Judge * Urcldo Arjalnut Stitto Trniupor- tntlon llonrd , LINCOLN , Neb. , Nov. 26. Chief Jus- tlco Norvnl has held that the bo.ird of transportation'la null .and volrt and the other two judges of the Nebraska supreme court concur. iTJio ilaw IB de clared unconstitutional because It was not properly passed by the two houses of the legislature. This decision wipes from the statutes n law that has been in force since 1887 and leaves prac tically no railroad regulation in forcf. The old maximum rate law Is dormant or inoperative , and upon the next leg islature will devolve the duty of en acting a new' law or of submitting to the people a constitutional amendment providing for the election of railroad commissioners by the pooplc. These or other remedies may bo proposed. Following is the syllabus of the opinion : The provlslbns ot section 11 , article 3 of the constitution , relative to the mode of enacting laws are mandatory. The title to a legislative act is a part thereof and must clearly express the subject of legislation. An enrolled bjll in the office of the ee6r'ctnry of state is only prliua facie evidence of its passage : Whore the legislative journals un'e- qulvocally contradict the evidence fur nished by the enrolled bill the f6r- mcr will control. Webster vs. City of Hastings , 81 N. W. 510. A statute Is invalid which the legis lative Journals show was never passed in the mode prescribed by the consti tution. A statute is invalid which Is not read in each house of the legislature on three different days. Chapter GO , 1887 , is void us the act ns enrolled was not passed by the leg islature in the mode prescribed by sec tion 11 , article 3 of the constitution. Judge Holcomb occurred In the opin ion and added the following : "Although not entirely agreeing with the course of reasoning pursued by the chief justice In the foregoing opinion. I concur In all the propositions stated In the syllabus and regard as irresistIble - Iblo the conclusion that the act under consideration failed to pass both branches of the legislature , In com pliance with the commands of the con stitution. " The principal fault In the passage of the bill was the change in the title. The same title did not pass both houses and the house journal .does not show that the title was amended m that body.
