Declare Caastltatloaal Qaestlea
The Iowa supreme court iodsy disposed
ot a constitutional questloa of great Im
portance and held that acta of the twenty
sixth, twenty-geventh aad twenty-eighth
general aasembHee were in violation of
the constitution. This related to the con
trol or the waterworks la Sioux City. Ths
legislature took the. control out of the
hands of ths city council sad placed It la
a commission appointed by the Judges of
tne district court. Ia a dsclsloa by Judgs
Deemer rendered today tha law la declared
unconstitutional and, hence the water
works will agata be taken charge of by
the city council. The law waa defeated on
the ground that It violated the principle
of local self-government and alao because
It wss an attempt to glre the Judges ex
ecutlve power. On this last question it is
decided that courts cannot perform func
tions which are executive or legislative,
aad that thla attempt to place the control
of the ' waterworks under ths control of
the courts Is In vlolatloa of tbs constltu
tlon. "The manifest purpose of the leg
islature,' he writes, "ia pasaing ths aet
la question aad placing the appointing
power In the handa of the Judiciary Is a
compliment that apeaka loudly of the In
terrltv. fairness and Indenendencs of Judl-
cial officers, but If they are puf on a plan
with other officials who are compelled to.
or who at least la many Instances do use
their sppolRtlng power to further their
own Interests, will they not sscrtnee their
standing aa Judges and defeat the very ob
jects Intended to be secured? Let us ad
hero to the traditions and history of the
past; let the Judge be supreme in his field.
the legislator in his and the executive re
main where the constitution placed him;
let the three co-ordinate departments of
the government be preserved Intact; let
neither trench upon tha other, and our
liberties will be preserved and our rights
