1Opinion of the CourtJustice Wolverton
The legislature, at its last biennial session, enacted a statute making it “a misdemeanor for any person or persons to carry on the business of barbering on Sunday in Oregon”: Laws, 1901, p. 17. The petitioner is charged with its violation, and, being in the custody of an officer, instituted a proceeding in the circuit court by habeas corpus, to secure his release, and, being unsuccessful, prosecutes an appeal to this court. The statute is challenged as in derogation to the fourteenth amendment to the federal constitution, and to Const. Or. Art. I, § 1, and Art. IV, § 23.
