Sunday Dance
Law is Held Un
constitutional Measure Is Class Legislation Says the
Supreme Court in Opinion in
Saunders County Case
The state law prohibiting dancing
on Sunday was declared unconsti
tutional by the Supreme court in an
opinion handed down Saturday morn
ing. The suit which resulted in the
overturning of this law was one filed
by County Attorney Cecil F. Oallo
wal of Saunders county, in which it
, was sought to force the closing of
j the. Scotts Lake Outing club near
J Morse Bluffs, where Sunday dances
were being conducted.
It was the charge of the county
attorney that the morals of the young
, people in thct vicinity were being
corrupted. The District court of
' H .. .. .1 . . i . 1 i 1
nauiiufis county upneiu ine law aim
granted the injunction closing the
resort.
Fine and Sentence Provided.
The law provided that "if any
person of the age of 14 years or up
wards 6hall be found on the first day
of the week, commonly called Sun
day, rioting, quarreling, engaged in
public dancing, hunting or shooting,
he or she shall be fined in a sum not
exceeding $20 or be imprisoned in
the county jail for a term not exceed
ing 20 days, or both."
A provision, however, was includ
ed asserting that the portion of the
act relating to public dancing should
not apply to cities of the metropolitan
class having a public welfare board
with authority to regulate public
dancing. It was this provision that caused
he Supreme court to overturn the
law. Regarding that the court says:
Called Class Legislation.
"That portion of Section !79"i . , .
is invalid, as class legislation, under
Section 18, Article 3 of the consti
tution of Nebraska prohibiting the
passage of any local or special law
granting to any corporation, associa
tion, or individual any special or ex
clusive privileges, immunity or
franchise whatever."
The court points out that the law
discriminates between metropolitan
cities and between them and other
cities by a classification having no
reasonable basis.
The ruling does not affect those
provisions relating to rioting, ouar?
reling. hunting and shooting. Those
relating to hunting and shooting
have been nullified for years by pub
lic opinion ad no effort has been made
to enforce them.
The law relating to Sunday danc
ing has never been applied to private
dances and in many localities it has
been ignored as to public dances.
"Private Club" Ruse Used.
In some places, however, it has
been successfully evaded for public
dancing purposes, the promoters of
the dances using the guise of a pri
vate club by assessing a nominal
membership fee on those wishing to
dance, but charging the usual admis
sion price at the same time.
' Judge Charles H. Slama of Wahoo
was the attorney for the Scotts Lake
Outing Club in the Suit.
TIME EXTENSION IS ASKED
