Is evidently adopted from the California Constitution. "The rule of construction is that where a clause of a constitution has been adopted in ono State from the Constitution, of an other, after a judicial construction has been given it in such lust-mcntlonfd State, it is but just to regard tho construction to have been adopted as well as the words. "Follow Ing this rule of legal Interpreta tion, I am of the opinion that amendment No. 3 will. If adopted, subject mortgages al readj' In existence, to taxation tinder the terms of the amendment.

Justice McLaughlin of the Now York Appellate Court jaid: "It cannot be seriously questioned that every workman has the right, in the first ln Ptance, to sav for whom nnd with whom he will work. This ripht Is given to every per son of legal age who ii competent to act. An employer has tho absolute right to say whom he will employ, and the emplojo has tho right to say by whom he will be em ployed and with whom ho will work. The right Is reciprocal, and once that right Ii destrojed personal Hhertj- Is destrojed and chaos reigns. And If ono has the right, acting in hH own individual capicltv-. ho does not lose it when acting with others clothed with an equal right, so that em ployers ma j' combine and snj- that they will not employ persons who are member1" of a labor organl7ation. and laborers may combine and say thej- will not work for emplojers who engage anr but members of their labor organization.

Oliver of tho mechanical engin eering department of the University of Illi nois, under advice of Professor Brecken ritlge, has developed a machine which will record automatlcallj- different llne of data with regard to the speed and power of en gines Tills universal recorder can bo ap plied to either gas or steam engine, or to a dj namomctcr car, and is capable of taking nnv one or all of eight readings by means of. ink tubes passed over an endless roll of paper. The ink tubes are attached to the armatures of electro-magnets and theie Magnets are electrically connected with the different parts of the engine to be tested, nnd are actuated bv the electric current. The recorder gives faithfully the speed of the engine, the number of horse power ev erted, the rate of the occurrence of the ex plosions und the number of revolutions per minute of a gas engine. The machine is very carefully worked out, and should prove of great value in experimental as well as practical work. Tliron-rh Cascade Tunnel. Minneapolis.
