This proposed amend ment provides that the supreme court of the state shall, when requested by a majority vote ot the legislature, give its decision on constitutional questions, state policy or other mat ters railing for a final opinion. Many of the states have such a constitutional provision, and it is believed that it would have a salutar) effect in preventing the passage of measures which are unconstitutional and which merely add to the burden of courts and people, ProOably it would discourage the passage of reckless and foolish laws. Spaeker Burdick introduced the resolution, end it ap pea res- to meet with the approve I of the house. We imagine that it will be apt to pass a 7vote of the people, but some believe that its scope might be widened some what with profit. in the office of County Clerk Bryson at Eugene.
