Description

Quo Warrantor ? Statutes ? Constitution ? Title ? Insufficiency. Statutes ? Title ? Purpose of Constitutional Provision. 1. The purposes of section 23, Article V of the Constitution, prohibiting the passage of an Act the subject of which is not clearly expressed in its title, are to restrict the legislature to the enactment of laws the subjects of which are made known to it and the public and to guard against fraud which may result from incorporating in the body of a bill provisions foreign to its general purpose and concerning which no information is given by the title. Same ? Insufficiency of Title ? Act Void. 2. Held, that the title to Chapter 93, Laws of 1925: "An Act to amend sections 4318 and 4327 of the Revised Codes of 1921, relating to changing the boundaries of Fergus and Judith Basin counties," the effect of section 1 of which Act was to include within the boundaries of Fergus county the entire county of Petroleum created in February, 1925, thus abolishing the latter county, is insufficient to meet the requirement of section 23, Article V of the Constitution above, rendering the section invalid.
