mittees little business was transact-
cl ( on the 27th. The judiciary commit-
10 , which hud ( been instructed 10 pro-
IHlre a bill defining what property is
exempt from taxation , reported that
IL legislative definition of exemptions
would be of no value , the Interpretation -
taUon both of the constitution and
legislative enactments being within
the province of time supreme court. The
committee , quoting time constitution ,
reports that portions ot the section
are self.actlng and it hr not within
the legislative power to add to or detract .
tract therefrom. Time following por-
tion of the constitution , in the judgment -
ment of time committee , is not self-
acting but finds expression only hy
the aid ( of legislative enactment : "And
such other property as may be used
exclusively for agricultural and horticultural .
cultural societies , for schools 1'011-
glens cemetery anl charitable pur-
poses may he exempt from taxation ,

fines child dependency and provides

lee that it conflicted with time juvenile

ment.

anywhere or do anything , backache
bearing-down pains , flatulency , nerv-
ousness , sleeplessness , leut ! 'l'hrea.

that there is danger ahead , and unless

operation is the inevitable result
